NEW AT SU-BOHO BLUE & MISTY MOONLIGHT

 This month on our New at SU Blog Hop we are playing with colors-the new colors to be specific!!! Our b brandy new Annual Catalog has some beautiful new colors for you! Not only are the amazing new '23-'25 In-Colors in there, but        Stampin' Up! also did a color refresh! They deleted some old, added some new, and returned some previous favorites! We are combining the new in-colors with the new basic colors for some fabulous combinations! 

Here's my card:

Boho Blue & Misty Moonlight both show up in the Countryside Inn 12x12 DSP, so I thought I'd let the the SU concept artists take the lead! I love blues! But using the absolutely amazing Countryside Corners Dies just brings it all together! 

The bird, branch & sentiment are from the Seasonal Branches bundle! So much versatility here! And it literally is seasonal!

The little bird is colored in with the Boho Blue Stampin' Blend. The whole card is finished off with the '23-'25 In-Color Dots! These are super nice because they are almost flat-great for mailing!

So please check out the other blogs on our hop for some amazing color combinations! I'm anxious to try some of their color-combo ideas! Simply click on the name below & you'll find yourself super so colorful!!!

Happy Stampin'!

ICS BLOG HOP-INTRODUCING THE 2023-2025 IN-COLORS

 

Well hello new Annual Catalog!!! And with it new In-Colors! Stampin' Up! also did a color refresh so there are some pretty cool new & returning colors!!! But for this hop we are introducing the '23-'25 In-Colors-Copper Clay, Wild Wheat, Boho Blue, Moody Mauve, & Pebbled Path!  It's a nice assortment of sort of muted colors! They go so well with all the other colors in the SU palette!! I think you'll love them!!! I sure do!

Here's my card:

So I was sooooo excited to see this stamp set-Little Monkey! My grandson is my "monkey" so this is a special set for me! Plus they're so cute!!! The little monkeys were colored with the Copper Clay Stampin' Blends, and the Wild Wheat Blends were used for their little faces! 

Now the banners in the background really represent the other colors nicely with both cardstock & the In-Color 6x6 DSP Assortment.As always Stampin' Up! has provided all kinds of accessories in the new colors!

One of the best things about this stamp set is the matching                              Little Monkey Builder Punch! Yup! You can punch out your own barrel full of monkeys!!! I simply fussy cut the other 2!

Only other addition is the Crumb Cake Bakers Twine from the                    Baker's Twine Essentials Pack!!! Easy peasy!!!

Hope you enjoyed "swinging" by here today! (See what I did there? lol)  Cheryl is up next in our hop! So simply click on her name or the icon below & go visit! Then keep going! So much fun to see our new colors in action!!!!

Happy Stampin'!

PPP BLOG HOP-ALL THE LITTLE THINGS

 Happy Spring! And welcome to another edition of our                                       Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop!!! This month's kit really shows "all the little things" that go with pretty spring crafting! Hope you enjoy our alternatives!!!

So here are the cards as designed in the kit:

Very pretty, right? They were tough to change up! But I did 3! Now if you follow this blog you know that when I do the alternatives I try to keep with the items in the kits. That way you can change things up without worrying about having all the extra supplies! Well, I did that with 2 of the cards this time. The third does use another stamp set! 

So the final one here used the Balmy Blue & White Ribbon Variegated Ribbon and the Sending Smiles bundle! I kind of got the idea from the alternatives shown on the directions sheet! Even Stampin' Up! gives you some ideas!

Please note: The leaves & flowers with all the blues & purples are actually shiny silver! lol No matter what I tried I couldn't get the color to tone down on the cards! So while these look very colorful-and they are in their own way-picture if you will the blues & purples as like a mirror/silver!!! lol

So I hope you enjoyed! Please hop over to
Darla's blog next & see her alternative design! Simply click on her name or the link below! And keep going!!! Enjoy & enjoy "all the little things" this spring brings!!!!

Happy Stampin'!

NEW AT SU! BLOG HOP- SPELL IT OUT-ALPHABET A LA MODE

 Welcome friends to our New at SU Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world sharing some inspiration for your creations!!! This month we will "spell it out" for you using different alphabet dies or stamps!  So hop with us for this fun adventure!

Here's my card:

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day!!! Having a bit 'o the Irish in me we enjoy a good St. Pat's celebration! Of course, we are all Irish on March 17! 

Ive used the Alphabet a la Mode dies to create the "Lucky" using the               Gold 6x6 Metallic Specialty Paper! 

