Happy Birthday to You; a free stamp set!

January 15, 2020

Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet? The cake on a pedestal image is quite pretty and easy to color too.

And guess what?! They are releasing a set of die-cuts for this set next month! It includes 7 dies including one for the entire cake, just the flowers, a detailed pedestal and two sets of leaves. It will be for purchase; it's not part of Sale-a-Bration. There are 6 new items they'll release on February 4th that coordinate with items in the new Mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog. I'll share more on that soon.

This pretty card has a bit of the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper on the edge; it brings together the soft colors of Pool Party, Petal Pink and White. It's a bonus card for those who take my New Catalog stamp a stack class on January 25th.

That detailed scalloped rectangle is from my favorite new set of dies; Stitched So Sweetly. It's one of the best things in the new Mini Catalog!

I colored the cake with Blends markers in Petal Pink, Pool Party and Mint Macaron. The greeting is stamped in Smoky Slate. Note the addition of the Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon!

The Parisian Blossom DSP, Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon are all included in this month's Cards kit to go. Click here to get the details on it. Or message me at lagreff60@gmail.com

Flowers for Every Season

June 11, 2020
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.

Save

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

Blossoms in Bloom cards; it’s pretty even without the die-cuts!

June 10, 2020

Today I'm sharing cards made with the Blossoms in Bloom stamp set. It comes with a gorgeous set of dies too but today it's all about the stamps.

First is a pretty card made by my friend Ruth Bingle. I always love her swap cards!

Save

She used the triple time stamping technique. This is where you cut out three layers of descending sizes of card stock and stamp on them all at the same time.

Her White layers are from smallest to larges: 2" X 3 1/4", 3" X 4 1/4" and 4" X 5 1/4". The Bumblebee layers are 2 1/4" X 3 1/2", 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" and the card base of 5 1/2" X 8 1/2". This is a fun technique to do with many style of stamps to create your own background.

Next is a sweet & simple card I made combining Bumblebee with Gorgeous Grape.

Save

This stamp set is one of those where you stamp once and get multiple hues of color; all with one inking! Love this so much!

And last is a card where I stamped directly onto the designer paper.

Save

This is the In Good Taste designer paper seen here; it's full of amazing photo realistic textures like wood, tile and textiles. My colors are Early Espresso, Flirty Flamingo with a touch of Bumblebee. The dies are from the Tasteful Labels dies seen here; my top pick for the most used/versatile dies so far!
