Today’s card is a little Wacky as opposed to yesterday’s Bright card. I will return to normal cards next week…maybe 🙂 I have used Mary Fish’s Million Dollar Stamp Set, Varied Vases and the matching punch for my card. I am in Mary’s 3rd tier so I feel appreciative of this wonderful bundle. It really matches Mary and has her signature tulip in the set.
Varied Vases Bundle, 148381
Remember that the title for today is TILTED Vases. Actually the vases are the only things aligned straight on the card. This card came about from items left on my stamping desk. It is a bit different, but very bright and happy.
I stamped the vases with Gray Granite ink on the white layer as well as the outer two stamped onto scrap paper. I colored all three with the Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends and then punched the two outer vases using the matching Vases punch.
Even though the red layers are Real Red cardstock, the red flowers are Lovely Lipstick marker on the left and Real Red marker on the right , with Pink Piroutte Stampin’ Blends in the center. The Washi tape seemed to match the Tutti Frutti DSP so it serves as the table for the vases.
When I was deciding the final layout, I bumped my layers and they went a little askew. That made me rethink the normal layout and this is what I ended up with. Sometimes you just go with the flow….what’s laying on your desk and the result of moving your layers. A happy ending as far as I am concerned!
Thank you so much for visiting today! I hope to see you back on Monday morning. All of the supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. I hope you have a great Memorial Day Weekend with family and friends. I will be remembering those who helped us to enjoy the freedoms we have.
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.
I have married new and old products for today’s card. The stamp set is Beautiful You and I am thrilled that it carried over to the new catalog. I have paired it with the returning favorite Mint Macaron and a new color Grapefruit Grove. They are great together I believe.
Beautiful You, 143637
The other new items you might notice are the gorgeous ribbon. The 1/8″ ribbon is my favorite for depth on cards. It is “Just Enough” without overpowering. I also stamped on the Natures Poem Designer Series Paper with the lady and fussy cut it out. The stripes for her dress and the added stripe on the card front are one side, and the leafy print umbrella is the other side of the same paper. I know I have said it often , but I LOVE Stampin’ Up!’s beautiful double sided DSP!!
The ink behind the lady is Soft Sea Foam, another new color. I used the Clear Block “H” as the stamp. And the texture on the background layer is the Scattered Sequins Embossing Folder.
Thank you very much for stopping by today. I greatly appreciate it, and love your comments. Please let me know if you have any questions. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page.
Don’t forget that the Share What You Love Suite of products is still available for pre-order through the end of the month.

Sorry I am a little late this morning. I was out of town yesterday and forgot to do my post last night. But it is a cute 3 X 3 card that I think you will like. It would be perfect for a little hand out card or a pick me up for a friend.
Rooted In Nature, 146482
I just love tis sentiment. It is from the Rooted In Nature stamp set and I got it in my pre-order for the upcoming catalog. This is an awesome perk of being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator!! Another of my new items is the Detailed Trio Punch. It is three cornered, and has a little flower, a tag hole punch, and a corner rounder. I am so happy to have a corner rounder again besides using my Envelope Punch Board. Best of all is that it punches very easily. Yay!!
The other new products are the Tranquil Textures DSP. I just love beautiful coordinating colors in small designs. It makes it so easy to do multiple cards using different colors as the focal point. Stampin’ Up!’s DSP is a definite weakness of mine! And the other “New” is actually a returning item….Yes Mint Macaron is back! Woohoo!!!
To give my little tag some definition with an added layer for this little card, I used my marker technique. I take the brush tip of the Stampin’ Write Marker and hold it with the side of the brush angled against the paper. I then just run it around the entire outside edge. You get just enough color to make it stand out front he background paper with no added thickness. I hope you will give this a try sometime.

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.

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.

As I am pulling the retiring stamp sets, I have fond memories of so many. So as I said on Monday, I am going to showcase a few of my favorites. Today and tomorrow I will be using the same stamp set . It is a different set from earlier in the week, but these two cards are similar in layers and shape. This set is perfect for the quick Random Act of Kindness card or just a cute card.
Watts of Occasions, 143867
A few layers of beautiful card stock and a little Stampin’ Blends, and finished! What a deal!! I love the simplicity but shine this has. I layered Rich Razzleberry card stock with Gold Foil card stock. I added a layer of the Painted With Love DSP from the Occasions Catalog. The heart in the light bulb mimics the hearts on the DSP. The reflection you see in the photo is from the gold foil hearts. It is very hard to photograph. However, it is quick and easy. You could make quite a few of these in just a short time.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Tomorrow’s card will be using this same stamp set. I hope you will come back to check it out. The supplies I used are listed at the bottom of the page. clicking on any item will take you directly to my online store.
