Floral Essence Stamp Set from Stampin' Up! [Sneak Peek]

  • Floral Essence Stamp Set
  • Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper
  • May 11 card class rescheduled to May 19 due to flooding threats in Houston

Sneak Peek of Floral Essence Stamp Set

I'm so excited to share today's card with you. I just love the colors and the new Floral Essence Stamp Set. One of the colors I used on today's card is Rococo Rose, one of the new In Colors coming with the June 4 launch of the Stampin' Up! new Annual catalog. I chose the Floral Essence Stamp Set and the coordinating Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper for today's card, along with the new 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim. I can't wait to see what fun designs we can created with this beautiful lace trim.    





The basecard for today's card is Blushing Bride.  Then a layer of Rococo Rose. Then a layer of Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper. This paper is beautiful enough to frame and hang on your wall.  It looks like watercolor papers in very old paintings.     

  


The sentiment label is die cut using the new Nested Stitched Label Dies out of Very Vanilla Cardstock. The flower is stamped in Rococo rose with a Mossy meadow stem and leaf. The flower center is stamped in Mango Melody. The sentiment is also from the Floral Essence Stamp Set and it is stamped in Mossy Meadow.


The 3/8" Scalloped Lace Trim is tied in a double bow and attached it behind the Rococo Rose layer. This is such a simple card, yet the delicate, romantic flowers and colors will give you hours of creative fun. 

 Introducing the new 2019-2020 In Colors.  Below are the 5 new colors that Stampin' Up! introduces each year to keep our color families fresh and on trend.  You'll often find these colors in Spring clothing and home decor. Beginning on the top left, these new colors include:  Terracotta Tile, Rococo Rose, and Purple Posy. On the bottom row are Seaside Spray and Pretty Peacock.               

Introducing the new 2019-2020 In Colors:  Terracotta Tile, Rococo Rose,

The new catalogs will be arriving soon. Watch your mail for yours, if you've purchased from me in the past six months.  Time to reorganize your craft room to make room.  Don't  forget to add a few blank Stamp Cases.  These are great for storing your Simple Shammy stamp cleaner, open packages of embellishments, your reinkers by color family, and to hold your Paper Pumpkin stamps after you've made your kit.

Stampin' Up! Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set {Sneak Peek}

  • Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set
  • Paper Pumpkin Craft Kits make great Mother's Day Gifts
  • Join us to make Spring Greeting Cards - Class May 11, 2019

Sneak Peek of Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set

I'm working through the new stamp sets I received on my demonstrator pre-order from the upcoming annual catalog -- a benefit of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator -- and choose the new Good Morning Magnolia Stamp to highlight today as a sneak peek of upcoming new products. You're going to find so many uses for this set and suite of coordinating products.  Its a great example of work Stampin' Up! has already done for you by giving you not only stamps, dies and designer series papers that work together but also Memories and More cards and matching envelopes for both Scrapbooking or Cardmaking, coordinating ribbons, cork embellishments and two new Blends Markers colors--Light and Dark So Saffron--for coloring your Magnolia images.

 I used watercolor pencils to color my Magnolia images.  And the new catalog has  a new watercolor pencil assortment, in addition to our existing watercolor pencil set...a bit of a spoiler alert.  The new water color assortment, the new So Saffron Blends and the Good Morning Magnolia suite is another new Suite of products you might as well add to your shopping list, now, because as soon as you start seeing more samples of this set, you WILL want it.  Getting it right away when the new catalog ordering begins on June 4, means you'll have a full Stampin' Up! calendar year to use and enjoy this set, and its likely to be one of the popular sets that will carry over into future new calendar years.  But for now, you'll have to settle for my sneak peek of this set from the upcoming catalog.     


Good Morning Magnolia Image colored with watercolor pencils


The basecard for today's card is Blushing Bride.  Then a layer of Night of Navy.  Then another layer of Blushing Bride, which is the base for the stamped image.      

  


The flower is stamped in Night of Navy, as is the sentiment from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp set.  I removed the Night of Navy layer and stamped the Magnolia image on both piece of Blushing Bride simultaneously.  Then I added the Night of Navy layer between the two Blushing Bride layers.


I used colored pencils from a new assortment of Watercolor pencils that are included in the new catalog.  Its called Watercolor Pencils #2, which will give us even more colors to use with our Watercolor Pencils Assortment #1, which carried over to the new catalog  I used a White, from the Watercolor Pencils #1 set, and Garden Green and Flirty Flamingo pencils from the  Assortment #2 set.  I'll say a little bit more about this new Watercolor pencils assortment and why I have them already, below.               



The sequin accents on this card are four different colors from the Basic Adhesive Backed Sequins, which carried over from the current catalog. 
Watercolor Pencils Assortment #2 (149014), is a new item in the upcoming
 Annual Catalog.  But you might already have them.


Does the Watercolor Pencils Assortment #2 look familiar to you?  It should.  It was a promotional item that Stampin' Up! provided in the not too distant past.  When I saw the new catalog, I raced to my retired stash, pulled out these watercolor pencils and grinned from ear-to-ear that not only had I hung on to my original set, but I actually had two sets.  Plus, I had given away more of these Watercolor Pencil Assortments sets to my downline one year.  So dash to your old stash, dig around.  And you just might find that you already have the Watercolor Pencils Assortment #2 set.  (See, Dear Husband?  Its not clutter.  I told you I'd use it...someday!  


Recipe


  • Stamps: Good Morning Magnolia
  • Ink:  Night of Navy, White, Garden Green & Flirty Flamingo Watercolor Pencils
  • Paper:  Blushing Bride, Night of Navy
  • Accessories:  Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins
