Flowers for Every Season

The Flowers for Every Season paper pack is the only 6 X 6" papers in the new Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  Many people love the 6 X 6" papers; they find them easier to cut into for some reason.  

I decided to use them for last week Monday night's Stamp with Me video.  Here's a link to it on Facebook.

This is one of my favorite I made so far with this paper; I love the new Misty Moonlight in color.  Paired with Night of Navy and White is quite striking in my opinion.  Monochrome cards can be so soothing! 

I also used the Small Bloom punch, 2020-22 In Color Enamel Dots and the Pick a Punch. 

Measurements:

• Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  DSP 3 1/2" square and 1" X 3 1/2"
  CS layer 5" X 3 3/4"
  CS strip; textured 3/4" X 4 1/4"
  Greeting banner/punch

• Life is Beautiful with So Much Happy? Yes!

  October 27, 2020

  ---

  Here are two more cards I created on a Facebook Live for Demonstrators last week.  It was such an honor to be asked to present cards highlighting my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful.  

  Unfortunately I cannot share the video but I can share the projects! 

  Save

  Which one do you prefer?  Blues & purples or rainbow colors? Here they are separately:

  I used Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Pool Party and stamped the Bokeh dots image. 

  Then I added the Happy die-cut across it at an angle.  I also cut a separate White CS strip to place under the Happy die-cut.  The 'to celebrate you' is from the So Much Happy stamp set stamped on a die-cut from the Ornate Frames dies.

  Have you decided on your favorite yet?  

  I'll be sharing another card with my Life is Beautiful stamp set tomorrow.  Do you have yours yet?  If not go here to order!

  Measurements:

  • Blackberry Bliss – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" for back and 4" X 11" scored at 2" and 3 3/4" from each end
  • Pumpkin Pie 3 3/4" square
  • Very Vanilla – 2 pieces at 3 1/2" square plus a scrap for the die-cut
  • Plaid Tidings DSP – 2 pieces at 4" X 3/4"

  Details:

  • I stamped the tree in Early Espresso and the leaves in Pumpkin Pie & Blackberry bliss, stamping off once or twice first. 
  • I added a few 'Sequins for Everything' among the leaves. 
  • The greeting label is cut with the Ornate Frames dies and sponged with Pumpkin Pie ink. 

  I hope you like it!  I'll be sharing lots more cards with my Life is Beautiful stamp set this week!  Do you have yours yet?  If not go here to order!
