On Friday night I had my first Bunco Night and will be having another again.  It was so much fun!  We made 4 different cards and played 3 rounds of Bunco.   The cards were simple because we wanted to have time to play Bunco too. 

I used  the Bloom & Grow stamp set from the annual catalog, along with the Swirls and Curls embossing folder and Black Satin Ribbon.  

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

Cardstock:

Whisper White Thick

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Purple Posy

• cut at 4" x 4 1/4"

I wrapped the Black Satin ribbon around the Purple Posy cardstock and then popped it up with Stampin Dimensionals.  I did use a retired punch for the flower and center of it.  I put Wink of Stella on the center of the flower.   This is a fun and easy card to make and it turns out beautiful.

Here are some pictures from the fun evening.

Last Monday on my Facebook Live I shared with you how to make the bag in the above picture.  I had mentioned that I made a card the coordinated with the bag and would share with you how to make it too.  I wanted to share this on Friday, but I needed to get the information about my Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Paper Share.  If you would like information on it click on this link.

Stampin' Up! 2019 Holiday Paper Share

This card is a very easy card to make and you get to have fun coloring with the new Stampin' Blends.  The stamp set, Good Morning Magnolia and dies, Magnolia Memory, are available as a bundle and you save 10%! 

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

Cardstock:

Mossy Meadow

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Petal Pink

• cut at 1" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4" for the inside of the card
• cut at 2 1/4" x 8 1/2" for the flowers and leaves

Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

I used the Petal Pink (both dark and light) and Mossy Meadow (both dark and light) Stampin' Blends to color in the magnolia flowers.  I love that Stampin' Up! has already helped us with where we need to put the darker colors.  When you stamp the image you will see little lines where your color needs to be darker than other areas.  

I colored three flowers and adhered them to the Petal Pink strip.  I stamped Thanks on the right hand side of the strip using Mossy Meadow ink.  I popped up the top flower with a Stampin Dimensional after I colored them and cut them out with the Magnolia Memory dies.  I added the twine from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack.   I also stamped the flower image on the inside of my card and on my envelope, both in the lower left hand corner. 

If you missed the post about how to make the coordinating bag and a bag using 2 pieces of 12" x 12" designer series paper, you can check them out at the link below.

Gift Bags Made With Designer Series Paper

Tonight during my Facebook live I will be sharing with you a project that will be great for kids and/or teachers.  A great way to celebrate your kids going back to school or say hello to your child's teacher. 

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you are having a great Monday and have a wonderful week!

The card I have to share with you today is from when I did my paper share for the Stampin' Up! 2019-2020 annual catalog.  I created this card for all the participants as an example on how to use their designer series paper.  I also wanted to thank them for being a part of my first paper share.

The designer series paper is from the beautiful Pressed Petals paper pack.  For the sentiment I used the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set.  Then I cut it out with the Stitched Shapes dies and the mat was cut out using the Layering Oval dies.  

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

Cardstock:

Mossy Meadow

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

RococoRose

• cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
• cut at 2 1/2" x 3 1/2"

Very Vanilla

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

Pressed Petal Designer Series Paper

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

I popped up the sentiment with Stampin Dimensionals.  When you are going over ribbon, put your dimensionals on the top and bottom of your sentiment.  If you put it on the sides, it will stick to the ribbon and move around.  

I am going to be having another paper share for the Stampin' Up! 2019 holiday catalog.  I will do a blog post with all the details soon.  

It's Monday!!!  I am very excited today as my preorder from the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog will be here today.  I have ordered a lot!  I mean a lot!  LOL  I love the new catalog and I know you will too.  Robin and I are going to start designing this week for my Holiday Extravaganza in October.  

If you ordered from me in the last 6 months or are attending my Holiday Extravaganza (unless you are a demonstrator) you will be receiving a catalog in the mail from me.  If you won't be receiving a catalog in the mail, but would like one, please let me know and I will get one to you.  You can email me at stampinscraper13@gmail.com.

Thank you for stopping in today.  I hope you have a wonderful Monday and week.

On Friday night I had my monthly card class and I featured the Come Sail Away Suite.  At this class we make 3 different cards using the same stamp set, framelits and designer series paper.  This is a great way to show how versatile our products are.  The above card is one of the cards we made in class.  

