I am once again focusing on some of the retiring products. Today’s feature is the Host Rewards Stamp Set, Background Bits, and the ever popular Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper.
Background Bits, 144029
Because this is a Host Rewards stamp set, the only way you can get this gorgeous set is to either host a party, or have a qualifying order. But, since you are stocking up on your favorite retiring product, this is the perfect time to do either one.
I love the soft Spring colors of this DSP and I tried to coordinate the stamped flowers by using the Wisteria Wonder marker to tie it together. And of course the Petal Burst Embossing Folder always is a great pairing for flower stamps and/or DSP.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. If you are interested in earning this set before it is gone, please let me know. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.
Another Paper Pumpkin Special: The March PP was so popular due to the special gift that it sold out. So Stampin’ Up! has offered a great deal to replace that. New Subscribers who sign up before April 10, will receive April and May for half price. So 2 months for the price of 1. A great deal. Use my link HERE, and enter the code: SAVEFIFTY0418
It is still a great time to become a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. I would love to have you join my team. A great perk for demonstrators this time of year is getting to see the new catalog first. Then we get to order and play with the new products a month early. For me, that is one of the best parts of being a SU Demonstrator. Of course, the discount helps! If you are interested, please contact me and let’s talk.
Welcome to our Pals Blog Hop, May 2018. This month we’ll be “Stepping Up with Textures or Techniques.” What’s that? Projects that are “stepped up” by using textures or fun techniques. Who knows, maybe both! Join us in the fun while we inspire you to “step up” your creations.
You may be starting the hop here or you may be coming from a previous Pal’s blog. Either way, you’ve come to the right place. You’ll find the full line-up below to help you move or “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
For an old but goody technique, I have done a negative sponging technique. It is one of the simplest techniques to do and always gives surprising and beautiful results.
Leaflets Framelits, 138283
I have used the Leaflets Framelits (on the retiring list 🙁 ) to make a template. And it’s a 2 for 1, you get a leaf already cut out for a future project. I centered the negative of the leaf on my Whisper White card stock and secured it with some Washi Tape. You do not want the template to move while you are sponging. To begin, I colored the entire leaf with Calypso Coral, then went over all but the center with Cherry cobbler. I then went around the edges with Cajun Craze for a little more depth. Now just lift up the template and you have a beautiful stenciled Leaf.
The sentiment is from an old favorite the Work of Art stamp set. I next die cut another leaf from a layer cut for my card. There are two ways to attach the stenciled leaf. It can be adhered to the top layer from underneath. Or it can be adhered to the base card and then the top layer attached over top with Stampin’ Dimensionals. That takes a bit of aligning, but I love the look.
To finish off my card I stamped the little corner decoration in Cherry Cobbler. I love the simple little addition. It is from the Not Retiring new set Hold On To Hope. Although, this is a bundle and the 10% discount for the bundle will end when the Occasions Catalog ends. So jump on it now!
Thank you so much for visiting today! I appreciate your stopping by my blog during the hop. I would love to read comments from you. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. Remember the Retiring List and Clearance Rack are “While Supplies Last”. The leaf framelits and Work of Art set are both on that list.
Now it’s time to see how the rest of the Pals are Stepping up with Textures or Techniques. Please use the Blog Hop Line-Up below to move from blog to blog. Don’t forget to show us some love by commenting on our creations.
Mark your calendars for June 13, 2018 where we feature projects for Babies, Birthdays and Brides. You’ll probably even see products from Stampin’ Up!s new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. Don’t miss it!

A quick and easy Thank You is a card that I love making. And then I feel like I should make extras to have on hand. Today’s card is one that would be easy to accomplish both of those. Two colors and three stamps is all it takes.
Southern Serenade, 145921
The background of this card is the lace stamp using Soft Sky Ink to randomly cover the entire top piece. I then stamped the flower in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored with the Pool Party and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. How quick and easy. I actually did make a couple of these at one time because it was so quick. Sometimes more is not better.
Thank you very much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day and come back tomorrow for the Pals Blog Hop.

I have a beautiful Stained Glass card today that I made as a sympathy card. There is no sentiment on the front, so actually it could be for any occasion. But I needed a sympathy card and was thrilled with how it turned out. I hope you love it as well.
Graceful Glass 6 X 6 Designer Vellum, 146344
Doesn’t this actually look like a piece of stained glass? And the best part is that you do not have to stamp or emboss it. This is a piece of the Graceful Glass 6X6 Designer Vellum. I trimmed the panel down to fit on a standard card and then just colored with my Stampin’ Blends. There are more colors coming in the new catalog and I cannot wait.
This piece is so pretty that it doesn’t really need anything to surround it. I even thought of making a taller/skinnier card. But in the end decided on the regular A2 size. To even things out I used to the Softly Falling Embossing Folder to give some texture to the side panels you see. Sometimes a little bit is all you need.
If you do not currently have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I would love to hear from you and will be happy to send you the new catalog as soon as they are available. Better yet, join my team and get a lot of the new products in your Starter Kit. You get to pick everything for your Starter Kit. It is the ultimate shopping spree! Contact me and let’s chat.

I have been focusing on stamp sets that are retiring. For a bit of a change of pace, I am using one that is not retiring. It is the Hold On To Hope Bundle from the Occasions Catalog. However……the bundle price is going away. Both the stamp set and dies are carrying over, they just will not have a bundled together price of 10% off. Any bundles you are still considering should be snatched up now and save. Every little bit saved helps!
Hold On To Hope Bundle, 145969
I kept this card pretty clean and simple. Don’t you just love the details on the Cross? I stamped the cross in Soft Suede and then the detailed one in Crumb Cake, and cut it out with the matching die.
Note: A must have for detailed dies is the Multi-purpose Adhesive Sheet. I always make a mess of glue on intricately cut items and there is no mess with the adhesive sheets. Yay!!
For the flower swatch I colored the stamp with Old Olive and Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Markers. To add some equal alignment, I added the little corner stamp in Old Olive as well. I love the little guy!

Friendships Sweetest Thoughts is a perfect springtime stamp set. I love it and will miss it at the end of next month. Today I have paired it with the Fresh Floral DSP that includes the current In Color Family of colors.
Friendships Sweetest Thoughts, 145826
I believe the DSP pairs perfectly with the little flower cart. I have mixed my reds in this. I used Berry Burst Card stock and DSP, Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blend, and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend for the bird. Who knew it would all mesh pretty well???
The cart is stamped and colored with the Stampin’ Blends and then cut out using the Layering Ovals Framelits. Instead of placing it under an oval cut into the DSP, I decided just to layer it on top. Without a background layer, the single layer lays flat enough that it appears to be underneath. A win for quick and not having to measure to find the center!
Thank you for stopping by today! I have included all of the products used at the bottom of the page. Remember the Retiring Lists. The stamp set and DSP are on there.
