May 2020 Virtual Stamping Fun Night


Virtual Stamping Fun Night was lots of fun!  I'm so glad so many of you were able to stamp with us on Facebook!  I demonstrated one card, and everyone could do 3 make-n-takes.  It was fun to see everyone's cards when they were done stamping!




The Perennial Essence Designer Paper is so pretty!

Love What You Do

accessories
Whisper White medium envelope
Pearlized Doilies
Basic Jewels Pearls
dimensionals

TIPS:
Attach half of a Pearlized Doily to the back of the card stock.  Then add 2 small pieces of Whisper White card stock as “ribbon”.




Designer Paper is a stamper's best friend!  This is also Perennial Essence Designer Paper, but the "back" side.  It's more subtle, but adds a lot more dimension than just card stock!

Stitched Nested Labels dies

This is what the card was originally going to look like...Until I realized I didn't have very much Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped Ribbon left!

Here's the card we made.  I like both of them!

TIPS:
-Put adhesive on the vellum only where it will be covered up by the daisy.  
-Set the square with the daisy on the card before attaching the card stock/ribbon so it is where you want it.


Aren't split-panel; cards fun?!?!


The top and bottom parts of the front of the card are separate, until you attach them with another piece of card stock!  Just make sure you line everything up before you adhere it all together!

paper

Whisper White 

accessories

TIPS:
-The Night of Navy is 4 ¼” x 7 ½”, then scored at 2”.
-Line up the bottom panel with the bottom of the card.  Then attach the card stock with the image on it so it is attached to both the top and bottom pieces.

Card Stock Storage AND Sneak Peek- NEW 2020-2022 In Colors!

I've stored my card stock in plastic hanging file folder boxes for years!  I love the way I can easily flip through the colors, and see a whole color family at once.  These boxes keep out light, and my paper is never crushed on the edges.  






I keep extra packs of card stock on hand, and this box works perfect for storing these, too!  I don't use file folders in this box.  It's full enough with packs of card stock!



Did you peek in the second storage box and see the NEW InColors??  They are going to be so much fun to paper craft with!!  They will be available June 3, 2020.  Here they are:


And, of course, Stampin' Up! gave them fun names, too!
Bumblebee
Cinnamon Cider
Just Jade
Magenta Madness
Misty Moonlight

These colors are available 2020-2022.

Do you have a favorite?!?!

Life is Beautiful card


The Perennial Essence Designer Paper is gong to be hard to say good-bye to in June!  It is soooo beautiful!  It's like I'm working with a masterpiece every time I make a card or project with it!


I wanted to use up some pieces I had left over from other projects.  I had a few pieces that were          2 3/4" wide.  I added some coordinating card stock, and I was all set!  I was able to make 3 cards!  What a great feeling!


stamps- Colorful Seasons
ink- Blackberry Bliss
paper- Blackberry Bliss, Petal Pink, Whisper White, Perennial Essence Designer Paper
accessories- Layering Ovals dies, stamping sponge, dimensionals

Did you notice the sneak-peek of some new Designer Series Paper??  
It's behind the card!  It almost looks like I got a new wooden desk!  
I love it!


Don't let your Designer Paper sit in a drawer!  Find a happy home for it on a card!

You Make Me Smile!


I had fun making this card and, honestly, they look better than any flowers I try to grow myself!  My mom and siblings have green thumbs, but that gene must have pasted me by!


I used a blender pen to blend in a little color in the flower petals a little. Blender pens work great with water based ink pads!  It pulls in just a little color! 


Don’t forget to make the inside special, too!


Stamps- Pop of Petals, Colorful Seasons, Beautiful Bouquet
Ink- Rococo Rose, Mint Macaron, Crushed Curry
Paper- Rococo Rose, Mint Macaron, Very Vanilla
Accessories- medium Whisper White envelope, Perennial Essence Floral Centers, Four Petal Flower punch, dimensionals

Magnolia Lane Designer Paper cards

I was going through my designer paper today, and realized I just had a little bit of Magnolia Lane Designer Paper left. That paper is soooo pretty!  I knew I wanted to make something with it, and not just stick it back in the drawer. Here’s what I did with it:
