Full Of Life Product Premier

I wish you all a Happy Day that’s “Full of Life”!

I am showcasing the new Full of Life Product Suite. What a fun and full of color amazing Suite it is! My card includes the entire Suite, except for the Iridescent 1/2″ Striped Ribbon Trim. I’ll have a project up with the Trim very soon.

Do you believe this is a quick and easy card to put together? It is. But before I get into that, let’s talk about the product Suite.

The Full of Life Product Suite is a “happy” Suite focused on friendship. The Friends for life Bundle has a large sentiment stamp and die, and there’s a large “friend” shadow die included in the Die Set. The photopolymer stamp set includes bold images, along with sentiments that you can easily mix and match.

The Full of Life Designer Series Paper is a 6″ x 6″ paper pack that is full of color. It includes all of the colors of the rainbow, and more. The patterns have a watercolor wash look. There are 12 double-sided designs that you can mix and match with your favorite cardstock. The pack includes 48 sheets, four each of 12 designs. This is a paper pack that will work with stand alone Bundles, Dies and stamp sets. It’s one to definitely add to your paper collection.

  • I cut a Melon Mambo cardstock card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, and scored at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side.
  • The Basic White mat layer is 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
  • The patterned paper layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″. I strategically cut it. Take a look at my Video Tutorial below to see how I cut the patterned paper.
  • The heart element is die cut using dies from the Friends For Life Bundle.
  • I also die cut the sentiment using two dies from the Bundle.
  • I stamped “Hi” with Memento Black ink and hand cropped it.
  • Use Dimensionals to attach the elements to the card front.
  • I added a few sparkly gems from the Product Suite.

Let’s Mix And Match

Need inspiration? Stampin’ Up! has a new product line featured in the Annual Catalog. It’s called “Mix & Match”. It’s perfect for Beginner Card Makers, and fun for anyone who just wants to spend a little time crafting something special. You don’t need tools or a lot of supplies. If you haven’t tried card making, the Mix & Match Products are a fun way to start.

  • Start with cards and envelopes.
  • Add epherema.
  • Add a sentiment.
Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes – #163753
Something For Everything Ephemera Pack – #163763
Saying Something Ephemera Pack – #163761

It’s so easy to “Mix & Match”.

Start with a card base of your choice, then create your own masterpiece by choosing elements from the ephemera pack. Customize it again by adding a sentiment or combination of sentiments from the “Saying Something” Ephemera Pack, or stamp a sentiment you already own, or stamp a sentiment from the Simply Said Stamp Set. It’s part of the Mix & Match Product Line.

As you can see from my card, I chose the card base, added a few elements and a combination sentiment. It’s so quick and easy. Once I chose my ephemera pieces and sentiments, I arranged them on the card front, then attached them. I used both Dimensionals and Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the elements to the card base.

For a little extra fun, I added a few Matte Dots as an embellishment.

So, take a look at the new Mix & Match Products on pages 18 and 19 of the Annual Catalog, then get inspired with the wonderful samples on pages 20 and 21. The price point is great, too! You can also see more product details below.

New Product Premier Fun Fold

Here’s a Product Premier from the new Annual Catalog. I hope you enjoy this simple Easel Fun Fold card design that showcases the new Country Birdhouse Bundle and Country Woods Designer Series Paper. Along with the card inspiration, I put together a video and PDF Tutorial that you can download to create your inspired Easel Fun Fold Card.

The Country Birdhouse Bundle includes the stamp set and dies. The Bundle focuses on cozy birdhouses adorned with flowers and an adorable bird. There’s so much you can create using the birdhouse as your centerpiece for cards and scrapbook pages. Then add some extra decoration to your scenes with the wood details. This Bundle lets you mix and match each detail to create individual designs every time you use it.

I had a little fun decorating the inside of the card using more of the flowers. This little birdhouse has its own private “garden”.

The Country Woods 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper is a “must have”. Rustic and sophisticated, I promise you this paper pack will be your new “go to”. You can create beautiful backgrounds for cards and pages, and dress it up with ribbons, embellishments and die cuts. Or layer it, add a sentiment and an embellishment or two, and you have a beautiful quick and easy card to share.

