Stampin’ Up! Stitched All Around

I used the Stampin’ Up! Stitched All Around stamp set from the upcoming 2018-2019 Annual Catalog to create today’s card. I actually used several brand new products (all available starting this Friday).

  • Stitched All Around stamp set  wood #146629    clear #146632
  • Love What You Do stamp set  #148042
  • Garden Impressions 6″ x 6′ Designer Series Paper  #146289
  • Stitched Labels Framelits  #146828
  • Mango Melody cardstock  #146989
  • Mango Melody stamp pad  #147093

My card is a surprise because it’s a card within a card!

Graceful Glass

I made today’s card in April while attending On Stage in Las Vegas and it uses all new products! All of it will be available on June 1st, except for the new Stampin’ Blends which we’ll have to wait a bit longer for, hopefully just until mid June.  As I announced yesterday, all of the original Stampin’ Blends are back in stock which makes me very happy!!

I used the beautiful Graceful Glass 6′ x 6″ Designer Vellum which comes in 12 different designs. Using two brand new Stampin’ Blends (Pineapple Punch and Lovely Lipstick), I colored the back of the vellum.  Imagine all the possibilities by just changing the colors you use or how you color it in! I added a glue dot in each corner to adhere it to the brand new Lovely Lipstick cardstock. The banner below the sentiment is our new Pineapple Punch cardstock.

The sentiment is from the stamp set Painted Glass which will be available separately or as a bundle.  When you purchase the Painted Glass Bundle (available in wood and clear mount) which includes the Painted Glass stamp set and the coordinating Stained Glass Thinlits, you’ll save 10%.

Did you notice the sparkly 1/8″ Cord that I used to make my bow? It’s brand new too and in addition to black, gold will also be available on June 1st.

All of the supplies I used are listed below.  If you click on any of the images, you’ll be taken to my online store where you’ll be able to see the products in much more detail.  Just three more days until you can start purchasing from the new catalog!

If you’ve never tried alcohol based pens, they make your coloring look beautiful! Once you try them, you’ll be hooked!!

If you’ve placed an order with me in the last six months, you should already have received your brand new Stampin’ Up! catalog in the mail!  It’s a beauty!! If you’ve peeked inside, you’ve seen that there are 11 new Stampin’ Blends colors!!!!  I can’t wait to get my hands on them! Unfortunately though, the official word is that the new colors won’t be available until mid-June.  But the good news is that you can now get the previously released colors that have been on backorder.  Click here to shop our collection of Stampin’ Blends! 

Here are projects I’ve made with Stampin’ Blends, but please note that some of the products used are currently on the Retiring List or are no longer available.

Animal Outing

The new Stampin’ Up! catalog goes live in one week!!!  I have four brand new products on my card today and all of them will be available on June 1st:

  • Animal Outing stamp set (available in wood and clear)
  • Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set (available in wood and clear)
  • Stitched Labels Framelits
  • Nature’s Poem Designer Series Paper

In the supply list below, not all of the new items are in the system yet so they aren’t showing up in the list. You won’t be able to purchase the first three items until June 1st but you can click the images and see them up close in my online store!

It’s so much fun working with new products! I used the Stitched Labels Framelits  to cut out the sentiment.  Did you notice that it coordinates with the Stitched Shapes Framelits (what I used to cut out the kangaroo and koala)? I love this coordination!  Using the Framelit that I used for the sentiment, I cut two more out in in Crumb Cake and Tranquil Tide, cut them in half and then attached the ends to the sentiment.  The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Greetings (32 different stamps, all, itty bitty).The cute kangaroo and koala are from the new stamp set Animal Outing and I used my Stampin’ Blends to color them in.  By the way, a little bit of bad news, I just heard that the brand new colors of Stampin’ Blends won’t be available on June 1st, but later in the month.  I haven’t heard any updates on the current colors.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

A Beautiful Baby Boy!

I’ll be back tomorrow with a new card.  We’ve had the best kind of excitement in our family, a new baby! Our daughter, Erin, gave birth to our third grandchild, a little boy, on Tuesday night.  We’ve been waiting nine long months for his arrival and we’re loving every minute we can spend with him!  He is absolutely precious!

See you tomorrow and enjoy your day!
