It's official.. the new Catalog started yesterday! I spent last weekend working on some projects using brand new products from the new Catalog so I would have lots to share. First up is the Fresh As A Daisy Suite. This was one of the items we could order early as a demonstrator. The muted colors in the pattern paper kind of remind me of the 1970's color palettes. I'm sure I'm not the only one that remember fridges came in wild colors like … [Read more...] about New Stampin Up Year, New Stamps

Dear Friend
I'm loving the Regency Park Suite of products. I wanted to have a simpler version that would be easy to recreate. I'm really happy with how this one turned out. The nice thing about this one is that the pattern paper square is 3 x 3". So you can get 4 of these squares out of one sheet of the pattern paper. The Flower stamp set and the punches will be in the next Annual Catalog. But that gorgeous pattern paper is retiring at the end of the … [Read more...] about Dear Friend

Fragrant Flowers
Today's card uses the Favored Flowers paper, which is free in the Sale-A-Bration Catalog. I have to be honest, this was not one of my first choices for a freebie when I made my purchase. Then I started seeing some really pretty ideas with the paper. So, I decided to take the plunge and get the stamps and dies, which then meant I got the paper for free! For my first card with this set, I used the flowers from the paper. And good news.. the … [Read more...] about Fragrant Flowers

Flowers For You
Today I have another project using the Bottled Happiness bundle. This time I used the vintage bottle domes with the effervescent elements inside. The effervescent elements look like little bubbles inside the jar. I struggled on where to put a sentiment on this card. I didn't want to cover up the flowers or the bottle. Then I remembered how a lot of times a flower bouquet will include a pic inside of it with the little card attached. I tried … [Read more...] about Flowers For You
Happy Fri-YAY!
I don't know what it is, but I'm really looking forward to this weekend. Some weeks are just like that. My daughter is coming home from college to celebrate her big brother's graduation from college two weeks ago. Now that they are older, it's such a blessing to have both kids home under the same roof even if it's just for one night. I'm back with the Hues of Happiness Suite of products. Oh my goodness, this pattern paper just makes my heart … [Read more...] about Happy Fri-YAY!
Happiness Abounds
One of my favorite stamp sets from the Catalog pre-order is the Happiness Abounds bundle. I absolutely love the coordinating pattern paper. For today's card I chose the rainbow sheet and matched my flower colors to the paper. I used my blending brush to add a bit of yellow to the tag just to soften the white color. And then edged the ink with a bit of pink to help it stand out. Then I added a lot of the iridescent rhinestones because I love … [Read more...] about Happiness Abounds
