07.19.19…..Happy Friday, everyone! The weekend is almost here, and summer is heating up quickly in Northern California! Time for trips to the lake, outdoor barbeques, and…..linen. Linen…huh??? I love to wear cool, linen clothing when then temperatures starting climbing and that, my stampin’ friends, was the inspiration for this card. Subtle shades, neutral colors, linen-like textures, and even Linen Thread were incorporated into this design. Hope you enjoy it!
07.12.19…..Welcome to Friday afternoon, my stampin’ friends! Once again, this week has seemed to just fly by! I have to say that I love the title of this blog post, because “simply wonderful” is one of the best ways to describe the new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog. The “wonderfulness” of the new catalog is beyond…!
Those of you that follow my blog know that I love to add dimension and texture, using a mix embossing folders, DSP, accessories, and more. That being said, today’s card is an fun blend of many of those products.
UPDATE (07.15.19)…..This morning, I was excited to find out my card was not only one of the winners for this week’s Global Design Project #197 (#GDPwinner), I was also honored to be chosen as the Guest Designer for the next Global Design Project Color Challenge! I can’t wait to see what the color combo will be! 😃
07.12.19…..It’s hard to believe the weekend is almost here! Hope you are able to squeeze in a little time these next few days to do something creative! That being said, my “something creative” was inspired by this week’s Global Design Project Color Challenge (#GDP197). I also had not used my Butterfly Gala stamp set in awhile, and I thought it would be just perfect for this project!
070519…..Welcome to Friday, everyone! Hope y’all had a wonderful 4th of July! It was a gorgeous day here in Northern California…with lots of festive, local celebrations and events. So much fun!
The new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up Catalog is in full-swing, and I just can get enough of all of the amazing new products! One of my new favs is the Stitched Nested Label Dies. While the dies are just perfect for creating cards, I’ve also been using them for other projects as well…..such as my “little pockets of goodness”. I thought that name was quite fitting, since each pocket is filled with one of my favorite little chocolate squares!
06.28.19…..Omg! Where has the week gone? Hope everyone is have a wonderful Friday afternoon! In my last post, I mentioned that I’ve become obsessed with the new To a Wild Rose Bundle. And…..I will continue to stand by that statement! However, this time I paired it with the Parcels & Petals Bundle as well. I’ve mentioned several times how much I love mixing products from different bundles and suites. It’s so much fun to pick and choose products to create my own “custom blend”. Hope y’all enjoy it!
Whenever you order a one of the many amazing “bundles” that Stampin’ Up has to offer, versus buying the products individually, you will automatically receive a 10% discount!
(This includes the To A Wild Rose Bundle and the Parcels & Petals Bundle that I used to create this card.)
06.21.19…..Happy Friday, stampers! I have to admit that it took me a minute to start creating cards and projects with the new To a Wild Rose Bundle. However, I’ve quickly become obsessed with it! That being said, I couldn’t help creating another card with this gorgeous set! (By the way…..for those of you who also love to layer, this card should defintely fill that niche!)
06.20.19…..Hope y’all are having a wonderful Thursday! Here in Northern California, it’s been a gorgeous last day of Spring…..80 degrees and clear, blue skies. I’m doing my best to soak it all in, as I know those 100+ degree days are just around the corner!
In my opinion, there is never “not” a good time to let those special people know how grateful you are to have them in your life. Who doesn’t like to know that someone appreciates them? That being said, the new To a Wild Rose Bundle is just perfect to create all of those cards and projects to celebrate those treasured friendships. I am also participating in the Global Design Project Sketch Challenge (#GDP194) this week, so I thought this bundle would be just perfect to use for my card!
06.14.19…..Happy Friday, my stampin’ friends! The new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog has so many wonderful bundles and suites! It makes is super easy to “grab and go” when you need to create a card or project at a moment’s notice. However, the thing I also love about so many of the Stampin’ Up products, is how well they “cross-coordinate” with one another.
That being said, I created this card using the Bloom & Grow Bundle (Bloom & Grow Stamp Set + Budding Blooms Dies). However, I also added in the following products from the Woven Threads Suite…..Woven Threads Designer Series Paper, Woven Threads Trim, and the Woven Threads Sequin Assortment. It’s definitely an unexpected combo!
UPDATE: 06.17.19…..This morning, I was excited to find out that my Bloom & Grow card (that I posted on 06/12/19) was one of the winners for this week’s Global Design Project #193 (#GDPwinner). 😃
06.12.19…..Welcome to Wednesday, everyone! And…welcome to the brand NEW 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog! It seems that each and every Stampin’ Up catalog is full of amazingly wonderful products, and this new catalog certainly doesn’t disappoint!
This week, I’m participating in the latest Global Design Project (#GDP193) Color Challenge, and I thought the NEW Bloom & Grow Bundle would be just perfect for this card. Don’t forget…..you can save 10% by ordering the Bloom & Grow Bundle (Bloom & Grow Stamp Set + Budding Blooms Dies)!
05.31.19…..Welcome to Thursday, stampers! I just love the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper from the new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up Annual Catalog! I also love chocolate (…a lot!!!), so I figured why not combine the Bird Ballad DSP with a sweet chocolate treat. And that my stampin’ friends, is the inspiration for these pretty little candy bar wrappers.