Now here's where it gets tricky! I used the Lucky Clover Punch for the shamrocks with the Textured 12x12 Shimmer Paper and the Gold Metallic. Problem is the Clover Punch is not available right now! I guess it was wildly popular! lol

So here's what I came up with as an alternative! 

You can create this card using the Country Bouquet Punch! The cards otherwise are identical, but they each have their own "flair"!!! lol   

So if you have the Lucky Clover punch, go for it! If not, then any heart punch should do the trick!!!

Other materials used in this card are Bricks & Mortar Embossing Folder, Metallic Woven Ribbon, and Metallic Pearls.

I hope this has given you a couple of fun ideas! Now please visit the "lucky" blogs listed below until you get to the end of the rainbow!!! Guaranteed more fun than a pot 'o gold!!! Top 'o the Mornin' to you!!

Happy Stampin'!

ICS BLOG HOP-SEA TURTLE BIRTHDAY!

 Welcome to our Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop & our birthday celebration!! This month this amazing group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators is celebrating birthday creations! We are using some amazing product from all our catalogs to give you some birthday inspiration!! Hop along with us!!

Here's my birthday card:

So I've used the stamp set Sea Turtle from our 2023 January-May Mini Catalog! I absolutely LOVE sea turtles-or honu as they are called in Hawaii!!! I thought this could be a great card for anyone! Works as a masculine card as well!!!!

Just love that there's a little guy to put on the inside and the envelope as well!

One of the reasons I really love this stamp set is it appears to be 3D! This looks like's popping off the page as in a die cut, but it isn't! Just a simple stamp!!! Cool right??!!!

I've aired it with the gorgeous Down by the Bay DSP! Hard to tell but there's some shine going on! So pretty!

Other items used in this card are Artistically Inked stamp set for sentiment,  Night of Navy Bordered Ribbon and Adhesive Backed Milky Dots!

So I hope you've found some birthday inspiration! Next up is Tricia.  Hop over there to see what's going on. Simply click on here name here or the icon below-then keep going!!! Enjoy!

PPP BLOG HOP-SUNSHINE AND SMILES

Welcome to our Paper Pumpkin Possibilities Blog Hop! This month's kit is so adorable!!!! Creating an alternative was a challenge because the actual kit is so cute! But here we are!!! Hope you hop along & enjoy all our alternatives!!!!

Here's my card:

Here's the way the actual kit works:

I saw that bunny & it just screamed Easter to me! Here in New England we are in the throws of a renewed winter weather pattern-MUCH to my dismay! Anything spring speaks to me right now! lol  And with Easter right around the corner, this is just a thing!

All I did here was turn the card inside out and back it with some                       Basic White card stock! I decorated the inside too! The rainbow was just too pretty & springy to leave on the inside!

I broke my rule about only using kit materials on this one-but just a little bit! I did add some ribbon (Metallic Woven Ribbon in Sweet Sorbet) and black & Balmy Blue inks. The stamp set Celebrating You used for the sentiment also is not part of the kit! But the majority of the card is kit-only materials!!!

I love this little Easter card and I hope you do to! Next up with some sunshine & smiles is Elizabeth! Click on her name here or the icon below to see her creation! Pray for spring! lol

Happy Stampin'!

NEW AT SU-TAG WITH CELEBRATE EVERYTHING DSP

 Hello and Merry Christmas and/or Happy Hanukkah! I can't believe this is the last blog hop of 2022! So much Stampin' Up! fun to look forward to in 2023 though! And here on the New at SU Blog Hop our group of international demonstrators are sure to keep you updated of all the goings on!!!

This month we are featuring tags-just in time for your gift giving! Sometime ya just want something different!

Here's my tag:

So this uses very little materials, and is a great tag for using up some of your old DSP! This is the beautiful Celebrate Everything DSP which will be leaving us soon! Bah humbug! lol I love this paper pack!

Here I simply created this fun 3-D Christmas tree from one piece of paper! All kinds of folds & a few snips & it's a pretty easy & fun thing to make! Definitely not good for flat mailing, but very pretty under the tree!!! The DSP is mounted on a piece of Basic White for stability. Here's a little close up of the tree!

The stamping on the back is from Santa's Delivery & the to/from is from this month's Paper Pumpkin exclusive stamp set!!!

The string is from the beautiful Iridescent Trim-also leaving us with the           2022 Holiday Mini Catalog. But perfect for a tag!!!

