The Open Sea

I used The Open Sea set stamped directly on the Beau Chateau designer paper, matted with Soft Suede and Marina Mist. Spritzed entire front with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch. Sponged on some color to the main image, distressed edges with More Mustard and Crumb Cake and pierced top and bottom.
All supplies are Stampin' Up.

Sail Away on The Open Sea

I used the Stampin' Up Summer Mini sets The Open Sea and Sail Away with the Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, and Very Vanilla cardstocks. I stamped the manisfest on the card base in matching ink, stamped compass on olive in chocolate and then embossed with Lattice Squares folder. Jumbo eyelets on sides and panel stitched with Espresso baker's twine. Rounded top edges.

New SU paper and cardstock

I was going to use the new Doily stamp set for my quilt, but once I saw how these three designs from that coordinating pack looked like a baby design, I went in that direction.
This is the new Flirtatious paper from the upcoming catalog with the new In Color Wisteria Wonder. The stamp set is Bear Hugs, colored in Copic markers. Square doily is non-SU.

Fabulous Florets

All supplies are current Stampin' Up. Beyond The Garden designer paper with So Saffron, Tangerine Tango, and Whisper White. Inks: Tangerine, Riding Hood Red and Wild Wasabi. Fabulous Florets stamp set and Daffodil Delight taffeta ribbon.
This is from today's Featured Stamper challenge, a modified case honoring Mary Brown.

New Catalog Case

Wait until you see the new samples in the Stampin' Up catalog, I think they are the best so far! I couldn't resist casing the Fifth Avenue Floral sample using the new Calypso Coral color (it is a little darker in this photo than it is in real life.)

Pennant Parade Sneak Peek

I know I am going to love this very versatile new Stampin' Up set called Pennant Parade. It has a coordinating punch and there is also a new Bigz Sizzix die with pennants and round frames.
For this sample I used the new Pool Party and Island Indigo cardstocks with some Poppy Parade and Whisper White. The pennants were stamped in Poppy and I used the Congratulations sentiment from Perfect Punches. Pool Party layer was embossed with the Sizzix texture plate.

Fabulous Florets

I love today's sweet sketch over at SCS and will be using it a lot! I used Whisper White for the base with Wild Wasabi edged with scallop border punch for strips. Beyond the Garden designer paper and Fabulous Florets set in Pink Pirouette, edges inked in Pretty In Pink. Both the stamp set and the paper that are now in the Summer mini will be in the new catalog. Yes! Sizzix butterfly die also used. Stem was clear embossed on card and then the flower curled and mounted on top. All supplies are Stampin' Up.

New SU!

I received my preorder and the new Stampin' Up catalog today! Some cute stuff out in July, a little something for every taste. I'll be making new samples all this week so please stop back for a visit and more sneak peeks!
This is the new specialty designer paper called Flirtatious. The center is part of the die cut doily in the pack. The main floral image is from a new two-step stamping set called Simply Soft and the bottom is part of a new punch. Added a pink taffeta ribbon bow.
