Have you seen the Bouquet Blooms Bundle? I usually take advantage of the bundles for the 10% Off as well as the ease of coordination. I also enjoy using the Big Shot, which is one of my favorite tools. Mostly because it can do so much. Whenever there are Big Shot accessories involved, I’m all in.
The video below showcases one of our new bundles and a pretty cute idea for a card. Take a look at the Bouquet Blooms bundle and all that you can do with these products. You can bet I will be using that flower die to add flowers to many of my projects.
Can you just think of so many people to create these little note cards for? The bundle makes it so easy to coordinate your projects. There are a variety of bundle options in my online store.
Let me know if you have any questions about our bundles or how to use them.
Specialty Papers are always popular and I do have a rising favorite in the new Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut. Also, it’s perfect for creating beautiful and elegant projects. While it’s only one of the Specialty Papers, it can also be a beautiful accent to that special card. Take a look at this card I created using the new paper as well as a variety of other new products from the annual catalog. Simple and Elegant.
This card was also created using the Love What You Do stamp set and one of our brand new colors – Grapefruit Grove. I really love this shade of orange and am so glad we have an additional option. It’s soothing and so natural. As with many new products, I bring you this lovely card to showcase these new products. A perfect example of how you can use just a portion of the Specialty paper. Simply add the paper alongside the edges leaving the bottom right for the sentiment. It makes a statement. Keeping the colors to just the Grapefruit Grove and white help with the simplicity.
Specialty Papers
Remember, this is only one of our new Specialty Papers. The new catalog is chock full of many great new papers to choose from for your crafting journey. Sometimes the new catalog can be a lot to take in and I’m happy to share some inspiration. Furthermore, it gives me the opportunity to play with the new products as well. In addition to the new papers, you get to explore the new colors in the form of our color revamp. I love that Stampin’ Up! keeps our colors fresh and trendy. I hope you have enjoyed the inspiration today. I know I enjoyed creating it. Give the paper a try and see how you enjoy working with it. Here are the products use to create this card:
Do you feel like it’s too difficult to learn calligraphy? Stampin’ Up! may have the answer. Each year they take great care in creating their project kits throughout the year. Today I would like to introduce you to the Calligraphy Essentials Project Kit. It has such soft colors and designs. I have to admit, I love calligraphy so I was so excited when I saw this particular kit in the new annual catalog. There is a coordinating stamp set, but more on that later.
Learn Calligraphy
Each kit is always unique and this one is no different. Create beautiful hand-lettered cards while you learn calligraphy. The kit makes 16 cards, 4 each of 4 designs. It includes printed card bases and printed envelopes (which is my favorite thing about the kits). You get 8 sheets of labels, calligraphy practice sheets and adhesive-backed sequins. Everything you need tucked all in one package. The colors coordinate with some of your favorites and even some new colors – Coastal Cabana, Grapefruit Grove, Lovely Lipstick, Pear Pizzazz. In addition to the Essentials Kit, you can purchase the Calligraphy Essentials Clear-Mount Stamp Set (seen above) that coordinates with the kit. Also, together they make the complete Calligraphy Essentials collection.
If you are like me, you want to see it in action. Well I can help with that too. Take a look at the video Stampin’ Up! put together which let’s you see the kit up close. In addition, you can follow Shannon as she uses the products and helps guide you on how to use them.
When you are done practicing with the kit, you will be able to create beautiful calligraphy of your own. Finally, you can be proud when you finish all the practices sheets. Maybe even feel like a calligraphy expert. LOL
The Graceful Glass Suite is just one of the new suites in the 2018-2019 annual catalog. The suite is featured on pages 164 and 165 of the new annual catalog. As with any suite, you have a bunch of products that make up the complete suite. Included is a stamp set, the stained glass framelit dies, the Graceful Glass Designer Vellum which I might add is perfect for coloring with your Stampin’ Blends, However, you can use other coloring options as well. You also get Tinted Faceted Buttons and some black cord.
Graceful Glass: All That’s Included
Below is a video from Stampin’ Up! that puts all the products from this suite in front of you. There are even some card samples and coloring techniques you can use when creating projects with this suite.
I hope you have been inspired and will enjoy this suite as much as I do and I look forward to sharing projects and cards with you created using this suite. The beginning of the Stampin’ Up! year is always an exciting one.
Designs are always fun to check out when the new catalog is released. Do you love new designs? Each year I spend a little time looking through all the new Designer Series Papers. They always coordinate with new colors and stamp sets so beautifully. I have to admit, DSP’s can be addicting. Do you find yourself hoarding Designer Series Paper? I always envision what I can create and then when I get the paper, it’s almost like I don’t want to part with it. Above is just one of the many new Designer Series Papers – Broadway Bound. Which is also the suite that My Paper Pumpkin coordinates with this month.
Beautiful Designs
Some of the papers have such unique designs. I do usually love the florals. Although there are a bunch of beautiful floral designs with Petal Promenade, Tranquil Textures is a very interesting pack. In addition, we have the Graceful Glass pack which is amazing when using the Stampin’ Blends. Let’s not forget the gorgeous designs in Share What You Love. Finally, the Wood Textures can make for some amazing masculine cards and projects. We all know how hard it is sometimes to create a masculine card. You can judge for yourself. Stampin’ Up! has created a video to give you a glimpse at all the new Designer Series Papers in the 2018-2019 annual catalog. You may have to watch it twice to take it all in.
I’m still not sure which is really my favorite because there are so many great new ones. However, I am sure that I will be trying out many of them. Of course, we also have all the cardstock available in all of our core colors. You can also see all the cardstock and papers together in my store and see what works for you.
I have some great Swap Samples from our group meeting in May. We had a team swap for the Luv2 Stampin GA group meeting. I hope you enjoy some of the swaps as we really had a great time and love to exchange our swap samples. We used a variety of products on the samples and had a lot of fun with them.
There are a lot of flowers and I think they make for some beautiful Spring cards. You will also find a handful of special occasion cards listed. I am always happy to have a good selection on cards in a swap.
I hope you enjoyed the array of beautiful cards. The ideas and inspiration in my group is truly remarkable. Our projects really come to live with the vibrant colors and products. The samples were very motivational and uplifting.
