Positive Inkers Blog Hop - May 2023

Hello Stamping Friends! I’m thrilled to join the fabulous Positive Inkers Design Team for our May 2023 Blog Hop. We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from around the globe who are super-excited to share our love of creativity. I’m so happy you stopped by today!

If this is the fist time you are visiting, please let me introduce myself. My name is Anne Marie Hile and I live in San Antonio, Texas. Welcome!

Our theme for this month is: New Annual Catalog Products!

The new Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalog launches on May 2nd and let me tell you, there is a LOT to love. As a Demonstrator, we were able to preorder a select group of products early in April. I ordered a *cough, cough* few things and the Cheerful Daisies stamp and die bundle is one that I seem to be reaching for a lot. So, that’s what I went with for our hop this month!

*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my projects below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.

Cheerful Daisies is featured in a “suite” meaning it also has coordinating Designer Series Paper and embellishments that work together beautifully. However, as I have been using this set, I only seem to be gravitating toward the colors with the coordinating DSP…which is NOT bad. They are meant to go together! I just wanted to challenge myself to play with this stamp set outside of the color combos and patterns in the coordinating paper.

I completely forgot to order Lemon Lolly on my initial preorder, so it just arrived last Friday. This is probably one of my favorite shades of yellow EVER! Sooo soft and subtle! I decided that i wanted to pair it up with a softer color combo and went with a beautiful returning color (Lost Lagoon) and my favorite neutral (Crumb Cake). I really like how this card came together and I hope you do as well.

Card Measurements & Details:

Lost Lagoon Card Base: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, scored at 4-1/4”
Crumb Cake Cardstock: 5-1/4” x 4”
Lemon Lolly Cardstock: 5-1/8” x 3-7/8”, emboss with Basics 3D Embossing folder
Basic White Cardstock: die-cut rectangle from Radiating Stitches Dies
Basic White Cardstock: scraps to stamp and die-cut daisy images, accent with Wink of Stella
Lost Lagoon Cardstock: scrap to die-cut (3) sprigs from Cheerful Daisies Dies
Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems and Linen Thread
Basic White Cardstock: 5-1/4” x 4”, stamp stem and sentiment in Crumb Cake ink (flower was extra, stamped in Lost Lolly and Crumb Cake

Finally, a peek inside the card. I die-cut an extra daisy and didn’t want to to go to waste, so I simply stamped a stem and made it work. Of course, I added more Wink of Stella for sparkly detail.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today and that you are inspired to create with YOUR favorite products from the new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog!

April 2023 - Stamping Sunday Blog Hop

Hello Stamping Friends! Today, I’m super-excited to share the April 2023 Stamping Sunday Blog Hop. We share on the second Sunday of every month.

Our theme for the month is “From Little Seeds” where we are each sharing projects revolving around the Spring or Fall seasons. I’m doing a lot of planting in my yard right now, so this theme really resonated with me. There are always beautiful projects from the team sure to inspire your creativity. Welcome, I’m so happy you are here today!

For my project, I decided to create my card with the fabulous Cheerful Daisies Bundle. This product will be part of a new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up!® starting May 2nd, 2023. As a Demonstrator, I was able to preorder the product early and it just arrived to me last week. I couldn’t wait to start creating with it!

*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my projects below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post

Oh, how I love to pre-order new products! The Cheerful Daisies Bundle is so beautiful and perfect for so many occasions. It is always so exciting to play with new stamps…and new COLORS! This card features two of the new 2023-2025 In Colors: Pebbled Path (sentiment label) and Wild Wheat (sprig die-cuts). They are also featured in the new Fresh As a Daisy Designer Series Paper along with a new color: Lemon Lolly. That’s the lighter yellow in the DSP. Wouldn’t you know, I forgot to order it on my original preorder. And I’ve placed three orders since last Tuesday and still forgot to add it. Grrr! BUT Crushed Curry is also featured in this pattern, so I went with that and I think it looks pretty good.

I also used the Scalloped Contours Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies which are two of my all-time favorites. They are so versatile, I use them SO much. One thing that’s a little tough to see in the photos is that I layered two of the die-cut daisies together and popped them up with a Stampin Dimensional. The top layer daisy is brushed with Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush (or “Stink of Wella” as I refer to it thanks to my friend Juliene). I stamped the center of the flower and popped that up on Stampin’ Dimensionals, too. This card is pretty “fluffy” in-person which I love!

Card Measurements and Details:

Garden Green Cardstock: 4-1/4” x 11”, scored at 5-1/2”
Crushed Curry Cardstock: 4” x 5-1/4”
Fresh As a Daisy Designer Series Paper (coming 5/2): 3-7/8” x 5-1/8”
Crushed Curry Cardstock: 3-7/8” x 1-1/2”, die-cut scalloped border from Scalloped Contours Dies
Vellum Cardstock: scrap to die-cut the largest circle from Stylish Shapes Dies
Scraps of Garden Green, Wild Wheat, Basic White for die-cutting the layered daisy and foliage
Pebbled Path Cardstock: scrap to die-cut sentiment label from Cheerful Daisies Dies, heat emboss sentiment
Brushed Brass Butterflies
Basic White Cardstock (card interior): 4” x 5-1/4”, stamp sentiment is Pebbled Path ink and flowers in Crushed Curry ink
Fresh As a Daisy Designer Series Paper (card interior, coming 5/2): 3/8” x 5-1/4”

Here is a look inside the card! I simply added another strip of that gorgeous DSP along with a stamped sentiment and floral image. I always need birthday cards and this one is sure to bring a smile to the recipient.

I hope you enjoyed these projects today using the upcoming Cheerful Daisies Bundle! Please continue along on the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop to check out more awesome creative inspiration filled with lots of beautiful projects.
