Happy Stampin and 

Last weekend I had my first online bingo night and it was so much fun! It was so wonderful being able to craft with old and new friends.  I am very thankful for Zoom.  

Between playing bingo games, we made 4 cards using the Well Suited Suite from the 2021 Stampin' Up! January - June catalog.  This suite is perfect for masculine cards.  I know I always need masculine cards and I am pretty sure so does everyone else.  

On this card I used the Subtle embossing folder and the Tailored Tag punch. I also used the Balloon Bouquet punch, which has sold out,  that was on the Last Chance list.  

When I was on Facebook, I saw this card on the Stampin' Up! page.  It was created by a talented member of the Stampin' Up! Artisan team.  I fell in love with it and knew I wanted to make it.   I used one of the dies in the Suit and Tie dies and the Well Suited designer series paper.  

This was such a fun card to make!  I used the Tailored Tag punch and the Well Suited designer series paper.  

I saw this layout a while ago and have been wanting to make it.  I thought it was such a great masculine card.  You could also make it a feminine card just by changing the designer series paper. 

I also made some alternative cards to show everyone different ways you can use this wonderful suite.  Above are three of the cards that I shared with my class.  Of course, I had to make a Minnie Mouse card.  LOL

When I saw this pattern in the designer series paper pack, I immediately thought it would be great on a baby card.  The card is a little wider than a normal size envelope.  How was I going to make it so you could send it.  Then I remembered that we had made a gift bag with a card on it at my Holiday Extravaganza.  This is perfect when you want to give a gift and card for a new little angel. 

I had so much fun creating the projects and sharing them in my class. Which one is your favorite?

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you have a great Friday!  

Sending love and hugs,

Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! I love being a part of this wonderful blog hop with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world.  Each month we share different crafting ideas with all of you!  Today we are showcasing retiring products from the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! annual catalog, along with a technique!  I decided I was going to try a new technique that I just heard about.  Why I haven't seen or heard of it before, I do not know! Can you guess what technique I am talking about? 

If you guessed the Joseph's Coat Technique, you are correct! One of my friends/downline asked if I had ever heard of the Joseph's Coat Technique.  I had not, but I sure wanted to find out about it.  So, off to YouTube I went.  Wow!!!  It is so cool and so fun to do.  There are endless possibilities with this technique.  

Since we are showcasing retired products, I decided challenged myself.  I could only use retiring products on this card and I did!  I used the beautiful Gorgeous Posies stamp set, four of the  2019-2021 In Colors, Pretty Peacock, Rococo Rose, Seaside Spray and Terracotta Tile.  I also used the Timeless Label punch and the beautiful Seaside Spray Metallic ribbon, which I am going to miss.  I am sure glad I bought a bunch of the ribbon a long time ago.  The Seaside Spray is actually one of my daughter's colors for her wedding.  

Aren't these flowers absolutely beautiful!  I will definitely do this technique more.  I think this is going to be an awesome technique for fall projects!  My creative juices are already flowing.  

What do you think of this technique?  Is it something you would like to try?  I would love to know you thoughts about my project and this technique.  Please comment below and let me know.

Happy Stampin and

Tulips and Easter just go together!  When I think of tulips the thought of Spring and Easter comes to my mind.  This year for my Easter cards I used the Timeless Tulips stamp set from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  I was so excited when I saw that this stamp set was going to be in the new annual catalog. 

Everywhere you look when you go in to stores, you will see the color purple.  Which is okay with me!  I also wanted to use the beautiful Hydrangea Hill designer series paper.  I did use a retired stamp set for the sentiment.  

Look what a fun fold this card is!  It is an easy fold that gives your card that Wow effect.  

To make this project you will need the following paper.  For a complete list of all the products I used, please see the end of this post.

Cardstock:

Gorgeous Grape

• cut at 5 1/2" x 7" score at 4 1/4"
• cut at 3 3/4" x 4 1/4" - score at 1/2" on the 3 3/4" side

Purple Posy

• cut at 3 1/8" x 4 1/8"
• cut at 2 5/8" x 5 3//8"
• cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" - for inside the card

Basic White

• cut at 3" x 4"
• cut at 4" x 5 1/4" - for inside the card

Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper

• 2 1/2" x 5 1/4"

On this card I stamped the tulips with the Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green inks and added Wink of Stella to the flowers and leaves.  

On my second card I stamped the tulips with the Gorgeous Grape ink and the leaves and stems with the Granny Apple Green ink.  I couldn't decide which ink to use, so I was using both of them. I then added Wink of Stella to the flowers.  Look how they have a pinkish tint to them.  It was so weird when I put it the Wink of Stella on them, how it changed the color.  It was also really neat watching how it changed the color.  

