Fond Farewell ~Bloom by Bloom Thank You

Leave a comment

We are in the last week  for the Stampin UP! 2018 – 2019  annual catalog which means that stamp sets and other products will be retiring and there are some of my favorites among them.  So I am going to use my blog posts to share some of the things that are retiring – along with links so that you can put in your order so you don’t miss out.

Today’s card uses the Bloom by Bloom Stamp Set ~ along with the retiring 2017 – 2019 retiring In-Color Berry Burst with its coordinating 3/8 Mini Ruffled Ribbon.  This is a card I offered in a recent Card Buffet and over 50 were made!

Stamparatus Technique ~ Set Back Stampin’ Video Tutorial

2 Comments

It is a while since I shared a technique using the Stamparatus and today I have one called Set Back Stampin’ using the Petal Palette Stamp set with the coordinating Petals and More Thinlet Dies.

The Stamparatus is Stampin’ UP!’s latest tool  and an absolute must have for all stampers.  It helps you perfectly align your stamp images, stamp multiples of the same project quickly and accurately and gets complete ink coverage – ‘cos you can do a ‘do-over’ as my video today will show.

Petal Palette ~ Best wishes

Leave a comment

Petal Palette Stamp set is due to retire at the end of this month – it has been one of my favorites, partly because it has flowers and partly because of all the greetings it has!  I shall be sharing at least one more card with this set before the end of May – but don’t delay in ordering yours – as they are likely to sell out pretty quickly!

As usually happens I turn to my ribbon drawer for choosing my colors – and sitting in there is the Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green 3/8 Reversible Ribbon – it combines two colors that I would not have put together myself – Stampin’ UP! helps me be so much more creative by presenting these ideas for me to build on!

One of the FREE sale-a-bration stamp sets available is  Hello Cupcake, it has the cutest cupcake image with three greetings and I shared a card using it a few weeks ago.  You might not want to use the cupcake everytime – so I have made an alternative card using the same set which could be a birthday card although I might just use it as an any occasion card ‘cos you can send sweet wishes to just about anyone ~  just because you can 🙂

I  think we all love to get something for FREE and from January 3rd thru March 31st Stampin’ UP! are offering some really beautiful products that you can get for FREE with each $50 you spend on Stampin’ UP! product….. read on for more information 🙂

Meant to Be ~ Z Fold Bridge Valentine Card

Leave a comment

Happy Valentine’s Day

Today’s card is one we made during our January card class and it is a variation of the Z fold card, with a cute little 3D embellishment.   My inspiration came from a the Christmas card my dear friend, Elly, of ElleMentry Papercrafting in the UK, sent me.

I chose to use the Meant to Be Bundle today, it has such pretty, decorative hearts allowing me to randomly decorate my card, as well as the Be Mine Stitched Framelit Dies giving me lots of choice for using decorative die cuts.

I know that not everyone wants or needs to make a valentine card so I created a birthday version using the same supplies but using the Petal Pallete Stamp set and the coordinating Petals and More Thinlet Dies.

Today is a ‘twofer’ – two cards for the price of one!  One of the first things on my ‘wish list’ for the 2018 – 2019 Annual Catalog was the Darling Label Punch Box!  It is the cutest tin filled with crafting must-haves, add some card and adhesives and maybe a few embellishments and you are ready to start creating!

This box contains a 6-piece stamp set with a coordinating punch, a clear stamp block and two Stampin’ Spots ~ one in Grapefruit Grove,  the other in Night of Navy.  Both my card use the goodies from this 8 x 8 x 3 size tin plus some Designer Series Paper, ribbon and Metallic Pearls.  You gotta read on to see what I came up with……………………
