Finding Inspiration Friday with the Paper Players

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping by. I love sharing my inspiration and today I'm sharing for the Paper Player's Clean and simple challenge (PP496). I have 2 cards for you today.

My first clean and simple project is made with the new Misty Moonlight In-Color. I feel that keeping everything mono chromatic, it helps the simple feel. The A Little Lace Stamp set is great! You can create great things with it. 

My second card is another new In-Color Cinnamon Cider. I also love the new Comfort and Hope Stamp set. This is a great companion set with lots of textures and great sayings.

I love the 3 circle stamp. It reminds me of bubbles and sequins. Think of combining with Seaside Notions stamp set. I'm planning a specialty class with the Comfort and Hope stamp set in August. It's going to be great!

Be sure to visit The Paper Player's blog to check out the entries for the PP496 Challenge. There are so many great clean and simple projects to see.

Make it Monday with Peony Garden Suite of Products

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the beginning of the week! It is officially summer for me for just a short bit. Our school district is beginning the really challenging work of planning for the fall and how we will have students come back to school or hybrid. I thought it would be great to take my mind off of all that for now and enjoy wonderful Stampin' Up! products. 

If you follow me or have visited lately, you know I have been obsessed with the Peony Garden suite of products. The stamp set, DSP, and accessories are crazy awesome! On my project, I love the Petal Pink Organdy ribbon, but the gold twisted thread adds so much sparkle.

My card is really simple and quick. I used it for my Simple yet Stunning video series too. The Peony Garden Designer Series paper is so pretty. It has Basic Gray and Petal Pink as the color story. I took a piece of the Basic Gray peony sheet and used my Stampin' Blends to quickly color in the flowers. It's stunning!

The flowers are already shaded in the paper, so coloring with the Stampin' Blends was so easy to make them stand out. Do you see the Elegant Faceted Gem? These are just my favorite right now. I have been putting them on everything! 

I hope you enjoyed my card today. There are so many possibilities with this set and other coordinating products. If you'd like to win a package of the Peony Garden DSP, check out my recent post on a sketch challenge. Be sure to enter to win.

Thanks again for stopping by. I love sharing my love for stamping. I'd love to see your stamping creations for the sketch challenge. Be sure to check out all the great promotions going on this month.

Prized Peony Stamp Set + Prize Patrol Sketch Challenge

Hi Everyone,

Welcome to my blog today. I have some beautiful projects to share with you that I did for my Weekly Wednesday stamp class. You can see my video on my Facebook page.

All of the cards today feature the Prized Peony Stamp set and the fantastic Peony dies. This first card is all about the Peony Dies. The peony builder die are so easy to use to build the peony! I can't understand how Stampin' Up! does it! This flower is fantastic!

I used several parts of the Peony Garden Suite in class. I featured the Peony Garden DSP (which is stunning)! The Elegant Faceted Gems are also a must for your wish list. The Shimmery Gray Granite Ribbon is so silky and shiny. It adds so much to the card.

This second card is super simple and quick. I was inspired by Dena, that I had to create a similar card like hers. This features the new In-Color Magenta Madness. It's striking with the black cardstock.

I love the texture the large flower has from being stamped onto the Peony Garden DSP. The scalloped Lace Trim really gives the card an antique feel. 

The last card for class features the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. I stamped the smaller flower with Pool Party. Then I embossed the cardstock. What a great texture!

I really wanted you to see the Elegant Faceted Gems up close. This really shows the detail of the gems. I cannot get enough of these!

Okay, since I love the new Peony Garden DSP, I wanted to share it with you. You can win a package of the Peony Garden DSP. Here are the details.

• Create a card using your favorite floral DSP
• Send or upload your project by June 30th (by 6:00 pm PST) to be entered.
• The winner will be announced July 1st

Have fun with this challenge. It is really wide open for your design. You simply need to feature your favorite floral DSP and create! You can't win if you don't participate (as my mom always said).

Thanks again for stopping by. I love sharing my love for stamping. I'd love to see your stamping creations for this challenge. Be sure to check out all the great promotions going on this month.

Make it Monday with Fancy Phrases and Peony Garden DSP

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for joining me on this Make it Monday blog post. I'm so thrilled to share a card today that focuses on all new products from the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. I shared some new products on a Facebook Live Saturday and didn't quite finish creating a card. 

The beautiful Peony Garden Designer Series Paper is the stand out on this card. Every design of this DSP is fabulous!. I decided to use the Fancy Phrases Stamp set because the style of this set fits perfectly with the Peony Garden DSP. The style of the floral stamp also allows you to create beautifully colored flowers. The shaded areas help you know where the darker or shaded areas would be. This make coloring so easy!

There are several sayings with this stamp set that make this a very versatile set for many occasions. 

Thanks again for stopping by. I love sharing my love for stamping. I'd love to hear from you too on your stamping creations. Be sure to check out all the great promotions going on this month.

Finding Inspiration Friday with Flowers for Every Season and Jar of Flowers

Hi Everyone,

I'm so happy you have joined me for some inspiration today. I am so excited to share my project with you. The products I'm highlighting today are from the Flowers for Every Season Suite of products from the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. 

One of the things that makes the Jar of Flowers so fantastic is the size of the floral pieces and the Jar Punch. These flowers are perfect for your coloring tools. I used the new 2020-2022 In Color Stampin' Blends as well as Daffodil Delight Blends. What I love is that I put little effort into the coloring and my flowers look fabulous! Blends make everything so smooth and beautiful.

Another wonderful product in the new annual catalog is the Vellum Square Doilies. There are 24 doilies in the package and they are stunning! You can add so much to your projects using them. I colored a piece of the doily with the Marvelous Magenta Stampin' Blend. Because the Stampin' Blends are alcohol markers, it's easy to color on all types of materials and you won't have any bleeding or smearing. I love the variation of colors that happened.

I hope you have enjoyed the project I created today and much as I did. This was the first card I have created with the Jar of Flowers Stamp set and now I am hooked. And what about that wonderful Bumble Bee gingham bow?!

Well thanks again for stopping by today. I hope you are inspired to stamp and create cards to brighten someone's day. This card is going to my niece to let her know I'm thinking of her. Be sure to check out all the wonderful specials and promotions going on this month.