The stars are cut using the Give it a Whirl Dies and                               Distressed Gold 12x12 Specialty Paper! Very fun to make!

Hope you enjoyed this tag! Please click on the links below to see some of the amazing creations our other demonstrators have shared!

May all the peace and blessings be with you and yours in this wonderful season of light. We will be back in the new year with a brand new 2023 Spring Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration!!!

Merry Stampin'!

ICS BLOG HOP-CHRISTMAS SCOTTIE THANKS!

 

Welcome to the last Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop for 2022!!! Wow! Where did the year go?? It was a good one after a few rough ones! And I surely have a lot to be thankful for! Fortunately, this month we are sharing cards of thanks! As our    Fall 2022 Mini Catalog winds down, I'm trying to get the most out of it!

Here's my card:

Now this is a very simple thank you. It's designed for a generic winter "thank you" card! I know there are so many Christmas thank you's going out, but I needed a change from all the Christmas stuff! lol Just for a day though! I love ALL things Christmas!!!

This Christmas Scottie stamp set and the Scottie punch have done me well this season & is one I will not get rid of! My eldest son is named Scott! Can't let this one go! lol I got to use all the little scottie dogs on this one!  Here's the inside! Although the punch is retiring soon so be sure to get yours if you'd like one!!

The inside! Ruff!

I like the Alphabest Stamp set with the coordinating Best Label Punch for sentiments. It's nice & small & good for card fronts! It spreads out across both sides of this gatefold card. Just thought it lent a level of excitement! lol Hope this one doesn't go away!

Other items used are Celebrate Everything 12x12 DSP, Fine Sparkle Adhesive Backed Gems, Pool Party Sheer Ribbon. 

I wish you all the most blessed and happy Holiday season! Whether you celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah or something else, may it be filled with family, friends & joy.

NEW AT SU-PENGUIN PLACE GIFT CARD HOLDER

 

Welcome to the November New at SU Blog Hop! This month our group of international Stampin' Up! demonstrators is getting ready for the gift giving with some fun gift card holders!!! We are featuring our amazing products from either the Annual Catalog or the 2022 Fall/Winter Mini-or both!!!

Here's my gift card holder:

Opened up!

Before decorating!!

This design is a little ditty I came up with years ago! Gift cards can get lost in the gift shuffle on Christmas morning or Hanukkah nights! My family has alway just laid the gift cards on the branches of the trees, but often they'd fall & get misplaced. I wanted something that was appropriate for "hanging" on the tree! So this is what I came up with!  It is also awesome to hang off a package when the gift card is an added gift!

I love how the little guy from Penguin Place & the Penguin Punch work here! Just the right size. It also leaves room for me to add a dimensional if I want to close it up tight!

Here's my template: (feel free to use if you wish)

Template                            All cut out!

It allows for a 1/2" thickness.

The inside will hold some tissue paper or one of the folded up cracking ards that the gift cards come on.  You can also add a little note!  I do have a little tag I use to attach to the handle, but it's not pictured! You can also adhere a piece of white to the back of the holder with to & from!  Lots of fun ideas!!!

Other materials used are the Celebrate Everything DSP and the            Iridescent Trim!

So I hope you have found some inspiration here! Please visit the blogs listed below to see what else you can do to make your gift cards look amazing!!!

Happy Stampin'!

ICS BLOG HOP-JINGLE, JINGLE, JINGLE

 

Christmas is coming!!!  We are starting our Christmas prep early on the        Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop this month! We are showing some amazing Christmas creations for you so you can also get going!!!

Here's my card:

I absolutely love this simple little stamp set! It makes an adorable card with very little effort!  

This card uses the "step technique" with the Stamparatus-at least that's what i think it's called!! So quick & easy!!! 

The stamp set has an outline stamp and a filler stamp for each of the sayings! You can either use the filler as I did here or color the outline in with your            Stampin' Blends!! While non-traditional Christmas cards are fun, I'm pretty much a traditional red/green girl! lol Colors are Granny Apple Green & Poppy Parade-chosen from the colors in the DSP!

I simple backed the words with the Celebrate Everything DSP! I have come to LOVE this DSP pack! I used it way more than anyone should! lol 

I even decorated the inside with the fun little ornament in the stamp set:

Only other supplies used are the Iridescent Trim and the                                 Red Rhinestones Basic Jewels! Easy peasy!

Next up is Terri! Hop on over to see what she is featuring this month & keep going until you get right back where you started!!! Simply click her name here or the link below! Enjoy!
