All That You Are Stamp Set is Retiring....So Sad

Image by Stampin' Up! 

I am sad that the All That You Are Stamp Set is Retiring.  It has been one of my favorites to use these past few months since it came out in the 2019 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.  The Stamp set is guaranteed to be in stock until May 24, 2019 after that it will be while supplies last.  So if this stamp set was on your list and you haven't gotten it yet I encourage you to visit my online store and get it now.   Let's have a look at a few cards I made using it shall we.

On the first example I used ink blending to create a ombre' background using a few of my favorite Stampin' Up! blues.  Then I dried the ink and heat embossed the flowers from the stamp set using white embossing powder.  I then used just plain water and showed you in the video tutorial how to do the flux bleaching technique.  If you missed that video you can watch it here.  

  

 The next card I did I did in watercolors.  I stamped each of the flowers in a light color ink and did a no line watercolor card.  This takes a little time and isn't something that I would say a beginner should try if you've never watercolored before.  This technique takes a little time to master and it's one that you have to keep going with even if you don't think it's right.   It will all work out in the end.

It has such fun bold flowers that's great for many different techniques.  Here's a closer look at the stamp set and the cards that Stampin' Up! created for the catalog.

You can see from the stamp images above that you can use this bold lined images for your favorite coloring technique or would work well just with a simple stamped card.  If I did a simple card using this set I think I would do a tone on tone card base stamping the large flower image everywhere to create a dramatic background on my card base.  And, then stamp the sentiment on another piece of paper that I may have punched from whisper white cardstock, adding it with a few dimensionals.  I love the font on this stamp set, they are great.  And, the sentiments are great for any occasion.  Here's a little closer look at the cards from the Occasions Catalog.  

The smaller flowers coordinate with the Frosted Floral dies from the 2018 Holiday Catalog.  So that makes cutting them out so much easier.  

Thanks for dropping by today I hope that you have found a little inspiration today and that you have fallen in love, if you haven't already, with the All That You Are Stamp Set.  Remember that this stamp set is retiring and will be gone after June 3, 2019.  So if you want it you need to place it in your shopping cart now.  

Happy Stampin'

Sweetest Thing Bundle Retires Soon

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you one of my favorite suites from the 2019 Occasions Catalog.  I feel in love with the Sweetest Thing Product Suite, it had a fun stamp set, with matching dies, fabulous designer series paper, fun ribbon (that by the way was reversible), and other fun products and embellishments.   I am so said to see these products go that I have decided to share with you the few cards that I made with these products plus a card that I haven't shared before.  So we will start with the new card.

I used the fun rainbow striped designer series paper for this card along with the reversible ribbon to draw attention to this clean and simple birthday card.  I really wanted this beautiful piece of paper to be the stand out on this card.  I am going to be honest this design was one of the reasons I wanted this pack of paper in my collection.  I stamped the sentiment in Gorgeous Grape and the frame in Coastal Cabana and then used the matching dies to cut it out.  And, that was really how I created this fun playful card.

 This was one of the first cards that I created with this suite of products.  I created a hidden z-fold card to feature the products in this entire suite.  You can read more about this card by clicking here.  Unlike a regular z-fold card I have hidden the fold on the inside.

The next card that I created features the gummy bear designer series paper from the paper pack.  I am going to be honest with you I love gummy bears especially the Haribo brand.  Almost as much as chocolate.  I know right that's saying a lot.  You can see more about his card here.

I hope that you have enjoyed my little walk through of the Sweet Thing Suite.  If you want any of these products you need to do so before they all sale out.  These items are currently on the retirement list and will only be around while supplies last.  I did check my online store to see if it was still available before this post went live and it was.  Here's a look at all the products left in the suite.  

Happy Stampin'

2019-2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog Preorder Videos

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a little sneak peek at the new products I recently got as part of my Product Purchase Premier and my Product Preorder.  The Product Purchase Premier is one of the perks that demonstrators that attend OnStage get for attending.  We get the get catalog and are able to order select new products a full two months before it goes live to the general public.  Then you add in the Product Preorder; which is another perk for demonstrators.  All demonstrators get to order a select items a month before a catalog goes live.  So, if you add that up since I went to OnStage and get to preorder I have to opportunity to order a good chuck of new products before anyone else.  Here's a little walk through of all the products I recently received from the 2019 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. 

Product Purchase Premier:

The new In Colors this year are Terracotta Tile, Purple Posy, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, and Rococo Rose.  These have a trendy, boho chic, vintage feel.  

Preorder UnBoxing: 

On Friday I got my second little box of products from the 2019 Annual Catalog.  This was a smaller order then the one from OnStage.  

You can see the third video here.  

Now since I have gotten these few new products I have started designing samples, and classes for the coming months.  If you would like to get you hands on products from the new 2019 Annual Catalog there's a super simple why you can get them early as well.  All you have to do is join my team and you can add these new products to your $99 starter kit.  For the $99 you can pick $125 in products with free shipping.

Hello and welcome to my blog and YouTube Channel. This is my second post for today, I shared on my Facebook Live Wednesday Night these three fun easy projects.  I used the Piece of Cake Bundle for the projects and talked about the other bundles in the two current catalogs that the products will be carrying over into the new Annual catalog just not as bundles so if you want any of these bundles you need to order them now while you can save 10% on them.  I will give you a list of the items below.  Here's a look at the projects we made.

Video Tutorial:

Closer Look: 

Let's look closer at each project shall we.  

The first project we did was this super easy and fun card using Petal Pink.  So it's perfect for a female that you need a super easy birthday card for.  

Next I changed things up a little bit and made a card that you could use for a guy if you wanted to it's to girly or not to masculine, this is one that you could actually use for anyone.  

My finial project was a super easy and quick treat holder.  You can get four of these little darlings from one sheet of cardstock.  So they are perfect for Party Favors.   

**All of the details for today's three projects can be found on the project sheets here. **
They have all the products I used and measurements for each project.
