Graceful Glass Suite with Stained Glass Thinlits

The Graceful Glass Suite (pages 164-165) is

one of the most elegant in the new catalog.

You can use the coordinating Stained Glass Thinlits 

(page 220),  with Painted Glass set,

to design windows and frames, or cut out 

the bird, butterfly and rose.  The calligraphy font

works well with the thinlits and graphic elements.

This Suite of products enables the creation of

sparkling cards and projects. 

Love What You do on Wood Textures DSP

The Love What You Do set, and Suite on page 176-7

is a beautiful grouping of products.  You can go for 

just the set, or combine the products that coordinate

with this Suite.  In this example, I combined the

flowers with the Wood Textures DSP stack found on

page 191.   This is my fav DSP and I think that it

goes with any stamped image!

Below is a video that will give you more information
about this coordinating Suite of products.
NOTE:  the bundles with free products are no
longer available, but all of the individual items shown
are available in the new 2018-19 SU catalog.

Simple Rooted in Nature

Rooted in Nature, on page 143, is a variation on

a number of former SU sets.  The big difference is that

this set can be bundled with Nature's Roots Framelits

Dies (page 218), which enables layering of the images,

without fussy cutting.   This example is a very simple,

straightforward card, using a sentiment from 

Colorful Seasons (p 161).

Stamp Off New Stampin' Up! 2018-19 Catalog

Its Here!!

The new 2018-19 Stampin' Up! Catalog.

This marks Stampin' Up!'s 30th anniversary.

Buffy, Susan and I wanted to share some
of our favorite new catalog products!

Serene Garden, on page 166 of the 2018-19 catalog, 
is one of my favorite new stamp sets!  It can be bundled

with the Garden Scene Framelits (p 217) to enable
you to cut out the dove, leaves and flower.  Picture
the dove on a Christmas card!  My favorite aspect of this card
is that you can use all sorts of techniques and coloring
strategies.  In this example, I colored with the
Stampin' Blends.  This set has such
a fresh look that I can't wait to show you more!

Now please click on to see what new catalog products
Buffy and Susan have ready for your viewing pleasure!

Our color palette has also been updated,

so enjoy!

Highland Heather Varied Vases

We are on the eve of the eve of the 2018-19

Stampin' Up! new catalog release!  If that doesn't make

sense, just know that you will be able to order new catalog 

product this Friday!! 

Varied Vases on page 45 is one of the new sets.

It is a lovely set, because you can go clean and simple,

vintage, or very modern with this set.  You can create different

techniques because the set has stamps that color in the

vases, or you can watercolor them. So many options.

In this example, I used the new Highland Heather

card stock, which I can't put down.  We have 3 new purples

in the color line-up and so purple lovers are going

to have a hay day!!

You've Got This in New Colors

Well, this is one of my last posts featuring a retiring set from

the 2017-18 Stampin' Up! catalog.  You've Got this,

on page 101 is one of the first sets that I purchased when

it came out.  I loved the opportunity to color this flower.

In this example, I colored the flower with the swish from

Work of Art on page 151 (also retiring).  The sentiment

comes from the returning All Things Thanks set.

This card also features two NEW ink colors, 

available in the 2018-19 Stampin' Up! catalog that goes

active June 1st.  These colors are Mango Melody and

Granny Apple Green.  Love LOVE LOVE these colors!
