I can't seem to stop using this beautiful designer series paper! That, combined with the gorgeous font in the Fitting Florets stamp set, is a great combination. I found an older sketch on Freshly Made Sketches (#291). It's a simple but I like how you use both sides of the designer series paper. This was used for my Team Mystery Stamping.

I recently posted about an amazing suite called Fitting Florets (scroll back two posts). I wanted to make a Dutch Door card and decided to use this pretty designer series paper again. The dies in the Fitting Florets cut out certain pieces of the flowers, but I wanted a different bunch, so I fussy cut.
This suite is available starting November 1 through January 4. Some of the items are only available until January 4, or while supplies last (Framed & Festive stamp set, dsp and embellishments). The Fitting Florets stamps and dies will be available in the mini catalog in January. Don't you think this paper is really pretty? There are a couple of holiday prints and the back sides are patterned, and the flowers are really nice. I adore the font in the stamp sets!! Let me know what you think.
UPDATED for cuts:
Card base: 5-1/2” x
8-1/2” – Score at 4-1/4” and cut front in half at 2-3/4” then cut on fold line
to remove top
Basic White: 2-1/2” x 4” (cut this twice – one for
inside)
Cardstock to frame white: 2-3/4” x 4-1/4”
Patterned Paper: 2-1/2″ x 4″ twice (two different patterns)
I'm really not looking forward to the snow, but it is so pretty! This Snow Crystal stamp is gorgeous, don't you think? It's a stand alone stamp. I borrowed the sentiment from Joyful Flurry. I'm a sucker for a pretty snowflake!
I started out with Basic White (3-3/4 x 5). I stamped the crystal in Versamark, added white emboss powder, and heat set it. I then used my blending brushes to ink up some Pool Party and a bit of Night of Navy toward the middle. This panel was mounted on a Pool Party panel which is 4 x 5-1/4. Then I adhered to a Night of Navy card base.
I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy on Pool Party cardstock and cut with a die from the Frosted Flurry dies. I just love that shape! I embellished with several flakes, stars, etc. from the Sparkle and Shine Sequins Assortment, and finally spattered with Wink of Stella. I know it's hard to see! Have you started your holiday cards yet?

Ok, it's not beer, but I used the Brewed for You stamp set for this one. I stamped a sprig from Honeybee Home. I colored the flowers and jug in with Stampin' Blends (Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo). To be completely honest, I covered up a smudge on the top right with the sentiment circle (retiring die - Tasteful Labels, sentiment from Hand-Penned). What do you think? Does it look like a beer jug?!

It's no secret -- I love a good craft beer! When I saw this Brewed for You set in the upcoming Stampin' Up! annual catalog, I knew I had to have it. Once I started playing, I couldn't stop. Here are a few cards I've created using this fun set.
This uses brand new In Colors - Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis. I've used the In Color dsp for most of it. The "tray" is made from a piece of a retired dsp (any wood would do). It was cut using the new Stylish Shapes and the banner was too. The embellishments are new as well.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Please leave me a comment if you have a minute! I love reading them. Stay tuned for the next post which will be a non-beer card I've created using this.
Here is the new catalog cover. That's all I can show for now. It goes live on May 3.

I used the Honeybee Home bundle for this card. Don't you just love those cute little bees?! This bundle coordinates so well with the Heart and Home bundle. They are both in the upcoming spring mini catalog. I CASED the catalog. They show a beautiful tag which inspired me.
I changed the color combination by using Misty Moonlight, Basic Gray, So Saffron and Old Olive. The Misty Moonlight panel was embossed using the Hive 3D embossing folder I used a piece of the pretty dsp from Heart & Home and die cut it with Stitched Rectangles. I then added one of the Heart & Home doilies, then stamped and die cut flowers and bees. I put a little bit of color using Stampin' Blends in Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, So Saffron, and the colorless blender. A piece of the Denim ribbon was tucked under the sentiment piece from Heart & Home. I finished by added some of the Classic Matte Dots which I love!

I attended the Stampin' Up! OnStage event last weekend. It was fantastic! I'm so excited about the new spring catalogs and can hardly wait to share with you! One bundle I was able to order before the event was the Heart and Home bundle. It's a beautiful stamp and die set. I made this fun fold card with it. I used the pretty dsp from this bundle, the Tailor Made Tags dies, and a great sentiment set from the annual catalog called Through it Together. I hope you like it!
Just a tip, I stamped the flowers in Cinnamon Cider, then used a Stampin' Blend in Pale Papaya after it dried a bit. You can't color a lot, just very lightly as it can smear the ink. I had the Cinnamon Cider pieces sitting on my desk so I put them to work as well. If you need the tutorial for the fold, scroll back a few posts and you will see it. It's a favorite of mine!
