The title of today’s post comes from the card I have made, but it could be thought of as remembering the outgoing catalog and looking forward to the new! I know both of those are in my thoughts!! Here is today’s card.
Rose Wonder, 140697
I love how this card turned out. I have to say it is a CASE from my Up, Upline Pam Morris. She swapped this card at On Stage and I loved the simplicity and awesome layout. Thank You Pam !!
All of the products, except the Rose Wonder stamp set, are on the retiring list. So Sad 🙁 I also want to say that I am sending this card to a fellow demonstrator who is going through a really hard situation right now. Please say a prayer for her.
There is not really anything to describe on this sweet card except to say I love everything about it. I really hate to see these Very Vanilla doilies, the ruched ribbon, and this beautiful Falling In Love DSP go away. I highly recommend this DSP if it is still available on the retiring list.
You can click on any of the products below to go to my online store and order up these beauties!
Thank you very much for stopping by today! I love to hear from you and would be honored to help you in your stamping endeavor!
I am behind on trying out the new Eastern Beauty bundle. And I have to say it is amazing! At first glance I thought it really was not my style. But the more samples I saw using the set made me rethink my opinion. So after getting my hands on it and playing… Oh My!! I love it !! The set is so versatile. Here is my first adventure with the Eastern Beauty Bundle.
Eastern Beauty Bundle, 145308
I really like how this turned out and this design could be used for so many different occasions. I don’t know if you can see from the picture, but the petals of the Powder Pink flower are popped open a little. That is from the Eastern Medallion Dies that are part of the bundle. There are 14 pieces to the bundle! I still have not played with the majority of the options. I have seen where other demonstrators have die cut and circle punched several sheets of possibilities. Once June 1 arrives I am sure you will be able to find all of these on Pinterest.
As you can tell my card was very simple with stamping the circles in Powder Pink and Berry Burst. I then stamped and Die Cut the flower. The strip of Lemon Lime Twist DSP was just to tie everything together and balance it out. And like i said earlier, this layout would go with many different sentiments for almost any occasion.
Thank you for stopping by today! We are winding down on the current catalog and the Retiring List. There are some great values to be found there. But you only have a couple more days, it ends on May 31st.
If you do not have a current Stampin’ Up ! Demonstrator and would be interested in a new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog, drop me a note and I will be happy to send you one.
Below are the products I used today. You can click on the card or any of the products to go directly to my online store.
With all of the graduations going on now, I had a request for a Thank You card from a graduating senior. To say I was pleased is an understatement!! The card was for a favorite Aunt who loves to garden. This is what I came up with.

I used bright colors and a single stem from the Helping Me Grow stamp set and I do like the way it turned out. I hope the recipient does as well. Below are the card details.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s May Blog Hop! Today’s Blog Hop is filled with projects that offer you a sneak peek at new items in Stampin’ Up!’s 2017 Annual Catalog. We are so excited about the June 1 release of this new catalog – it’s AMAZING – and we are excited to share our sneak peek creations with you today. 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 card for today’s InKing Royalty Hop is using items that I won at OnStage and that I got with the pre-order that us demonstrators LOVE! Is a great treat to see the catalog first and to then get to touch and play with new items.
Oh So Eclectic, Lovely Inside and Out
The sets I used are Lovely Inside & Out for the sentiment and Oh So Eclectic for the flowers and leaves. Oh So Eclectic is a very versatile stamp set and can be used singly or as a TWO STEP process. I did the two step process and stamped the leaves in Pear Pizzaz and then the top with Always Artichoke. The flower is stamped in Fresh Fig (one of the new InColors and one I LOVE!) and then secondly in Archival Basic Black. I used a Pear Pizzaz Stampin’ Write Marker to color the stem of the flower.
I added the sentiment in Pear Pizzaz and Always Artichoke and then used my friend Julie DiMatteo’s technique ( Julie’s posts are a must see, she is Number 2 in todays lineup.) I added a little splatter to the white part of the card. To do easy splatter Julie uses a marker, Fresh Fig, and flicks the large tip on the inside of the cap. It is so simple….proof is in the card that I did! I then added a couple of rhinestones just for some bling.
Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Karen Browning at
Today I am showcasing a beautiful stamp set and die bundle that will be going away in a couple of weeks. It is terrible that sometimes we find something we really love just as it is retiring. And that is the case with this bundle. Here is the card I made for my Stamp Club Spring Card Swap.
Timeless Tags Thinlits Dies, 142755
This is such a sweet card and I would love to receive one like it. This bundle, That’s The Tag – 144725, was sort of a sleeper in the Occasions Catalog. I will admit it took me a while to pull it out. And I am so happy that I did. Wow! Such a quick and cute card.
The base of this card is Thick Whisper White card stock cut to 4 1/4 X 11. (It stands up better with this cut )
The Brights DSP stack is cut 4 X 5 1/4, then it cut it to 5 1/4 X 2 1/2 and 5 1/4 X 1 1/2. I then flipped one side over. (The two patterns of this DSP are on the same sheet)
The White focal layer was cut with the layering ovals die and the butterfly cut outs from this bundle
The Real Red scalloped oval is also from layering ovals dies.
After I adhered everything I took a few of the cut out butterflies and added them back to the card using a glue dot.
I hope you enjoyed today’s card and if you really love this set as I did, it is still available on the Retiring List. You can just click the link below.
Thank you so much for visiting today. I love your comments and am very happy to assist you with anything. So please contact me with any questions.
And if you do not currently have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator ,or are interested in becoming a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I would love to hear from you.
I see 4 X 4 cards quite often and think to myself that I should try that, and of course I never do! Well today I did it!! And then I do the imaginary eye roll and ask “why did I wait so long to do this”? Duh….. Of course the 4 X 4 cards can be every bit as elaborate as a regular A2 card or just a simple note. I went with the simple.
Country Livin’ 141925, $15.00
My plan was for a cute little card that could be used for a variety of reasons. And as most of my cards are, it was very quickly put together. The stamp sets are Country Livin’ and Endless Birthday Wishes.
The base of the card is done in Soft Suede card stock = 8 X 4 and folded in half
The next layer is Sahara Sand card stock = 3 3/4 X 3 3/4
The top layer is Very Vanilla card stock = 3 1/2 X 3 1/2
The boots are stamped in Early Espresso Ink and colored with a Blender Pen and the Ink pads .
The boots are colored with Sahara Sand ink, the darker areas are Crumb Cake Ink and the sole and straps are Soft Suede ink
The Yippee is stamped in Early Espresso
The shading around the boots is Soft Sky ink and a blender pen. This idea comes from Susan Itell.
The ends of the top layer are torn and sponged with Soft Suede
The “lasso” is Linen Thread looped around and secured with a Glue Dot.
And that is the building of my card. I hope you enjoyed it. I love reading your comments and very much appreciate them. If you have any questions, please contact me.
