Tune In to Retro Fun

Posted on by

Today’s cards use the Tune In stamp set (163633) and have a fun retro feel to them.

This stamp set has some fun all occasions sentiments and has a coordinating set of dies that includes some fun additional decorative options too.

This first card uses simple stamping and our fun new In Color, Petunia Pop that has been teamed up with Granny Apple Green for a cheerful card.

The little 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots (163389) add a pop of circular matt color and texture to the card too.

The next card uses the Tune In Dies (163637) to step up this card along with a fun Z fold.

Stamping done with the fun little images in Poppy Parade, Old Olive, Crushed Curry, Gorgeous Grape, and Coastal Cabana create a back drop and are used again for the screen pieces cut with the dies. And the Adhesive Backed Metallic Gems (163780) add a pop of shine to the TV dials, yes those that we used to get up and turn when we wanted to change a channel. LOL

Country Birdhouse

Posted on by

I always enjoy this time of year with the birds gathering their supplies to build their nests. From the Swallows that return each year that swoop up dirt and water from around the yard to the Bluebirds that use the houses on the field posts that my son built years ago. The flurry of activity is always fun to watch. So today’s cards remind me of that spring cycle.

The Country Birdhouse Bundle (163401) is part of the Country Woods Suite of Products (163418) of products and contains all kinds of fun options to craft with.

This first card uses simple stamping to create the backdrop for this little blue bird. While the Dies were used to cut out the bird to create depth and the lovely flowers add some wonderful texture.

This next card also uses the new In Color, Peach Pie to create a fun panel card using the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) to add interest and shows off 2 of the paper’s patterns.

The House has been cut using the Purple Posy pattern from the pack and the bird has been colored using a third In Color, Summer Splash. You can also see the Shy Shamrock that has been used for the leaves. Making it 4 of the 5 New In Colors for 2024. Fun right? And of course the 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots (163389) add a pop of color and texture along with the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475).

This last card uses the Country Woods Designer Series Paper (163393) and embellishment, Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls (163416) from the Suite to create a birdhouse with lots of texture. The Country Woods Designer Series Paper (163393) is wonderful with its wood images done in multiple varieties of wood and colors. You’ll want to be sure to check it out for all kinds of crafting projects.

The Country Birdhouse Bundle (163401) is a lot of fun and can create wonderful scenes for our bird loving family and friends. Why not stop by my Online store and check out the complete Suite? Or team up the Country Birdhouse Bundle (163401) with your favorite new products?

Petunia Pop’s Unbounded Love

Posted on by

Have you seen the NEW 2024-2026 In Colors? Petunia Pop is one of our new colors, and as always shades of purple are extremely popular. This color is sure to please with it’s bright cheerful hue.

This card has a ton of texture since it uses products from the Unbounded Beauty Suite of Products (163390). The card’s background Basic White layer is dry embossed with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (163414), the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) has four great patterns that are all shown here along with the wonderfully elegant 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper (163771).

A bit more texture is added with a detailed die cut image from the Flowers of Beauty Dies (163375) and sentiment that has been cut out with the Unbounded Love Dies (163383) and popped up with our Stampin’ Dimensionals. While the layout is fairly simple the combination is quite striking.

Today’s card is another Monochromatic card and the 2024-2026 In Color Collection makes this a simple thing to do since we have assortment card stock packs, Designer Series Paper Stack, and Ink and Marker Bundles too!

Here’s My 2024 Annual Catalog Basic Organizational Items

Posted on by

Today I’ve got some wonderful items to help make organizing your craft space easier for you while you’re waiting for those fun new colors and products to arrive. These are items I’ve been using for years and find them really helpful when I’m crafting.

Be sure to add some of our Standard Stamp Cases so that you’re ready to organize your Dies too. I’ll be sharing those PDFs tomorrow.

I’ve done this with each NEW Annual Catalog launch for years (you can find past items by looking under the organization category) and I hope you’ll find them useful too.

First, I’ve created a quick reference for the Designer Series Paper. I like this chart and keep it handy when I’m looking for the colors in the Designer Series Paper. Everything you need is on this one easy chart.

