Sheltering Tree Sympathy

Today's card is a sympathy card made with the Sheltering Tree stamp set.  I love fresh fig...it's one of our in colors.  

The subtles folder added a great embossed background.  The lace trim and fresh fig sheer ribbon add a nice vintage look to this card.  The greeting comes from the new greeting set called Itty Bitty Greetings found on page 46 of the 2018-19 catalog.  Sheltering Tree set is found on page 140.   Three metallic gold pearls to highlight the greeting.  

Thanks for stopping by...hope you enjoyed today's card.

Varied Vases

Good Sunday Morning to all!  Today's card was made with the new Varied Vases bundle found on page 45 of the 2018-2019 catalog.  It is a photopolymer stamp set with a  matching punch.  When you buy them in the bundle you will receive 10 % off the purchase price.

I am loving the new colors that Stampin' Up! came out with in this new catalog.  I will miss some of the old, but a whole new color palette to play with is soooo much fun.  Here are the new colors:

The new in colors are in this chart:

The card above uses petal pink, soft sea foam, grapefruit grove, and vanilla.  Btw, vanilla, black, and white are found in the basics category now, not in the neutrals.  You can find them on page 184 under the neutrals.  I added a bit of wink of stella found on page 203 for $8 to the flowers to give them a little sparkle.  I used the Big Shot with the layering circles framelits to cut the circle and scallop piece out of petal pink and vanilla.  Then also embossed the layered leaves on the soft sea foam strip.  I had the tailored tag punch sitting on my stamp table so I used it to flag the greeting pieces.  

Thanks for stopping by today!

  

Oh March!

Somehow I knew that March would be this way--hang with me; sorry for the absence but calving takes over my life this time of the year.  Today I am posting yet another mixed bunch card.  I love this color combo with pool party, vanilla and black. 

It uses the mixed bunch stamp set from the occasion's mini and greetings are from either loving thoughts (occasion's mini) or curly cute stamp sets.  I love that the mixed bunch has the blossom punch to coordinate and also used a square punch to make the flagged ends to the greetings.  Then the scallop trim border punch with the black cs.  The ribbon is a piece of 3/8 inch black taffeta with the chantilly over the top--love that look.  The dsp is first edition and is a specialty paper in the IB&C.  It is still Sale-a-bration time and if you would like to place an order I will tell you to keep watch here as later this month before it ends I am going to do a mystery hostess workshop here on the blog!  Stay tuned for details and due date.
