Here are the five colors — what are your first impressions? Well, take a look below for some comparisons and color combos!

Let’s look at each of them! First, we have Cloud Cover, a very pretty and soft grey/green with a hint of blue.

Here are a couple of color combos using Cloud Cover:

Next, we have a return by popular demand: Strawberry Slush, which retired in 2015, and is now back again. Many crafts loved this pretty pink-red. I can already imagine that this might be one of my favorites!

Here are some color combinations using this pretty color!

Next up is Darling Duckling, a beautiful alternative to our Daffodil Delight or Crushed Curry!

Check out some color combos using Darling Duckling!

Next up: Secret Sea! Is it a shade of black? Blue? Green? You decide!

Here are more combinations with this intriguing color:

Finally, Timid Tiger! A sweet, more mellow shade of orange:

Some color combinations:

THERE YOU GO! NOW, what do you think? Have you chosen a favorite yet! Please comment in this blog — I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!

I had so much fun at the OnStage Stampin’ Up! convention in Raleigh, North Carolina! Out of the many highlights of the weekend, the chance to swap cards with so many talented papercrafters was right there at the top! I made 50 cards of the design below, and of course, brought back 50 beautiful cards to stare at in awe! Here’s my card:

I started with a card base of Basic White Thick cardstock, cut at 8 1/2″ by 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. I then cut another 1 1/8″ off of the front of the card. I cut a 1″ by 5 3/8″ strip of DSP and adhered on the inside of the card at the right edge. I then took a panel of Basic White cardstock cut at 5 3/8″ by 3″ and ran it through the Cut n Emboss machine with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder. I adhered that to the front flap of the card base.

I used the Textured Notes Dies to cut out three panels:

• 2 3/4″ by 4 1/4″ in Pretty Peacock
• 3 3/4 by 2 1/4″ in Wild Wheat
• 2 1/4″ by 3/4″ in Basic White

I love the way each rectangle etches a different border pattern around the paper panels. These dies are fantastic!

I stamped the flower from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set, and a sentiment on the white panel. I also stamped a corner sentiment in the Wild Wheat panel. The Spring Corners stamp set is just delightful for adding some ‘corner’ variety to your cards – so cute! After adhering the Wild Wheat panel to the Pretty Peacock panel, I adhered them to the front of the card, but only put Stamp n Seal on one part of the panel, and then putting the panels over the edge of the front, like below:

I then adhered the sentiment panel, and put a double bow underneath the left side, using the Lost Lagoon Soft Cording.

I hope you liked my project. The card swaps were SO fun, and I got rewards with such beautiful cards to admire. It was so fun to make 50 of these, pack them up, and head to OnStage!

All the products are current now, and you can just click on the product below to start shopping with me. But hurry — many of the products will retire with the annual catalog, including the beautiful Wild Wheat In Color, so get them now!

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!

This month’s theme is “Birthday Celebrations.” The Pals hope to inspire you with card ideas and paper craft creations using Stampin’ Up! products. Links to the participants’ blogs can be found at the end of each post to help you “hop” along!

My card was made with the beautiful suite of products called the Wildflower Birthday Suite Collection. The designer series papers not only have gold-foiled images, pretty checks and stripes, and fun birthday patterns, but include birthday and floral patterned cut-outs. The stamp set has some great birthday sentiments, and the dies include numbers and fun banners elements as well. All in all, the whole suite sings, “Happy Birthday to You!” Here is my project:

I used the ‘faultline’ technique to create visual interest on the card front. I started with one of the card bases from the Stripes and Florals Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes, a nice soft pink textured card base. I then cut two panels of DSP from the Wildflower Birthday DSP at 3″ x 5 1/4.” I tore down the long side of each of the DSP panels to create torn edges while keeping the outside edges square. I then cut a 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the Ombre Glimmer paper.

I then adhered the glimmer paper down the center of the card front, and then fit the two pieces of torn DSP, one on each side, to the card base. I took a gold foil banner from the punch-out images, and draped that across the corner of the card, trimming each side of the banner to fit the card.

I cut a circle die in Vellum cardstock from the Spotlight on Nature dies. I adhered that to the bottom center of the card. I then used a pre-cut cake from the DSP and popped it up on the card over the vellum circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals, along with a small floral bunch.

I used the Textured Notes dies and two stamps from the Wildflower Birthday stamp set to stamp a “Happy” and a “Day” with Blueberry Bushel ink. I stamped each word on a rectangle die, and then cut the rectangles so each would tuck into the back of the cake. I wanted the cake image to actually be a PART of my sentiment — Happy Cake Day — get it? I then use Stampin’ Dimensionals and slid the sentiments in back of the cake.

I finished the card with a couple of Adhesive Heart Sequins. I used some matching DSP to decorate the flap of my envelope as well. I hope you enjoy my project. You can shop for all of these beautiful birthday card supplies by clicking on any of the products toward the end of this post.

We have more inspiration to share, so use the lineup below to visit each team member’s page for fresh ideas, unique styles, and endless inspiration. And get ready—next month, we’re designing for “The Male Room” theme, where we’ll be making cards for the men in our lives.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.
