Stampin up cards

Beautiful Wisteria for Day 20 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog. Stampin’ Up’s Wisteria Wishes Bundle can be found on page 92 of their annual catalog.

This lovely card was made by Ellen Woodbridge. The only stamp Ellen used was for the sentiment. The rest of the card was made using just the dies. I love how intricate the leaf dies are.

The stamp set includes 5 floral/leafy images as well as five lovely sentiments including this “hang in there”.

The brick background was made using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. It sets off the die cuts perfectly.

The label that the sentiment is stamped on is from the Stylish Shapes Dies which is a set of stitched circles, squares and labels of various sizes. A definite must for any craft room.

Hmmm…should I put this bundle on my wish list too? That darn list keeps getting longer and longer!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

For Day 19 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog I’m sharing another gorgeous suite of products with you.

The Sun Prints Suite is a must to check out. It can be found on pages 90-91 of the catalog.

In my opinion, the Sun Prints Designer Series Paper is the highlight of this suite. It is absolutely gorgeous in shades of blue and gray. Unfortunately, the card I picked for today doesn’t have any of the designer paper on it. Be sure to click on the link to see all of the beautiful patterns.

Thank you to Peggy Noe for sharing this card. Peggy used the Nature’s Prints stamp set and the Fern 3D Embossing Folder on her caNrd. Isn’t the font used on the sentiment nice? The stamp set includes four floral and leafy images and four sentiments in this beautiful font. The Natural Prints Dies cut out some of the images, a wreath, and a tag that the sentiments can fit on.

I’m afraid I’ve added another suite of products to my wish list! The Sun Prints Suite will work for almost any occasion. Be sure to check it out!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

What a beautiful card for Day 18 of 30 Days of the New Catalog! This card was made using the lovely Heron Habitat Bundle.

I’m not a big bird person but all the cards I’ve seen made with this bundle are gorgeous! This card made by Connie Babbert with Pool Party, Sahara Sand and Black is so striking! Thank you Connie for sharing it.

There are three different birds in the stamp set, five sentiments and a few other stamps. Don’t you love this tag? There’s another on like it in a different size. I’m almost tempted to buy this bundle just for the sentiments and the tags! 🙂

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

It’s the Tea Boutique Suite for Day 16 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog! I do love this bundle! It was the first item on my new catalog preorder back in April. Last week in my newsletter I shared the bridal shower invitations I made with it.

Thank you to Windy Ellard for sharing this sweet card. She used the Tea Boutique Cards and Envelopes. These are one of my favorite parts of the suite. They’re not just for tea time! I’m looking forward to using them with other stamp sets.

The Cup of Tea stamp set has two different cup stamps, some flowers and greenery, tea tags, a lemon slice and 10 little sentiments! So fun!

I can’t wait to get back to my craft room and play with this suite some more! Is it on your wish list? 🙂

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Can you believe we’re half way though our 30 Days of the New Catalog? Day 15 brings us a bright and cheerful card made with the Sending Smiles Bundle that you can find on page 14 of Stampin’ Up!’s new Annual Catalog.

The highlight of this bundle is the two-step “Sending” dies. There is a die for the cursive word and then a background die to highlight it. Included in the stamp set there are 8 different phrases that go with the word “Sending” along with floral and greenery stamps.

The frame on the card was die cut using the Fabulous Frames Dies. Such a fun card! Thank you to Karen Henderson for sharing it!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Happy Flag Day on Day 14 of 30 Days of the New Catalog! Don’t you love this card? So creative!

This card was made using the new Brushed Shapes Dies on page 170. This is one of those cards you look at and say “how did she come up with that idea?”. I don’t think I ever would have thought of it.

This set of dies has 9 different shapes including a couple of hearts and some circles. The longer red stripes on the card are actually two “squiggles” put together.

Thank you to Cindy Coutts for this creative idea. It’s perfect for Flag Day and would make a great card for the 4th of July too or any type of patriotic occasion.

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

A cute and simple get well card for Day 13 of our 30 Days of the New Catalog. At some point, we all know someone who could use a little cheering up when they’re under-the-weather.

This card by Laura Milligan is fun and simple and can be made in any color. Laura used Orchid Oasis and the Speedy Recovery stamp set found on page 76 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog.

This stamp set has fun images and sweet sentiments to choose from. Yep, another item for my wish list! How about you?

Day 12 of 30 Days of the New Catalog brings another beautiful floral card. This card was made using the gorgeous Awash In Beauty in Suite of products found on pages 66-67 in Stampin’ Up!’s new annual catalog.

I think my favorite part of this suite is the lattice die from the Organic Beauty Dies that you can see on the background of this card. So pretty!

The True Beauty stamp set has lovely soft flowers and four different sentiments in a beautiful font.

