If you love bright, colorful prints, you’re going to love the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper. This 6″ x 6″ paper will be debuting in the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog and will be available on June 1, 2018. This paper is gorgeous!
To create today’s card, I started with a base of Melon Mambo and paired it with Pacific Point. The sentiment is from another new product, the Love What You Do stamp set, which is also in the new catalog. But only during the month of May, the Love What You do stamp set, along with many new products from the Share What You Love Suite, are part of three Early Release bundles. Free gifts are also included in each bundle! To see everything included in these bundles, you can take a look at this flyer or watch the video included in this blog post. If you have questions, let me know! (more…)

Yesterday I posted this card, showcasing the brand new Designer Series Paper, Garden Impressions and today I have several more cards using this gorgeous paper and a video! Garden Impressions will be available, in just a few weeks, when it debuts in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog on June 1st! It includes 48 sheets of 6″ x 6″ paper with 4 each of 12 double-sided designs.
What’s different about this card is that you can see both sides of the Designer Series Paper! Watch the video below to see how easy it is to create! (more…)

I have a sneak peek for you today with three brand new products! All three products will be available June 1, 2018, when the new catalog debuts! The first new product is the beautiful Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper Stack which comes with 48 sheets of 6″ x 6″ paper with 4 each of 12 double-sided designs. It coordinates with:
- Calypso Coral
- Mango Melody (new color)
- Melon Mambo
- Night of Navy
- Pacific Point
- Petal Pink (new color)
- Powder Pink
- Shaded Spruce (new color)
- Soft Sea Foam (new color)
- So Saffron
- Whisper White
Night of Navy and So Saffron coordinate beautifully with this paper, don’t you think?
The second new product is the stamp set, Enjoy Life. I stamped it with Night of Navy ink and cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and layered it with a scalloped circle from the Layering Circles Framelits.
The third new product is the Night of Navy Medium Baker’s Twine that I used to create my bow. This Baker’s Twine is slightly thicker than the standard Baker’s Twine.
Tomorrow I’ll have a video showing how to make this easy card and more samples using the Garden Impressions paper!

Today I want to share a beautiful card given to me by my friend, Davette. She created her card using Tranquil Tulips, a host only stamp set. Did you know that when you place a personal order of $150 or more, before shipping and tax, you start to receive Stampin’ Rewards? This means you earn FREE product! You can choose anything from a current catalog, the Clearance Rack and host only sets. The host only sets can be found in the back of each catalog and when a catalog period ends, the stamp sets retire. The availability of Tranquil Tulips is guaranteed until May 25th and then will be available until May 31st, or while supplies last.

I’ve loved creating cards with the beautiful Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper but it’s currently on the Retiring List (as well as the Soft Sky cardstock I used) and soon will no longer be available. You can still purchase it but only until May 31st or while supplies last! Because it will soon be gone, this is the last card I’ll be sharing using this pretty paper!
Today’s card might look familiar as I shared it at the end of a video I posted on my blog this week. It has the same layout as the featured card in the video and you can read that post here and watch the video for all the measurements. There are only two changes I made to this card: I made a bow and attached it with a glue dot and I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits and Layering Circle Framelits for my sentiment. It’s a very quick and easy card to create!
The stamp set I used, Love What You Do, is currently only available as part of three Early Release Bundles from the Share What You Love Suite. Each bundle has at least one free gift! For more information about the bundles, I’ve listed them in my supply list below. This flyer also explains everything you’ll receive in each bundle.
All of the supplies I used are listed below. For easy shopping, click any of the images in the list and you’ll head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store. If you have any questions, let me know!

Today I have another quick & easy card using another design from the beautiful Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper. Since it’s from the same package of paper as my Card Box, it would be another great addition to add inside. If you missed the post with my Card Box (there’s a video showing you how to make it), click here.

Two products on my card are retiring:
- Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper
- Lemon Lime Twist Finely Woven Ribbon
The ribbon went on sale yesterday, so that’s an extra added bonus! The video below will show you how quick and easy this card really is! (more…)

My card today combines old (retiring), current and new product! The retiring product first:
All three of these items are available while supplies last!
I used the gorgeous Layered Leaves embossing folder which, thank goodness, will be returning in the new Annual Catalog. It’s been very popular and is currently on the Low Inventory List, which means it will go into backorder status soon and there will be a wait for it to return.

The sentiment I used is from the Love What You Do stamp set, available when the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog debuts on June 1, 2018, but it’s available now in special Early Release Bundles. Read all about the bundles, here (each bundle contains free product)! Once you click on each bundle, be sure to click MORE and images will pop up with everything that’s included!
I have a video showing you how to make this quick and easy card! (more…)

Today I want to share a really cute card I received from my team leader, Dawn! Last month I celebrated my 9th anniversary with Stampin’ Up! and Dawn sent this card to me. She’s very sweet and thoughtful!
Dawn used two stamp sets to create her card. For the sentiments, she used a stamp set I don’t own, Marquee Messages and it’s on the Retiring List. Retiring stamp sets are guaranteed until May 25th, and then once that date passes, they are only available while supplies last. (more…)

It’s time for the Glitter Queens Blog Hop! This month our theme is Retiring Products and the two retiring products I used to create my Card Box are:

I have loved using the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper this past year and I’m really, really going to miss it. All of the colors in the package are so bright and vibrant! It’s only available while supplies last so pick up some while you can! Peekaboo Peach, the cardstock I used to create the box, coordinates beautifully with several of the papers in this package and it too is only available while supplies last. (more…)

Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper is now on the Low Inventory List. It coordinates with the 2017-2019 In Colors of Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink, Fresh Fig and Tranquil Tide. In the picture below, Tranquil Tide looks a lot lighter than it actually is but my card above, will give you a much better indication of the true color. If you love this paper, I would grab it as quickly as you can. It’s been on the Low Inventory List for a few days now so get it while it’s still available. (more…)
