In With the New!

Today I got to play with some of my new catalog product. I'm in love! These layered stamps are so beautiful! And that die cut makes me swoon. These product aren't even available to customers yet (you can buy them on June 1st), and there are so many ideas on Pinterest already. If the demonstrators love it, you all are going to need it! Ha ha.

I CASED this card from Melissa Davies of RubberFUNatics. I loved the colors and knew it would be good for the sympathy card I had to make this week. I hate making sympathy cards because that means someone I know is in pain. But, it also lets them know that I sincerely care. So, we do what we can, right?

Don't you just love that white on white die cut in the background? And the new grapefruit grove ink is just lovely. 

I used the following Stampin' Up! products available for purchase in my SU store:

Paper: Whisper White Cardstock

Stamp Sets: Abstract Impressions*, Rose Wonder (retiring on May 31st)

Ink: Grapefruit Grove*, Pear Pizazz, Early Espresso

Die: Springtime Impressions*

Tools: Big Shot Die Cut and Embossing Machine

Embellishments: Old Olive Mini Chevron Ribbon (retiring on May 31st), Pearl Basic Jewels

* These items will be available on June 1, 2018 with the launch of the new Stampin' Up! catalog

As always, thank you so much for stopping by. And I hope you found something interesting to inspire you here today.

Saying Goodbye to Numbers Framelits

You guys! I'm so sad. These large numbers framelits are retiring! I love these. They are great for making birthday, anniversary and graduation cards. In fact, today I'm sharing a graduation card I made for my sister to give to her niece using these dies. I have made several cards in this same design for different school colors in the last couple of years. I will be keeping these dies. They are just too useful lol. Grab yours in my shop while you still can!

I used the following products in my project shared today:

Cardstock: Basic Black, Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White, Silver Foil Sheets, Black Glitter (unknown source)
Dies: Large Numbers Framelits, Sunshine Wishes Thinlits Dies

Embellishments: Silver Star Sequins (unknown source)

Adhesives: Snail and Multipurpose Liquid Glue

As always, thank you so much for stopping by. And I hope you found something interesting to inspire you here today.

A Friend Like You

Hey there. I know it's been a while. I feel like I'm always using that "life is crazy" exuse, but it honestly is lol. We've just had tons of stuff going on lately, so I haven't had time or energy to make any crafties. Which stresses me out to be honest. I am a person that needs that creative outlet. Makers need to make! Ha ha.
So, here is my card share this week. This was made using Stampin' Up! new product from the 2018-2019 catalog. And, guess what..........You can buy a lot of this product now! Stampin' Up! is offering three early release bundles for the "Share What You Love" suite (see the attached video for more info).

Here's a video of the different bundles currently available.
