When I received my 2024/2025 Annual Catalog the first suite that caught my eye was the Mediterranean Blooms Suite of products, found on page 35. I fell in love with everything in the suite, which includes: Citrus Blooms stamp set Citrus Blooms dies Mediterranean...
LAYERS OF BEAUTY CARD
Have you noticed the Layers of Beauty bundle of products on page 57 of the new Annual Catalog? This was my second purchase from the catalog, and I'm so glad I bought it. The bundle includes a stamp set, dies and decorative masks. Included masks work like magic and...
BEAUTIFUL NEW IN COLORS!
I admit it - I am in love with the beautiful new In Colors! The names are lovely: Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pretty In Pink, Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash. They coordinate so well with each other, as well as with many of Stampin' Up!'s core colors. I decided to make a...
BEAUTIFUL PAINTED LAVENDER
Today I saw a card made with the beautiful Painted Lavender Dies and Perennial Lavender 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper and dies. The card was designed by Dawn Olchefski, and I thought is was so stunning that I had to share it. Good news - carrying over to the...

DAISIES IN WILD WHEAT
My card today features a new stamp set, Cheerful Daisies, and one of Stampin' Up!'s new 2023-2025 In Colors, Wild Wheat. I had second thoughts when I first saw this color, but decided to work with it to see what I could come up with. To my surprise Wild Wheat can...
ART GALLERY CARD
My stamp club met yesterday, and we made a card using the retiring Art Gallery stamp set. I am sad to see this two-step stamp set go away because the images are so strong, yet so beautiful. We also used the Masking Technique to give the card some depth. For some...

For the first time in ages I made and mailed my Easter cards in time for them to arrive before the holiday. I am usually a day (or more) late and a dollar short. I missed out on getting Stampin' Up!'s Bunny Punch before it went on backorder. So instead I decided to...
