A little bit of lace, Paper Players #443

This graphic in the new A Little Bit of Lace stamp set has been calling to me since I first saw the new catalog.  BTW, it goes live on June 4th, so be ready.
Anyway, everyone has been making stuff with the lace die an it is truly gorgeous, but I also just couldn't wait to get my hands on this stamp set.  All the stamps are so adorable and the fonts are awesome.

So, I used the sketch from the Paper Players this week for my card. Worked out perfect.
See the challenge here.

The card base is a new incolor Purple Posy and it matches up with our other 2 new purples, Highland Heather and Gorgeous grape!

It lace die will do a full sized card, but can also be cut into whatever sized pieces you would like, as I've done here.
I stamped and embossed my flowers in gold embossing, then colored on the back side of the vellum.  Love how it turned out!    The sentiment came from the new Floral Essence stamp set.
I also used Metallic Pearls in gold, the set of little tiny pearls comes with both gold and silver.  And I used Glitter Enamel Dots in the center of my flowers.

Pot of Flowers to say Hello, Paper Players challenge #442

Playing along with the Paper Players this week.  It's a clean and simple challenge and as much as I would have loved to have sprinkled some splatters around, I restrained myself.

Just go to the Paper Players site to join in or see everyone's projects.

I used the pot from the  set Crafting Forever, stamped it and cut the pot out from around the brushes it was holding.  Then I took the little flower set from Birthday Posies  and stamped that with the pot sitting in place but now popped up yet.  
I colored in the tiny flowers and leaves using Blends markers, set my pot down using dimentionals, stamped my little Hello from Itty Bitty Greetings.
My embossed panel under the design is Layered Leaves.
 I stamped and colored in 2 more little design pieces from the Birthday Posies for scattered flowers.

 

Sneak Peek New annual catty, Floral Essence, JAI#457

I'm combining some brand new items from the 2019-2020 annual catalog with the Challenge this week at Just Add Ink.     Here's the sketch:

My centerpiece flower is from the new set Floral Essence.  It's a gorgeous set and bundles with a punch.  I don't know about you but although I do love dies, punches are just easier to grab and use, so usually I'll be buying those sets. Not to mention, sets with a punch usually are less expensive as well.    A second punch that you may already have, a leaf punch, works on the leaves you see here which are also in the set. 

The color flower color and the card base color are Rococo Rose, a new incolor.  I'm in love after seeing it on a card. It pairs well so far with Flirty Flamingo and Blushing Bride, my leaves are Soft Sea Foam, which also seems to be working well with the rose.

The die cut I used at the bottom is from a new bundle called Good Morning Magnolia bundle.
Also used was the Stitched Shapes for the circle, and the Stitched Rectangle dies for the sentiment piece.  It was a bit too long, so I just did a banner end on it to shorten it up.

The sentiment is from the By The Bay set.
I hope I've given you some inspiration today, that is my aim.

New Sneak peek at Stampin Up, Free as a Bird

Yup, a new annual catalog is making it appearance, and it won't be long before it goes live.  On June 4th 2019 You will be able to order from this new catalog and I know you are seeing all kinds of samples already.  This set, Free as a bird, comes as a bundle with a big set of dies in the shape you see behind the birds.  It's called Stitched nested Labels dies. It also has one straight stitched die included. 

I used Cajun Craze to stamp and color most of the bird, but added in a bit of pink on the tummy and blue up around the neck.  I used the Blender pens for this, not the alcohol ink Blends, but the Blender pens you can just touch to your ink pads and use to color with changing colors as you please using the same one.

Flowers were done with Flirty Flamingo and the ribbon here is a left over spool from when this color as an incolor.   My green stitched rectangle is in Mossy Meadow as are my leaves. 
This was just one of the cards I did for my class last week, I'll be posting the other two over the next few days. 
Just a reminder that the current annual catalog is coming to a close, if there is something retired you want from it, or if you want something that is a bundle, do place an order very soon.   Even if the parts of the bundle carry over, you will loose the 10% price as it will no longer be sold as a bundle. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy kitty, FMS#386