Here is a picture with both cards together, so you can see them next to each other.  Look how the top one (stamped with Gorgeous Grape ink) has pink in it.  The bottom card was the one stamped with the Highland Heather ink and there was no change to it. Crazy! I tell ya, just crazy!  But cool at the same time.

I added the beautiful Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon around the card and tied a bow.  I used the ribbon to hold the card closed.  

I hope you enjoyed my projects today. Which one you like best?  Comment below and let me know.  I would love to hear your thoughts on both of them. 

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you are have a wonderful Wednesday and week.  Sending lots of love and hugs to everyone!

Happy Stampin and

There were some very kind demonstrators who took the time and redid the Last Chance Products Sale list.  I am very appreciative they did this.  I didn't have the time, nor do I know how to do it.  So here is the updated list with just US stamp sets by page number.

UPDATED STAMPIN' UP! 2020-2021 LAST CHANCE PRODUCTS SALE

I wanted to let you know that the Tear and Tape is not being retired.  It is being reconfigured for the new annual catalog.  Yay!  I use it all the time and would be very sad if they didn't have it anymore.  Also, the 
photopolymer stamps are being reconfigured.  All that means is Stampin' Up! is changing the way they package the photopolymer stamps inside the cases.  Not all photopolymer stamps are retiring.  
 
Thank you so everyone who placed an order yesterday and this morning. I really appreciate it!  I got my order in last night too.  

Don't forget to use the host code so that you can get a free gift from me for ordering $50 or more.  It is best to order online as I am not sure when I am going to be ordering and I don't want you to miss out on anything.  Here is the link for my store.

Happy Stampin and

Retirement list is here!!!  Everything is while supplies last except for the stamps.  The stamps are made at Stampin' Up! so they can keep making them as needed.  Once it gets closer to the end date of the catalog, then it will be while supplies last. 

STAMPIN' UP! 2020-2021 LAST CHANCE PRODUCT SALE

You will notice on the list that there are photopolymer stamps that say they are being reconfigured.  All that means is Stampin' Up! is changing the way they package the photopolymer stamps inside the cases.  Not all photopolymer stamps are retiring.  

This is the list that we got from Stampin' Up! so it has the French language stamps on it too.  As soon as I can clean up this list with only products that we use in the US, I will send it out. 

I do have a tip for you to help you see what is being retired and what isn't.  I take my catalog and I write an "R" next to the name of the product that is retiring.  That way when I look at my catalog I know what is staying and what isn't.  

Don't forget to use the host code so that you can get a free gift from me for ordering $50 or more.  It is best to order online as I am not sure when I am going to be ordering and I don't want you to miss out on anything.  Here is the link for my store.

Happy Stampin and

When I was out shopping this past weekend, I couldn't believe how many times I saw the color purple. It was in every store that I went into.  I wonder if there is going to be a purple in the new In Colors?  

I used the beautiful stamp set Flowering Blooms from the Stampin' Up! 2020-2021 annual catalog.  I knew I wanted this set as soon as I saw it, because I love to color.  I knew I could use so many different colors with it. I finally got a chance to play with it when I made this for my friend's birthday.  

I stamped the image in Memento ink and then colored the flower with the Highland Heather Stampin' Blends and the leaves I used the Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blend.  Did you notice the purple ribbon?  If you look in our catalog you will notice that we didn't have a solid purple ribbon.  So I made my own!

You can use any of our Stampin' Blends to color our ribbons.  That way, if you don't have the color you need you can make one to  match your project.  For this card I used the Silver Metallic Edge ribbon and the Highland Heather Stampin' Blend.  I did go over it two times to get the darker color that I wanted.  

The designer series paper is from the Brights 6"x6" pack.  I love how the finished card turned out and hope you do too.

Tomorrow, March 24th at (3:00pm EST, 1:00pm MT) the retirement list comes out. Check it out at

http://bit.ly/shopwithstampinscrapper

I will send out an email and do a blog post as soon as I can.  Items on the list will be while supplies last, except for the stamps.  

Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a great day!

Sending lots of love and hugs to all of you!

It's allergy season!  Need a beautiful tissue box?  I know I do!  I also need one for my new craft room and what better designer paper to use than the gorgeous Butterfly Bijou designer series paper.  

I added a butterfly to the front of the box that I cut out of the designer series paper.  I cut out a black scalloped circle with the Layering Circle dies and the white circle is cut out with the Stitched Shapes dies.  To finish it off, I added Rhinestones to the butterfly.  

I love that you can use any designer series paper you want and make one for any decor or season.  

Here are two tissue boxes that I made back in 2019.
