Stamp with Leigh

I used the More Messages Bundle, an Online Exclusive and the Gallery Blooms Bundle for this card.

The More Message Bundle features one stamp with various greetings and the coordinating die.  I love stamping a variety of greetings once and then die cutting one-marvelous!

This card also features two new In-Colors, Secret Sea and Cloud Cover, two of my favorite new colors.  Not sure about the new In-Color cardstock?  No worries, you can order an assortment pack featuring the new 2025-2027 In Color cardstock.  It's listed in the items below.

The Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper was perfect for just a hint of design behind the flower die cut.

I used Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends on the stamped image and also to add color to the Antique Pearls.  

I made the exact same card, but in a different color, Petunia Pop (retired In Color).  Click HERE to check out that post.

This masculine card was made at a recent creative/fancy fold card class.  It's a diagonal easel fold card, but so many creative folds go by different names that I just number the folds for class purposes.

The greeting is on the back of the card and includes space for a hand-written message.

I have a step-uncle that retired from the Air Force and this card will be going in the mail for his birthday.  The Adventurous Sky stamp set is no longer available, but the Take to the Sky Designer Series Paper is still available on The Last Chance List.  If there's something you like, grab it before it's gone!

Hello and welcome to the We BEE Stamping TEAM Blog Hop as we explore the new Stampin' Up! Catalog

It's always exciting when a new Stampin' Up! catalog is released!  As a demonstrator, I get to view the new catalog early online, but it's just not the same as holding the catalog in your hands and exploring it page by page.  Of course, I have my post-it notes handy to flag all the new and exciting must-have items on my Wish List!

One of the items on my Wish List was the Extraordinary Floral Bundle and the coordinating Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.

The Extraordinary Flora Bundle is full of love, happiness, and florals for stamping and cutting out floral and botanical images in two quick steps!  Color the line-art style florals with your favorite coloring technique and them die cut all the images at once.  How cool is that!

The Extraordinary Flora die also coordinates with the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape.  This flora pattern washi tape features a gorgeous pattern of watercolor florals and botanical images.  The design alternates from pink and purple variations of the same pattern for more cardmaking and crafting options.

I used the Extraordinary Flora Washi Tape and coordinating die to make these two retirement cards.  I wanted the focus to be on the washi tape images, so I kept my layouts very simple. I rolled out a section of the washi tape onto Basic White cardstock before die cutting.  

The first card (left side), features the more "pinkish" color flowers.  I used a circle punch and Stylish Shape die to create a Basic Black ring and then began layering my die cut elements.  I finished off my card with some 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls and a Strawberry Slush Faux Linen bow.  The greeting is from the Sunrise Sailing stamp set, an Online Exclusive.  This stamp set features a retirement greeting that was stamped inside both cards.

For the card on the right, I added an embossed panel using the Glass & Garden embossing folder and a Gold Striped Mesh ribbon bow, both Online Exclusives. The greeting is from the Extraordinary Floral stamp set.  A few 2024-2026 In Color Flat Pearls finished my project.

I also added a die cut on the the inside of each card, right by the greeting-

I used products from the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection (Annual Catalog) to make this card.  I stamped the Painted Stripes background stamp with Petal Pink ink, die cut with the Gallery Blooms die and then embossed with the Birch Wood embossing folder.  The Cloud Cover border frame is also from the Gallery Blooms dies.  

I stamped the images with Pean Pie ink and then added color with a blender pen.  The greeting is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set and was stamped with Secret Sea ink, a new In-Color.  I popped it out using the Stylish Shapes dies and added 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls.  I added a Tiny Bee Trinket to finish off my project.  I had so much making this card!

I used the Darling Dino's Bundle from Stampin' Up! to make these adorable birthday cards. I don't think purple and blue dinosaurs have ever existed, but they do in my world!  These two cards will be hitting the mailbox for my great-niece's birthdays in September.

Check out the video below to see how easy it is to make these adorable cards.  Don't want or need a dinosaur card?  No big deal!  This is a great layout, so just swap out the die-cut and add a greeting.
