Peony Garden Suite

The new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up! is now “live” and available for product ordering. There are many beautiful new stamp sets, stamp bundles, embellishments and tools available.  Plus, the five new In Colors! It’s difficult to decide which items to focus on first.  In a couple of my recent posts, I have been able to share a few of the products from my preorder.  Today, I am sharing a Stampin’ Up! video that showcases the new Peony Garden Suite. This suite was the first to catch my eye when I was able to preview the catalog.  It was not available for preorder so it was placed at the top of my wish list.  Once catalog ordering became available on Wednesday, I placed my order with the Peony Garden Suite the first item entered.  Like a kid at the holidays, I’m anxiously awaiting delivery! 

Check out this beautiful suite of products below…

Isn’t this a beautiful product suite?  I can’t decide which is my favorite – the Prized Peony Bundle, the Peony Garden Designer Series Paper or the Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder!  Under Project Materials is the link for the full suite and links for each individual product in the suite.  

Fingers Crossed: My order is due for delivery on Monday, so stay tuned.  Later next week, I will be featuring products from the Peony Garden Suite.

Check back on Monday as I’ll be sharing a project featuring other new products.  Thanks for stopping by today and have a great weekend.

Tasteful Touches

Each week the Playtime with Paper team holds a design challenge.  For this past week, a Color Challenge using Flirty Flamingo, Shaded Spruce and Coastal Cabana was selected.  I chose the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.  This is a new stamp set available for purchase starting today. (WOOHOO!) The stamp set is part of the In Good Taste Suite that includes other coordinating products. Notice the touches of gold foil leaves? They are another new product so read card details to learn where you can find them.

Tasteful Touches

Card Details:
  • Create a card base using Coastal Cabana cardstock (5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score in center at 4-1/4″ and fold).
  • On a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the sentiment in the upper right corner using Coastal Cabana Classic Stampin’ Pad.  Next using the leaves stamp and Shaded Spruce Classic Stampin’ Pad, stamp the leaves .  NOTE: ink stamp once and stamp 3 times before inking stamp again.  Attach to the card base.
  • Cut a 4″ x 1-1/2″ piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock and texture emboss using the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Add to lower front of the card.
  • Stamp the flower onto a 3″ x 3″ piece of Whisper White cardstock using Flirty Flamingo Classic Stampin’ Pad.  Fussy cut with paper snips.  Color the flower with the Light Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blend Marker. 
  • Attach gold leaves from the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper to the back of the flower.  Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the flower to the card front overlapping the Shaded Spruce layer.
  • Complete by embellishing with the gold Metallic Pearls.

The 2020-2021 Annual Catalog is now available for you to order from.  The catalog is online via the Catalog tab or email me if you would like a print copy.

Blossoms In Bloom

At the recent Luv 2 Stampin GA group meeting, we held a card swap to share card ideas with one another.  For my creation, the goal became combining new product with retiring products. For the new product, I choose the new Blossoms in Bloom Bundle. The Blossoms In Bloom Stamp Set and coordinating Many Layered Blossoms Dies offer versatility for creating beautiful floral themed cards.  Mark your calendar, you can order this set on June 3, 2020.  For the card below, I stamped the blossoms stamp and die cut an overlay from the retiring Woven Threads Designer Series Paper.  I love the look the designer series paper gives to the flowers.  Details for you to recreate the card are below.

Blossoms In Bloom Card Details:
  • Create card base by cutting a piece of Rococo Rose cardstock 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, then score at 4-1/4″ and fold.
  • With the Many Layered Blossoms Dies, cut the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper (6″ x 6″ piece) to create overlay. Check out the discounted price under Project Materials below!
  • Cut Whisper White cardstock layer – 5-1/4″ x 4″.  Use the cut blossoms layer as your guide to determine where to stamp the flower centers.  
  • Using the large blossoms stamp from the Blossoms In Bloom Set, stamp onto the Whisper White cardstock with Seaside Spray Classic Stampin’ Pad.  Attach to the Rococo Rose card base using adhesive.
  • Add the blossoms overlay to the stamped blooms using Stampin’ Dimensionals.  
  • On a scrap piece of Whisper White (approximately 1/2″ x 2-1/2″), stamp the sentiment using Rococo Rose Classic Stampin’ Pad.  This sentiment comes from the Colorful Seasons Stamp Set.  After stamping, cut a “v shape” to create a pennant end.  Add to the card using Mini Glue Dots.
  • Finish the card by tying a knotted bow using the Rococo Rose Scalloped Ribbon and attach beside the sentiment with glue dots.

The Blossoms In Bloom Bundle will offer you lots of creative options.  Be sure to order it on June 3 and have fun using Designer Series Papers to create different layering pieces.

Forever Greenery “Sneak Peek”

My product preorder recently arrived and I’m loving the new products.  So I thought I would give you a sneak peak at one of my favorites, the Forever Greenery Suite.  Today’s card uses several products from the Forever Greenery Suite – the Forever Fern Bundle and the gorgeous Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper.  The catalog photos of the designer series paper are nice but just wait until you actually see the paper.  The colors are deep and vibrant so you’ll be able to create a variety of beautiful “wow” projects.  The card below is a simple card that highlights a couple prints from the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper.  

Forever Greenery

Card Details:
  • For base: use a 4-1/4″ x 11″ piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock, then score at 5-1/2″ and fold to create the base.
  • Select coordinating prints from the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper (DSP).  Cut the first layer of DSP to 5″ x 3-3/4″ and attach to the card base front.  Cut the second layer of DSP to 4-1/2″ x 3-1/4″.  Adhere to the first layer of DSP on the card front.
  • Using the Forever Fern Stamp Set, stamp the berry stem onto a scrap of Whisper White cardstock using Pretty Peacock Classic Ink Pad.  Stamp the two sets of medium leaves using Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink Pad onto Whisper White cardstock.  Cut the shapes using the coordinating Forever Flourishing Dies. 
  • On a 2″ square of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the sentiment using the Pear Pizzazz Classic Ink Pad.  With the Stitched Shapes Dies, cut the stitched circle so that the sentiment is toward the right side of the circle (refer to card photo).
  • Add the leaves to the back of the sentiment circle using mini glue dots.  Then attach the berries by offsetting by the sentiment.  
  • Complete the card by adding the sentiment layer to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Per Stampin’ Up! regulations, demonstrators are not able to post photos from the upcoming Annual Catalog until June 3.  But once the catalog is released, I’ll be able to share videos with you that showcase the various bundles and other products.  You’ll find the list of products for this project under the Project Materials section below.  NOTE: the Forever Greenery products are not available for purchase until June 3, 2020.  Just be sure to add the Forever Greenery Suite to your wish list!
