Petunia Pop

Online Kit Collections, Thinking of You / /

Have you had a chance to check out the New 2024-2026 In-colors? Today I am sharing a card that I created using one of those new colors, Petunia Pop. This card has the Petunia Pop ink as well as the In-Color Designer Series paper pack. This paper pack is featured on page 98 in the Annual Catalog.

If my stamp set today looks familiar to you then you are probably a Paper Pumpkin subscriber. This elegant butterfly set was the April 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit, Delicate Wings. I thought I would share an alternative card with you today and if you are not a Paper Pumpkin member, it is not too late to sign up. Click here for more information on that. I am super impressed with the quality of products in these kits and I am sure you will be too.

Online Exclusive-Weekly Wed. #15

Online Exclusives, Thinking of You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

I am sure you will love, love, love, the new Latte Love Bundle that was released last month. This is an online exclusive and although our new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog goes live today, click below to download your digital copy, this sweet bundle will not be featured. You can however, click here to see this bundle and many more online exclusive stamp sets that are available for purchase. So let’s create a super fun card today.

https://youtu.be/KwCazg2Uf5k

I started with an Early Espresso card base and added a layer of Basic White that I embossed using the new So Sweetly Embossing folder featured on page 129. Although you cannot tell from the catalog, this embossing folder is super sized and perfect for creating those larger card fronts and slimline cards. This embossing folder measures 6 x 8 -1/2. The Dotted Circle Embossing folder is also supersized. All other folders pictured on page 129 are regular size.

The Early Espresso piece on the front measures 2-3/8 x 4 and the coffee bean designer series paper measures 2-1/4 x 3-7/8. I used my paper snips to fussy cut the coffee cups and the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss to crop the spoons. Just add three little brown gems and your card is ready to send. I really love the way the So Swirly embossing folder brings out the background of this card. I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot more if it in the future.

Wow, I cannot I have posted over 150 videos. Click here to view all the videos in my Make It Monday series.

Flowering Zinnias Vines-Weekly Wed. #14

Just Because Cards, Online Exclusives, Thinking of You / /

Hey friends, I am going to bring back my Weekly Wednesday video where I create a card with you, not live because I am too chicken and don’t really have the equipment yet, but you can create along with me weekly through my YouTube Channel. If you have been following me then you know that I have been featuring the new online exclusive Flowering Zinnias suite collection.

This is not featured in the catalog because it is an online exclusive and if you don’t want the entire collection, just pick and choose what you want. The Simply Zinnia Bundle features the stamp set and the dies while the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series paper pack and adhesive backed sequins can be purchased separately.

Today I thought it would be fun to create a card that features the leafy vine pattern in the paper pack. I paired it with a card base of Lemon Lime Twist with a little black border. Just like the little black dress in your closet makes you look fabulous, a little black border is just what this card needed.

And now today’s video:

Again the greeting is from Courage and Faith and is stamped with our Memento Black ink. I really love how well the Lemon Lime Twist matches this paper. Here is a closer look at the paper pack. Gorgeous!!!!!!!

Simply Zinnia Bundle

Online Exclusives, Thank You, Thinking of You /

Last week I posted a video from Stampin’ Up! featuring the Simply Zinnias Collection. Click here if you missed that. This is an amazing bundle and I have to admit the paper is pretty great. Here are just a few cards created by Stampin’ Up! using this collection.

I am usually not a sequin girl but I have to say they look pretty great on these card and really seem to add that needed pop! Did you know that you can purchase the colored sequins separately? I mean these are pretty colorful so you might need a second pack! Right?

Adhesive Backed Shiny Sequins

These cards were all created using a little bit of everything from the collection. I am amazed at how detailed the embossing folder is. One of the tips Stampin’ Up! shared is to use watercolor paper with the embossing folder to get an even deeper detailed look. Very cool! Happy Stamping!

Something Old & Something New

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You /

Today I am sharing with you a card that I created using an old and a new stamp set. Planted Paradise is a set that was featured in the 2023-2024 annual catalog and will be carrying over to our next annual catalog. And the new set, Unbounded Love, will be featured for the first time in the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog coming May 1st.

