May blog hop and Mother's Day cards!

Welcome to the May 2018 blog hop with Di's Country Inkers!  Our theme this month is Mother’s Day. Here is my project for the blog hop:

I just bought the large letter framelits and wanted to use them somehow, and found that cutting the letters MOM from different designer papers was fun and different.

Here are some closeups and other angles of my card:

My card is cased from the card on p. 129 in the annual catalog.  These are the Stampin’ Up products I used for my card:

Flourish thinlits

Bitty bow, pearls

Linen thread

Large letter framelits (adhered with dimensionals to “pop” them up)

Ruffles embossing folder

Eastern medallions thinlit

Soft sky and powder pink cardstock

You can get all of these Stampin’ Up products I used in my online store:  http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/marynoble/

The Occasions catalog runs until the end of this month.

Last Chance Products Stampin' Up

Just wanted to remind you of Stampin' Up's retiring lists, which you can see in my online store. 

 http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/marynoble/

That means there is a new catalog and new products not far behind....the upcoming Stampin' Up catalog has the new In Colors on the front of it:

You will want to be sure to look at the retiring items/last chance lists as supplies are limited, including the inkpads, etc.  They will be making some new improvements to the inkpads so they will be easier to open, among other things.

 On May 31, 2018, a lucky thirteen core colors are retiring:  Always Artichoke, Chocolate Chip, Elegant Eggplant, Island Indigo, Marina Mist, Perfect Plum, Pink Pirouette, Rose Red, Soft Sky, Tangerine Tango, Tempting Turquoise, Wild Wasabi, Wisteria Wonder

The 2016-2018 In Colors are retiring: Dapper Denim, Emerald Envy, Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugar Plum (Flirty Flamingo will return as a core color.)

Please be sure to stock up on these favorites today before they are sold out.

You can also purchase any of the retiring products in my online store:

Stampin' Up final Sale-A-Bration days - a popup card

The best sale of the year from Stampin' Up is almost over - March 31st is the last day to get free products in the Sale-A-Bration!!  When you purchase $50 of product, you get to choose free items in the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  

There are so many great free items to pick, but one of my favorite ones is the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper.  It is glossy, foil-designed, spring-inspired paper In three colors: Gold foil, Rose Gold foil, Silver foil, and you get 12 sheets: 3 each of 4 single-sided designs:

I have been seeing so many different ideas of how this paper can be used, colored, cut!  I have been intrigued by pop-up and paper engineering, and used this technique to make this card.  The flower paper in this pack is perfect for fussy cutting and placing on a paper project with dimensionals.  Even though I don't like to do fussy cutting, these flowers look so beautiful and were so worth the effort!

I also used the polka dot paper from this pack.  I colored the flowers and leaves with pool party ink and a blender pen, as well as edged the card with pool party, and stamped the greeting with this color.  

Other products I used were:

Birthday blooms (For you greeting)

Pearl on dragonfly

Detailed dragonfly thinlits

Layering square framelits (to make scalloped edge frame)

Delicate white doilies

Soft Sky 3/8" Classic Weave Ribbon

You can check out the rest of the Sale-A-Bration items in my online store:

Don't forget the last day to get your free products is March 31st!

March blog hop - SaleABrations!

Welcome to the March 2018 blog hop with Di's Country Inkers!  Our theme this month is Sale-A-Bration – this promotion ends March 31, so we wanted to give it a final highlight!  Here is my project:

These are the Stampin’ Up products I used for my card: 

·       Heartfelt Blooms (you can get this beautiful stamp set free in the Sale-a-brations catalog!) – ever since I saw this on a card, I have been wanting to use it.  This special stamp has an interesting story to it:  A beautiful, photographic bouquet in a gorgeous vintage look, it’s a one-step stunner for all your projects!  Stamp in one color or stamp in a neutral color and color in your favorite shades. 

The new Distinktive stamp lays down the ink at different opacities which gives the finished image more depth. DistINKtive is a patent-pending stamp production process that creates photo realistic style stamps; for this stamp the artists actually styled a bouquet of flowers and photographed it to create the image. Then the manufacturing facility turned the image into rubber. The result is this stamp. I found when I stamped it, it came out clear and beautiful; the pictures do not do it justice!!  Since it is in the Sale-A-Bration catalog, it is only available until March 31, so be sure you get yours now.

·       1/4” white organza ribbon which I dyed with perfect plum inkpad to match the perfect plum flower and cardstock (Occasions catalog)

·       Petal pair embossing folder (Occasions catalog)

·       Waterfront stamp set – greeting “Love never gives up” (Occasions)

·       Elegant Eggplant cardstock on which I embossed the greeting

·       Pearls

Scallop circle punch

SaleABrations ends March 31th. The Occasions catalog runs until the end of May.
