May 24, 2019 | 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Cards, Occasions Catalog 2019, Stampin' Up! |
A few weeks ago, I shared a Beauty Abounds card. Afterwards, I decided to create additional cards with the stamp set. Today’s Beauty Abounds Hello with it’s cheerful colors reminds me of summer. Mango Melody, Lemon Lime Twist and Highland Heather coordinate perfectly. I especially like that the background stamps from the set and my favorite are the “bubbles.” The card greeting from the Floral Frames stamp set is perfect to use on cards when you just want to send a note for no particular reason other than to say “hello.” Do you enjoy receiving handwritten notes? In this world full of electronic communication, I still like to occasionally receive handwritten notes and this Beauty Abounds Hello would be a lovely card to receive.
Card Details:
- Card base is Mango Melody cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ score and fold at 4-1/4″)
- Second layer is a 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock.
- Next, stamp the floral stem from the Beauty Abounds stamp set onto a 3-3/4″ x 5″ piece of Whisper White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Refer to photo of card for placement.
- Use Highland Heather to stamp the large bubbles two times across the floral stem.
- Stamp the small bubbles three times on the stem using Mango Melody Classic Stampin’ Ink Pad. NOTE: Stamp off onto a scrap of paper before stamping onto the card.
- Randomly stamp “splatters” using Lemon Lime Twist Classic Stampin’ Ink Pad.
- On a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the Hello from the Floral Frames Stamp Set. Cut using the 1-3/4″ Circle Punch. Layer onto a 2″ Circle of Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. Attach to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- With the Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, stamp a small and a large butterfly onto card. Color using Light Highland Heather and Light Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends.
- Use the Butterfly Beauty Dies to cut a small butterfly from Mango Melody cardstock to attach to sentiment piece. Embellish butterfly with a small Rhinestone Basic Jewel.
- Complete embellishing the sentiment with the green Gingham Gala Adhesive Backed Sequins.
Please take note that the Lemon Lime Twist color is retiring on June 3 and supplies of cardstock have been depleted. Granny Apple Green works with the other colors too. Additionally, the Floral Frames Stamp Set is retiring. Stamp set availability is guaranteed until May 24, with the last day to purchase as June 3 (or while supplies last.) Also note that after June 3, the item numbers for the non-retiring products may be changing so be sure to search the name in the new catalog.

May 22, 2019 | 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, Stampin' Blends |
One of the stamp sets in the upcoming 2019-2020 Annual Catalog is the New Wonders Distinktive Stamp Set. This stamp set is available for Hosts to purchase. When I saw the set in the catalog, I knew it was one to add to my collection. It has three fairies (at least, that’s what I’m calling them) and some great sentiments. The Distinktive Stamps add dimension and photo quality to the fairy images. Fortunately, I was able to pre-order the stamp set. You can order from the catalog starting on June 4. Since this set is exclusive for hosting a party, gather your friends and schedule an online stamp party with me. With qualifying sales, you can purchase the set plus earn Stampin’ Rewards to spend on other products.
Today, I have note card with a sneak peak of a couple of the stamps from the New Wonders set. Since I am trying to deplete my stash of retiring designer series paper, I am using the 6″ x 6″ Subtles Designer Series Paper pack. Since the Designer Series Paper pack is retiring, order it now while it’s still available. The note card’s base color is Soft Sea Foam. For the note card below, I am using the fairy with the ink pen and the “Just popping in to say…Hi” sentiments. The sentiments are actually two different stamps with the Hi as a separate stamp. The stamp set contains are other sentiments to complete the phrase. A variety of Stampin’ Blends colors bring the fairy to life!
Card Details:
- Attach a piece of 4-3/4″ x 3-1/4″ Soft Sea Foam Designer Series Paper to a Whisper White Note Card using Snail Adhesive.
- Use largest circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies to cut Soft Sea Foam Cardstock.
- Stamp fairy image onto a 3-1/4″ square of Whisper White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. The following Stamping Blends are used: Dress – Light & Dark Soft Sea Foam, Light & Dark Highland Heather; Hair – Light Soft Suede, Light & Dark Daffodil Delight; Face/Hands/Feet – Ivory; Ink Pen – Light & Dark Smoky Slate; Hearts – Light Real Red. Use the Stampin’ Blends Color Lifter to add highlights. Or select your favorite Stampin’ Blend colors!
- To highlight the wings on the fairy, color them with Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen.
- Cut using the Layering Circles Dies. After cutting, adhere to the Soft Seafoam stitched circle with adhesive.
- Adhere to front of card with adhesive.
- Stamp sentiments onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. Note: use the Stamparatus for ease in placement and stamping of the phrase. Cut the sentiment with the label die from the Perfect Parcel Dies (this is also in the 2019-2020 Catalog).
- Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the card.
- Color a strip of 1/8″ Whisper White Sheer Ribbon using the Dark Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. Let dry for a few minutes before tying into a bow. Attach bow to card using mini glue dots.
The full list of project materials is at the end of this post.
Note: The last day to order the 6″ x 6″ Subtles Designer Series Paper is June 3 or while supplies last so don’t delay. The New Wonders Distinktive Stamp Set and the Perfect Parcel Dies are available starting on June 4.

May 20, 2019 | 2018-2020 In-Colors, Cards, Floral, Punches |
This cheerful Pineapple Punch Daisy card is a recreation of the card from last year’s In-Color Club. With the 2018-2020 In-Color Designer Series Paper retiring soon, I am creating cards to use the last of my paper stash. I am excited for the release of new Designer Series Paper but still have my retiring favorites. It definitely screams summer and cheerfulness. Plus it highlights the various Pineapple Punch products. The Daisy Delight stamp set is used to stamp the top layer of daisy petals. It is embossed with Pineapple Punch Stampin’ Emboss Powder. The 2018-2020 In-Color Stampin’ Emboss Powder is retiring so you’ll want to place your order before it’s gone.
What you’ll love with the 6″ x 6″ In-Color Designer Series Paper is the various designs that you can mix and match. Since the colors coordinate, the stripes and polka dots blend. With the Designer Series Paper package, you’ll receive 40 sheets with 4 each of 2 double-sided designs. The five in-colors in the package are Pineapple Punch, Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Call Me Clover and Blueberry Bushel.
Instructions and project materials for you to recreate the cheerful Pineapple Punch Daisy card is in the Tutorial Section on my blog.