I used Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive and Cajun Craze ink for the potted leaves. This set does not come with dies so I did use my Paper Snips to cut out the leaf accessories and the pot. I used our Lost Lagoon cardstock to create my card base and stamped the potted planters with Lost Lagoon ink.

The greetings from Unbounded Love are stamped with Memento Black ink. I already love this new stamp set and I think you will too. It not only has some wonderful greetings but some messages for the inside of our cards, yahoo! Although the Unbounded Love stamp set is part of a bundle with some cool frames and florals, my greetings today are stamped directly to the Basic White panel that I attached to the card front.

Here is a closer look at today’s new sneak peek bundle.

Unbounded Love Bundle coming May 1st.

You can order this bundle beginning May 1st, so be sure to stop back and add that to your card on May 1st. Happy Stamping!

Planted Paradise-Make It Monday #155

Make it Monday Videos, Thank You, Thinking of You / /

Do you love potted plants? I do, I just cannot keep them alive, so I really love the Planted Paradise stamp set, it is totally safe for me. LOL I created three cards today with varying degrees of difficulty but all doable for the beginner stamper. All you need is a stamp set, some ink and of course our Paper Snips!

Yes, this stamp set does not come with a punch or dies and so it is a fussy cut project. Don’t worry, the images are all super easy to cut out and I cannot say it enough but our Paper Snips are the bomb and will make it so much easier for you, trust me! Actually don’t trust me, order a pair for yourself, try them out, and let me know what you think!

Vintage Bottle Punch

Thinking of You / /

What is your favorite, punches or dies? In my craft room I think I have a good mixture of both. I love that punches are super fast but I also love that dies are not as heavy and bulky when I pack up to craft with a friend. I love that dies have less restrictions allowing you to place them wherever you want to create a cut out, punches on the other hand, not so much.

Either way I love them both. And one of the cool things in the new 2024-2025 catalog is a new bundle where you can choose either a punch or dies. So far I think there is only one bundle offering a choice but who knows more may be featured in our future online exclusives. Mark your calendar for the new catalog coming May 1st.

Our card today features the Vintage Bottle punch. I punched 4 bottles from Boho Blossom cardstock and colored them with Boho Blossom and Night of Navy Blend markers. The Crumb Cake accent is embossing with the Painted Texture embossing folder.

I love the look of our Crumb Cake cardstock with the Night of Navy. My greeting is from the Layering Leaves stamp set. There are so many things you can do with this punch. Have fun playing around with different colors and create your own bottle design. This gem of a punch will be retiring at the end of the month. Click Here for my post on Last Chance products. Happy Stamping!

Inked &Tiled-Trust in the Lord

Just Because Cards, Thinking of You / / ,

Here is another card creation from the retiring Inked & Tiled stamp set featured in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog (AC). Many of the products in this catalog and the January – April 2024 mini catalog will be retiring at the end of April, click below for the Last Chance lists.

Beginning April 9th many of these products will be on sale, but supplies are limited and will only be available while supplies last. If there is something you really want to add to your crafting stash, I would recommend you get it now while it is still available. Happy Shopping!

I created a panel of designer series paper using the single flower from the Inked & Tiled stamp set. I cut a strip of Basic White CS and randomly stamped the single flower using Calypso Coral ink. The first stamp was with full ink and I then stamped a second time before re-inking to create a lighter look, aka second generation stamping.

The greeting is from the Courage and Faith stamp set and is stamped with Memento Black ink on a panel of Basic White. I used the Nested Essential Dies to crop the greeting and added it to the card front as shown. I hope this inspires you to create something beautiful to share today. Happy Stamping!

Delicate Forest-Favorite Things Friday

Favorite Things Friday, Thinking of You / /

Happy Friday, I hope you are all staying warm. I have another card for you today using the Delicate Forest Silhouette stamp set. I created my background using a blending brush and some Tahitian Tide ink. Gently apply several layers of ink over a Basic White panel of cardstock. It is important to go slow and apply several layers to get a smooth looking background. Using our blending brushes is one of my favorite ways to create unique backgrounds.

DELICATE FOREST

To highlight the look of this silhouette stamp set I used Memento Black ink. The greeting is from the Easter Lilies bundle. I am looking forward to using a variety of different ink colors to create more with the Delicate Forest. Happy Stamping!
