Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog and Sale - a - Bration!

The Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog 2017 is now live! You are going to love it! It's filled with  new product that will help you to create beautiful and amazing projects! 


My FAVORITE new product in this catalog is the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and coordinating Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies. 



Look at the detail in this set! The bee is an added bonus!! You do need a Big Shot of course for the Thinlits but the stamp set is just as useful and versatile if you do not own a Big Shot. The dies make it easy to cut out the images. I will say that my Big Shot is THE most used tool in my studio. I use it all the time. 

For this card I paired the Dragonfly Dreams with the new scrumptious Falling in Love Designer Series paper. It's just gorgeous! The Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate I used in the background makes this card a wow.

Paisleys & Posies Thankful, Grateful, Blessed card

A quick and easy card made using the Paisleys & Posies stamp set and coordinating Paisleys Framelits Dies. These two products come together in a bundle with a 10% savings, or they can be purchased separately. I also used a touch of the Petals & Paisleys Designer Paper.

Here are the details:
  • Cajun Craze card base - 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2" and folded for the card
  • Very Vanilla cardstock layer - 3-1/2" x 5-1/2"
  • Petals & Paisleys paper - 1/2" x 5-1/2" and adhered to the sides of the vanilla cardstock
  • Ink colors - Mint Macaron, Night of Navy, Delightful Dijon, Cajun Craze, Rich Razzleberry, Soft Suede
  • I stamped three of the images and cut them out using the matching framelit and popped them up on the card with dimensionals 
What I love most about Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Papers, besides the designs, is easily picking a color scheme for my project based on the colors in the paper which of course are our exclusive colors. I just grab my ink pads and cardstock and create!

Paisleys & Posies Card


Create a card  using the Paisleys & Posies stamp set and coordinating designer paper. I added a few other elements to complete this card.

Details: 
  • Mint Macaron card base 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 folded in half
  • Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper 5-1/4 x 4 
  • Very Vanilla layer 3-3/4 x 5
  • Very Vanilla piece for the sentiment 1/2 x 4 , stamped with Basic Gray ink, sponged edges in Mint Macaron, wrap a piece of Copper Thread around the end
  • I stamped the large paisley using Rich Razzleberry ink and colored in using Mint Macaron, Delightful Dijon and Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Write Markers
  • Leaf image stamped using Delightful Dijon ink
  • I added two rows of washi tape and cut a piece of Petals paper 1/2 x 3-3/4 for the bottom   

It's always fun to make the inside look pretty too! I used a piece of washi tape on top of the 3-3/4 piece of Very Vanilla cardstock and stamped the leaf image above a piece of the designer paper cut 1/2 x 3-3/4.
