Beauty of Friendship

Today’s cards continue the nature theme this week. This stamp set is part of another fun Suite of products call the Beauty of the Earth. Filled with natures images and colors it is a wonderful option for creating year round cards and masculine cards.

This Suite of products has it all – stamps, dies, a 3D Embossing Folder and Designer Series Paper! Who can resist that for hours of creating?

Check out these lovely cards using the Beauty of Friendship Bundle and other items from the Suite. This first card has a ton of texture, both in look and feel since it uses both the Bark 3D embossing folder and the Designer Series Paper.

And how about some simple 2 step stamping using Pear Pizzazz and Evening Evergreen Classic Inks?

A bit of sparkle and shine was added with the Gold 3/8″ Fine Art Ribbon (154561). The Tailored Tag Punch (145667) makes this sentiment quick and easy too. Punch a second tag shape, cut it in half and layer the sentiment for another pop of color. And how about this cute idea? Use the shape to create grass and our Loose Flower Flourishes (155808) add a pop of color and flowers to the grassy area. These flowers come in 3 colors and 2 different sizes giving your lots of flower fun!

This next card has wonderful rich colors and perfect for the men in our lives since it uses the rich Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim (152472).

And finally this card is wrapped up in a Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon (153658)

whew! Love the variety this Suite gives us. I think the Beauty of Friendship is a wonderful option for our crafting needs. What do you think?

Quiet Meadow

The name and images of the Quiet Meadow Bundle makes me think of my childhood and walking through the fields and meadows around my childhood home. Flowers of all kinds, milkweed pods and even Monarch Butterflies came and went through the seasons. My father wanted to have a tree farm and so had bought a large piece of property out in the country with a creek that ran through it. Our home sat on the farthest corner of the property up on a hill, the only spot really out of the flood plain. But that creek made the area rich with black soil and the perfect place to plant his trees on the other side of the property. Unfortunately my father passed before realizing his dream, but those wonderful childhood memories remain.

The Quiet Meadow Bundle includes both images in detail and silhouette.

It also contains some heartfelt sentiments for you too. Check out these wonderful cards made with this set. These first two use our new In Colors and create a lovely monochromatic card using silhouette images.

The butterfly was cut out of our beautiful Pale Papaya, In Color Shimmer Vellum (155616). If you haven’t seen this Shimmer Vellum in person it is simply beautiful with it’s translucent shimmer. Speaking of which, this next card adds the Fresh Freesia Shimmer Vellum to create an over lay of the collage background on this next card.

And how about a fun fold? This next card uses the Hand Penned Designer Series Paper (155499) to create this soft and lovely floral card.

And this next card uses our Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (155807) and creates a shadow effect with the dies on this opening flap by cutting a second image out of our Evening Evergreen Card stock and just off setting the image a bit.

It contains a lovely little surprise when open with the Shimmer Vellum butterfly.

And last but not least here is a quick and easy 3d project, using the dies and a bit of sponging.

This sweet little note pad uses the inspiring sentiment from the Hand Penned Stamp set (155070) along with the coordinating Hand Penned Designer Series Paper (155499) to inspire the color choices.

So what do you think? Like all of the options that this bundle gives you? I think you’ll enjoy creating with the Quiet Meadow Bundle. And as you can see it looks great with our 2021 In Color Collection too!

Stamp Set: Quiet Meadow (*155082)

Plentiful Plants

Yesterday I shared with you a fun bundle called Welcoming Window and so today I thought I’d share another great set that’s all about plants, the Plentiful Plants Bundle (155688).

This bundle is all about the plants and has a wonderful collection of coordinating products that go with it. You can get them all in one easy to order Suite, Bloom Where You’re Planted making creating quick and simple. This first card uses the wonderful Paper Lattice (155697) to highlight the fun book end fold for this card.

I just love the bright pop of Melon Mambo to draw your attention to the sentiment. And this next card uses the Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper (155696) as a back drop for these lovely plants. The sentiment is pulled from another set and uses the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (152883) to highlight it along with the Genial Gems (155500). You’ll find yourself reaching for these gems over and over with their soft shades and sprinkle of gold.

