The Stampin’ Up! Share What You Love Designer Series Paper is by far my favorite of all time!! I have used it several times since I received my Pre-Order for the new catalog. And I cannot stop using it. I may need intervention! But in addition to the AWESOME paper, I am showcasing a new fold. Or it could be a new cut, or both! Here it is and then I will explain what I mean.
Abstract Impressions, 147513
That DSP just shines! Actually it really does shine. This is one of the sheets that has a pearlized look to some of the flowers. The little pearls in the flower centers are the Share What You Love Artisan Pearls. They are just too cute!
The Fold/Cut is a little different. Since the DSP is card stock weight, it can serve as a card base without feeling flimsy. To achieve this look, I cut the Smoky Slate card stock to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2. I scored it at 4 1/4, the normal folding point for an A2 card. But I did not stop there. I went back to my cutter and with the score line at 3/4 on the trimmer ruler , I cut off the rest of the panel. (And I was able to use that cut piece to make the top layer with a bit leftover.)
The DSP is cut to 4 1/4 X 5 1/2. I burnished my fold on the Smoky Slate layer and placed adhesive on the inside of the 3/4 section. Then all I had to do was line up the DSP with the rest of the base and fold the small section over on top of it. Easy Peasy and perfect alignment. An added bonus is that when you open the card, you get to see the other side of this beautiful DSP!! WooHoo!! That is always a problem for me when the DSP is gorgeous on both sides. I hate to hide one of them. With this Cut/Fold, I do not have to hide either side.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog today! I greatly appreciate it and would be happy to answer any questions if I was not very clear on the instructions. I have listed all of the products used at the bottom of the post. I hope you have a great rest of your day!
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.
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.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! We are grinning from ear-to-ear with excitement over all the amazing, new products from Stampin’ Up!’s 2018 Annual Catalog – and you’re going to love what we are sharing today. Today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects that offer sneak peeks at new products from the upcoming catalog. What fun! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
My Top of the List Favorite from the new Catalog is the Share What You Love Designer Series Paper. Actually, it and all that is in that Suite of products! From the banner above, it would appear that Brian King loves this paper as well!! My card for today focuses on quite a few of the products, but especially the DSP.
Love What You Do, 148042
As I said above, I have used quite a few products from this AWESOME Suite. In doing so, I have a lot more texture than I normally do. Of course the star is the Designer Series Paper. As an unexpected touch, I let it be the main focal point and added a little extra with different ribbons. (All of the supplies are listed at the very bottom of the post.)
The sentiment is part of a “Must Have” stamp set as well. It is Love What You Do and has beautiful flowers, backgrounds, and sentiments. I know I say it is all a Must Have, but this catalog is really over the top as far as I am concerned and I do want it all!
One other unexpected item on my card is the lighter base color, which is Petal Pink. It is an Oh My! color. I think it has a touch of light peach to the pink. Whatever it may have, it is gorgeous. And it pairs well with other colors both bold and bright.
Thank you for stopping by my page on the Blog Hop. I very much appreciate it and love to read your comments.
I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the bloghop, Deb Cozzone . There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
Thank you for hopping along with us. If you get stuck during the Blog Hop, please use this line-up as a guide:

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.

For the second card using the You’ve Got This stamp set, I used almost the same products plus some DSP. I added the Delightful Daisy DSP, another favorite. It works perfectly with both the Peekaboo Peach, and Night of Navy (yesterday was Dapper Denim).
You’ve Got This, 139575
When I use DSP, I like to put a layer between it and the base layer. I don’t want it to fade into the base. Instead of Dapper Denim, I went with Night of Navy due to the little pieces of it in the floral DSP. Other than that, I used the same inks and ribbon. I left off the glitter dots from yesterday. I think the bow is more than enough for the decoration. As I said yesterday, this ribbon is a dream to work with. My bling for this card is that I went over the entire flower with Clear Wink of Stella. In person it adds quite a bit of shimmer.
I hope you like today’s card. It has more layers and a bit different layout. I hope I have I have given you pause in considering some of these retiring items. Please place your orders soon to insure that you get the items you want. You can click on any of the items and be taken directly to my online store, or click on the Shop button at the top of the page.