Not only is the Country Woods Designer Series Paper great for backgrounds, I used it to die cut my birdhouses. I love the cozy, rustic vibe.

Both cards are identical in design. I just switched up the elements and colors. The sentiments in the Country Birdhouse Stamp Set have a sweet mixed font. Simple!

You can click on the blue button below to download and print a PDF Tutorial with project details and a complete supply list.

You can click on the button below to create the easel card along with me. Watch the Video Tutorial.

So, die cut a birdhouse, bird, and lots of flowers. Add a few rustic patterned paper layers, and create a fun and pretty happy birthday wish to share.

Hooray For Wishes

Hello stampin’ friends! What do you think of Shy Shamrock? Actually, I really like it. It’s very close in tone to Summer Splah, but it’s greener. I thought about pairing it with Petunia Pop, and Berry Burst, and when I checked my Color Coach for more options I really liked it with Lemon Lolly.

I’m showcasing Shy Shamrock with another Sneak Peek of the 2024-2026 In Colors 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper. This striped pattern is great for a background layer.

My elements and sentiment layer are from the Hooray For Surprises Bundle. I’ve used this Bundle often, and am so glad I have it. The Bundle is retiring and is on the Last Chance Sale list. The Hooray for Surprises Dies and Stamp Set are in the new Annual Catalog, but not at the bundled 10% off discount. The Last Chance Sale ends Tuesday, April 30th.

My card is a quick and easy design.

I cut a patterned paper layer, and a mat layer, and attached them to a card base. The elements are attached with Dimensionals, as is the sentiment layer.

The little Shy Shamrock 2024-2026 In Color Resin Dots gave this simple design the perfect finish.

I hope you enjoyed my In Color showcase. The new Annual Catalog goes live to customers on Wednesday, May 1st. There’s so many new products to enjoy, along with color inspiration, card sketches, and, as always, amazing product samples for your inspiration.

So, cut a card base, add a few layers, die cut pretty elements, and create a quick and easy card to send good wishes.

It’s Time For Peach Pie

Here’s to Peach Pie! The second color in my “New Colors Showcase”, and it’s delicious! To me, it’s a deeper version of Mango Melody. It’s a warm, rich color that could truly stand alone, or would work beautifully as an “attention getter” accent.

I kept this card design simple, and also included a Sneak Peek of one of the patterns from the Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper. The Unbounded Beauty DSP pack focuses on all of the new In Colors. When I looked at all of the color matches and designs in the paper pack, this one is a favorite. It’s monochromatic palette mixes Peach Pie with Calypso Coral, and I can almost see it working with Petunia Pop.

I use Stampin’ Up!’s Color Coach as a quick reference when I can’t seem to find a color that works with a project I want to do. Each year, with the release of the new In Colors, Stampin’ Up! publishes the updated Color Coach. You can download a copy of it here, or click on the image below.

So, let’s make a card!

  • The Peach Pie cardstock card base is 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″ on the long side.
  • The Basic White mat layer is 3 1/8″ x 5 1/2″.
  • I cut the patterned paper layer 3″ x 5 1/2″, and adhered it to the top of the Basic White mat layer to create a focal point layer for the card front.
  • Each of the offset top layers is die cut using one of the Deckled Rectangle Dies. They measure about 2 1/8″ x 3 1/2″.
  • I adhered the patterned paper offset layer directly to the card front.
  • The Basic White offset layer is stamped with one of the stamps from the new Country Birdhouse Stamp Set and Calypso Coral ink.
  • The die cut flowers are from the upcoming Flowers of Beauty Dies, and the stamped tiny flower is a stamp from the Country Birdhouse Stamp Set. (Two more little Sneak Peeks).
  • I attached the top offset layer with Dimensionals and added a few Peach Pie 2024-2026 Matte Resin Dots. These are a big “must have”!

So, I hope you’re enjoying this new In Color Showcase. Tomorrow, I’ll show off another new “In Color”. Be sure to check back.