And if you are wondering about the Baker’s Twine it’s from our Essential Pack (155475) which contains 4 colors for your crafting needs. And if you love the plant hanger why not check out our NEW Macrame 3D Embossing Folder (155435)? I’m probably dating myself, but when I think of hanging plants I think of macrame, lol. It’s great to see this option coming back again as I love to hang my house plants.

So what do you think? Have a favorite set? Is it yesterdays Welcoming Window or today’s Plentiful Plants? Or both?

How to Reserve yours?

You’ll need to email me ([email protected]) or call me (706 754-7124) to hold your spot ASAP, since there isn’t a lot of time before I need to place the order on August 3rd so you get yours as soon as possible after the catalog goes live.

EMAIL me directly at [email protected] with your information listed below to save your spot in the share: (Note: For multiple shares and/or swatch books – contact me for a shipping quote…a Flat Rate packaging can hold quite a bit).

Please include the following information in your email:

1.  Full Name

2.  Mailing Address (US only)

3.  Indicate how many Paper Shares and/or Design Tool & DSP Swatch Book sets you would like to reserve

4.  Email for PayPal invoicing

When your shares/swatch book order fills, I will email a PayPal invoice for payment process (around July 26th).  I will then place my order with Stampin’ Up! once payment is received for the shares/swatch book.

PayPal is easy — and a PayPal account is not required to make your payment.  Just an email address and credit/debit card.  When you receive your PayPal invoice by email, you can choose to pay using your PayPal funds or by a credit/debit card.  Simply follow their instructions to make your payment via the method that is most convenient for you. It should be simple!

And of course, if you live locally – just let me know if you prefer to pick up your items rather than pay for the shipping and I’ll invoice you accordingly.

NOTE:  The first share/swatch books if placed on August 3rd can be expected in about 2 weeks after I place the order. Here is how my paper shares/swatch books work… first I save your spot and collect your payment, then I place the order, receive the order, cut and package the paper, package up your swatch book/share for mailing and then take them to the Post Office to ship.

I’ll do my best to fill these orders as quickly as possible. I’ll be placing my order first thing on August 3rd. However, if there are back orders, orders will ship when everything has been received.

What’s Cookin’ this summer?

I don’t know about you but the last couple of weeks I’ve been busy in the kitchen putting up those fresh garden vegetables and trying new recipes with them too. Some have been a hit and some not so much, but that is the way it goes right? For those of you who love being in the kitchen creating great dishes we’ve got a great new bundle for you.

Check out these fun cards using this bundle of products the choices are endless! I love the bold background for this first card. Do you recognize it? It’s the Macramé 3D Embossing Folder (155435) creating all that texture.

And how about the classic apron? I remember so well spending time with my Grandmother who always had an apron handy for me. After she was gone I wore those aprons for years as I worked by myself baking, a fond remembrance of my youth and those times we spent together. This apron was created by using the Basic Borders Die (155558) simply by starting with the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (Host 155426) and cutting one side with the die and then the other.

The apron trim is also one of the dies that you’ll find in the set along with the table on this next card.

So what do you think? Know someone who would enjoy receiving a card made with this set and a the little reminder that happiness IS homemade? Why not stop by my online store and check out this wonderful bundle and other products for your crafting needs?

Not only does the Bamboo Beauty stamp set (155478) have great year round sentiments the images a quick and easy to work with too. Check out these lovely cards made using the set.

This first card is quick as easy when used with our new Soft Succulent Classic Ink (155778/155779) and teamed up with the 2021-2023 In Color Designer Series Paper stack (155641). And how about this next card?

The background has been first Spritzed (126185) with Pear Pizzazz and then images have been stamped using Just Jade, Pear Pizzazz and Gray Granite. A couple of Champagne Rhinestones add a bit of shine (151193) and the Baker’s Twine (155475) a bit of texture.

This next card teams up the Bamboo Beauty stamp set with the Watercolor Shapes stamp set (156968) to create this striking card.