Do you know where I got the layout for this card?  I had used it in another card with the same theme in May 2016.  I use the Open Sea stamp set.  Here is a picture of the card I originally made.

If you would like to see the original post go to Open Sea Birthday Card. 

In the above picture it shows the beautiful products I used to create this card.  Did you notice the High Seas embossing folder I used on the Very Vanilla piece of cardstock on the front of the card?

Here is a closer picture so you can see the products I used better.  I used one of the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots for the center of the ship's wheel.  

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

Cardstock:

Soft Suede

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
• scraps for a 2" circle and for the ships wheel

Night of Navy

• cut 2 at 2" x 4"

Very Vanilla

• cut 2 at 4" x 5 1/4"
• scrap for 1 3/4" circle

Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper

• cut 2 at 1 3/4" x 3 3/4"

For my Facebook live tonight I am going to be making the thank you treats I made for this class.  I hope you can join me!  Go to my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page at 7:00pm EST.  

On June 7th I had my Annual Catalog Kickoff event.  There was laughter, stamping, eating, a scavenger hunt and the most important, a lot of fun!  Here are some pictures from the evening. 

The delicious cookies were made by my friend, Wendy.  You can find her on her Facebook page Cookies By Wendy.

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you have a fantastic day!

I am so happy that you are joining us for our blog hop!   We are a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrator from around the world who are Hoppin’ With Exciting Ideas to share with you. Today we will feature products from the 2019-2020 annual Stampin’ Up! Catalog. I know you will find a lot of wonderful ideas that are shared today!

I had a hard time trying to figure out what stamp set I wanted to use for this blog hop.  There are so many beautiful sets in this catalog.  I started to look around my craft room to get inspiration and saw my display of the Blends markers.  I knew I wanted to use them, so that narrowed down my choices to images that could be colored.  There were still quite a few left in my pile and still no idea which one to use. 

Then, I looked over on my craft table and saw the Basket Weave embossing folder and I immediately knew I wanted to do a flower basket.  In my pile of stamp sets I saw the Bloom and Grow stamp set and knew it would be perfect!  I love to color so this card was a lot of fun for me to design and make.  

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

Cardstock:

Seaside Spray

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Crumb Cake

• cut at 2 1/4" x 2 1/2" for the basket

Purple Posy

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White

• cut at 4 " x 5 1/4" for the inside of the card
• cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
• cut at 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" for all your stamped images

Did you notice the beautiful 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon in the Seaside Spray color?  This ribbon is available in all of the 2019-2021 In Colors.  Yay!  The Bloom and Grow stamp set has coordinating dies, Budding Blooms, and you can get them as a bundle and save 10%.

I know the new Good Morning Magnolia stamp set is going to be very popular when the new Stampin' Up! annual catalog goes live on June 4th.  It is such a beautiful stamp set with coordinating dies, designer series paper, ribbon, embossing folder and so much more!  

I saw this card online, but it wasn't watermarked, so I don't know who created it.  Isn't it beautiful?  I love to color, so this card caught my eye right away.  I used the Petal Pink - light and dark and light Mossy Meadow blends.  

I tried to color the magnolias to match the designer series paper.  I have to say, they turned out better than I thought they would.  I just love the blends markers.  

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

Cardstock:

Whisper White Thick

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

Petal Pink

• cut at 4" x 5 1/4"

Whisper White

• cut at 2 1/4" x 3 1/4"
• cut at 4" x 5 1/4" for inside the card
• scraps for flowers

Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper

• cut at 2" x 5 1/2"

After I stamped the Thanks sentiment, I used the Stitched Shapes framelits to cut it out.  To give the Petal Pink cardstock texture, I embossed it with the Layered Leaves embossing folder.  I also used the new 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon to wrap around the cardstock. 

To adhere the sentiment I used Stampin Dimensionals to give it a little bit of lift off of the layer below it.  

Most of the products that I used on this card will not be available for purchase until June 4th when the 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! annual catalog goes live. 

I was in Michigan for a few days visiting my mom and family.  It was nice the day I got there and then it got cold and rained.  It never fails whenever I go up there the weather turns cold.  Grrrr

Here are some pictures that I took while up there.

My beautiful Mom!!!

