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!

Happy Stampin'!!!

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'!

The Dainty Flowers 12x12 DSP is designed to coordinate with the               Dainty Delight bundle from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog, but I don't have that bundle!
