Sailing Home

One of my favorite stamp sets in the new catalog is the Sailing Home Set.  It also comes in a suite with a lot of coordinating products.  All of the products can be found on page 145 of the catalog.

For my card today, I only used the stamp set and coordinating dies which can be purchased together to save you 10%.

This is not an original design of mine, but I don't have the name of the demonstrator who made one like this, so if it is your original design please comment below so I can give you proper credit.  I just changed a few things to make it a bit easier for the ladies to make at my stamp class this month.


The background is one of the stamps in the Bokeh Dots stamp set, and I stamped it using the new Seaside Spray Ink.  I stamped my light house using Memento Black Ink, and used my Dark Real Red  Dark Crumb Cake Blends to color it in, and I placed it onto my card using Dimensionals.   I then added a few birds,  my birthday sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthdays set which I cut it out using a Lakeside Die and my card is finished.

Annual Catalog is now live!



The time has finally come that we can order from the new 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  If you already have your hard copy I'm sure your wish list is as long as mine because there are so many new, wonderful products for us to use to create new cards and projects with.  If you are a customer of mine and attended my Open House last week you already received your catalog, but if you still are in need of one, please send me an e-mail or leave a comment below and I will be happy to get a copy to you.

You can now go to my Online Store to order, or contact me to place an order for you.  I will be trying to catch up on posting my card ideas this week, and apologize for being so behind on keeping my blog up to date.  I have been having so much fun creating in my studio, and getting everything ready for my classes and Open House that I haven't posted in a while.  So, come back this week to check out some card ideas.

I hope you enjoy your new products and I look forward to another great Stampin' Up! year of creating and sharing with you.

Magnolia Lane Memories and More Card Pack

I love the Magnolia Lane Memories and More Card Pack that is in the upcoming Annual Catalog.  I was able to preorder it, and already have my 20 cards made that I will be using in an upcoming class.

After I show the class to my ladies at my Open House today I will post the cards I made for the class.  In the meantime, you can watch this video by Stampin' Up! that shows you all of the creative ways you can use the products in the card pack.  I think you will love it too.

What are cling stamps!

Since the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog will be here soon, I thought I would share this video that talks about the new Cling Stamps.  In the current catalog we had wood, clear, or photopolymer stamps, and in the Occasions Catalog, Stampin' Up! introduced the new "Cling Stamp".

In the upcoming 2019-2020 Annual Catalog, cling stamps will replace clear stamps which will give you much better hold on your clear block.  The stamps might look the same when you first get them, but there really is a difference, so I thought I would share this Stampin' Up! video showing you all about the new "Cling Stamps".

Sweet Baby



The Sweet Baby Stamp Set and coordinating Bouncing Baby Framelits Dies are retiring at the end of the month.  I just got my bundle a few weeks ago, and I'm glad I was able to make these cute baby boy and girl cards for class.  

I see so many uses for the stamps and dies that I will be holding onto them even after they are retired.  If you would like to get them before they are gone, you can go to my Online Store by clicking the link in the upper left hand column of my blog.

You can add texture to your card base by using your favorite embossing folder.  A pop of color from coordinating Designer Series Paper, some sponging around the white oval, and the cute babies which were colored with Stampin' Blends make these some of my favorite baby cards.  I also plan on using the dies to make baby shower favors and to add to little baby treat boxes.

Tip:  You can color your Clear Faceted Gems using your Stampin' Blends.  I used one on the baby wrap and colored it with the Dark Highland Heather Blend.
