Whether you want the Suite or components it. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. Check out this lovely card made with the Lifetime of Love Bundle (162584).

The sentiment has been stamped in Moody Mauve over the Soft Sea Foam image to create depth. The Pretty Peacock and Moody Mauve card stock has been cut with the Lifetime of Love Dies (162583) and a bit of shimmer has been added to the flowers with our Clear Wink of Stella (141897).

Sale-a-bration’s Softly Sophisticated Bundle

Posted on by

If you love coordinating products you’ll love the Sale-a-bration option for the Softly Sophisticated Bundle which includes a lovely Embossing Folder.

Want to see some cards that use this fun bundle? This first card uses the lovely Pretty Peacock and it’s coordinating Pretty Peacock & gold 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon (162588) along with our Nested Essential Dies (161597).

This color combo is quite striking and the ribbon is gorgeous in person. The catalog just doesn’t do it justice. How about a card done in Bubble Bath and Wild Wheat?

This color combo can be found in our Poetic Expressions Designer Series Paper (162814). The little Happy Labels Pick a Punch (160693) has been used to add a soft edge to the sentiment layer.

And the final card today once again uses the Bubble Bath with another of our In Colors Moody Mauve.

A bit of sponging around the outside edge of the focal point and some embellishments adds a bit of texture.

How do you get this lovely bundle for FREE? During Sale-a-bration when you place a qualifying order you’ll get to choose a product of your choice and you can earn as many as you’d like before the end of February. How great is that?

Got questions? Drop me an email ([email protected]) and I’ll be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Quiet Reflection

Posted on by

Do you like simple stamping? Or stepping your project up with a quick and simple technique? The Quiet Reflection stamp set (162689) gives you all of these options, plus it has some great sentiments too!

This first card uses a simple technique of stamping, crumpling the paper and adding some sponging to the crinkles.

Two Classic Inks were used to ink up the image, Pean Pie and a bit of Mossy Meadow on the top image which gives it a cool effect. The sentiment was stamped in Mossy Meadow and the Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon (161634) adds a bit more texture to the project.

This next project uses the same two color ink technique for the image but this time it is Mossy Meadow and Pretty Peacock.

The card has been stepped up with our dies the Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) which have been used to cut out the image. Texture has been added with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) to the Lost Lagoon layer and a few of the Pretty Peacock sequins from the Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio Pack (161206). And this last card uses a fun technique too.

The image was stamped in our Pebbled Path, if you haven’t added this color to your ink collection you’ll want to since it is a lovely warm gray. Then some color was added to the stamped panel in Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel with our Blending Brushes (153611). Add a bit of Linen Thread (104199) as your horizon. Finally our Christmas Pinecones Dies (1569309) were used in a non traditional manner to emboss the Pebbled Path card stock layer. Simply turn the dies over so that it doesn’t cut your card stock and run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss. It will emboss your card stock this way rather than cut the pinecones out. A great way to add texture and a fun technique that packs a wow factor.

So what do you think? Can you see yourself creating with this lovely little stamp set? You can find this set along with our other NEW products from the January – April Mini in my Online store.

More Inked & Tiled

Posted on by

The Inked Botanicals Suite Collection (161172) is a lot of fun to work with and with it packaged in a coordinating Suite Stampin’ Up! has given us a one stop shopping experience too.

So today’s cards all use the products from this Suite. This first card is simple stamping –

The card has been stamped using Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and Lost Lagoon Classic Inks that have been stamped off first before stamping onto the card front to create a softer color. The sentiment has been stamped onto a strip of Very Vanilla card stock and then punched out using the Tiled Punch Pack (161167) and then layered over a bit of the Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon (161171). You’ll love this ribbon it ties nicely and is soft.

This next card uses a fun fold and the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (161157).

While this card shows off 3 of the patterns it also uses the fun Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio Pack (161206) that add a bit of shine to the punched pieces.

And next a card that uses the fun Twisted Ribbon Technique.

If you love the colors in this pack of Designer Series Paper

you’ll enjoy using it with other products like this card does.

The Wanted to Say Dies (161594) were used to create this lovely card stepped up with our Stampin’ Cut & Emboss. Not only does it use dies, but some texture has been added with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins (161627). When using these kind of dies our Adhesive Sheets (152334) make it a breeze to create layers like this.

If you haven’t seen this suite before why not stop by my Online Store and check it out?

Bee My Valentine Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Yesterday was a crazy kind of day and so I didn’t get to share with you my weekly tutorial, but with the rain coming in again this afternoon it is a great time to spend a little time crafting! So here you go.

Today’s card uses the Bee Mine Suite and is quick and easy to create since it uses punches. The adorable Bee Builder Punch (162553) makes creating this fun little bee quick and easy and the 2″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 133782) will make your stamping so easy too. I love sentiments that are punched out like this since they make everyone successful. I know as a beginner stampers I loved punches since if I needed to stamp again I didn’t have to start all over again and could just do the one image or sentiment.

Here is a video tutorial for you

And of course a PDF that you can print that even contains the YouTube Link for easy reference!

Notes of Nature

Posted on by

Love nature? Looking for a suite of products that are interesting to work with? How about the Nature’s Sweetness Suite Collection (162645)?

This suite is filled with lots of fun things to create with. Check out this first card that uses a fun flap to close it.

Behind that flap and the lovely dies is the beautiful Nature’s Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper (162616) with it’s lovely foiling. And see those little cork circles? The Adhesive Backed Cork Rounds (162643) add a bit of texture and earthiness to the project. And if you love the 2023-2025 In Colors check out this next card.

The sentiment and images are heat embossed using our Basic Embossing Powders (155554) and the cool Gold 1/8″ Faux Leather Trim (162644) add a bit of shimmer

with it’s metallic finish. If you haven’t seen this trim in person it really is quite cool and the dies in this bundle give you a quick and easy way to weave through the paper like on this card.

If you haven’t seen this suite before why not stop by my Online Store today and check it out? During Sale-a-bration when you purchase this Suite you’ll be able to choose from our FREE Sale-a-bration products too!

More Detailed Dogwood

Posted on by

Here is North Georgia spring is always heralded in with our Dogwood trees that dot the landscapes and woods. They never fail to impress either and so I expect that if you love them too you’ll enjoy creating with the Detailed Dogwood (Sale-a-bration 162953).

Once again this stamp set is an image only set so that you can team it up with your favorite sentiment as you create. Here are a couple of cards that use this lovely set. This first card uses the soft Bubble Bath and have teamed it up with Lemon Lime Twist. The Watercolor Painted was used to color the images to create a quick and easy wash of color.

And if you don’t recognize the sentiment it is from our Quiet Reflection (162689) that you can find in our January – April Mini Catalog. For a bolder look this next gift card holder uses the Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow, and the Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (162573) with it’s lovely foiling.

The background uses the Notes of Nature stamp set (163203) and the dogwoods have some Clear Wink of Stella (141897) to add a bit of shimmer. Sponging and a bit of wash gives the card a softer feel. Open it and you have a spot for a gift card

Don’t you love how color impacts our creations? Something as simple as a color choice makes a project feel so different even when you use the same stamp sets allowing you to make it your own.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some cards using the Notes of Nature stamp set with you.
