Did you know that those fun alcohol-based Stampin’ Blends markers doubled in color selection with this new 2018-19 Annual Catalog?
These 11 additional colors (22 new markers – two shades of each color) weren’t available right away when the catalog started, but we really didn’t have to wait too long. On June 28th all the colors were ready. I ordered them right away, but didn’t get around to playing with them until last weekend. Here is one of the cards I made. It features several new products: Highland Heather Blends Combo Pack, Granny Apple Green Blends Combo Pack, Gorgeous Grape & Granny Apple Green cardstock, Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle ribbon, and images from the Beautiful Promenade stamp set.
Measurements:
Granny Apple Green Cardstock: 11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″ and folded for the card base & scrap for punching 2-1/4″ circle
Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock: 4″ x 5-1/4″ & scrap for stamping and punching 2-1/4″ circle
Gorgeous Grape Cardstock: 4″ x 4″
Shimmery White Cardstock: 3-7/8″ x 3-7/8″ & 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″
Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon: 13″ and 5″
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions:
Stamp the sentiment onto the Lemon Lime Twist scrap, and then punch out with the 2-1/4″ Circle Punch so that the words are toward the bottom half of the circle.
Stamp the front card images onto the 3-7/8″ x 3-7/8″ Shimmery White Cardstock piece. Stamp the inside card images onto the 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″ Shimmery White Cardstock piece.
Color the leaf images with the Granny Apple Green Blends. Color the flower with the Highland Heather Blends. (If you have never colored with Stampin’ Blends markers, click here for my Stampin’ Blends 101 Video.)
Without removing them from the sheet yet, color the pearls with the Granny Apple Green Blends.
Attach the 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″ Shimmery White Cardstock piece to the 4″ x 5-1/4″ Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock piece. And then attach this layered piece to the inside of the card.
Tie on the 13″ of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and tie it on the inside of the card. Trim the ends.
Attach the 3-7/8″ x 3-7/8″ Shimmery White Cardstock piece to the 4″ x 4″ Gorgeous Grape Cardstock piece. And then attach this layered piece to the outside front of the card.
Tie the 5″ piece of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon onto the front side of the ribbon already on the card. Trim the ends.
Attach the 2-1/4″ Lemon Lime Twist circle to the 2-1/4″ Granny Apple Green circle as shown. Then adhere to the top area of the card so that the words are lined up correctly and below the top edge of the card. Trim off the excess.

Stampin’ Up!’s designer paper is typically double-sided. That means that taping it down onto a project forces you to pick only one side to show off. And that’s great if the other side doesn’t “float your boat.” But if you like both sides, then this is a card design will allow you to share BOTH sides! (This was a make-n-take that my Stampers With ART Stars got to make last week during our online team event on Facebook.)
The measurement of the designer paper is only 4″ wide, so you can see a border of the solid colored cardstock all the way around when closed. Cutting it this way also allows you to get 6 pieces from one 12″ x 12″ sheet with this 4″ x 5-1/4″ measurement. Bonus – you use your paper wisely, too! (If you are a designer series paper fan, then you may want to check out the BUY 3, GET ONE FREE promotion happening this month.)
Measurements:
Shaded Spruce Cardstock: 5-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 1″ and folded for the card base
Smoky Slate Cardstock: scrap for stamping and punching the 2-1/4″ circle
Calypso Coral Cardstock: 3-1/2″ 4-3/4″
Animal Expedition Designer paper: 4″ x 5-1/4″
Basic Black Twine: 30-32″
Products: See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Directions:
Stamp and punch the sentiment piece making sure the sentiment is right justified in the circle. Add adhesive to the back.
Fold the card base piece on the score line and reinforce the fold using the Bone Folder.
Lay the designer paper under the 1″ wide area of the card base so that it is centered on the “inside” of the card. Fold the 1″ wide section over as you tuck in and adhere the sentiment circle. Make sure your designer paper stays centered as you position and adhere the circle.
Now add adhesive under the 1″ wide area, center that designer paper again and press the 1″ wide area down to stick it to the designer paper.
Wrap the twine twice around and tie in a bow.
Add a leaf trinket with 1 or 2 Glue Dots.
Open up the card and add the inside cardstock layer.
I made two more cards with this designer paper and just changed out the main two cardstocks colors.
If you decide to recreate this, I’d love to see what cards you come up with. Always feel free to email me!
I was excited to receive this card. And Ashley gave me permission to share it. Yay! Isn’t it fun?! Another layout idea. 🙂

