I stamped this butterfly, page 145, on Watercolor paper and used the colors, Peekaboo Peach and Sweet Sugarplum. Two of my favorite new in-colors. The Background DSP is from Playful Palette, page 174. The leaves from Pop of Paradise, page 85, are embossed in gold. The sentiment is from Birthday Banners, page 15, and cut out with matching framelits, Bunch of Banners, page 193.
I submitted this card for the SUO challenge to use something from the new catalog. Here I used the new in-color Dapper Denin and Flirty Flamingo.
I am crazy about this set, Best Birds, page 53, because the matching thinlits are so awesome. It has 5 different bird thinlits that you can choose from and they are so cool! What really sets this apart is the sentiments included with the set. Pretty much every occasion is covered.
This is another one of those sets that you can get a 10% discount by purchasing the set and thinlits as a bundle. Incredible deal if you are looking for versatility. Keep watching as I will be using this set quite often in my blog. I love it!
I love this hostess set, Love you Lots, page 199 in the AC. I have made a lot of cards with the set because it is so much fun. I love the little whimsical characters and the sentiments are perfect. The background DSP paper if from the paper stack, Playful Pallette, page 174. In addition, I used the Washi Tape, Playful Palette, page 179. Primary color used is our new in-color Emerald Envy.
If you host a workshop in your home, or mine, you can select this set as one of your hostess gifts. In fact, that is the only way you can get this set, unless you have a book party. It is not a set that you can get any other way. Contact me here to find out more.
We made this card at our last Friday night Club. We used the set Seaside Shore, page 93 of the AC and the background is created using the DSP, By the Shore, page 173. I used Night of Navy, Soft Sky inks and the gold Wink of STella marker. I also used white gel pen.
I created this card with the set, Birthday Fiesta, page 11 in the AC. Colors used were Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, Pumpkin Pie, and Cucumber Crush. I love this set because it is so versatile and comes with matching Fiesta Time Framelits, page 193. You can get this set and framelits for a discount if you buy the bundle together.
I am so glad they carried over the PP set Endless Thanks, page 42. I needed to send out a thank you to one of my customers and wanted to use the set, Swirly Bird, page 152, and grabbed my go to set for thank yous. I used the DSP 6″ X 6″ Paper stack, Playful Palette, page 174 and the matching Swirly Scribbles Thinlits, page 194. I love these thinlits, you only have to surf the web to find tons of cards made with these and the Swirly Bird set. You can get this as a bundle (142353) and save 10% by purchasing both as a bundle.
I love this new set with the vintage images. So cool. Here I used our classic inks with the aqua painter, page 180, and watercolor paper, page 175 to paint the classic truck. I used real Red, soft sky, soft suede, Wild Wasabi and old Olive inks. The card stock is Smokey Slate and stamped with same, using an image from Guy Greetings, page 114. What man wouldn’t love this card for his birthday? Banner is cut from the new Bunch of banner framelits, page 193.
You can find this set on page 145. I love the sentiment on this card. On the inside of the card it reads …Especially in my life. I can never get enough of vintage and that is why I love this set. The DSP is from the 6″ X 6″ paper stack, Playful Palette, page 174. The colors I used on the butterfly were Daffodil Delight, Peekaboo Peach, and Flirty Flamingo. I did use the Wink of Stella clear pen, page 181, on the butterfly. Basic Black is layer after Very Vanilla on a Peekaboo Peach card base. I did fussy cut the butterfly. Hope you like it!
I got the inspiration for this card from Esther at Stampin Star Creations in the UK. She is one of our demonstrators across the sea and I loved the way she created this card and so I cased pretty much all of it from her. Everything on this card is created using the Swirly Bird set, page 152. It is just amazing to me what can be done with this set. The fishes absolutely blew me away. She made those with the leaves. I also like her idea of layering the vellum over the top of the water. Thank you so much Esther for your inspiration and sharing your creation with us.
