- Stampin' Up! Framed Florets and Brilliant Wings Dies
- 5 New 2023-2025 In Colors
- New Core Colors added to the Stampin' Up! Color Families
One of my favorite stamp sets retiring on 1 May is the Framed Florets Stamp Set. Today's card pairs florals from the Framed Florets with Brilliant Wings Dies and lots of texture. The Blending Brush background was created using the Organic Beauty Die. I used it and a window Sheet to create a stencil to use with my Blending Brush. I stamped the floral image from the Framed Florets Stamp set twice using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, and colored them lightly using Crumb Cake Blends. I created a border out of Basic Black Cardstock and covered it with Natural Finish 7/8" Ribbon, which is on sale for $4.25, normally $8.50 | Item #159051, on the Stampin' Up! Last Chance Sale. The bottom layer is Crumb Cake Cardstock dry embossed with the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder. The basecard is Crumb Cake Cardstock. I added a few Black Matte Dot, which are also on sale for $4.20, normally $7.00 | Item #154284 on the Last Chance Sale. The sentiments are stamped in Crumb Cake ink on die cuts from the Tailor Made Tags Dies, which will carry over to the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog launching 2 May 2023. The inspiration for this card came from demonstrator Gail Ellis from Blue Rose Paper Treasures. You'll find her cards are lovely and sophisticated.
The basecard for today's card is Crumb Cake Cardstock. Then a layer of Basic White, but if I were to make this card again, I think I would use very vanilla. The banner in the center of the card is Basic Black covered with the 7/8" Natural Finish Ribbon. The bottom third of the card is covered with Crumb Cake Cardstock dry embossed with the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder (retired).
For the Basic White floral layer, I used one of the Organic Beauty Dies and created a stencil using the die to cut a stencil out of a Window Sheet. I placed the stencil over my Basic White layer and use a Blending Brush and Crumb Cake to add a light shading of Crumb Cake to use as the background to my florals. Remember to start your coloring on a scrap layer before blending on your Basic White layer. I also found that blending in a single direction worked easier with the die cut stencil. Next, I used one of the floral stamps from the Framed Florets Stamp Set, stamped it once in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, then twisted the same floral stamp in another direction and stamped it again. Then I used Crumb Cake Blends alcohol-based markers to lightly shade the florals. Then I die cut a butterfly using Basic Black Cardstock and the Brilliant Wings Dies. I popped it up on a mini Dimensional and added it to the center banner.
To finish my card, I used the Tailor Made Tag Dies to create a sentiment tag. I used Crumb Cake ink and stamped sentiments from the Framed Florets Stamp Set onto the tag. I added even more texture to my card by adding Silver Threaded Twine tied with a bow of Linen Thread. To pull the card together, I added a few Matte Black Dots to the card. This is a great time to pick up several of these items that are retiring. Several items are on sale in the Last Chance Sale, which started 4 April. Grab these items before they are gone.

Fresh New Colors
Take a look at at the video below to see how all these new colors fit together in the new color lineup. Your new 2023-2023 Annual Catalog will include a complete color chart on pages 122-123. New catalogs for my customers who have purchased within the past 6 months should begin arriving mid to late April and ordering from the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog begins 2 May 2023.
Please note: Stampin' Up! in ink pads and inks refills contain chemicals that change over time, just like those old spices that are tucked into the back of your cupboard. They are so much better when they are fresh. For this reason it's best not to use your old pads with new ink refills--or new pads with old refills. The ink and pads aren't defective, but as time passes, chemical changes may take place which could produce a less than satisfactory result. In addition, older ink formulas mingled with new ink formulas could result in a sub-standard stamping experience.
What's the takeaway? Please pair fresh ink pads with fresh ink refills. Ideally, try to purchase both at the same time, as occasionally even current ink formulas need to be refreshed due to such factors as supplier changes or raw material availability. We want you to really enjoy these terrific, vibrant colors to the fullest!
