Floating Sunset

When I saw Laura’s Floating Sunset Palm card I did a little happy dance. I knew this was a card I would love making again and again, and the Paradise Palms bundle absolutely makes this project!

  • Stamps: Paradise Palms, Here Together
  • Color Palette: Sahara Sand, So Saffron, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, Sweet Sorbet, Poppy Parade, Starry Sky, Very Vanilla, Old Olive
  • Accessories: Big Boss, Palms dies, Layering Circles dies, Watercolor Paper, Ink Refill, Water Painters, Window Sheets, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The technique is really simple: cut a circle from our window sheets and adhere strips of colored card stock. I chose to vary their width, which also allowed me to include more colors. 😁 I added a little color to the palm, and used Starry Sky to wash the watercolor paper with color for the background.

I made a second version with the sun sinking into the water. I considered changing the color of the background for this, but honestly, this is how it looks when I watch the sun go down, so I kept it.

A card held open to show 3 small palm trees on the inside. Behind the card is a stamp case with palm images

The inside of this card was begging for these 3 palms, which I colored with Stampin’ Write markers.

Do you see that label on my stamp case? 22JJ? I embraced my inner nerd and made labels for each case to indicate the catalog where they first appeared. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to dig back for that information, so now when my order comes I get out my label maker and put labels on EVERYTHING.

22JJ means this bundle is made its debut in the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog. It has carried over to the 22-23 Annual Catalog, but it is NOT available as a bundle in the Annual Catalog. That means you have until June 30 to save 10% on this indispensable bundle, so SHOP NOW.

For just $99 you’ll choose $125 in Stampin’ Up! product and receive a bonus of 22 – 24 In Color Grid Paper, ink pad assortment, cardstock assortment, and Designer Series paper – an added value of $66.50.

MAY 2022 DIY: Lovely You

Posted on by

I’m conflicted: do I show you Last Chance stamps that I’ll really miss, or new 22-23 goodies I can’t wait to share?? What if I can do both things??

  • Stamps: Lovely You (Last Chance), Here Together, Forever Fern
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Orchid Oasis, Polished Pink, Parakeet Party, Daffodil Delight
  • Accessories: Masking paper

TRUTH: Masking paper is coming in the 22-23 Annual Catalog and I cannot wait to get my hands on it, but it was not available for pre-order. It will be on my first order, though!! I used a sticky note in this case, but one of the advantages of masking paper is that it adheres on all edges. Stand by for updates!

Retiring Lovely You features petite images, perfect for accenting, and wonderful sentiments in a block/script font combination. It’s the sentiments that I’ll miss the most. Love Changes Everything is from our out-of-catalog special promotion featuring the Here Together stamp set, Here for You dies, All Together DSP and our new Naturals Blends – which are back in stock!

Our new In Colors for 22-24 are bright and beautiful, and I’ve featured Orchid Oasis and Parakeet Party here in combination with Daffodil Delight and the 21-23 In Color, Polished Pink. It’s a saturated, summery palette, perfect for May

Take a moment to visit Cheryl and Crystal for their May calendars. We all enjoy creating these whimisical miniatures each month, and hope you enjoy them too.

Coloring In the Moment

I love to color, and I really love to color with Stampin’ Blends. We were given In the Moment as part of our swag for last year’s OnStage event, and I’ve been playing with the images – in lots of color combinations!

I’m always learning as I do it, and I confess that while my work isn’t perfect, it makes me happy, and I’ve decided not to judge it any more than that.

You can probably see that I played a lot with the colors – I added some Crumb Cake over the Petal Pink to darken the tone on the blanket. This image is open to interpretation – what’s the shirt and what’s the blanket? Does it matter? No. No, it does not. Just color it and be happy.
