Simply Sunday: Petal Passion

Posted in 2018 Occasions Catalog by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Happy New Years Eve day … Hard to believe this is going to be my last post this year! But don’t worry, I have something special for you tomorrow!

Today my Simply Sunday featured product is the Petal Passion Designer Series paper. Black and White can make an elegant statement or you can add a pop of color like I did today to give it a fun little attitude.

As you can see, the Petal Passion designer paper makes a beautiful backdrop to our card and is highlighted with a pop of color from the  Myths & Magic Glimmer paper. Both can be found in the Occasions Catalog!

The wonderful greeting comes from the “A Mothers Flair” stamp set that is also found in the Occasions catalog. This new catalog is filled with great new products … and I’ll be sharing them with you in many ways.

Enjoy your New Years Eve, be happy … be safe.

Thank you for spending the last day of this year with me.

Happy New Year!

Mermaid Magic …

Posted in 2018 Occasions Catalog, Birthday by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I want to share with you another fun card from the “Magical Day” Bundle. I’m using it with the cute designer paper again, but we’re going a bit more feminine this time.

The layouts are similar … I switched out the background of trees yesterday to the glimmer bubbles on today’s card. We also went from dragons and knights to mermaids!

I cut out my mermaid (from the designer paper) and my stamped greeting with the Stitched Framelits … then I added the new glimmer paper from the Myths and Magic product suite.  Doesn’t that designer paper look like bubbles? I love it!!It

Speaking  of bubbles, just like yesterday’s card … I added the glimmer dots, this time coming up from the seaweed that I cut from the coordinating dies! It gives you an appearance as if you’re under the water with our mermaid.

I’m using the birthday greeting from the “Picture Perfect Birthday” stamp set for inside… just as yesterday. I wish the camera could catch what the eyes see … the seaweed is Lemon Lime twist painted with Dapper Denim using the Wink of Stella!!

You’ve seen two different cards now from the Magical Day bundle, there is so much you can do with this versatile product suite! I’m sure you’ll see more samples from this suite from me.

Here’s to another “Magical” day … Thanks for spending part of your day with me.

See you tomorrow for my Simply Sunday post ~

Magical Birthday …

Posted in 2018 Occasions Catalog, Birthday by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

As promised … I have a really cute card to share with you today. You should have your new Occasions Catalog by now and I hope you are enjoying seeing all the wonderful stamp sets and accessories.

Today I want to share with you the “Magical Day” Bundle with you … a totally fun stamp set and coordinating dies, but let’s not stop there! Stampin’ Up! has also given us the cutest designer paper to go with it … and more but we’ll get to those in future posts.

This bundle is great for kids (or for the kid inside some of us adults) It truly is magical with it’s Dragons, Knights, Wizards, Mermaids and Unicorns! Plus, if that’s not enough … this designer paper is dazzling with glitter.

Even with the glitter, this card is great for a young man brave enough to slay the dragon … or “Train Your Dragon”!! The color combination of Dapper Denim and Lemon Lime Twist makes it even more fun!

 I borrowed a birthday greeting from the “Picture Perfect Birthday” stamp set for my inside greeting. The greeting on the front of the card is included in the Magical Day stamp set. A couple little glimmer dots to carry over the glimmer from the front of our card and the inside is complete.

I’m looking forward to sharing many of the amazing bundles and goodies from our Occasions catalog with you. Don’t forget … Sale-a-Bration begins too! It’s a great time to host a stampin’ party with your friends – at home, on-line or a book show.

Thank you for stopping by today, and I hope your day is “Magical”.

See you tomorrow ~

Sneak Peek #2 … Beautiful Day

Posted in 2017-18 ANNUAL CATALOG, 2018 Occasions Catalog by

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Hope your week is going well … we only have one more day until the weekend, so I think today is a good day for a Beautiful Day!

I’d like to introduce you to the Beautiful Day stamp set and the NEW Brusho Crystal Colour! I wish the camera had the ability to capture what our eyes see because the color of this card is much more stunning in person!

We embossed the butterfly from the Beautiful Day stamp set in black on Watercolor paper. Then we used the Aqua Painter to wet the watercolor paper inside the butterfly …

Next (after poking a small hole in the cover) we tapped some of the yellow Brusho color crystals into the center of the butterfly. The water mixed with the powder creates a beautiful flow of color. Then we tapped green Brusho around the outer edges, we could blend the color with the Aqua Painter. Don’t worry … I will be holding classes on this spectacular new product!

OK … if that wasn’t pretty enough, I added Wink of Stella to add a touch of sparkle to my card, and it looked great with the Glitter Enamel Dots found in the Annual Catalog! I love how it all coordinates 🙂

I hope you enjoyed today’s card … I can’t wait to gather with you and show you in person how amazing and fun this new coloring medium is!

Thank you for stopping by.

Have a beautiful day ~
