Sweet as a Peach

Well the brand new 2021-22 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog has been available for about a week, and I'm finally getting to play with some of my new toys.  😁  I had a hard time trying to decide what to create with first, but then I remembered a friend's birthday, and it became perfectly clear.

Sweet as a Peach, with the coordinating Peach dies made it to the top of my Wish List.  I love the little peaches (there's a big peach too!) and I love the colors in the designer paper.  And you save 10% when you purchase the bundle of stamps and dies together.   And who wouldn't want the dies to go with the stamps?  

There are lots of products on this card.  But I knew where to start - see that Basic White Ornate Layers frame?  It was sitting on my desk, a mistake happy accident from another card.  I stamped the branches in Pear Pizzazz, stamped the peaches using Pale Papaya (a NEW In-Color!) with some Flirty Flamingo sponged on them, and cut them out with the Peach dies. 

I knew I wanted the white frame to pop off the page, but it was so skinny!  So I cut another frame using the Stitched Rectangle dies with Pale Papaya cardstock to go inside - love how that worked!  The background is one of the sheets from the You're a Peach patterned paper, cut with the new Scalloped Contours dies, and all the elements are popped up on Dimensionals.  I finished with some of the new In Color Jewels.  

Check out the You're a Peach Suite (#155831).  It's so sweet!  

I'd love to be your Stampin' UP! demonstrator.  If you are currently looking for a demo, or if you would like a FREE catalog, please contact me.  I'm here to help you with your creative dreams.

New Catalog Intro

 So yesterday I showed you some samples from the beautiful new Beauty of the Earth suite, available now in the new 2021-22 Annual Catalog.  

But today I thought maybe you'd like to see some the other products that are available.  Take a look:

  So what do you think?  Are you ready to place your order?  

Today's the Day!

 It's time!  Time for the new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog from Stampin' UP!  Yes, you can now place your orders!  Yippee!!!

And with the release of the new catalog, I have some samples to show you from the gorgeous new Beauty of the Earth Suite of products.  

When I first saw Beauty of Friendship, I thought "autumn".  The trees, the fabulous Beauty of the Earth patterned paper, the dies--everything about the suite made me want to create in reds, oranges, yellows and greens.  

But then...I got to looking more closely and I decided to play a little more.  And I came up with an entire year of cards, season by season.  So let's take a look:

Spring:

This card is full of promise and springy colors.  From the tree, stamped in Soft Suede and Pear Pizzazz to the lightly textured background (lightly sponged with Pear Pizzazz), I love the simplicity.  

Summer:

A row of trees (just a piece of the patterned paper) mounted on Cinnamon Cider and some more of the designer paper makes a very simple card.  I just added a few of the Sequins for Everything to add a little punch.  

Fall:

I used the large tree die for this card.  I used Blending Brushes on Very Vanilla cardstock, using the tree canopy die to create a mask for the clouds (Misty Moonlight with the Blending Brushes).  The grass is Mossy Meadow with Blending Brushes.  And then that "under canopy" of the tree.  I blended Mossy Meadow, Merry Merlot and Bumblebee inks with the Blending Brushes, and cut it with the die.  The tree was added (cut from a wood-look piece of the patterned paper) and then the outer canopy, cut with the detailed die and more of the designer paper.  Very easy, and so effective!

Winter:

A Misty Moonlight base with Basic White cut with the new Scalloped Contours dies (there are SO many sizes and edges!).  The background is another piece of the Beauty of the Earth patterned paper, and then the trees:

I stamped them with Versamark ink and heat-embossed them with White Embossing Powder.  Then I cut them with the die - easy!

So you can see how versatile this suite is.  Need masculine cards?  No problem.  Need Christmas cards?  We've got you covered!  

Beauty of Friendship and the Beauty of the Earth suite are available now!
