I told myself I didn't need another floral stamp set. And then I saw the dies that came with it. And the paper. And then tons of fabulous ideas online from other people. So of course I had to get it. This Suite did not disappoint. The pattern paper is absolutely gorgeous. Plus the coordinating foil specialty paper is amazing as well. I used a bit of it to cut out my purple stems below. I don't know that I would usually pair dark green … [Read more...] about Thoughtful Journey Suite

You Mean So Much…
I'm back today with another card using the Enduring Beauty bundle. I love these flowers in yellow. They are so pretty. I used the stencils again to color the flowers. Each layer has it's own stencil, which makes it so quick and easy to color everything. I've seen a copy of our brand new Annual Catalog that starts in May and it has another stamp bundle that includes a stencil to make the coloring so much easier. The Enduring Beauty … [Read more...] about You Mean So Much…
Enduring Beauty
One of the new stamp sets in the January-April Catalog has a fun accessory. The Enduring Beauty stamp set comes with layered stencils so you can color the entire stamp with one color at a time. This makes coloring the stamp so quick and easy. I love this feature. I was able to color the entire stamp in just a few minutes. Coloring with stencils is so easy and so fun. I highly recommend giving this bundle a try. Enduring Beauty … [Read more...] about Enduring Beauty
Last of the Lavender
Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing the last of my Lavender cards for now. This time I'm using the products from the Catalog rather than pairing it with the Paper Pumpkin kit. This Suite has been very popular and t's easy to see why. The pattern paper in this Suite is just so pretty. I really had a difficult time deciding which pattern to use first. I think this particular pattern would make a lovely wallpaper. Stamping the lavender is … [Read more...] about Last of the Lavender
Love
If you want to stretch your Paper Pumpkin kits, a great way to do that is to add in our Catalog products. Add some card stock and pattern paper and you can take the pieces from the Paper Pumpkin kit to make lots of different cards. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with the tags in the January Paper Pumpkin kit, but it turns out they look great on the front of a card. I added some white ribbon that I colored with one of our Blend … [Read more...] about Love
Paper Pumpkin Meets Catalog
I promised to share some projects combining the Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin Kit with the Perennial Lavender Suite in the January to April Catalog. Here is my first project. This is a slim line card and I used the greenery and flowers from the Paper Pumpkin kit and combined them with the pattern paper from the Suite. I also use the Love of Spring Dies, which was an add-on product that coordinates with the January Paper Pumpkin kit. If … [Read more...] about Paper Pumpkin Meets Catalog
Perennial Lavender Suite
Today's card is one of the reasons I purchased the Lavender Suite. I loved this card in the Catalog and wanted to make it myself. This card is almost exactly the same as the one in the January-April Catalog. Did you know it's okay to copy the cards and projects in the Catalog? The Stampin Up designers spend hours and hours coming up with fabulous projects and then they share them with us in the Catalog. I love that I can make a beautiful … [Read more...] about Perennial Lavender Suite
That’s A Lot of Pink
The color pink has been all over the internet lately with the release of the new Barbie movie. I haven't seen the movie yet so I can't comment on it. But I can definitely join in the pink craze and make some pink cards. This card is a little different with a smaller panel on the front of the card. You can see that the left side is only about a third of the way across. And the smaller panel on top allows you to see the background on the base … [Read more...] about That’s A Lot of Pink
