My New Favorite Stamp Set

Posted on September 4, 2021 by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

My New Favorite Stamp Set

Do I have just one favorite stamp set?

Of course not! They’re all my favorites

BUT every once in a while there will be one (or in this case 2) sets that just stand out and really tug at my heart and I just can’t stop using them. Do you have your favorite (s)? Well in this new 2021-2022 catalog I have to say that I’m obsessed with Art Gallery and Artistically Inked. These two stamp sets are absolutely stunning. They are so pretty and the DSP (Artistically Inked only) is just so beautiful. Of course, they’re both very versatile and easy to create beautiful projects with. With a little creativity (and help from your friendly Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, yours truly) just about any occasion card can be made with each one ……including masculine cards. Here are some projects I made using each of these stamp sets so you can get an idea of how awesome they really are. We’ve made these cards at past workshops and have had a great time making them.

Art Gallery Stamp Set You can’t tell, but it’s an accordion card.

I like the Artistically Inked set just a little bit more than the Art Gallery set. Just a little ink and paper and you can create a beautiful watercolored and expressionistic looked project. Wow, I love the Polished Pink ink and cardstock I used on this card. The Shaded Spruce card is also so rich looking because of the depth and richness of the color. Great for any occasion. Below I’ve listed the links for these items along with some additional supplies that you would need to make these cards. If you would like additional ideas for these sets, the Art Gallery set is on page 13 of the Annual Catalog and the Expressions in Ink are on page 96 and 97.

TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE THE CARDS: On the pink Artistically Inked card, make sure you “stamp off” the color for the leaves so that they aren’t super bright. It gives the leaves a more realistic look. Also add a dimensional under each leaf after you have curled it a bit to give it dimension. On the shaded spruce card, make sure to cut each of the print strips ¾” and the gold stripe strip ½” wide. They should also each be cut different lengths. The gold foil leaves are cut from the long leaf die in the die set. Cut the leaves apart and place them on the card.

On the Art Gallery card for the bundle of flowers cut a second set of flowers and glue it on top of the one you stamped and die cut in green. This hides the green flowers underneath and leaves you with a pretty green stem and leaves, and it give a little thickness and dimension to the flower bunch! Note, I did that on both cards.

Below are the projects/cards we made a the last workshop. We had so much fun making them and creating such great projects. I love these stamp suites/bundled sets and DSP. They are all so versatile and can be used for All Occasion Cards all year long.

The You’re a Peach Suite is super cute! I love the DSP the best and the stamps and dies have the most realistic peach blossoms I’ve ever seen

The only way to get the beautiful Pattern Party DSP, is to be a Hostess (min. $150) and you can choose this thick (48 pages total) package of very very versatile DSP. See page 171 to see the images of all the patterns

The Hand Penned Petals Suite will by far be the most popular suite in this years catalog. It’s so awesome! If there is any one suite you buy, this should be it!

The inside holds 2 note cards (that you stamp yourself) and 2 envelopes. What a nice gift for someone special

Card Wallet – What a great gift. Look at the inside of the wallet (image to the right)

This card “Wallet” doesn’t require any cutting or glue! Would you like to make one? Come to a workshop and learn how.

It’s so easy to make and such a special gift to give someone for a special occasion. I, of course used the Hand Penned Petals DSP. This project is totally customizable, by you!

projects at the last workshop. Just click on the link to

New Catalog Means New Products

Have you had time to go through your new catalog? If not, I want to invite you to set some time aside to relax and go through it carefully…….with pen and paper handy to take a lot of notes. Or better yet a fresh pack of Post-Its to tag all your “New” favorite sets and products.

The New 2021-2022 Annual Stampin’ Up Catalog

Is Here!

The wait is finally over! I can’t be more excited for this years catalog. It’s so beautiful and has a whole new look to it. There are a lot of changes and I think you too will be excited when you see it. One of the highlights of the new Annual Catalog each year are the new In Colors, this year is no exception. I can’t wait to create some fun projects using these new colors. The new In Colors are, Evening Evergreen, Polished Pink, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent. You can see them on page 123 of the new catalog. These colors are available for 2 years.

If you don’t have a demonstrator, I’d love to earn your business and give you a free copy of the new catalog. Simply go to my website and request your copy today! In the meantime, you can click here to see the catalog online or click the image below.

I want to explain a few terms we use in the catalog and what they mean. In order to understand how to maneuver through the catalog, learn these terms which will help you save money:

BUNDLE: Includes a stamp set and the matching dies or punch at a 10% discount if purchased together

SUITE: Includes a stamp set, matching dies and additional items that help you add texture and character to your projects i.e. ribbon, sequins, embossing folders and embellishments. All Suites contain different items

You can purchase all items individually or as part of the BUNDLE , with the discount (why wouldn’t you want to save 10%?) OR you can purchase everything separately from the SUITE or buy the entire suite. The choice is yours! Ask me if you still have questions when you place your order.

