The Magneta Madness fits well into filling voids within our other pink colors.

And the Bumble Bee is a more dusty looking yellow, than our current Crushed Curry!

Good Morning Magnolia

NOW available!

The Nature’s Thoughts and Special Day Dies were available in March, during Sale-a-bration, as a special!!  They are both carrying over into the NEW Annual 2020-2021 Catalog.  They are Now Available to order (YES- before the NEW Catalog starts on 6/3).

Stampin' Up! just shared this-
Due to popular demand, the following two items numbers have been turned back on and the products (which will be offered in the new 2020–2021 Annual Catalog) are once again available to order.

• Nature’s Thoughts Dies- #item 153586. Coordinates with the 'Positive Thoughts' stamp set-#151490 on page 23 in the Mini Catalog.
• Special Day Dies- #item 153587.  Coordinated with the 'Special Someone' stamp set- #151643 on page 36 in the Mini Catalog. 

Stampin' Pierce Mat will still be available!

SU! announced this- YAY!!

Due to the usability of the Stampin' Pierce Mat, for a variety of papercrafting techniques, including as a work surface to get even ink pressure and coverage with background stamps- we have decided to continue offering the Stampin’ Pierce Mat- #126199, as an annual catalog item and remove it from the retired list. We will add this item as a catalog write-in under catalog corrections and update the catalog PDF to include it (for those referencing the downloadable file). Please note that the item number for this product is currently shut off. We will post a Weekly Update as soon as we replenish our inventory and the item is once again available to order.

More Pressed Petals

OH my gosh....I love it!  This is another totally Susie card.  I just love this Pressed Petals DSP!  And these are my colors too with Mossy Meadow & Rich Razzleberry!!!

And check out this pretty flower!  It is just washi tape!  Yes- can you believe it!  I just used 6 petals from the Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape.  It is sooo easy to make these flowers!

How did I make the flower?

• I punched out a 1 3/8" Scalloped Circle Punch from a Crumb Cake piece of card stock (you could use any color)
• Adhered 6 of the Washi Tape petals directly to the Scalloped Circle. They will over lap, but meet in the center.
• Add a Perennial Essence Floral Center to the flower.
• Rub the Embossing Buddy on the back side of the flower, so that it wasn't sticky any more.
• Then just use a dimensional & pop it up on the card front!

I used several RETIRING products on this card:

• Pressed Petals DSP
• Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape
• Perennial Essence Floral Centers
• 1 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch
• Pretty Label Punch
• 'Label Me Pretty' stamp set

• Mossy Meadow- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base; 4 1/4 x 1/2"; 2" strip- stamp Pretty Label Punch stamp image & punch out
• Rich Razzleberry- 3 7/8 x 5 1/8"
• Crumb Cake- 1 3/4" strip- stamp words onto & punch out with the 1 3/8" Scalloped Circle Punch; punch out another one to use to layer the Washi Tape flower petals onto to make your flower!
• Whisper White- 4 x 5 1/4"- for inside of card
