Good Morning Magnolia
Hello Stampers! There's so much to love in Stampin' Up!'s new 2019-2020 annual Catalog that debuts June 4. The Magnolia Lane Suite is absolutely gorgeous and can be used for many occasions. In addition to the Enjoy Today sentiment used in today's cards, other greetings include: Thanks, Thinking of You, Hello as well as some great inside verses. I've used a Soft Suede base that measures 4 1/4 by 8 1/2 and folded. The Petal Pink panel is 4 1/8 x 4 1/8. I stamped the magnolia image in Soft Suede ink on to a piece of Whisper White card stock measuring 4 x 4. I applied Petal Pink ink to the flowers and Soft Sea Foam ink on the leaves with...

Gable Box Gifts
Hello Stampers! Each time I hold a class or event, I love to treat the attendees with some kind of treat packaging -- with chocolate inside, of course! Stampin' Up!'s Mini Gable Boxes are fun to decorate with Designer Series Papers, ribbons, and sentiments. They are perfect for baby shower and bridal shower treats and would even work well for wedding favors. These boxes are retiring from Stampin' Up! catalog and won't be available after June 3. You receive 12 boxes for $8. I decorated the boxes with the 12 x 12 Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper (this paper is retiring). I used four pieces: 2 cut at 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 inches and 2 cut at 1...

#simplestamping Challenge
Hello Stampers! For the last several months, Stampin' Up! has issued a #simplestamping challenge. This month, the challenge calls for us to create a card using just rubber stamps, ink, and paper featuring a retiring stamp set. I used Lovely as a Tree as my focal point. This stamp set has been in Stampin' Up!'s catalog longer than any other set -- since 2001. It officially retires June 3 and won't be available through Stampin' Up! It's a staple for the card-maker's shelf as it lends itself well to a lot of different occasions. I added a sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings, which WILL be available in the upcoming catalog. This card uses the...
