The animal fun continues today, and I’m going to start with the fun Zany Zebras stamp set (Retiring152536). This set is filled with these adorable zebra images and fun all occasions sentiments.
And this next card uses the fun Zoo Globe (Retiring 153303).
Finally this next card uses the Special Somebody stamp set (retiring 151643) and Special Day Dies (retiring 153587) that are 75% off! And yes that is the same pack of 2020-2022 In Color Paper peaking out behind the little masked bandit. The patterns found in this pack of Designer Series Paper are some of my favorites.
All these products are part of our Retirement List, so you’ll want to get it soon since it is only available while supplies last or until May 3rd.

Did I say darling? Yes! This stamp set is just too cut and I couldn’t wait to ink it up and put it to paper when I first saw it.
Today’s card was one that I cased from the Sale-a-bration brochure. Do you ever do that? I love the fact that our catalogs have such great ideas that we can copy and share! I used this cute little card for my Team OnStage After Party last November, so today I thought I’d share it with you so you can make some too.
I’ve whipped up a quick tutorial with a complete supply list and video too! Why not check it out?
Whew! What did I tell you too darling right? If you love this card you can order the supplies I’ve used and earn the stamp set for FREE! That’s right, free.

Sunflowers. Ahh, how they bring back memories. As a child my mother would plant sunflowers in her garden and though out the growing season I would stand next to them to mark their growth. They quickly towered over me and I was always amazed by at just how tall they would get. My mother even took a picture of me wearing my favorite yellow rain jacket and hat next to them one summer when I was about 3. When they were done for the season, we dried them so that we could let the birds eat the seeds during the long winter months in Wisconsin. I guess the fact that I was 3 might be one of the reasons they seem so tall! LOL! But when I saw this set it made me think of that picture from so long ago.
So today I thought I’d share some cards using our new 2020 In Colors made with this stamp set and it’s coordinating dies. These first two cards use the Flowers for Every Season Designer Series Paper (145286) to add to the design.
Done in Just Jade and Bumblebee. And this next one uses our Misty Moonlight and Magenta Madness to make the sunflower pop!
The tag was done using our new Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (152883). And if you need a quick card check out this next one using the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (146912) and Blends to color the center.
And last but not least a fun technique card.
First the images were stamped in Bleach, the leaves cut out, and then the card was assembled. This simple technique is quite striking and I love how the beach works differently with each color card stock. The In Color Designer Series Paper was used for the pop of Magenta Madness on the dies. and of course those fun little In Color Enamel Dots. I just love them with their glossy shine.
So which one is your favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what you think?
Just a bit of Stampin’ Up! news:
IMPORTANT Stampin’ Up! is launching our new websites on August 4th. The links taking your directly to the product in my Online Store may not work as normal. They may simply work by taking you to my store but not to the product itself. If you have any issues placing an order with me please let me know. I’m happy to help.
Please remember these two very important things: When placing an order in the Online store: Please confirm you are shopping with me and that my name is listed as your Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator (The new system will allow you to check out as a guest and bypass choosing a demonstrator. If that is the case I won’t get your order information and I won’t be able to mail catalogs, gifts, etc.). My name is listed as Jini Merck and I live in Clarkesville, Georgia.
Since this is a NEW website, your bookmark and auto fill passwords may not work.
If that is the case you’ll want to create a new bookmark and sign in that way, saving it again to your password safe if you use one. Also, because of this your password may not work. If that happens you will need to reset it. Because it is a new website and we are using a new email system for it, when you go to reset your password, the link emailed to you may go in your spam folder. So you’ll want to check that if you don’t see it right shortly after you request it.
Please know that I’m here to help in any way as always. There may be a few bugs to start with in the new Online Store, so if you prefer for me to place your order for you I can. We can get through this together as always.
Thanks and as always I appreciate you choosing me as your Demonstrator!
Cinnamon Cider is a warm rich color and it is number four of the five 2020-2021 In Colors that I’ve been highlight this week. I love the surprise of the In Color Collections when they are announced each year and they make great additions to our color families since they are right on trend. I’m not sure why I’m always surprised when I find them in the stores while shopping for home products and clothing. My daughter always rolls her eyes when I identify the color by name. Is that what you do when you see something displayed in the stores think of it by the Stampin’ Up! color name? Anyhow…Want to see some cards?
I’ll start with a couple of cards that have been made using our World of Good Suite of Products found on page 24 of the 2020 Annual Catalog. This is a very popular suite perfect for stamping and even scrap booking since it covers all kind of events with it’s sentiments and images. And while we aren’t traveling a great deal right now, this Suite gives us a great way to catch up on past travels with the World of Good Memories and More Card Pack.

A little texture has been added with the Tasteful Textures 3D Embossing Folder (152718) and In Color Designer Series Paper. I think would make a great masculine card. What do you think?
This next card also uses the Tasteful Touches Bundle but it’s been teamed up with our Whisper White card stock this time.

They are wonderful used together or by themselves like today’s cards. So why not join me over the next 4 days for a look at our new colors?
The new In Color Just Jade is soft and rich and has the feel of a jade stone. Did you know that jade symbolizes purity to some and harmony and balance to others? This green definitely gives me a feeling of calm when I work with it.
And how about some flowers? The Fancy Phrases Stamp set (152530) creates some interested for this card and highlights the flower images in two different ways.
One of my favorite things about the In Color Collections are the accessories that coordinate with the colors. Stampin’ Up! gives us a wonderful feeling 1/4″ Ribbon (153621) and fun Enamel Dots (152480) in the colors along with a stack of Designer Series Paper (153070) too! Color coordination is one of the best parts of using Stampin’ Up! products!
The greenery is from our Christmas Layers Dies (150654) and it’s been layered on our coordinating Designer Series Paper and wrapped up with the yummy 1/4″ ribbon. Like I mentioned earlier, Stampin’ Up! products coordinate so well with each other – you can use the all year round. This gives us a new way to use this Christmas Die set, right?
What do you think about the new In Color, Just Jade? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?
I love flowers during the summer. It brings me back to my childhood and walking through my Aunt Adeline’s yard which had what seemed like acres of flower beds and my Grandma’s front flower bed. Both of them loved flowers and their flower beds were so carefully manicured. While toiling in flower beds isn’t my cup of tea, I do enjoy the pop of color they bring to my yard and since it also brings the hummingbirds I always try and put some baskets and pots around my patio and porches. A more limited approach I know, but a much better for my allergies since although my mother tried for years I just don’t have a green thumb, that was passed on to my son.
So today’s cards reminds me of those wonderful ladies who have been gone along time now but are never far from my thoughts when I enjoy a wonderful splash of color from a flower bed.
And this next one teams up the In Color Designer Series Paper (153070) with Gorgeous Grape flowers. It uses the simple paper piecing technique. Do do this you’ll simply stamp the image onto your Designer Series Paper, this time they used the wood pattern from the In Color stack and fussy cut with your paper snips. So simple, but a great technique to use on your projects.
Isn’t it fun the way the flowers on the card front give a border that highlights the pattern on the inside of the card?
This next card uses the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder (152718) to add a bit of texture.
The flowers were colored in with out new 2020-2022 In Color Stampin’ Blends. Who doesn’t love the addition of these new colors to our Stampin’ Blends option?
And finally some soft subtle cards. Done in Highland Heather and Petal Pink this first card also uses the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder to add some texture along with the Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon (153658)
And this final card uses a combination of Seaside Spray, Misty Moonlight, and Sahara Sand
