Impressions

I love the Springtime Impressions thinlits dies!  Did I mention how excited I am that Coastal Cabana is back?!!  I truly love this color.  I could live the rest of my life with only Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay for colors!  I paired the Coastal with Petal Pink.  This is a color I didn't think I would like, but I haven't stopped using it!  It's a pretty peachy pink that's very easy to blend in with other colors.  The sentiment is from Abstract Impressions.  Such a pretty and versatile stamp set!

I cut the die in Whisper White and then used Sponge Daubers and colored in with Soft Seafoam, Petal Pink, Coastal Cabana, and Poppy Parade.  I finished it off with Faceted Dots.  Just click on the graphics to shop.  Please leave me a comment to let me know your favorite new or returning color.

From the Heart...

I feel like I've been making a lot of "from the heart, thinking of you, with sympathy" cards lately.  I'm thankful I have new products to make it easier!  Here is one using the beautiful new blue called Balmy Blue, and the specialty designer series paper called Delightfully Detailed.  There are pieces you can use as strips and some as a mat, or you can simply cut to size and use the flowers and leaves as layers.  I scattered a few of the tiny colored pearls from the Share What You Love suite.  The sentiment is from Petal Palette on a Stitched oval.  Let me know what you think!  And click below to view the catalog.  Feel free to contact me for a free copy if you are not working with another demonstrator.

Purple, purple

I think Stampin' Up! has made a purple lover out of me.  I've never been a big fan of it, but the two new purples are so pretty and easy to work with!  The first is Highland Heather and the second Gorgeous Grape.  I decided to put Gorgeous Grape to work with the Abstract Impressions stamp set and some watercolor paper.  I used Granny Apple Green for the leaves.  I love this color, but I've always loved greens.  Aren't these new colors beautiful!  I've been using a lot of Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam too.

I stamped on watercolor paper and spritzed it enough for it to bleed a bit.  The sentiment piece was made from Stitched Labels framelits and I added a tiny piece of Highland Heather to make it stand out a little.  Let me know what you think!

Note cards

I made this note card for a make and take at my Stampin' Up! Open House.  I then decided to create another.  I used the In Color designer series paper.  It's so easy to use!  I also used Stitched All Around framelits and the sentiment from a hostess set called Hand Delivered.  This pretty green is Call Me Clover.  Oh, I forgot...the pretty floral piece behind the sentiment is the Artistic Impressions thinlits.

On the second card, I used the gorgeous specialty designer series paper called Delightfully Detailed.  The sentiment is made from the Make a Difference stamp set.  It's a great alphabet set to have!  The dsp color is Blueberry Bushel and I paired it with Gray Granite. You can click on the products above to shop in my store, or on the flower on the side bar.  Let me know if I can answer any questions and please leave me a comment!  I love reading them.  Thanks for stopping by.

And don't forget, if you are not working with another demonstrator and would like a catalog, please let me know.  I'd be happy to send one to you!

New Stampin' Up! Butterfly!

I used the new Stampin' Up! thinlits called Springtime Impressions on this nice and easy card.  The sentiment is from Detailed with Love.  And I love this new Lovely Lipstick color paired with black!  The butterfly has an added layer of vellum.  Let me know what you think!

Pretty Peekaboo

I am really going to miss Peekaboo Peach!  It’s such a fresh and pretty color, but it is retiring soon. The 2016-18 In Colors will be gone for good soon!  This has to be my favorite In Colors of all time. If you love these colors as much as I do, you should stock up on Cardstock, ink pads, embellishments and reinkers before they’re gone.  They always sell out before the end date (May 31), and you don’t want to miss out.!!

On this card, I used the Picture Perfect stamp set from the Occasions catalog.  I love the font and fun sentiments in this set!  I also used Tutti Fruiti dsp and the shimmer ribbon from Sale-a-bration.  This ribbon is FREE with a qualifying purchase of $50.  It’s so pretty and easy to tie!

If you place an order of $50 or more by March 31 and use this host code, you will receive a free pack of embellishments from me!  HOST CODE:   G9PUNNQZ  
And don't forget, you will also receive a FREE Sale-a-Bration item!  There are some great choices (this ribbon, for one)!!  Check out your free options here:  Sale-a-Bration

AZ Trip

As mentioned in my previous post, my husband and I went to Scottsdale, AZ for his company trip.  We had a great time!  I met lots of nice people and we saw some pretty sights.  One day, I went to Sedona with the girls and then went back the next day with my husband.  We arrived in shorts and it was really cold!  It started to rain and hail while we were eating lunch.  We stopped at Jerome, an old mining town, on the way back.  I was petrified during the drive.  It is located at 7,000 feet on the side of a mountain!  I don't have any pictures.  We headed to Tucson the next day and stopped off at Saguaro State Park where we saw lots of cacti.  Next stop was Old Tucson.   They filmed Little House on The Prairie there and lots of movies and shows.  We headed back to Phoenix and stopped at one of the casinos where we lost our shirts!  It was so much fun.  I hope to go back again.

New SAB Items to choose!

I just got back from a nice vacation to Scottsdale, AZ.  It was beautiful out there!  We went to Sedona and Tucson as well.  I will try to post a few pics.  Sedona is gorgeous!  I will have to go back because there were a few friends I really wanted to see.  We just didn't have the time.

Stampin' Up! has added some products you can choose for FREE during Sale-a-Bration.  With any order $50 or more, you can choose one of these items (some are with a $100 order).  Just click to shop!
