What I love about this card I found on Pinterest posted by BJ Peters. I like a lot of the cards she posts so am providing you a link to her blog since you might like them too.
1. First off I love the color Lemon Lime Twist
2. Secondly, I love the embossing folder called Layered Leaves. It is one of the thicker folders that comes out with a very layered image.
3. Finally, I love the stamp set, the images, the matching thinlits and of course the matching designer paper.
Thanks BJ for a great card design.
This ends my week of favorites. Next week I will be returning from a great adventure in Maine with my family. I will feature my latest scrapbook layouts so come back and see what I made using old and new products.
This week I am posting 5 of my favorite stamp sets from the new catalog. Today I am featuring Crafting Forever as one of my Favorites.
This card also highlights each one of the new in-colors. People who sign up for my In-color class by July 21st will be able to make this card as an extra card. If they prepay for the class they will be able to make another extra card.
Tomorrow I will show you a card I made with this year's Ronald McDonald set called Sharing Sweet Thoughts. I think this set is one of my favorite McDonald sets for the last several years.
Attendees at the New Catalog Premier will be able to create a book mark like this one. I like to have it handy when I am reading so that I can have a reminder of the new colors at hand.
What stamp set is the flower on the book mark from? It is one of the 24 stamps in the set called Colorful Seasons.
Tomorrow I will post a card that stampers will make using this very cool stamp set.
Can you see the stencil I used with the embossing paste on this card? I thought it would be fun to try using the dragonflies. Here are the steps I used to make my stencil.
1. Use a piece of window sheet. It is stiff enough to make a stencil.
2. Cut out your desired stencil. At first I looked at what was left over when I cut out the strips of dragonflies and it was too open for what I wanted to use. Then, I looked at the strip and decided to try to put the paste over them.
3. I mixed the paste with the new Tranquil Tide in-color ink. I knew when I applied the paste that it would go beyond the edges of the stencil, so I did it intentionally. I moved the stencil to two different spots on the card stock. Then I filled in open areas with splotches of the paste. I loved the end results. And what better saying to put on this card than one about friends.
I hope you have had fun looking at these cards and are kind of excited about trying out the paste on your own. Don't work with a demonstrator already, then order from me from the link at the top of the page.
Next week, I will for sure show off the cards you will be able to make at my New Catalog Premier. Have a great week, and have fun stamping.
I had a downline meeting on Friday and we played with the new embossing paste. So this week instead of the cards for my in-color class, I am featuring cards I made with the new embossing paste. It is so much fun and easy to use.
This card used the stencil that has small little diamonds on it. I used the paste all by itself without adding any color.
The paste was put on the new in-color, powder pink card stock. so, for my flowers I decided to use each one of the pinks we now have in our color families. ( Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride and the new Powder Pink.)Start on the bottom left and then the bottom right and finally the top to see the color differences. I can see a difference can you.
I featured the stamp set Garden in Bloom, and old favorite that is still in the catalog and one I have not used for quite a while.
Come back tomorrow to see a card I made with the cloud stencil and the Beautiful You stamp set.
I love this Happy Birthday thinlit. It is stylish, fills up the card front and says it all. It looks pretty hard to attach to a card front without making a mess don't you think? Well, Stampin'Up! brought back their Multipurpose Adhesive sheets to help with that problem. And being a person that has a hard time throwing out things I might be able to use someday, I had some that I kept.
1. First you cut a piece of the adhesive sheet the size you need.
2. Next peel off one side of the sheet and attach it to a piece of card stock that is just a tiny bit bigger.
3. Cut the design you want on the big shot making sure the adhesive side is down.
4. Peel off the other side of the adhesive sheet and your design now has adhesive all over it and will stick easily to your project.
If you have not stored any for these past few years, then order some and you will love using them.
What a fun in-color week this has been. Come back on Monday to see samples of what people will be able to make at my new catalog Premier to be held also in July.
I love the simple look of a monochromatic card. How about you? This card features one of the new in-colors and a favorite thinlit. Can you picture this card make with each one of the new in-colors? This would make a great gift in a cute little envelope box for a friend.

Do you know what the final in-color is that is missing? Come back tomorrow to see how I used it for my final card this week.
When I saw this stamp set I thought it spoke to me and a lot of the people who come to my classes. And when I saw this color, Lemon-Lime Twist I immediately felt it was my favorite. So, why not make a card and put them together.
When I get a new package of Baker's Twine I hate to use it because of the kinks that are in the twine. So, the first thing I do is to wind the twine around a clothes pin that looks exactly like this stamp. When it is time to use the twine there are no more kinks.

Come back tomorrow to see how I used the Tranquil Tide colors to make a card using the Eastern Medallion Thinlits.
Does this pig make you smile like it does me? This was a set that we received free at the On Stage event I went to in April. Do you notice something different in the background of this card? It is the new embossing paste. At first I was not sure what to think, but now that I have used it.....I love it.

What could you make with this fun color and embossing paste
Come back tomorrow to see what I made using Lemon Lime Twist and the stamp set called Crafting Forever.
Last week instead of stamping, I was visiting with my 10 year old granddaughter Haley. What fun I had. When each one of my grandchildren turn 10 they come and spend a week of fun with grandma. Now, Haley is back home in Ohio, and I am ready to share my cards for the in-color class I will be holding in July.
First in-color is Berry Blast. This card is smaller than the normal sized card and features quite a few new items, in Berry Blast of course.
Colorful Seasons stamp set
Color Theory Designer paper stack
Glitter Enamel Dots
Can you imagine a similar card made with the other colors in the Color Theory designer paper stack?
Come back tomorrow to see the card I made using Powder Pink and This Little Piggy stamp set.
Aren't these daisies cute? And the sparkle in the center are the new Clear Faceted Gems. This is the front of the card Dina and I made together last Sunday. The colors of the daisies are two of the new in-colors, Lemon-Lime Twist (my favorite) and Tranquil Tide.
You may be thinking so what is so special about this card. Look what happens when you lift up the top layer......
The inside of the card twists and pops as you open it up. This is simple, but the message is quite clear and bold. Happy Birthday. Who wouldn't like to get a card like this.
I hope these cards have made you drool a little about some items in the new catalog. Come back next week to see what cards I am making with each one of the new in-colors for my In-Color card class to be held in July.
Are you excited? Today at 1:00 central standard time we can order from the new catalog. Have you seen one yet? I have had mine since the beginning of April and have looked through it several times.
These 4 cards were one of our make n takes at the last Butterfly Friends meeting held in May. Here are the new products these simple but really cute cards feature.
1. New stamp set call Colorful Seasons. The stamps can be used for all 4 seasons.
2. New in-color called Berry Blast (the pink card)
3. New paper stack called Color Theory designer paper stack. One of the papers looks like paint chips, the others blend the colors with an Ombre look, and the back of the papers looks like cracked paint.
4. New embellishment called Glitter Enamel Dots. These come in 4 colors, but each color has several different shades.
I'll be finalizing my list of things to order today. Contact me if you would like to have a gathering with friends where we can make cards similar to these.
Come back tomorrow to see one of my very favorite new thinlits.