Thank you Julie Gilson (again) for the gorgeous card. I shared one of Julie’s cards yesterday. (Apparently I really like her style!) 🙂

I do have the Awash in Beauty Designer Paper (which is gorgeous!), but I think I’m going to have to add this bundle to my wish list. Hmmm…this wish list of mine is getting rather long…..

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

A lovely pot of geraniums for Day 11 of 30 Days of the New Catalog. This fun easel card was made using the Potted Geraniums Bundle that can be found on page 58 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog.

Yikes! Another bundle added to my wish list! I like geraniums and usually have a pot of them on my front porch during the summer.

Thank you Julie Gilson for sharing this beautiful card! I love the dimension that Julie add to her card with the popped up flowers and flower pot. I’m pretty sure I will be making my own version of this card when this bundle is finally on the shelf in my craft room!

The Potted Geraniums stamp set has 9 different sentiments as well as the flowers, greenery, pot and tag that you see in Julie’s card. The dies cut out many of these images as well as as a label that some of the sentiments fit on. So fun!

I hope you enjoyed this lovely card as much as I did! Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Check out this gorgeous card that I found to share with you on Day 10 of 30 Days of the New Catalog. It was made with products in the Abigail Rose Suite found on pages 56-57 in Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog.

The stamp set has lovely flowers and foliage along with six different sentiments. The Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper is made with the subdued color palette of Petal Pink, early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Smoky Slate and Basic Black.

The sentiment is punched out with the new Lasting Label Punch found on page 152 of the catalog. It can be purchased alone or as part of the Lovey & Lasting Bundle.

Thank you to Mary Deatherage for creating and sharing this gorgeous card. It makes me want to put this suite on my wish list. Ha! I’ve been saying that of all the products I’ve been sharing with you, haven’t I?

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Another adorable critter for Day 9 in 30 Days of the New Catalog. Yesterday I shared a sweet elephant and today we have a cute little piggy.

The This Birthday Piggy stamp set can be found on page 55 of Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog. Now, if you look closely at the page, you may see a project that looks very similar to this card. 🙂

Thank you Melissa Faust for sharing this cute project and getting us to notice the samples in the catalog. Don’t forget that the catalog is your biggest resource of samples of the products in it.

Such a fun card! This stamp set includes three pigs and seven different sentiments for various occasions. Too cute!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Can you believe it’s already Day 8 in my 30 Days of the New Catalog? Are you enjoying the projects? Please leave a comment and let me know!

The Elephant Parade Bundle (page 48 in the catalog) is adorable! These little critters are too dang cute! Whether you need a baby card or an all-occasion card, this bundle will work.

Thank you to Wendy Lee for this beautiful card. The Fresh Freesia background piece is designer paper from my favorite New Horizons pack from the January – June Mini Catalog and the leafy vellum piece is from the Lovely Layers Vellum pack found on page 139 in the Annual catalog.

This card is so sweet! The color combination is gorgeous! I hope you like this card as much as I do. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Day 7 and it’s all about summer in 30 Days of the New Catalog. The Sunny Splash stamp set on page 41 of the catalog definitely says “summer” with these retro-looking swimsuits! So cute!

The stamp set has four different swimsuits and four different sentiments. I’ve seen cards where the swim suits have been cut out for a little added interest.

Thanks go to Lyssa Zwolanek for this bright and fun card! I love how Lyssa used the strips of designer paper behind the focal point for added interest. I will be giving this design a try sometime.

What do you think of this stamp set? Is it going you your wish list?

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

Day 6 of 30 Days of the New Catalog brings us a simple card using the amazing Charming Sentiments Bundle. You can find this bundle on page 38 of the catalog or click on the link above.

The Charming Sentiments Bundle was designed by a demonstrator, Million Sales Achiever Lisa Curcio. This stamp set has 17 sentiments and all of them can be die cut using the coordinating Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. How fun! The die set also cut out images such as candles, hearts and stars. This bundle is a must for any craft room! It’s sitting the shelf in my craft room just waiting for me to get home and play with it!

Thank you to Mary Fish for this fun and easy card that she made using this bundle. The circles on her card were die cut using the Stylish Shapes Dies found on page 175 of the new catalog. The Stylish Shapes Dies have six different stitched circles, five stitched squares and four stitched labels. Another definite must for any craft room! Do you have it on your wish list yet?

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!

For Day 5 of the 30 Days of the New Catalog I have a fun and bright card for you. If this card doesn’t make you smile, I’m not sure what will. 🙂

Thank you Amy Koenders for this cheerful card! I must like Amy’s style of cardmaking because yesterday’s card was made my Amy too!

Amy used the Butterfly Kisses Suite of products on this card. Such a happy suite! Bright colors and fun images. How can you go wrong?

All of the designer papers used on the card are from the Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper and the little resin flowers match the papers perfectly. I LOVE coordination! This suite of products may end up on my wish list yet!

Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
