Today I’m going to share some more about #OnStageRaleigh and some of the wonderful swaps I’ve received, so this will be another longer post. lol Today I’m going to start with the swaps, but you’ll want to read all the way to the end since I’ll be sharing the NEW 2025 In Colors with you too!

Since it is the first day of spring I thought I’d start with cards that make me think spring. So I’m going to start with the cards I received with the Storybook Moments Suite (164681) as I have a fun 3d tutorial using this product that I’ll be sharing with you tomorrow. This first card the Storybook Friends Dies (164674) and our Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) to create the fun frames that you see.

Simply add VersaMark Pad (102283/102193) to your card stock, sprinkle with the embossing powder and heat. Voila! shinny frames that have kind of a patina look The sentiment is from the Unbounded Love Stamp set (163378). This next card uses the fun pack of Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper (164662) and it’s die cut pieces to create this simple note card.

This next card uses the Spotlight on Nature Bundle (163581) one of my favorite since the dies are so versatile. It also uses the

This card uses just two colors Memento Tuxedo Black and Misty Moonlight making it quick and easy. The Elements of Text stamp set (Online Exclusive 164774) that has been used behind the sentiment and image gives it some texture along with the Tinsel Gems Three Pack (161624).

These next to card use the Memorable Blooms Bundle (164826) and their color choice give them such different feels. This first card has a soft feel

and this next card that uses our Unbound Beauty Designer Series Paper (163372) has a more bold feel with its Petunia Pop and Summer Splash colors.

And check out this fun card using the Happiest Day stamp set (163605) who can resist this bright cheerful colors?

And for my last card today that I’ll be sharing with you the Thankful Garden Bundle (Online Exclusive 165534).

Done in blues these flowers make me think of my Mother-in-Law who always had them in her yard. Do you see the Two Tone Sparkle Gems (Online Exclusive 164633)? This gems are just beautiful in person and add a lovely hint of color with their two tones.

Now on to a bit about #OnStage, our first full day included sharing and learning about the new 2025 Annual Catalog and Online Exclusives that are coming soon.

In the evening we had a choice to participate in OnStage After Hours and play with the new products! Who can resist that?

As we gathered with new and old friends at our tables we crafted! Here are the cards I made that evening using the upcoming May Online Exclusive, Impressions Abloom stamp set (Online Exclusive 165605).

And here is one using the Turtle-y Awesome stamp set (165223) that will be available in the NEW 2025 Annual Catalog and is part of a suite

that my table mate made. Same sketch with a twist. Isn’t he cute? Watch for more coming on this sketch in my tutorials soon.

And of course you’ll be wanting to see the NEW 2025 In Colors, right? They are a beautiful sets of colors that I think you’ll enjoy adding to your current color selection.

In the order on the photo they are Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, Cloud Cover, Strawberry Slush and Secret Sea. I’m thinking the Secret Sea is going to be a wonderful neutral to use in projects as it seems like it is almost black.

Stay tuned for color comparisons with our current colors as we get closer to the catalog launch.

Peach Pie & More

Posted on by

Today is the final day of my sharing monochromatic cards using the 5 In Colors for 2024. Each of these colors is earning a place in my heart with their clear, clean colors that have a subtle feel but are bold at the same time.

Check out these two cards using this fun color.

This first card uses blocks of our 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) to create a diamond shape for the sentiment found in the Unbounded Love Stamp set (163378). A little bit of Peach Pie 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163783) has been tied into a simple know and adds a nice touch below the sentiment. I think you’ll enjoy this soft ribbon that ties so well for projects like this.

And how about this card using the Cheerful Daisies stamp set (161290) and simple stamping?

Once again the Peach Pie 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163783) has been used to add a bit of texture and draw your eye to the sentiment. The fun little 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper (163771) are something you’ll definitely be wanting to add to your order. They add a lovely bit of shimmer to all kinds of projects and come in all 5 of our 2024-2026 In Colors!

And finally my weekly tutorial – this card uses the Peach Pie and Shy Shamrock to create this lovely card.

I’ve used the same Sketch that we used for our OnStage After Hours in Houston for this card and simply changed it up. You can click HERE or on the sketch to see more about that card and get the PDF to add to your collection!

Here is my Video Tutorial that I did for you showing you how I created this card using a simple water color technique using our Water Painters (126185).

And of course a PDF Tutorial that includes measurements, supply list and the YouTube link so you’re ready to create when you want to!

