NEW Kits Collection !

 



Kits Collection by Stampin’ Up! is all about making crafting fun, accessible, and inclusive! We're always working hard to design a collection full of different product options to allow you oodles of options when it comes to finding that perfect project or gift. 

Kits can help you to focus on enjoying a creative experience with less preparation and planning. (Who doesn’t love that?) Our all-inclusive kits also allow you to be less dependent on specific products and not have to purchase extra supplies.

We love variety, which means that our collection is frequently changing as new kits are released and the availability of previous kits fluctuates.  I will always let you know when new kits have arrived, so you won't miss out on a single one.

Here's a quick look at our latest two new kits:


Frog & Friends Kit.  This kit is for the young ones, or, for seniors who want to feel young again! Look at these frog and sea friends.  Not only are these fun to make, you can play a game with them too! 


The Your Day to Shine Kit has nine cards; three each of three designs.  Use these cards for birthdays, friendship and uplifting messages. The insides are blank so you can write your own personal message.

Flowers and Thinking of You

Isn't it nice to think of someone special?  The memories, laughter, maybe a few tears...it's all part of the friendship.  I am so blessed to have so many wonderful memories with so many wonderful friends I've made throughout the years.  Some friends stay with us our whole lives while others, seem to flit by in an instant, leaving a lovely mark and memories to last a lifetime.  Family is family, but friends are our chosen family and today, I'm honoring all of my beautiful friends.   You know who you are; I love you all.

 

Friday, I posted that we will have some new Online Exclusives products available March 5. The Flowering Zinnias suite is one of my favorites. The bright colors of the designer series paper and the detailed images in the stamp set are perfect for a card or scrapbook page.  The embossing folder is gorgeous, and the dies cut out the images perfectly, including some of the flowers on the paper.

Stay tuned for more updates on the new Online Exclusives. In the meantime, have a delightful day!

Sneak Peek - Flowering Zinnias Suite

 Hello and welcome! I hope you're having a great day.  In just a few days, we will have another release of our Online Exclusives, ready for your crafting fun.  The Flowering Zinnias suite is absolutely beautiful, and there's just so much to say about it.  Here's a quick peek at what you'll get in this delightful suite of products.


Just look at this beautiful designer series paper.  And the sequins and embossing folder are fantastic too. The detail of the stamped images is crisp and clean.  Although I didn't use the embossing folder or the dies, I made good use of the paper, stamps and sequins.  


I don't know what this fun fold is called as I received one like it in a card swap I participated in.  I loved it so much I figured out how to make one.  I'm calling this a "Flip Gatefold".  


It does take one sheet of 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock to make one card, so I'm not sure I would be willing to make too many of these at once, but I love it just the same. I'm anxious to play with the embossing folder and dies soon. When I do, I'll share what I made.

In the meantime, I hope you have an amazing day. Happy stamping!

Cake Fancy Birthday

 I've been missing in action a bit, but as we all know, life gets in the way sometimes.  I have been creating though, and that's a good thing.  Today's card is one I made because I belong to a birthday group. We send cards to everyone on the birthday list, every month.  It's really nice because when it's my birthday next month, I'll get a LOT of cards!  Who doesn't like that?  Here's my card:

I actually made two versions using Pretty Peacock and Pool Party card stock for the base.  The card above uses a strip of the Forever Love designer series paper.  The card below has a strip of the Lighter than Air 6x6 designer series paper.  I love how they both look different by just using a different piece of paper.  The card above is more masculine to me, while the one below is more feminine.

What do you think?  Cake Fancy is a new stamp set in the January-April Mini catalog.   I love how this stamp makes that cake look so real.  A bit of Wink of Stella on the whipped cream topping finishes it off nicely.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I'll have more cards and a lot of new info soon! Enjoy your day.

Hello with Softly Sketched

 Hello and happy Thursday,

While it's always exciting to get a new catalog, many times I forget that I still have quite a few stamps that are in the annual catalog, that I have not used yet.  Today's card is made from one of those.  Softly Sketched is a delightful stamp, that to me, looks like it was sketched in charcoal.  I had a scrap of white cardstock on my desk, so I opted to use that and make a card using the smallest floral image.  Here's my card:

I used Flirty Flamingo for my card base, with a strip of Most Adored designer paper, found in the new mini catalog.  I stamped the image in Basic Gray ink instead of black, because I wanted it to be a softer look.  Using my watercolor pencils and a blender pen, I colored the image, then added clear Wink of Stella to give it some shine. 

I think I'll use black ink to stamp the images next time, because I think they would stand out more.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a beautiful day.
