Cajun Craze Dandelion Wishes – Get Well Card

Leave a comment

It is so easy to get carried away with all the new goodies we have to choose from in the new 2019 – 2020 Stampin’ UP! catalog and I have shared some of them over the last couple of weeks.

There are some particular favorite stamp sets that carried over from last year and one of them is Dandelion Wishes.  A few months ago I ‘tripped over’ the color combination of Cajun Craze and Petal Pink – it fascinated me then and still does today, so my card features this combination along with another favorite – a simple Z-fold card.

Above the clouds with Seaside Spray!

Leave a comment

I have been sharing the new 2019 – 2021 In-colors and now it is the turn of some of the new products. I used the Above the Clouds Stamp Set today, which has the coordinating Hot Air Balloon punch to cut out that cut hot air balloon and its little basket, each of the products are available separately but if you buy the bundle you will save 10% – check out the link below!

I think the greeting on this one would be perfect for a graduation card, I know that most graduations are over for this year in the US but in the UK school is still very much in and not due to finish for the summer holidays until late July – so there is still time to make a card if you are in the UK and looking for some inspiration.

Product Spotlight ~ Take Your Pick

In September of 2018 Stampin’ UP! introduced a new product – the Take Your Pick Tool, a Multipurpose Pickup and Precision Tool that has a neat tacky putty tip that picks up small bits like sequins and tiny beads.

It also has a piecing tool, small and large stylus for scoring paper and a little spatula.  When the new 2019 – 2020 Catalog came out a few weeks ago a Die Brush for removing small cut pieces when using dies.

Introducing …………. Pretty Peacock with Mint Macaron

Leave a comment

Pretty Peacock is the third of the 5 new Stampin’ UP!  in-colors for this year, I have done a little experiencing with some of the other colors in the SU family and have paired it with some Mint Macaron and the scrummy Copper Foil, which in all honesty was the starting point for my card today.  I had a piece left from another project, the surface was a little scuffed so I ran it thru the BIG SHOT with the Country Floral Embossing Folder and I fell in love!

Introducing Rococo Rose with Woven Heirlooms

Leave a comment

My apologies for being a day late with my post – it has been a busy week as I had my catalog launch on Thursday with over 20 of my wonderful and supportive customers who came to look at new products, do some make and takes and collect their own precious copy of the new catalog!

Our next new color for 2019 – 2021 is Rococo Rose ~ a gentle pink my sweet ol’ Mum would have called Ashes of Roses.  I have paired it with one of the new stamp sets – Woven Heirlooms, one of the first stamp sets on my list when I opened the new catalog! a new coordinating  ribbon and the Bird Ballad Trinkets.

This is the second of the new In-Colors and they are all so very pretty – you can get your hands on a set if you would like to join in my ink and color share, where you can build up your collection over the next few months without breaking the bank – click here for more info

I paired it with the ‘just breathe’ greeting from the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set – I think it gives a really inspirational card, perfect if you are wanting to encourage or inspire someone! Continue reading →
