What brings fall to mind? The smells or look? For me it is the color (as I live in sunny SoCal and there is perpetual green). The Blackberry Beauty Suite is full of stunning color combos that just scream fall!

This last week at my Stamping Cuties Team meeting, my friend Lori Sue was one of the ladies to provide the project and I learned a new process to make the stunning background you see behind this sweet snowflakes…

I had so much fun working with the stunning Blackberry Beauty Ephemera Pack, and could hardly believe how easy it was to make 14 cards in just a couple of hours (2 of each). The elements in the ephemera pack add elegance to any card. This lovely pack has 40 pieces (2 each of each piece), and makes lots of cards. The card pack coordinates perfectly with the Blackberry Beauty DSP.

I wish oh wish oh wish I lived in an area that had the stunning fall leaves of the Midwest and Northeast!! I can make them for myself by using the new 2021 Fall Mini Sparkle of the Season Bundle, and the Time of Giving Bundle. I can hardly wait to put out my fall wreath, so decided to create one I could enjoy early!

What’s not to love about beautiful fall pumpkins!! There is nothing more pleasant than tramping through the pumpkin patch and picking out that perfect set of pumpkins! My favorites are the new varieties that come in pale shades of green or peach. This Pretty Pumpkins Bundle is just the prettiest stamp set!!

If you love Stampin’ Up!’s beautifully detailed imagery that gets the creative juices flowing, then the FREE (with a $50 order) Sale-a-bration Feels Like Home Stamp Set is just perfect! When I am looking at this gorgeous stamp set, I am reminded of my trip to London with my sister a few years back. We were able to stay in a beautiful Chelsea townhome and I just loved the individual color and care that was given to each front door as we walked the streets in the Chelsea District.

I was so excited that the Sale-a-bration Catalog had coordinating items to go with the 2021-22 Annual Catalog. I received the Shaded Summer Stamp set as a free gift from Stampin’ Up! and LOVE that they decided to add a coordinating set of dies (Summer Shadow dies) that I could get also for FREE out of the Sale-a-bration catalog!! These flowers are stunning by themselves or go great with the stamp set.

Love FREE stamps? Me too!! This Delicate Dahlia stamp set is free with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-bration. While Sale-a-bration ends September 30th, don’t miss out, as this gorgeous stamp set is only as supplies last. Once Stampin’ Up! runs out, there will be no re-orders.

It is not very often that I find time to watercolor with my cards, but when I do… I am unable to stop without a HUGE effort of self control! The Quiet Meadow Bundle was featured last month, but once I looked at the Meadow Dies, I got so excited as I could see potential of what the lovely wildflower silhouettes could become when watercolored. And then Stampin’ Up! added more glorious wildflower Harvest Dies in the Natures Meadow Suite!!

This stunning suite is my most favorite of all times!! The paper is just amazing, and the free-style element of the florals and alcohol ink technique are just so very pleasing to the eye and to create with. BLISS!!

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “Many eyes go through the meadow, but few see the flowers in it.” See whimsical wildflowers, fluttering butterflies, pretty plants, and more with the beautiful Quiet Meadow Bundle! The delicate petals, lovely leaves and intricate details of the Quiet Meadow Stamps Set & Meadow Dies are stunning as a simple card or a more intricate design card or art piece.

I was prepping for my stamp camp and was CASE’ing (Copy And Share Everything) a cool bleach technique from another demonstrator, when I decided to venture out with the Daisy Garden Stamp. In playing with bleach, blends, and the new Daisy Garden stamp, I was super stoked to find lots of color change after applying bleach

For my May 2021 Stamp Camps, we used The Beauty Of The Earth Suite. It is a gorgeous new set from the 2021-22 Annual Catalog! This suite is comprised of the Beauty of Friendship Bundle (Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set and Beautiful Trees Dies), stunning Beauty of The Earth DSP, and the Bark 3D Embossing Folder. I cannot wait for fall, as this suite will be gorgeous with all the rich fall colors!!

When I saw the darling Oval Occasions Bundle in the June-July 2021 Mini Catalog, I fell in love with the sweet little bunnies. I have a grandbaby coming in May, and am looking for ideas for a Welcome Baby greeting. I love how they are adorable stamped simply or adding layers and embellishments. #simplestamping

I am really sad this sweet Arrange A Wreath Bundle is retiring as of May 3, 2021. I feel like I hardly had a chance to play with it before it will no longer be available to purchase. The wreath is a beautiful feature on a front door, greeting your visitors and inviting them in during the Christmas Season, but are now a feature nearly year around…

If you have been paper crafting for any amount of time, you will accumulate scraps that you just KNOW you will find a use for… and after a time, you will realize that there is hording going on in your paper supplies… hit a nerve? I know I am GUILTY!! I am have so many ideas that I never seem to have time to implement, but decided to teach my customers about cakes & gift boxes that can be made of scraps!

Oh Dandy Garden Suite… how do I love thee!! There is so much to this amazing suite that I can only begin to utilize all the adorable elements! This post is primarily about the Garden Wishes Bundle, as I feel it has not received nearly enough attention! While dandelions can be a gardener’s worst nemesis, it can also be a charming element to wildflower fields, pollen sources for bees, a wonder for small children as they pick and gift bouquets to their adoring moms or blow the dandelion seeds to kingdom come!!

I don’t know about you, but I love picnics with checked blankets, a hamper full of lovely goodies like ripe berries or little berry tarts… my tongue is watering just imagining. Well, that is what comes to mind when I saw the Sale-a-bration FREE Berry Delightful DSP and Berry Blessings stamp set that coordinates perfectly with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle!

Yeah for Sale-a-bration time!! Free DSP (Designer Series Paper) and stamp sets are the BOMB!! The FREE Paper Blooms DSP coordinates perfectly with the In Bloom Bundle featured in the NEW Mini Catalog!! How fun!! The sweet little blooms and soft colors make for fabulous cards and scrapbook pages.