Want a quick way to know what colors you have on the go? I love this purse sized inventory list for keeping my items handy, so I’m sharing it with you. It’s got all of our color families even the two In Color Families. Simply print, score, then fold to create a tri-fold reference chart that you can tuck in your purse. And if you’d like a visual of the color, add a small circle of the card stock for those that you have like I did here with a half inch circle punch above the name. Here is a photo of last years so you can see what I mean with the circles.

2024 Color Collection Tri-Fold Inventory Chart PDF

Tip: Make sure when you are printing this chart to turn the second side so that it prints upside down. That way both sides will be in the same direction when using.

Labels, Labels, Labels – I love labels and these make things so easy. I like to have everything consistent so with the NEW 2024 Annual Catalog. I have created new labels for my hanging file folders, Refill drawers, daubers, and the bottoms of my Classic Ink Pads.

OnStage Swaps – Heartfelt Hexagon

Posted on by

today’s cards all use the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set (162882) and it’s coordinating punch the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch (162888).

This first card uses our retiring 2022-2024 In Colors and simple stamping to create a lovely birthday card.

And the bit of Linen Thread (104199) tied in a bow adds a nice little bit of texture. This next card uses the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (Retiring 161640) to set the tone.

The Starry Sky 1/8″ Metallic Woven Ribbon (Retiring 159198) and Tinsel Gems Three Pack (161624) add a bit of shimmer to the sentiment punched out with the Lasting Label Punch (Retiring 158651) for a little different look.

These next three cards use the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder (162935) to create a subtle background for the sentiments. This first card is done in Sweet Sorbet and uses a strip of Gold Foil Sheets (132622).

While this next card teams the gold foil up with Very Vanilla and the Gold & Vanilla 3/8″ Satin Edged Ribbon (Retiring 159555) for a very elegant look.

And finally a monochromatic card done in Azure Afternoon and Starry Sky

A bit of the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack (Retiring 161635) adds a pot of texture and shimmer with it’s stitched edge.

And on a fun note – I received my package from the Product Purchase Premiere from #OnStage Houston and am sharing my sneak peek video with you today.

More #OnStage fun and swaps

Posted on by

Today I’m sharing some of my swaps from #OnStage Houston using the Pets & More (Online Exclusive 163607) a set filled with fun animal images.

This set is a reversable set that allows you to use the both the back side and the detailed front side too. Check out these lovely cards using the set.

This first card teams up the set with the Doggone Friendly Stamp (162729) using it as a backdrop highlighting this pooch.

The sentiment comes from the Sweetly Scripted Stamp set (Online Exclusive 163600). A few of our Adhesive Backed Solid Gems (Retiring 161300) add a bit of texture . And next we have this fun little card with a cut out

that was created with the Modern Oval Punch (162234). The pup has been stamped in Pecan Pie Classic Ink and uses the stamp off method to create different shades. A bit of Linen Thread (104199) as been used to create some interest along with the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (Retiring 161640).

And for the last card today here is a bright and cheerful card using a little Basic Rhinestones Jewels (144220) to add some bling to the colar.

After all Rhinestones make everything sparkle!

I think if you are a animal lover, you’ll love this set with it’s choices. And as someone who has just added 2 babies to our family I know it is a hit here in our house! Here is a picture of our pups Kona and Hana after their first official grooming at 6 months. The little one, Hana didn’t leave Kona’s bows alone long. lol

OnStage Houston was a lot of fun, yesterday I shared what we did the first day of the event, so today I thought I’d share a bit more. Of course the there was a lot of excitement as we got a copy of the 2024 Annual Catalog and our first peek inside the covers!

Swaps and swap boards are always a highlight of any Stampin’ Up! event.

And there were a lot of boards to get inspiration from

At lunch we got to play with some of our new products that are part of the quick & easy options from the new 2024 Annual catalog. A great new stamp sentiment set, Simply Said (163756) and our new Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes (163753), Labels & Layers (163764), and Fully Flowering Ephemera Packs (163762).

In addition we had an evening event to celebrate our achievements

and had a prize patrol for all attendees. The evening also

included some treats and a fun party afterwards – here was a view from our room. My husband was wondering what in the world was going on with all those flashing lights!

It was a full day to be sure with a lot of sharing, learning, and fun!
