Stampin' Up! Ornate Style

Stampin' Up! Ornate Style for FMS430

I love a good sketch challenge because they make me think outside my box. I found this one at Freshly Made Sketches  

 I don't have any diamond-shaped dies cut so I tried some of my squares turned on their side but I didn't like the way they look so I decided to use the Stitched Nested Labels. Because I figure they were close enough.  I made 2 different cards but this one was my favorite. I will post the other tomorrow. 

I glued a piece of the Ornate Garden  Designer Series Paper(DSP) to my card base and then I die cut it. This DSP is part of a sneak peek from the Stampin'Up! 2020 annual catalog that will be debuted in June. 

 The paper features a peek at one of the new 2020-2022 In Colors that will be released with the new catty. According to the DSP package, it is called Bumblebee. I am going to guess that the new color is one of the yellows. What do you think?

The stamp I used is from the Ornate Style stamp set, also a sneak peek. I used a little Wink of Stella on the centers of the flowers and added a little bling. 

Since I am not sure who I am going to send this card to I choose a sentiment that could have multiple meanings. I could use this as a sympathy card or a thank you or and I love you. The Sentiment is from the Rooted in Nature stamp set.

Thanks for visiting my blog today. I hope I have inspired you to do something creative today. If you live in the USA and need a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I will be happy to help you.

Stampin' Up! Weather Together

Stampin' Up! Weather Together 

April Showers Bring May Flowers

I think everyone has heard it. Usually, on a rainy day, someone will say April Showers Bring May Flowers. But it is not really about gardening. It's a reminder that sometimes we have to go through difficult or unpleasant things to get to the beauty. 

This saying inspired my card. I do not have a sentiment stamp with the saying so I wanted to create a card that evoked the memory of it.

I started with the umbrella. I didn't just want to stamp it. I want to stamp in on Designers Series paper(DSP) so that it would have a pretty background. I have never been someone who carries a solid color umbrella. If I need to use an umbrella, I want it to be bright and cheery

I  tried out several different frame-lits for the flowers before I found one that I liked. I die cut 4 different colors for the flowers. I choose colors that coordinated with the DSP. It's easy to do that because Stampin' Up! puts the colors that they designed the DSP to coordinate with on the back of the paper package and in the catalog description of the paper.  I put a pearl on each flower to give them a little extra dimension and because I like the bling!

Stampin' Up! Statement of My Heart

Stampin' Up! Statement of My Heart for FMS 335

As soon as I saw this sketch at Freshly Made Sketches  I knew I was going to turn it on its side and use the new Statement of the Heart Stamp. 

It took me a lot longer to choose the colors and papers I wanted to use because there are so many new colors and choices. I love the new Share What You Love Speciality Designer Series Paper(DSP)

It's is absolutely beautiful. I love the shimmer from the pearlized flowers. 

There are 6 different papers. Each piece is doubled sided so you get 12 different designs. This is a BIG pack of paper with 4 sheets of each doubled sided design for 24 total sheets.  There are so many possibilities for this paper. It was so hard to decide which one to use. I tried my  3 favorites first.

They are so beautiful but I felt the shimmer of the paper and the copper embossed powder that I was using were to much so I decided to use a beautiful floral withour shimmer.

And for my card base I choose the new 2018-2020 In-Color Grapefruit Grove

I heat embossed the sentiment with the Copper Stampin Emboss Powder.

I love our Statement of the Heart. Because it really sums up how I feel. I love what I do and I share what I love and I hope to make a difference.
