I have a cute little card to share today.  But first I need to make a correction to a statement I made on yesterday’s notecard.  The Vanilla and Whisper White Note Cards ARE still available in the new catalog.  I mistakenly said they had retired.  YIKES!!!  I am so sorry, and thrilled that I was wrong.

Okay, on to today’s project.  I am sharing the Daisy Lane stamp set.  This is the new set that matches the original daisy punch, with the bonus of fitting the smaller daisy punch.  The small one is new and is a bundle to this stamp set.

 

 

After saying that the Daisy Lane has a new matching punch, I did not use it.  The flower I chose to use does not fit the punches.  It was not hard at all to fussy cut.

I stamped the ferns in Garden Green and the base of the flowers in Old Olive Ink.  The flowers are stamped in Mango Melody and then colored with the Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends.  A super easy card to do.

One of my go to ribbons is the Linen Thread.  I wrapped it around the top two layers three times and then used three strands to make the bow.  Quick and easy and I love the texture that it adds.

Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope you will return on Monday and hopefully I will have all of my new products put away and organized to work with.  I have been in a mess this week!!  Hopefully you have a wonderfully weekend.

Abstract Scallops

I am sharing another of the Hidden Gems in the new Annual Catalog.  Today I am excited to show you the Scallop Notecards and Envelopes.  They are replacing the White and Vanilla Notecards that retired, although they may still be available on the clearance rack.

These new envelopes are in four colors that you can match with so many of the Stampin’ Up! colors.  Here is my quick little card.

 

 

I chose to try the Balmy Blue scallop card to begin with.  They also are in pink, old olive and terra-cotta tile.  I paired mine with a piece of Whisper White card stock that I stamped the Abstract Impressions flowers on.

I used the new Purple Posy Scallop Linen Ribbon to add some texture to the bottom.  This comes in a few of the new colors and is awesome!

OOPS:  I made a mistake.  I used the Purple Posy Ink on this project.  It is the one that there were issues with the formula.  So I apologize, but it is not orderable at this time.  I am so sorry!!!

My unconventional flowers are stamped in Purple Posy ink and Rococo Rose ink.  The Purple Posy is full strength and the Rose is stamped off once.  The Old Olive for the stems are some full strength and some stamped off as well.

The scallop notecard is 3 1/2 X 5.  I cut my Whisper White layer down to 3 X 4 1/2.  It is raised with dimensional also.

Thanks for stopping in today.  I will have a more regular card to share with you tomorrow….I hope!!  But please do not dismiss these Hidden Gems when looking through the catalog.  And if you do not have a new catalog, or a demonstrator, please let me know.  I would love to get a catalog to you and help you with your stamping needs.

Sail Away Anywhere

I am running around like crazy these last couple of days.  So I have the Ultimate Quick and Easy card to share with you.  It really cannot get any easier than this.

 

 

This really sweet card is just perfect for a fellow traveling friend.  The best part, there is NO Stamping on it.  Well, there is on the inside.  I know…..It’s shocking that I would share a No Stamping card.  Well, sometimes they are just called for.  This is made with the Fabulous Come Sail Away Memories and More Card Pack.  These are double sided cards in two sizes.  You get a lot of them.  There are also stickers, some with place for writing if you are using it for scrapbooking.  But they are all gorgeous.

This one is 4 X 6 and I cut it down to 4 X 5 1/4.  The only thing I did to the front is to add the gold Metallic Pearl to the center of the compass.  I debated on using the silver one, but decided the old time compass would have been brass, so gold fit better.

Please don’t overlook products like this in the new catalog!  They are those hidden gems that you come to love.  Tomorrow I will have another of the Hidden Gems to share, so I hope you will return.

Hello Magnolia

Happy New Catalog Day!!  I made that up of course, but I am so thrilled to be able to order more new products.  And I am sure you are as well.

There have been quite a lot of samples of this Good Morning Magnolia stamp set.  Last night I only had a few minutes to get today’s project ready.  So I tried to do a quick and versatile card.  I am very happy with what I came up with.

 

I see this layout as a group of Thank You , and just Hello type cards for a nice gift.  I already have that picture in my mind with a cute decorative box to match.

I went with subtle colors for the magnolia to pair with.  The speckle around the magnolia is, surprisingly, from the Birthday Backgrounds stamp set.  I stamped off in Petal Pink to get the really soft splatter look.  I felt that it needed just a bit of “something else”.  So I added the two falling leaves.  I like the way it turned out.

Thank you for stopping by today.  I hope you will return tomorrow.  The complete list of products is at the bottom of the post.  There are not very many items used on this one though!

Cactus Bling

Today’s card is a CASE of a card I received in a swap with other PALs at OnStage in  Charlotte.  Unfortunately the maker’s card was not in the envelope, so I do not know who to give credit to for this cute card.

Flowering Desert, 148700

I gave the cactus a little flower on it’s head and added a touch of bling.  Looking at it now though, it almost looks like a much too small little hat!!  LOL!!  I am going to stick with it being a flower.

The background is the Subtle Embossing Folder which gives just enough texture without overdoing it.  I love the embossing folder for a variety of reasons.  The cactus , flowers, grass are a variety of greens and Mango Melody.

I added the ribbon in Calypso Coral with the layered sentiment for some depth.  The sentiment received a flower and bling to match the cactus.  This was a fun card to make!

Thank you for stopping by today.  I really like this stamp set and think it was under showcased.  It has the potential for some really sweet cards.  Unfortunately it is on the retiring list.

Simple Note

I know I say I love a stamp set quite often, and I do love so many of the sets.  The one I am using today is the first of the “distinctive” type stamps that I fell for.  It is the Wishing You Well stamp set.  It was in the Holiday Catalog and carried over to the Occasions Catalog. Unfortunately it did not make the cut for the upcoming new Annual Catalog.  (Insert Sad Face!)

So I had to make a quick and easy #simplestamping card with it.  The set is just perfect for the simple stamping.  The #simplestamping is a challenge that Sara Douglass (SU CEO) did back in November.  It is going back to basics with Stamps, Paper, Ink.  Sometimes I think we get carried away with the embellishments and layers.  This is a great way to get back to basic stamping.  Here is my card for today.

 

Wishing You Well, 147864

 

I have to say, my most favorite stamp in this set is the bow.  It is so delicate looking but the shading the stamp gives is remarkable.  Plus it is very easy to fussy cut if you wanted to raise it for another look.

I made this card with my Stamp Club yesterday.  The only thing I did differently is add a couple of the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls to a few flowers.  It draws your eye more to the flower.  But I wanted to share with you the simpler version.  All this card took was some card stock, two ink pads, and one stamp set.  This would be a great one to make multiples of.

Thank you for visiting today.  As always, the complete supply list is at the bottom of the post.