I created this card with the set, Bunch of Blossoms, page 69, that also comes as a bundle (142345), with the matching punch. You can build up your flowers as I have in this post or you can stamp them, two step. Either way they are lovely. You can make a variety of flowers and the sentiments in this set are an extra added bonus. The washi Tape can be found on page 179 and is called Playful Palette.
I know, isn’t this the cutest little fox you have ever seen? You are going to see plenty of little forest animals this new catalog year. This set is called Foxy Friends and can be found on page 57. There is an entire two page spread just on this set with the matching punch. You can get this set and punch at a discount if you buy them as a bundle (142326).
That is what I did and used both to cut out my little fox. Everything is there for you, it’s a real no-brainer. See all the different animals you can make with this set and the punch. Unbelievable! The sentiment I got from the new set Flourishing Phrases, page 49. I used the DSP, A Little Foxy paper stack on page 174.
I guess by now you must know that I purchased all the vintage sets in the new catalog. I am so into vintage. Here I combined the sets, In This World, page 145, with Gorgeous Grunge, page 123. I used soft Suede, Early Espresso and Smokey slate inks. I used the Naturals DSP, 174, for the background on the base card. This is another great masculine card…….do you agree?
I created this card for the SUO challenge on Splitcoaststampers. I used the stamp sets from Number of Years, page 136, Birthday Fiesta, page 10, and a Carry over from last year, Build a Birthday, page 25, all in the new Annual catalog. In addition, I used the matching dies that go with these sets, including a little fussy cutting. I wanted to stick with our patriotic colors, Real Red, Pacific Point and Whisper White, both regular and thick card stock.
I am so excited over all of the new stuff in the new catalog, so much to create with. Hope you like it.
This is another hostess set that you can get if you have a party, your house or mine. This image is from the stamp set Pun Intended, page 200. This is one of those sets that are so versatile that you could go on forever creating with just this one set. Again great images and wonderful sentiments. I used the Thinlits Die, Sunburst, page 193, and the DSP is from the Pop Of Pink Series, page 172. I also used the gold foil paper, page 175, and the gold satin ribbon, page 178. What sets this card off is the new layering framelits, page 193 that contain interchangeable plain squares and scalloped squares. On this card I used both.
This is one of the cutest sets in the hostess section, Page 198-201 in the New Annual Catalog (AC). You cannot buy this set but you can get it at a huge discount if you host a workshop or plan a book party. Not only are the images darling but the sentiments are awesome too. I used the new in-color Flirty Flamingo for the elephant and the background is Soft Sky. I also used the new in-color enamel shapes, page 177 and the Background DSP is from the In-color DSP paper pack.
Here, I used the masking Technique to set the deer in front of the trees and stream. So easy to do. I plan on doing a video on this technique very soon. YES… you read it right, I am going to bite the bullet and start doing videos for you. Watch for them.
One of my favs. You might be surprised to know that I just purchased this set, even though it was featured in the Occasional catalog that just retired. When I saw that it was being carried over, I jumped for joy and couldn’t wait to get my hands on it. I know now I will have at least another year to play with it.
This is another card created with the Swirly Bird Set, page 152. This set is so versatile and such a buy. You can bundle both the set and Thinlets to get a discount and never run out of ideas for design. Just Search the internet and you will see what I mean. Check out Pinterest too! I sponged the back ground with Soft Sky and used Pacific Point, Smoky Slate, soft Suede and Real Red for the boats. The water is sponged with both Tempting Turquoise and Island Indigo and highlighted with a white gel pen. The sentiment is from May’s Paper Pumpkin.
Using the set, Swirly Birds, page 152 in the AC, I made these kites with our new in-colors, Dapper Denim and Sweet Sugar Plum. Don’t you just love these two colors together? I sponged soft Sky for the background and added the white sequins to step it up a bit. In addition, I used The fine Glue Tip pen to highlight the Kites. It sort of muted the colors but I do like the effect. I used the DSP paper Stack, Playful Palette, page 174. The sentiment is from the set, All About Everything, a FREE give away that came our with the May Paper Pumpkin.
