Petal Palette Thank You



Hello Hivers, 

I hope you have had a wonderful month of April. Today I am sharing a card made using some products from the Petal Passion Suite. I love the vibrant colors. I was thinking of all of you Hivers out there that visit my blog and I was inspired to make a Thank You card. I truly appreciate you taking time out of your day and buzzzing by the Hive.

See you in May.

As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today. 
Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Picture Perfect "23"





Hello Hivers, 

When I made this card, I had a particular person in mind.  I made sure to cut the DSP just right to show the numbers 2 and 3.  Someone has a 23rd birthday coming up and I thought this would be perfect.  The card is very simple.  I just added some Silver Mini Sequence Trim and used the Classic Label Punch for the sentiment.  I love it.

As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today. 
Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Petal Passion Wedding or Anniversary Card



Hello Hivers, 

I am so thrilled at the way this card turned out.  I looks so elegant with the Powder Pink strip down the side.  I used one of the large cards from the Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack and just added a Lots of Labels die wit a sentiment.  I accented the area with an element from the Petals & More Thinlits.  The Pearl Basic Jewels were the final touch.

As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today. 
Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Picture Perfect Circles



Hello Hivers, 

Finding different ways to show off DSP can be difficult at times.  But with the Picture Perfect Party DSP stack it is super easy.  I just added the sentiment on a Whisper White circle and mounted that on coordinating card stock punched with the Starburst Punch.  These cards will come in handy with all the upcoming birthdays in my family.

As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today. 
Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Petal Passion Memories & More Card



Hello Hivers, 

I can't seem to put this suite of products away.  I am enjoying playing with the Petal Passion Suite.  Here I have created a card using the stamp set and one of the elements from the Memories & More Card Pack. I love the these colors together.  

As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today. 
Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Petal Palette Narrow Note Card



Hello Hivers, 

Here's a quick Narrow Note card I made using the Petal Palette Bundle.  It all went together rather easily.  I need to work more with these Narrow Note Cards.  I am not use to designing for such a narrow and small area.  It is a challenge for me, but I am determined to overcome it.

As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today. 
Until next time....Buzzz you later.

Treat Yourself with Picture Perfect





Hello Hivers, 

Aren't you just loving the 20018 Occasions Catalog?  I know I am.  I am hoping that my favorites carry over to the new Annual Catalog coming in June.  Here's a cute fun fold card using the Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set and DSP stack.  I added some Glimmer Paper from the Myths & Magic Suite of products cut out using the Layering Ovals Framelits.  You can see the card opened up in the photo below.

As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today.

Lookin' Sharp Truly Tailored



Hello Hivers, 

I think I have done it.  I am so pleased with this masculine card.  I knew if I just kept at it I would create something that I really loved using the Truly Tailored stamp set.  What do you think of my card? Leave a comment and let me know.

Petal Palette Bundle SBTD Blog Hop April 2018



Hello Hivers, 

Welcome to another monthly Stampers By The Dozen Blog Hop.  This month we are focusing on Bundles.  Bundles are items, when purchased together, have a 10% savings built into the cost.  The bundle of my choice for this hop is the Petal Palette Bundle.  I will actually be using a few items from the entire Petal Passion Suite.  

Of course, I will be using the Petal Palette Bundle which includes the Petal Palette stamp set and the Petals & More Thinlits; but I will also be using the Petal Passion Memories & More Card Pack along with the Petal Passion Designer Series Paper.  All of these items can be found in the 2018 Occasions Catalog on pages 22-24.
Note:  The stamp set and thinlits will be available in the upcoming 2018-2019 Annual Catalog, but not at the 10% savings Bundled price.

Now on with the project.  

Today I have created a set of 4 cards.  I also made a holder that can hold all 4 cards and envelopes.  I want to thank Crafty Caroline for the inspiration of the Card Holder.  She made one for Note Cards & Envelopes.   I simply adjusted the measurements to fit full size standard cards and envelopes.

Picture Perfect Banners



Hello Hivers, 

Here is another set of quick and simple cards using the Picture Perfect Party DSP stack.  I just added a banner with the sentiment and done.  This paper is so stunning.  It could really stand on its own.  You only have a few short weeks left to purchase this paper.  The Occasions Catalog will be retiring on May 31, 2018.

Waterfront Good Times



Hello Hivers, 

I love making cards that were inspired by another card.  It isn't a CASE but close to it.  I used the Waterfront stamp set along with the Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper to create this card.  The original card, seen below, is from the Stampin' Success Magazine put out by Stampin' Up! for demonstrators only.

Truly Tailored Pipes




Hello Hivers, 

Here are two cards that I whipped up quickly. I am still struggling to use the Truly Tailored stamp set.  I am determined to make something great with this suite of products.  I really love the designer paper that coordinates with this stamp set.  Maybe I need to draw some inspiration from that.

Cozy Cottage CASE


Hello Hivers, 

Today I am sharing a cute little note card that I CASE'd from the Stampin' Success Magazine.  This is a demonstrator only magazine that is published quarterly to give us demonstrators important information, ideas, and encouragement.  As with most of my CASE'd projects, I changed a few things to make this card my own.  I love the touch of silver from the Myths & Magic Washi Tape and Metallic Foil Doilies.  Below is a photo of the original card from Stampin' Up!

All The Buzzz -- Retiring Products and Color Revamp


Hello Hivers, 

There is a lot going on with Stampin' Up! right now.  All good things!  They have announced the retiring list for the Annual and Occasions Catalogs and we are getting a Color Revamp.  I have so much to share with you today.  So let's get started.

Click on any image below to see the images of retiring products in that category.




Occasions Catalog Retiring List -- PDF

Annual Catalog Retiring List -- PDF





Please note: that all BUNDLES are retiring, but NOT ALL bundle items are retiring.  This means you will no longer be able to purchase these items in a bundle and save 10%.  If the items in a current bundle are carried over to the new 2018-2019 catalog, it will no longer be available as a bundle, but you will be able to purchase these items separately.









 


Here is a photo of the New 2018-2019 Annual Catalog.  We are only permitted to show images of the front cover.


Sales Period for Customers:  June1, 2018-June 3, 2019



Now, on to the 2018 COLOR REVAMP.

You may notice on the retiring lists that all the colors are listed.  However, all of the colors are not retiring.  They are all on the list because the ink pad cases have been redesigned, so the cases are what is being retired.  Only the colors listed below in the "Colors Going Away" section will be retiring with the exception of Flirty Flamingo.  

Keep in mind that if a color is retiring, it's coordinating ink pads, ink refills, cardstock, DSP, ribbon, and embellishments will be retiring as well.   


Click on images to see a more clear picture.



In addition to new colors, we also redesigned our ink pads. The case is a new, more intuitive design and we’ve improved the formula of the ink, as well! We think you will love these changes.

As always, thanks for Buzzzing by the Hive today. 
Until next time....Buzzz you later.
