Hi Everyone – I have been asked if I am going to do a product share for the new papers, ribbons and embellishments in the 2020 Annual Catalog……………… YES and here it is:
I am going to do 4 separate shares – one for the Designer Series Paper (DSP) and one for the ribbons and one for embellishments – you can choose to do any of them or HAVE IT ALL
I carefully pack and label all the items before shipping so they arrive in perfect condition.
Bumble Bee is the 3rd of the 5 new 2020 – 2022 In-colors I have featured so far. I have paired it with a little Just Jade and the super scrummy Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper and the wooden accents from the In Good Taste Elements.
My greeting is from the very popular Forever Fern Stamp Set because I just love those words….. and it is a lovely script! You could add any message to suit your need, as I think this would be a great birthday, thank you, thinking of you type card.
This card started with a piece of Purple Posy card, which was sitting next to my paper trimmer, I ran it thru my cut and embossing machine with one of the Greenery Embossing Folders which is one of the new folders in the 2020 – 2021 Annual Catalog. All the decorative parts are attached to this patch then attached to the base card with 4 – 5 Stampin Dimensionals.
So who says sunflowers have to be yellow? Misty Moonlight turned out to be a perfect combination with Purple Posy and Seaside Spray.
If you are looking for a really versatile stamp set you cannot go wrong with Field of Flowers, I just love the big ‘ALWAYS…..” then to use one of the other greetings to personalize your exact sentiment. There are 7 of them – Thinking of You, In my Heart, My Friend, Love, to name a few. I chose to use ‘my friend’ on the inside of this card.
There is the coordinating Confetti Flowers Border Punch, which I used to decorate the bottom edge of my card today. …….. and guess what ? this stamp set and punch are available as a 10% off bundle!
Once again I am thrilled to be taking part in the Ink . Stamp . Share blog hop, we are a group of Stampin’ Up!®️Demonstrators from around the globe here to bring you inspiration through creativity!
You will have either arrived from Sue’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME . This month’s theme is ANYTHING GOES!
At the beginning of the year Stampin’ UP! introduced the Umbrella Builder Punch to go along with the coordinating Under My Umbrella Stamp Set (which has the most delious pair of welly boots – which is very on-point at the moment) Anyway, I am so thrilled, these are now part of the 2020 -2021 Annual Catalog!
I like to see if I can make my goodies do more that one thing so I have used the punch to create a flower!
In case you haven’t heard the news, an old Stampin’ Up! standby has retired: SNAIL Adhesive. But don’t be sad—because they are replacing it with a product that is even better and stronger: SEAL and SEAL+ Adhesive.
These are available now – check out page 162 of the 2020 – 2021 Annual Stampin’ UP! catlog – we shall be using this at upcoming classes, stamp camps and card buffets.
When Stampin’ UP! gave us a heads up on the new 2020 – 2022 In-colors I knew that Misty Moonlight would be my favorite! For a start off its blue ~ I love blue, next it is a nice soft medium dark blue – which works in so well with the other blues in the SU family.
Today’s card is another in my Sweet and Simple series where I have set myself a little challenge using a small amount of equipment and supplies – kind of like one of those cookery shows where you are given 3 or 4 ingredients and you have to turn it into a spectacular 4 course meal! I think it meets my aim of using one stamp set, a couple of ink pads, an embellishment and a tool – which is my Paper Trimmer.
I joined Stampin’ UP! as a demontrator in November 2010 – it was one of the best decisions I made. It allowed me to express my creativity using high quality, coordinating products. It has also allowed me to meet new people with whom I have become friends.
I believe in sharing what I do and introducing people to card crafting and seeing the joy on their face when they create their first card. I chose to develop a business for myself but that is not a requirement, read on for some more information 🙂
I was asked the other day what the difference was between ‘Cling’ stamps and ‘Photopolymer’ Stamps – and that is a very good question. After nearly 10 years as an SU demo I tend to forget there are folks that are new to this wonderful craft!
Basically they each do the same job – produces beautiful images for your crafting delight, they are made from different materials you just handled them a little differently. So today’s post explains how to handle them, attach labels, attach to acrylic blocks and keep them clean.