My niece Karin, nephew Jason and his son Ryan, Mom and my sister Jean

My nephews Corey and Travis.  Yes I am short LOL

Part of my family.  My sisters, Jean and Jan with her husband Rudy, two of my nephews, Corey and Travis with their wives,  Tara and Ashley

I was able to spend some time with my friend from elementary school.  We have been friends for 49 years!  OMG!  That's a long time!  We couldn't possibly be that old!

I will be showing you how to make a fun and easy adhesive holder for your desk.  I hope you can stop by tonight over on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I hope you have a fantastic Monday and week!

Every Monday night at 7:00pm I have a Facebook Live on my Stampin Scrapper Facebook page.  Since Stampin' Up! was having a day of celebrating Lovely As A Tree, I thought I should celebrate it too!  But, how was I going to celebrate it? 

One way was to share with you on my blog post on Monday my favorite Lovely As A Tree and Rooted In Nature stamp sets.  Another way was creating a fun project to demonstrate on my Facebook Live.  

As my husband, Mr. Wonderful, and I were driving home on Sunday, I noticed how pretty the trees looked against the sky.  That got my creative juices flowing on how to take that look and make it into a card.  My next step was to search Pinterest for ideas on how to do a sky background and what time of day I wanted to do.  After looking at a lot of different cards, I knew I wanted to do a sunset.  

I really like how it turned out.  I also knew I wanted to use one of the stamp sets that I hadn't used in a very long time.  As I was looking through my stamp sets, I found the Calligraphy Essentials stamp set.  It had some cobwebs on it, (not really) so it was time to brush it off and use it.  I think the sentiment is perfect for this card.  What a better way to watch the sunset and thank God for your day.  

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

Cardstock:

Crushed Curry

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"

Basic Black

• cut at 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"

Whisper White

• cut 2 at 4" x 5 1/4"

Here is the video showing you how to do the sponging on this card.

Now, you can create beautiful sunsets yourself!  What stamp set are you going to use on your project?

Thank you for stopping in today!  I hope you have a terrific day!  Tomorrow I am heading to Michigan to spend some time with my mom and the rest of my family.  I can't wait to see them.  It has been way too long!

Today I am celebrating Lovely As A Tree!  Can you believe this stamp set first came out in the Stampin' Up! 2001 annual catalog.  It is hard to believe that a stamp set has been around for so long.  When I first started being a demonstrator for Stampin' Up! I ordered this stamp on my first order.  I loved it then and still do.  I am going to miss this stamp set.  

Here are a few of the cards I have made with the Lovely As A Tree stamp set.

I made this card when I was part of the Splitcoast Stampers Creative Crew

Lovely As A Tree Christmas

Merry Christmas Lovely As A Tree Card

Here is another Christmas card using the Lovely As A Tree stamp set.  

SCS Creative Crew December 2017 Project #4

Finally, a card that isn't a Christmas card.  LOL  

Lovely As A Tree With Woodgrain Embossing Folder

I promise I have made a lot of cards with this stamp set that weren't Christmas.   I used it a lot before I started my blog on different projects, but I don't have pictures of the projects.  

Since we are saying goodbye to Lovely As A Tree, which I love, we need to say hello to Rooted In Nature.  I know if I needed a tree for any of projects I would go to Lovely As A Tree, but now I go to Rooted in Nature.  One thing that I really like in this stamp set is that there is a variety of stamps in this set.  You have sentiments, leaves, trees, a wood stamp and you can also purchase coordinating dies.  Until June 3rd you can get it as a bundle and save 10%!    

Here are a few projects that I have made with the Rooted in Nature stamp set. 

Rooted In Nature Sympathy Card

Itty Bitty Greetings and Rooted In Nature

Rooted In Nature

One Sheet Wonder 

Both of the Lovely As A Tree and Rooted In Nature stamp sets are absolutely beautiful.  If you want Lovely As A Tree, you need to order it as soon as possible, as it while supplies last.  

I am having my first Holiday Extravaganza retreat!!!  I am so excited!  Check back tomorrow for all the details.  

Tonight I am going to be showcasing the Lovely As A Tree stamp set on my Facebook Live.  Here is a sneak peek of the card I will be demonstrating. 

Thank you for stopping in today!  Have a terrific Monday and a fabulous week!

Incredible Like You with Bloom to Bloom

I love the layout on this card.  The card on the right I used the Needlepoint Nook designer series paper and the card on the right I used the Happiness Blooms designer series paper.  Both cards are stamped with the Bloom to Bloom and Incredible Like You stamp sets.  All of these products are retiring at the end of the month and available while supplies last. 