Summer Splash

Posted on by

Are you longing for the clean clear water of your favorite summertime beach? The Summer Splash reminds me of those wonderful ocean views from my stays at Mini’s Haven on the Panama City Coast. I was immediately drawn to this color when I saw it and knew it would be one that I would reach for over and over again.

Today’s cards all use the Summer Splash to create monochromatic cards, this first one uses simple stamping. The card uses the Of Art & Texture (Online Exclusive 162687) and the Sweetly Scripted Stamp set (Online Exclusive 163600) to create a lovely congratulations card.

And how about this thank you card? Stamped using the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set (163579).

The card uses our 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer Specialty Paper (163771) and 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) to add interest and of course the 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (163781) that were used on both of these cards are a must have with their beautiful iridescent shine.

How about a simple card with a lot of texture?

This card uses the Unbounded Love Bundle (163384) which is part of our Bundle Sale and the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder (163483) to create some wonderful geometric texture as a back drop. The soft Summer Splash 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163786) add a bit more texture to the card.

Next I’ve got a super simple fun fold card for you. What makes it a fun fold is the simple scoring. This card base is 11″ x 4 1/4″ and it’s scored at the 2″ and 7 1/2″ marks rather than the traditional 5 1/2″.

It’s been decorated with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (163414) and Basic Rhinestones Jewels (144220). The sentiment is from the Trust Tools Stamp Set (163274).

And the final card for the day uses the Wild Ferns Stamp set (162648)

Texture has been added to the background with a simple layered panel using the 2024-2026 In Color Designer Series Paper (163777) and then dry embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder (161600). I love the die that has been used to wrap around the sentiment panel that was created with the Wild Ferns Dies (162654).

So what do you think? What does this color make you think of? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what you think of when you see it? Then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing another of our wonderful 2024-2026 In Colors with you.

Say Thank You with Spotlight on Nature & More

Loving the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set (163579)? This set is filled with lovely images

and wonderful all occasion sentiments and I knew I’d enjoy creating with it as soon as I saw it and stamped with it at our OnStage After Hours event in Houston.

Today I’m sharing the 3rd card we did for our Make n Takes during that event.

This event was a lot of fun and was our first chance to play with the new 2024 In Colors. This card uses a fun way to add texture to your project, water color!

Can you see it? Beneath the stamped panel there is a layer that has been given a simple wash of Pecan Pie. So simple but makes a big impact. Check out my video and pdf tutorial and try it yourself!

As always I’ve included a full supply list, measurements, and step by step instructions. The PDF even has the video link so everything is handy and in one place for you when you’re ready to create.

Another OnStage After Hours Spotlight on Nature Card & More

Posted on by

Today I’m going to share another fun project that we got to do during the After Hours event in Houston for one of our Make n Takes.

This card uses a fun water color technique using our NEW color Basic Beige. Stamping the image using the Basic Beige allows the water coloring to look almost line free but still gives subtle detail. A pretty fun process I thought.

I’ve whipped up a video tutorial for you so you can make one too.

Spotlight on Nature OnStage After Hours Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Today’s card uses a favorite from the 2024 Annual Catalog, the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set (163579).

This set has some lovely images and all occasions sentiments and a versatile set of dies that coordinate with it.

We made this card during our After Hours event in Houston and Stampin’ Up! gave us a sketch that I’ve changed up a little bit and made my own for my Sketch Tool Ring I shared with you earlier. Make sure to scroll down since I’ll share it with you today too.

This will be the first of the 3 cards we made during the After Hours Event. But today here is the card we made using 2 of our NEW In Colors Summer Splash and Shy Shamrock. While they might look similar when apart, you can definitely tell the difference when layered together. I fell in love with the Summer Splash as soon as I saw it and wasn’t real sure about the Shy Shamrock, but am finding I really like using it in my stamping too.

Here is a quick video on how I put this make n take together for you along with the PDF with the supply list, measurements, and step by step instructions.

And of course here is my Card Sketch #27

And here is the PDF so you can make one too as a design tool too.

On a personal note:

You may have noticed I didn’t post every day this week. I had some unexpected appointments that took a lot of time, so I wasn’t able to share like I wanted to. I’ll be having a procedure done next week, and may not be sharing quite as much as I normally do, but I have some things set up that I think you’ll enjoy.

Of course, I’m happy to help and I will be available, but might not be able to respond as quickly as normal.

Enjoy!
