Simply Succulents Bundle with Granny Apple Green

  Hiya, Stampers!     I played around this weekend with my most recent SU! bundle, Simply Succulents.  Lots of fun to color with our Stampin' Blends because the color range for succulents is endless, as you can see below.    

STAMPIN' UP! COUNTRY FLORAL DYNAMIC TIEF with SPONGE DAUBERS and FABLE FRIENDS

Image
Hi, Stampers!      Oh my goodness, I just love this little guy/girl? girl from the Fable Friends set in the Occasions Catalog (p.30).  I plan to use this sweetie and the adorable rabbit to make tags for simple Easter favors, too - I'll post them here.  The details for this card follow. Happy Stampin’! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net

SALE-A-BRATION - ANOTHER COUNTRY FLORAL DYNAMIC TIEF SAMPLE

Image
Hello, Stampers!       Looks like March will be coming in like a lion in Indiana, so it's time for something to cheer us up!       Do you ever wonder how we made cards without the Big Shot?  I love the SAB, Phase 2 Country Floral Dynamic TIEF, don't you?  I posted a quick, monochromatic card on Feb 22, which you can see HERE .       I used Shimmery White CS for the embossed area, inked the TIEF with Soft Sea Foam, and colored the flowers and leaves with Stampin' Blends.  The mat and base are Pear Pizzaz and Petal Pink, the ribbon is Pear Pizzaz Shimmer.  Supplies are on my blog. Happy Stampin’! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net

Stampin' Up!® LASTING LILY SYMPATHY CARD

Image
Hello, Stampers -      The majority of the sentiments in the Lasting Lily Stamp Set (FREE with $100 order) are for sympathy cards.  In yesterday's post, I shared an Easter card.  I came across the embossed lily idea online and since it seemed to show best on black, I figured this one should definitely be a sympathy card, much as we hate to have to send them.  Let's get started!        You can find a product list on my blog . Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net Instructions Card base is WW Thick CS; the Daffodil Delight layer is 4 x 5-1/4 and the black started out as 5 x 3-3/4.  Scraps of Shimmery White and Daffodil for the sentiment. Lightly dust the black cs with the Embossing Buddy, then stamp Lily, stem and leaf with Versamark ink; cover with White EP and heat emboss. Cut a curved edge on the black cs by hand or use the curved edge die from the In the Woods Framelits Dies, placing die at roughly 1" from right edge of black at top and bottom. Highlight

STAMPIN' UP!® BOTANICAL BUTTERFLY GALA and GRAPEFRUIT GROVE FOIL - February 2019 STAMP CAMP

Image
Hello, Stampers!     I've got three versions of this card to share today, using different embossing folders and a variation of butterflies.  The front and center above is my favorite because I like this embossed background the best - it is the new Dot to Dot TIEF in the Occasions Catalog, p.25.  Below are the other two.  I imagine a background with the new Flower Garden Dynamic TIEF (SAB 2) would be gorgeous, as well. Basket Weave TIEF      Swirls & Curls TIEF      DO YOU NOTICE ANYTHING ELSE different about one of these samples?  The butterflies on the card with the Basket Weave background were not stamped, they were punched out of the Botanical Butterfly FREE DSP!  Can it get any easier?  Instructions are below (on my blog). Happy Stampin’! Sue Duffy ~ mandsduffy@comcast.net

STAMPIN' UP! HOME TO ROOST AGAIN - YOU JUST CAN'T CAS AN ARTISAN - i GAVE IT A SHOT

Image
Hiya, Stampers!      Yes, it's Home to Roost again.  I saw a wonderful watercolor card with this set and had to CAS!  Well, I attempted, to CAS this card by Emma Goddard, who is a member of the SU! 2019 Artisan Design Team - silly me!  Emma's looks much more like art.  Click the photo below to go to her blog for more info.  In the meantime, I will list products below - I used the same colors as Emma, but added a strip of DSP at the bottom.. NOTE:  these cards were water-colored, so Emma and I both used Jet Black Stazon on Shimmery White.  You could also use Watercolor Paper. Happy Stampin’!

TWO VERSIONS OF STAMPIN' UP!'s HOME TO ROOST - FREE with $50 ORDER DURING SAB

Image
Version 1 Hello, Stampers!      I love this stamp set - not just because it's FREE during Sale-A-Bration, but because it's just different and it can be colored in so many ways!  The rooster was stamped in Memento and we used a combination of Stampin' Blends and Stampin' Write Markers at stamp camp, but since we used Shimmery White CS.  You can also watercolor this handsome fellow on Shimmery White or WC paper.  We used the retired Snowflake Doilies in gold as an accent because my customers already have them and they, to me, look like feathers!  We added Gold Faceted Gems as an additional accent.        The card base and Tin Tile embossed layer are Tranquil Tide - both the embossed layer and the oval are popped up with Dimensionals.  In Version 1, the oval is the largest of the ovals from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.   We masked the rooster in order to stamp the background wheat (?) in regular and stamped-off Crumb Cake.   You'll have to vis it my B

IT'S ALMOST HERE! STAMPIN' UP!® OCCASIONS CATALOG and SALE-A-BRATION

                HI, STAMPERS!      They're almost live - the 2019 Stampin' Up!® Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration.  Have you looked through your catalogs, yet?  How many times?  ;-)  Did you receive yours in the mail?  If you are one of my customers and you did not, let me know and I will get it them to you.     I had planned to share some video tutorials with you for some of the new products, but I am unable to get the links to work.  I'm sure some of you have seen the tutorials linked on Patty Bennett's blog, so maybe those demos who attended this year's On Stage were given early access.  Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to share them until January 3, although I am able to watch them.  In fact, all of the product videos from the Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration will be available to you on January 3 at youtube.com/stampinup .

COMING IN JANUARY! CLING STAMPS BY STAMPIN' UP!®

Image
Hello, Stampers!     How many of you (us) have stopped adding the labels to our rubber/clear mount stamps because they don't always stay put like they should on the clear block?  I raise my hand!!👋 I've always preferred to use the label images to help with placement, but it just got frustrating that some wouldn't stick properly, so I pretty much don't use them.  However , SU! listened to our grumblings and starting with Sale-A-Bration (SAB) and the 2019 Occasions Catalog, all NEW stamp sets will be offered in Cling or Photopolymer - wood-mount stamps will be phased out except for Background Stamps.     For more details, click "read more" below.
