Don't Miss the Great Sales from Stampin' Up!

 The Sale on Retired Products Begins

Artistically Inked and Artistic dies are two of my favs! It is easy to create stunning cards with these products. And the dies will be on sale, starting 4/9, for 50% off. Be sure to shop early to take advantage of the best deals.

For this card I used both the dies and the stamp set. Colors are Lost Lagoon, Shaded Spruce and Berry Burst. Oh and basic white of course. Simple but stunning.


This card has a sophisticated look. The Fresh Freesia background with the Basic White frame of the card front is a simple layout. Add the beautiful floral die cut in Smoky Slate - very sophisticated. Great for an anniversary or wedding


Rich and snazzy in gold. The paper is Nature's Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper. I used gold foil to cut the floral design. The die for the frame came from Everyday Details. I plan to use this card for a wedding shower.



This card features just the beautiful stamp set! I love the distinctively created images! And the small flowers stamped in blues (Azure Afternoon, Blueberry Bushel, and Boho Blue make a perfect centerpiece for the greeting. The Lemon Lime green leaves are perfect to bring out the lovely shades of blue and a wink of stella is great fun.

This card was cased from Mena Green at https://personally4u.blogspot.com/. Her card designs are GREAT!

What's New at Stampin' UP!

 Lots new!


The new stamp set called Simply Zinnia is a delightful new stamp found in the On-Line Exclusives at Stampin' Up!

To create this card, I stamped the image with Black Memento ink and colored the flowers with Stampin' Blends. Each flower is a combination of two colors and because blends are so easy to work with, the outcome is amazingly easy.

Colors I chose: 
Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight
Highland Heather and Fresh Fresia
Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral

If you purchase the die set you can easily cut out the stem of flowers and adhere it to your card with Stampin' dimensionals, placing it over a nest of Linen Thread.  But you can also fussy cut this bouquet with sicissors, and many of you enjoy that process.

The background paper is cut from Meandering Meadows Designer Series Paper which is another On-Line Exclusive. 

The card base is 8 1/2" x 11" folded in half.
The Basic White layer is 4" x 5 1/4".
The patterned paper is 3 3/4" x 5"

Purchase the products to create the card featured here with the links at the bottom of this page

Be Prepared

 for these colors to RETIRE at the end of April. Will you miss them as much as me? Be sure to stock up before these colors are gone forever!

Ink, Cardstock and Stampn' Write Markers all will retire
