Colorful Season Leaves from Stampoin' Up!

  • Get ready for fall with Seasonal Layers

Seasonal Layers stamp Set 


The Color Theory Suite was one of the first stamp sets, papers and die sets I ordered from the June annual catalog.  I love that this set covers all the seasons, making this a very usable set.  I'm particularly partial to monochromatic colors so the range of colors in the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack makes my eyes happy.  

Today I'm using the leaves to prepare for Fall along with the greens in the Color Theory Design Series Paper.  I paired it with both Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz; two of my favorite shades of green in the Stampin' Up! color family.  

DIe used to create the detailed leaves are from the Seasonal Layers Thinlit DIes from Stampin' Up!


The basecard is Old Olive and it is dry embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder.  Then a layer of Whisper White, and the image block is Pear Pizzaz.  The two detailed leaves are cut using the Seasonal Layered Thinlits Dies from Old Olive.

I cut a 2" strip of the Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack looks like a paint chip and ran it across the center of the card.  The Colorful Seasons stamp set was used to stamp the Old Olive flowers on the Pear Pizzazz layer.  It was also used to stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink.

Three Glitter Enamel Dots were strategically placed to enhance this card.  (I love Glitter Dots!)   

Well, I'm pretty frustrated,  My Stampin' Up! pre-order from the new Holiday catalog has been in "picking" in the Stampin' Up! warehouse now for a two full days. Yes.,  I admit, I did order a lot from the new Holiday catalog.   I guess there must be a lot of fellow demonstrators who placed orders as well, when the ordering lines opened on August 1.  I'll just have to play with some of the wonderful stamps I already have while I patiently wait for my new catalog order.  

I you're one of my customers, keep your eyes on your mail box after the 15th of the month for your copy of the new Holiday catalog.  With back-to-school and Halloween close behind, you're going to be really excited by what's in the new catalog.

Sweet Sugarplum and Coffee Cafe stamp set

  • Sweet Sugarplum Coffee Cafe

Here's to Sweet Sugarplum Coffee Cafe 


Happy August 1!  This is going to be a very busy month.  

Watch this blog for a list of Stampin' Up! items you can order tax free during Texas tax holiday.

My customers will receive a copy of the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog shortly after August 15.  A copy will go live on the Stampin' Up! site Sept 1, when customers can begin ordering Fall and Holiday products.

Customers can pre-order one of the Holiday stamps from the new catalog THIS MONTH, instead of waiting until Sept 1 to order from the new catalog.  Watch for samples using this Holiday stamp in the next few days.

Today's card uses the Coffee Cafe suite from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.




The basecard is Sweet Sugarplum, then a layer of Rich Razzleberry, and an image layer of Whisper White.  The two tags are Silver Glimmer Paper and a paper from the 6 X 6 Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Pack.  







The paper for the cup is also a pattern from the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Pack.  The top is cut from Vellum cardstock and the whipped cream is cut from Whisper White.  The cup banner is cut from Smoky Slate cardstock.  The Coffee Cups Framelit Dies were used to cut the various pieces of the cup.  One of the Coffee Cups Framelit dies also creates the corrugated look on the cup banner.  





The sentiments is also from the Coffee Cafe set.  Just the word Friend from the sentiment was masked and stamped in VersaMark and then covered with White embossing powder and turned shiny using my Heat tool.  The ribbon is the 3/8" Sweet Sugarplum striped ribbon.  I cased the card from Kelly Kent, who posted the card on a demonstrator-only sharing Facebook site. 

The coffee stain on the Whisper White layer is from the Timeless Textures.  The coffee beans are from the Coffee Cafe set and stamped off once in Smoky Slate.

Well, I'm pretty tired.  I was up at 4:00 AM putting in my demonstrator pre-order from the new Holiday catalog.  As soon as my order arrives, I'll start posting samples of projects from the Holiday catalog so you'll get a chance to look over some of the new products coming available September 1.  Can you believe Fall is just around the corner?
