STAMPIN' UP! FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON HELLO CARD IN JUST JADE & BUMBLEBEE

Today's colour scheme is a bit of a change from the very bright design on yesterday's card!  I absolutely LOVE this colour combination.




To make this card, I've just used two pieces of complementary designed DSP, from Flowers for Every Season.  I white-embossed the sentiment, from the new Tasteful Touches stamp set, on Just Jade card, and put a Thick Very Vanilla scalloped circle die cut behind the sentiment circle.  I've added sweet gingham ribbon, which comes from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, and some Just Jade enamel dots.  The sprigs, cut from Bumblebee, Very Vanilla, and Just Jade card, come from the Nature's Thoughts and Butterfly Beauty die sets.




Tomorrow I will be sharing a card that teams Bumblebee with Cinnamon Cider - quite a "retro" colour scheme (it takes me back to the 1970s!), that I think works beautifully.

STAMPIN' UP! FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON THINKING OF YOU CARD IN PINKS





Magenta Madness is a beautiful, vibrant, new In Colour being added to Stampin' Up!'s range on 3rd June; it's the larger blooms on this paper (showing up a bit purple in my photo).  The sheet of paper I used on today's card has a rather "in your face" colour combination, with Flirty Flamingo in the background. (According to the details on the pack, it's probably a toned down Poppy Parade, but I'm going with Flirty Flamingo!)  I initially thought the Flirty Flamingo was too orange to complement Magenta Madness, but I now rather like the combination.

I kept my card very simple, to let the paper do all the talking.  I've added some ribbon from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.  It is a white, linen-feel, ribbon.  I coloured some of it with my Dark Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Blends, but left the bow white.  The sentiment (from Rooted in Nature) is stamped in Flirty Flamingo ink, and I've added a few Clear & Frosted Epoxy Dots.




I hope you will come back to see the card I'll be sharing tomorrow.  It's in yet another combination of colours, and I think the designs are really sweet.

STAMPIN' UP! FLOWERS FOR EVERY SEASON THANKS CARD

In our upcoming Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue, we have a 6" x 6" paper pack called Flowers For Every Season.  It contains loads of bright designs, incorporating the five new In Colours, and more.  This paper is much brighter than my normally choices, but I am loving it!  The designs are fairly busy, so I have kept my sample layouts simple.

These are the colours in the paper sheet I chose for my first card:



My card features Bumblebee, in the sentiment die cuts, gingham ribbon, and some enamel dots.  I've used Cinnamon Cider card to stack the die-cut sentiment (three layers glued together), and enamel dots in other flower centres.



I white-embossed the stamped sentiment, from Here's A Card, on Bumblebee card.  The "thanks" is from Well Written Dies.  Isn't the gingham ribbon sweet?  It is very soft, and ties beautifully.

Tomorrow I will share a card in a very different colourway.  Come back to see the variety of prints in this paper pack!

STAMPIN' UP! ROOTED IN NATURE/FOREVER GREENERY MASCULINE BIRTHDAY CARD

The new Forevery Greenery Designer Series Paper contains images in an array of Stampin' Up!'s greens.  It is so beautiful!  I've used only a small panel on today's card, and paired it with a woodgrain-patterned piece from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper pack (a firm favourite already).  The wood stump, and leaves, are from the Rooted in Nature bundle.  I stamped the leaves in Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green and Shaded Spruce inks, on the same coloured card pieces, then die cut them.  The Garden Green and Shaded Spruce leaves have also been embossed, with vein detail.

The sentiment is from the Here's A Card stamp set, and I have combined Old Olive/Pretty Peacock reversible ribbon with some new Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim.




Over the next few days, I will be showcasing some bright and cheery new Designer Series Paper.  I hope you will come back to visit, to see the lovely new goodies coming our way in just over a week!

STAMPIN' UP! FIELD OF FLOWERS IN ROCOCO ROSE & CRUMB CAKE

One of the several beautiful new bundles we have coming out in the upcoming Annual Catalogue (3rd June), is the Field of Flowers bundle.  It comprises a sweet stamp set (with delicate floral images and a range of sentiments that I can see becoming a "go to" selection), along with a Confetti Flowers border punch.

This card is the result of my first play with these products.  I chose the following colour scheme, based on one of the paper designs from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper pack.







I stamped the grass and stems in Crumb Cake, on the card base, as well as on the scalloped rectangle panel.  The Stitched Rectangle of Rococo Rose card was embossed with the Ornate Floral embossing folder.  The DSP that was the jumping-off point for this card has a fabulous "painty" appearance.  I really love the In Good Taste papers, with their rustic, organic, designs.  The tiny flowers were stamped twice (the stamp has 6 flowers in one), then easily punched out with the matching border punch.  I've added Woven Threads sequins to some of the flower centres.  The sweet butterfly, stamped in Rococo Rose and Crumb Cake, is from the Butterfly Gala stamp set.  I used the Butterfly Duet Punch, to punch it out.

Tomorrow I'll have a more masculine card to share, made with more new catalogue products.

STAMPIN' UP! TO A WILD ROSE CARD IN MISTY MOONLIGHT & GRANNY APPLE GREEN

I have teamed Misty Moonlight with Granny Apple Green, and Crumb Cake, and love the result!

The sentiment on today's card is from a new stamp set called Field of Flowers, which will be released on 3rd June, along with all the lovely new In Colour products.  I stamped it in Versamark ink, then embossed it using white embossing powder and my heat tool.  I then die cut the sentiment with a sweet little frame, from the Ornate Frames Dies.  The white piece is cut from the new Tasteful Labels Dies, and embossed with the new Tasteful Texture embossing folder.

Because I can't link to any of the new products in my online store yet, please feel free to email me if you have any questions about this card.




I hope you've enjoyed my little series of To A Wild Rose cards, in Misty Moonlight.

I'll have some more new goodies to show you in tomorrow's share.

STAMPIN' UP! TO A WILD ROSE FRIEND CARD #2 IN MISTY MOONLIGHT

Today's card is a simple design, to show off my new favourite In Colour, coming out 3rd June.  I have used some of the new 2020-2022 In Colour Designer Series Paper (the woodgrain design, in Misty Moonlight).  After adhering the paper to a piece of Misty Moonlight card, I embossed it with the new Old World Paper 3D embossing folder ... this is the debossed side.

How nice does Misty Moonlight look with Seaside Spray?  I coloured the rhinestones, and the clear faceted gem, with my Dark Seaside Spray Stampin' Blends marker.   On the Whisper White scalloped rectangle panel, I stamped, in Seaside Spray ink, the open rose image from my To A Wild Rose stamp set.  The sentiment is stamped in Night of Navy ink.





Although I can't yet link to the Misty Moonlight card or Designer Series Paper, or Old World Paper 3D embossing folder, in my online store, I have listed below all the other Stampin' Up! products used to make this card.  You can access my store by clicking on any of the thumbnail images below.

Tomorrow I'll have one more To A Wild Rose card, featuring Misty Moonlight, before I go on to show sneak peeks of other new products.  I hope you're enjoying this new colour as much as I am!
