Eastern Palace/Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack by Stampin' Up!

If I were asked to describe my card style, I'd have to say that my preference is clean and simple.  I'm not a frou-frou person in decor or clothing or anything else.

With that thought in mind, I designed this card.  The 2017/2018 annual catalogue features some DSP with a black background and I have to admit, I think a very striking card can be created using black card stock.

 The new Lemon Lime Twist knows my name and calls to me often.  The colour is absolutely 'delicious'.  Watch this space for more cards using it.

The Joy of Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue

Have you ever had a day when you want to make a card, but you just don't have an inspiration to get you going?  That would be a great time to head for your copy of the Stampin' Up! annual catalogue.  There are hundreds of fabulous card ideas contained between those pages.

I know that if you are like me, you will go through that catalogue more than once.  Here is what mine looks like (and I've only had it a couple of weeks!):

Those post it notes across the top are pages marked with items I intend to purchase aka my wish list.  And the orange tags down the right side mark cards samples that I plan to use as inspiration or to CASE. (Copy And Share Everything).

Here's the card I CASEd from Page 134 of the catalogue two days ago; (I love the soft pastel shades which I'd not normally use.)

Though it's not 100% identical to the one in the catalogue, it's close enough to mention that I CASEd it.

Following is the supply list for what I used to create this card.  Feel free to CASE mine or to go back to the catalogue to create your own version.

As always,  clicking on a supply in the list below will take you directly to my store to make a purchase.

Color Theory Memories & More Card Pack by Stampin' Up!

I recently added the Color Theory Memories & More Card Pack to my stash of card making supplies.  No, I do not intend to do scrapbooking with them.  I added them to make cards.  This card pack is full of gorgeous designs that will lend themselves perfectly to card making.  I'm looking forward to creating several different cards as the seasons move along.

The card pack comes with 72 double sided cards in two sizes and the designs coordinate beautifully with the Colourful Seasons stamp set and thinlits.  In fact, you'll find it all on pages 146 and 147 of the just launched 2017-2018 annual Stampin' Up! catalogue.

Here are the two cards from the pack that I started with:

Aren't they pretty?  I just couldn't resist them, and the yellow hexagons inspired me to emboss with the Hexagon Embossing Folder and to add bumble bees to the card.  Take a look at the finished card:

I echoed the blossoms on the original card by stamping and die cutting them to give the card some dimension.

And I can tell you for sure, I'll be collecting more of the Memories & More Card Packs to turn into cards!

This Little Piggy Stamp Set by Stampin' Up!

I had noticed the "This Little Piggy" stamp set in the brand new Stampin' Up! annual catalogue and though I thought it was cute, I had no intention of buying it.

Then I attended a workshop last weekend and the stamp set was included in the cost of the workshop.  One of the cards we made at the workshop used the Piggy and when I got home, I couldn't wait to make another card.  I have fallen in love with these little piggies!

They are so darn cute and the sentiment which says: "She Believed She Could...So She Did." is my favourite.  It makes a perfect card to send to someone who needs a lift.

Here's a video of the steps to make the card:

Here's my completed card. Below it you will find all of the supplies I used to make it.  Just click on the supplies you need to be taken directly to my online store.