I created this card with the set, In the Meadow, page 129 in the AC. This set was carried over from the occasions catty and I am so glad. I used Always Artichoke, Early Espresso, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake on Soft Sky Card Stock. I did fussy cut the deer and I really like the way it turned out. I am so excited over our new catalog and if you don’t have one, contact me here.
We made this card at my camp on Saturday for Father’s Day. I used the copper embossing powder on the Anchor and sentiment which are from the set, Guy Greetings carried over to the new catalog. The other images are from “By the tide,” which is being retired at the end of the month. In side the card we used the sentiments from the may Paper Pumpkin set that has all the different names if your are giving it to Brother, Son, Grandpa, etc. The technique I used on this card is the Watercolor wash on Shimmery Card Stock.
If you came to my camp yesterday, you would have made this as our 3D item for Dad, Son, Grandpa, Brother. Several choices to pick from. The sentiment is from this month’s Paper Pumpkin set. The images are from the stamp set, Swirly Bird, page 152 in the new AC. I used Real Red and Pacific Point on the muslin bags. These bags are being discontinued so if you want them, make sure you purchase them before the end of the month.
I am in love with the new in-colors. Here I also used Dapper Denim to complete my card. The set is Grateful Bunch, page 94 in the new AC. However, it is a set that is being carried over from the old AC. It does have a matching punch but I did fussy cut the bigger daisies and added the Bright Sequin embellishments. I added the fine tip glue pen in the center of each daisy to make it POP!
On this card I used both gold and copper embossing. I am so glad that SU came back with copper embossing powder. I used it on the pineapple. This set, Pop of Paradise, page 85 in the new AC is so adorable. I used the new in-color Flirty Flamingo on the bird, and the background I used the embossing folder, Brick Wall, page 195, in the new AC.
This is one of the nicest sets in the new upcoming catalog. Pop of Paradise is another versatile set with both images and sentiments and can be used in a variety of ways. This card I created also has some of the Botanical Blooms, also carried over to the new catty. There are no thinlits with this set but it is easy to fussy cut the leaves if you want to add a little demension, as I have here. I used the new incolor, Flirty Flamingo, Old Olive and Very Vanilla.
I created this card with the set Celebrate Today, page 102 AC, and used the Colors Real Red, Whisper White and Pacific Point. My favorite colors for a patriotic theme. I also used the bright sequins to embellish a little more. Right now you can buy this set as a bundle saving 15% from the current catalog. However, with the new catalog of June 1st you will not be able to bundle this set and must buy separately. This set and the balloon framlits have also been carried over.

We made this card at our Friday night club. It is a large stamp from the new catalog to be released on the 1st of June. Please contact me if you need one. On this one I used Crushed Curry and Emerald Envy. In addition, I used the metallic sequin emellishments. The corners were cut out with the Curvy Corner Trio punch. This punch is retiring and you can still get it on the retiring list through the end of May.
This was my shoe box swap with my downline and sidelines this past Sunday. We had lots of wonderful samples made with items from the new catalog. I will post some of them in the next few days.

That is the name of this set. Another Sneak Peek! It is one of the new sets that you will be able to purchase on June 1st. I love Flamingos and on this one I used a new In-color, Sweet Sugarplum. Don’t you just love it? Matching Ruched ribbon is so easy to use and make bows with. In addition, the DSP that matches this set is a dynamite paper stack with all the new in-colors.
I have some people who tell me their favorite color is Melon Mambo. I love it too and that is why I used it on this card.

Y’all know how I love vintage…….well this card just screams vintage! I used the DSP, English Garden, page 142 and typeset, also in the AC.

Sentiment is from Suite Sayings, page 41 of the OC (being carried over to new catty).
This was one of my favorite stamp sets, Nice cuppa, with matching framelits in the OC. I am very sorry to see it go. In fact, it was so popular that it has sold out in the retiring list. Right now I am planning on keeping this bundle but if I do decide to sell it, I will let y’all know first before I put it on eBay.
I have used the DSP Typeset and the sentiment is from the set, Number of years, page 11 & 12 in the OC, to be carried over to the new catalog.