I’m up at the my parents’ cabin with my two boys celebrating the 4th of July US holiday with family. My husband, Tim is at home though. We miss him. He couldn’t take any more vacation days right now with our Stampin’ Up! incentive trip, our Alaskan cruise just a couple weeks away. And we would MUCH rather he take his vacation days for that. 😉
The forecast was calling for rainy days, but so far we’ve enjoyed two full days of nice weather. I haven’t convinced Nick to join us down at the lake. He’s still healing from the broken knee and doesn’t want to just sit and watch everyone have fun in the water. But Luke is having a great time in the water with cousin, Robbie. And my wonderful parents have been entertaining Nick. Yesterday Grandpa took Nicholas fishing and Grandma played board games with him.
I received my June swap cards from my monthly swap group about a week ago, so I thought I would share a few of them today. The cards I made as my contribution to the June swap were the Dandelion Landscape Easel Cards that I shared on June 30th. Below are six of the 13 swap cards I received. (I haven’t photographed the other 7 yet, so I’ll have to share them later.)
The talented demonstrator that made each card is named in the photo. These all feature new products from the 2018-19 Annual Catalog that debuted June 1st. I wish I could give you a supply list for each card, but that would take a bit of time to contact everyone who made each card. So instead I’ll just mention the stamp sets that are featured.
Sandy used the Painted Glass set on page 165. And I need to point out the beautiful Petal Promenade designer paper background since this paper pack is one of the 10 sets being offered in the BUY 3, GET ONE FREE promotion happening this month.
Julie used Dandelion Wishes, one of my most FAVORITE new sets (found on page 118).
And look at this fun fold! Cindy made this card with the Love What You Do set on page 177.
This last card with images from the Rooted In Nature set (found on page 143) by Brenda Cardinal shows off how stunning just basic “ink, paper and stamps” (the 3 basics) can be.
I wish you a safe and happy 4th of July! Thanks for visiting today.

Sorry I haven’t blogged in a few days. We are in the midst of a huge garage sale. And I have 20+ crafters that contributed to the sale. We’ve sold a lot, but it is time consuming to say the least. And in the evening after the sale is closed down for the day, we have to make sure all the earnings for each crafter total up and equal the money in the till.
It’s a 24/7 event during the days of the event and it takes hours of prep in the days leading up, but it’s so fun to see everyone benefit: shoppers get great deals and sellers can purge items they won’t be using anymore. It’s quite fun!
With my busy first half of June (the product shares and this sale), I had very little time to put together birthday cards for my team members with June birthdays. So I got smart and took out my Delightfully Detailed Memories & More Card Pack and my Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. Then I designed and put together two of each of these cards – 10 cards in just a few short hours.
Supplies I used: (See below for a full list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.)
Here are a few close up photos of each of them.
With this first one I used a 4″ x 6″ M&M card (the black with the speckles) and a 3″ x 4″ M&M card (the white with the watercolor wash along the edges) for the background layers. Then I added a scallop circle sticker and a label sticker that I stamped, trimmed and embellished with ribbon and a rhinestone.
This second card has a 4″ x 6″ M&M card on the base (tied with some pretty copper-edged Coastal Cabana Tea Room Ribbon) that says “colllect moments not things” in white script lettering. I covered most of the lettering so that only a little bit peeked out and looked like a white looping design. Before adding the “Let’s Celebrate Today” 4″ x 3″ M&M card on top, I added loops of Copper Thread peeking out along the right edge AND a couple strips from another 3″ x 4″ M&M card to the top and bottom of this sentiment card.
This was the easiest card to put together. I made it with two 4″ x 6″ M&M cards from the pack. I trimmed a one-inch section off the top and bottom of the one with the “happy birthday” sentiment and added ruffled ribbon underneath before adhering it to the card with Dimensionals. A rhinestone accents the letter i.
Oh! The scraps didn’t go to waste. I used those 1″ x 6″ black strips for the last card.
This fourth card was put together with just two 4″ x 3″ M&M cards layered on top of each other, a sticker from the pack up on Dimensionals and some rhinestones. To attach the black laser-cut card to the Blackberry Bliss watercolor washed card, sponge on some Multipurpose Liquid Glue on the back side of the laser-cut card, stick it onto the slightly larger watercolor wash card, and trim the excess.
I added the two 1″ x 6″ black strips (scraps from the 3rd card) to the floral patterned 4″ x 6″ M&M card for this last card design. I then covered up the seam by wrapping and tying the card with the Silver Metallic-Edge Ribbon. Finally I added a stamped sticker for the sentiment and embellished it with a simple, single rhinestone.
I really love how easy it was to put together fast and easy birthday cards with the Memories & More card packs and card/envelope packs. CLICK HERE to see the new 2018-19 M&M card pack selections currently in my online store.
I’m off to my garage now for the last day of my sale! Have a great weekend.

I’ve been busy working on Product Shares for the last 7 days. And thankfully I’ve also had several people helping me out so I can get them in the mail as quickly as possible: Vicki (pictured below), Patty, Nancy, Kayla, Tricia, Alissa, Violet, my mom, Margo and my son, Nick (pictured below).
My shares are never promised to go out this early. In fact, mailing them by June 18th was my original plan. But I expedited several products when I ordered for the shares so that I’d have plenty of time to sort embellishments, wrap ribbons and cut papers.
I worked on them pretty much every day (with lots of help) since last Tuesday.
I shipped a few envelopes right away, and just yesterday my second group of packages went out the door.
I only have about 10 more packages left (because I’m waiting on order corrections on a couple products), and those will go out this Friday.
Because I haven’t had much time to create lately, I thought this would be the perfect time to show off a few more swap cards that I haven’t shared with you yet. These are swap cards from those creative demos in my monthly swap group. Names of the demonstrators who made the cards are in the watermarks of the photos. I hope you enjoy these lovely creations!
Thank you to all of my helpers AND… Thank you to everyone who purchased shares for the 2018-19 Annual Catalog! I hope you enjoy all your new goodies when you get them. We sure had a great time seeing it all when we packaged it up!
