Peony Garden Suite

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

A Happy 4th of July for my US friends! My Canadian friends celebrated Canada Day on the 1st of July and a happy day to the rest of my stampin’ friends around the world!!

Today I’d like to share with you the beauty of the Peony Garden Suite. Grab a cup of coffee if you’d like, I will be sharing a quick video to introduce you to the products included in this suite …

This quick little video shows just a glance at the beauty of this suite. Tomorrow for my Simply Sunday series I will share some quick & beautiful cards using the Peony Garden Designer Series paper. Here’s another look at the products ….

You can see how these amazing dies can build up a peony to send to a friend or you can just stamp the image as on the gray card and color it. So many ways to use this suite.

I love this card … it was created with the die cuts but used a coloring technique to create the two tone effects of the flower petals – so beautiful. Then stamp was colored with markers and then stamped onto the cardstock and the background is one of the pretty designs in the Peony Garden Designer paper.

My Peony lovers are going to be enchanted with this gorgeous suite. Stop back tomorrow for Simply Sunday and see what I have to share with you.

Have a wonderful day and enjoy “your” celebration! Thanks for stopping by.

Here is a list of the product I used to today’s cards. Find out more information about these products by clicking on the image … or you can begin your shopping from here as well. Thank you!

You will see a nice selection of what is included in the product suite on this card.  The beautiful designer paper is blooming with color!  The delicate die cut mat behind the greeting, which is then highlighted by some stamped images and adorned with the beautiful ribbon.

This pretty card shows off the pretty embossing folder, upon that is layers the stamped floral arrangement.  The greeting is embellished with some of the cute die cut flowers and all tied up with the ribbon.

This little cutie was created with the designer paper and then lightly colored. The flowers dance across the card with this edgelit die … one of my favorites!! There is just so much you can do with this suite.

Sneak Peak into the Holiday Catalog!!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

As you read my post today I will be heading into Santorini, however I have a couple of sneak peeks for you into the Holiday Catalog, or as Stampin’ Up! calls it … the Fall & Winter Catalog!  No matter what you call it, let me tell you that it is packed full of amazing product suites, bundles stamps, and accessories!

While you are going to bed or sleeping, this is the beautiful sunrise I (we are now 8 hours ahead of my hometown time) as I wrote out this blog post for you ….

Yesterday our morning started out with a nice breakfast overlooking the ocean and running into our table mates from last night! It’s so nice to really be able to build a friendship with other stamping professionals. You know we talk shop … or should be say STAMPING!! Next we were off to our General session where we saw demonstrations and new products.

The pictures didn’t turn out as nice because the screens are not as big as when we are at a Stampin’ Up! event, but here is one of our new products …

Beautiful bell images to stamp and die cut (equally as beautiful) in the BELLS ARE RINGING Bundle.  Speaking of bundles … look at the bundles of goodies we left General Session with …

Oh … Oh … there is the catalog, along with 2 brand new stamp sets, some really cool foil embellishments and wrapping paper!! Oh my gosh, I have so many ideas swirling around in my head! However, we still have a fairly new Annual Catalog, and I still have lots to show you there too. If you have your Wish List prepared ….

I also have an amazing offer to you while I’m gone. It’s a great way to put a little dent in your Wish List and cash in on some fabulous benefits designed for you.
