Wildly Flowering Suite

Hi stampy friends. Today I am playing around with the new Wildly Flowering Suite from Stampin' Up! This is a full suite with stamps, dies, designer paper, an embossing folder and embellishments.

This suite is featured in the new Annual Catalog.

I am traveling to a demonstrator event on Saturday and needed to make some swaps, what's a demo event without card swaps? and so I thought I would use this pretty new set.

I really like this paper, mostly I think, because I like the white flowers on the colored background. I think my favorite is the Wild Wheat.

Here is what I came up with for my first go with the suite. I need to make 18, so I wanted something pretty, but simple. I think I achieved that! For this Trio I used the 2022-2025 In Color Jute trim for my bows. The blue card is actually Misty Moonlight and the jute trim is Boho Blue, but I think it worked just fine. What's your favorite color?

For the swap I settled on Misty Mauve. I will use either the Misty Moonlight or Wild Wheat at one of my upcoming events. I also switched the jute trim out for linen thread, because I didn't think I had enough of the Mauve to finish all 18 cards. I used Stampin' Up! watercolor pencils to color in the little flower.

I made a video how to for this card.

Here are some of the catalog samples. You can really see how fun those dies are in these photos. I love that scalloped frame.

I'm sure I will have a lot of fun using this suite. I am going to copy that top card for sure! I also really like the paper patterns and want to recreate them in my art journal. They are so pretty!

Beginning on June 5th there will be a Bundle Sale! YAY! Stamp and Die Bundles will be an additional 10% ! When you purchase stamps with their coordinating dies as a bundle, you already get 10$ off, so this will be an additional 10%! The Stampin' Up! emboss and cut machines will also be 10% off. Start making your list!

Little Dreamers Baby Card

Hi everyone! Today I am using the cute Little Dreamers Bundle from the Annual Catalog! I just love these little animals. I thought they would be great to make some welcome baby cards, but I also intent to use them to get a little caught up on some of my Scrapbook pages.

Here is my first card made with this stamp set. I used the Lion image as well as the fun clouds and moon die cuts. In the background you can see the starts that were also cut out with the fun die set.

The sentiments are cute and I love that I could use them on both the outside and the inside of the card.

To color the little lion I used my Stampin' Up! watercolor pencils. Watercolor Pencils are a great way to get a lot of Stampin' Up! colors for less cost. By applying more or less pressure while coloring you can get deeper or lighter colors. You can even get some blended looks by adding the Blender Pens to your stash. The Blender Pens are a clear fluid that you can use in conjunction with the pencils to get a more blended coloring look.