Masculine Thank You

If you are like me, masculine cards can sometimes be a challenge, especially thank you cards.  On this card I used the Tranquil Textures designer series paper, Thank You framelit and the self adhesive sheets.  All of these products are retiring at the end of the month. 

Calligraphy Essentials 

When the Rooted In Nature suite came out last year I was so excited.  I really love the Nature's Poem designer series paper, and the Calligraphy Essentials stamp set.  This stamp set also has a coordinating kit, Calligraphy Essentials Project kit.  All of these products are also retiring, but the Nature's Roots framelits ARE NOT retiring.  They will be in the new 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! annual catalog.

Love What You Do 

I am so excited the Love What You Do stamp set is going to be in the new annual catalog.  However, the Share What You Love designer series paper will be retiring at the end of the month.  

Tropical Chic Treat Cups

How cute are these Sweet Cups!  I am going to miss these cups, I used them a lot.  I used the Tropical Escape designer series paper, which is retiring, to decorate the cups.  I am happy to say all the other products will be carrying over to the new annual catalog.

I had a class where we made Easter cards and this was one of my favorites from that class.  I used All My Love designer series paper and the His Grace stamp set to make this card.  Both of these projects are retiring at the end of the month, but all of the other products are going to be carried over to the new 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! annual catalog.

Sliding Pop Up Card

I made this card for my mom and she loved it!  I used the stamp set from the April Paper Pumpkin kit and the Gingham Gala designer series paper.  I think this might be the paper that I will miss the most on the retirement list.   

Coffee Cafe Tunnel Card

I have used the Coffee Cups at least once a month, sometimes more, since they came out.  This is one stamp set, Coffee Cafe, and framelits, Coffee Cups, that I will be keeping for a very long time.  The stamp set and framelits are perfect for making cards and gift card holders when you give away coffee gifts cards.  For texture on this card I used the Garden Trellis embossing folder and the Garden Impressions designer series paper, which are both retiring.  

Eastern Beauty and Swirly Bird

The sentiment on this card is from the Eastern Beauty stamp set and the scattered dots are from the Swirly Bird stamp set, which both of them are retiring.  The flower is from Pop of Petal stamp set and is being carried over to the new annual catalog.  The Swirly Scribbles thinlits are also retiring at the end of the month.

Dragonfly Dreams Eclipse Card

This was a fun card at my card class!  The Dragonfly Dreams stamp set with the coordinating Detailed Dragonfly thinlits are both retiring.  Also, retiring is the Large Letter Framelits.  I am sad about the Large Letter Framelits because I love them!  They are another product that I won't be getting rid of.  

Here are the colors that are also retiring this month.  The Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Fig cardstock, however, are SOLD OUT.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my top ten favorites on the retiring list.  It is always fun to go back and look at different projects I have created.

Who is going to miss the Gingham Gala designers series paper?  I sure am!  I am happy to let you know that the Butterfly Gala stamp set and Duet Butterfly punch are going to be in the new Stampin' Up! 2019-2020 annual catalog.  I don't know about you, but I absolutely love punches.  When I see there is a stamp set that has a coordinating punch, I get so excited!

I designed this card for one of my card classes and it was a big hit.  You could use any color in the Gingham Gala designer series paper for a total different look.  For the butterflies on this card, I stamped them in Balmy Blue, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather.  

There is one thing that I absolutely love about this stamp set.  The butterflies (small and large) are one stamp that fit perfectly with the punch.  You don't have to try and line up the two butterflies to fit perfectly with the punch.  Below is a picture of the stamp set and punch so you can see what I am talking about.

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

Cardstock:

Whisper White Thick

• cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4"

Highland Heather

• cut at 2 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Lemon Lime Twist

• cut at 2 1/4" x 5 1/2"

Whisper White

• scraps to stamp 3 sets of butterflies

Butterfly Gala Designer Series Paper

• cut at 2" x 5 1/2"

I popped up the butterflies with Stampin Dimensionals and then put a single Rhinestone in the middle of each of the butterflies. 

It's Friday!!!  I have the day off today!  Wouldn't you know it, it is suppose to rain all day.  I am still going to have a great day!  Do you have any plans for today?

I hope you have a fabulous Friday and weekend!

Happy Stampin and