We’ve been a little busy at the workshops the past couple of months, here are some of the cards we’ve made. We’ve had so much fun making the cards, I’d like to invite you to join me for my next workshop on May 22, 2021. Details are below, but here are just a couple of the cards for your inspiration:

Garden Wishes Bundle – Item #156220 Mini Catalog

The Garden Wishes Bundle is part of the Dandy Garden Suite Collection – Item #155981. This suite is unique because it showcases 2 Bundles, The Garden Wishes Bundle – Item #156220 and the Dragonfly Garden Bundle – Item #156224. The Suite includes a lot of great matching accessories to compliment the stamp sets. I only used the Garden Wishes Bundle on the project above but you must see all the additional items in the suite. They include, DSP, ribbon, ladybug trinkets, Memories and More (larger) cards with printed envelopes, laser die cut paper and a Memories and More Card Pack to match. I love the simplicity of the card and the use of the contrasting colors. It’s also such a good set to use our Stampin’ Blends. The whole Suite is so versatile, it can be used to make a project for any occasion.

Art Gallery Bundle – Item #156227 Mini Catalog

I love the Art Gallery Bundle which is part of the Fine Art Floral Suite – Item #155982 Mini Catalog. I can’t wait to create many beautiful projects with this amazing suite. The suite includes matching dies, textured gold ribbon, embossing folder and Gilded Leafing Embellishment. Just beautiful. At the upcoming workshop I’m going to use the gilded leafing embellishment product to make another beautiful project. It’s going to be gorgeous so don’t miss out.

Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle – #156205 – Mini Catalog pg. 42

The Friends Are Like Seashells bundle is included in the Sand & Sea Suite – Item #155980 Mini Catalog pg. 40-42. The suite is absolutely beautiful. Look at this pretty card stamped on our shimmer white paper. The matching die and embossing folder makes this card unbelievably beautiful and it’s really very easy to make. Contact me for instructions on how to make this card.

All the Suite Collections, Bundles and Accessories are available now in our January – June Mini Catalog (until June 30, 2021). Once the Mini Catalog has ended the DSP will be discontinued as well as the bundle discount (on some bundles). You will still be able to purchase the items but they will be sold separately at regular prices. The one product that does not carryover to the new annual catalog is the matching DSP. If you don’t have a January – June Mini Catalog, please let me know and I will get one out to you right away. Please contact me if you have questions.

Holiday Handmade Happiness

Posted on November 18, 2020 by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

Holiday Handmade Happiness

Each time I write a post I can’t help but think how fast the time has past since we last got together. I guess they do say that the older you get the faster time goes by. That’s so true. Well here it is Thanksgiving once again. These are the projects we made at the last workshop. I’m not sure which set and which DSP I like better, the Guilded Autumn or the Forever Greenery. They are both so rich in color and texture, with the Guilded Autumn DSP showing off it’s beautiful copper foil and the Forever Greenery showing off all the beautiful shades of green we have to offer. So beautiful.

Have you seen our mini Paper Pumpkin boxes? They’re adorable and so versatile. Our beautiful Guilded Autumn set shows off our light Mint Macron and bold Cajun Craze contrast in colors. They have a variety of uses.

Project recipe:

Base:

Cajun Craze c/s = 5-¼” x 3-½”
Mint Macron c/s = 3-¼” x 5″ (Emboss w/Greenery mini embossing folder)

Label:

Cajun Craze c/s = 3″ x 2″
Mint Macron c/s = 1-¾” x 2-¾”
Very Vanilla c/s = 1-½” x 2-½”

Middle DSP wide strip = 2″ x 3-½”

Middle DSP thin strip = 1″ x 3-½”

Die cut 2 leaves out of leaf die one in Mint Macron c/s and one in Early Espresso c/s

Use 1 Square Vellum Doily under top label

Showing off the beautiful Guilded Autumn DSP

Card Recipe:

Emboss 3-½” on right side of card only

Cut 2 strips of DSP 1″ x 5-½”

Label Base: Cajun Craze Scallop Oval Die & Very Vanilla Stitched Oval Die

Stamp and punch lots of leaves out of Very Vanilla c/s using Cajun Craze, Mint Macron and Early Espresso Ink

Die cut some leaves out of copper foil c/s

Use Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack to make the bow

This is the beautiful Forever Greenery DSP. The entire package is so beautiful

Card Recipe

Card Base = Mint Macron c/s 4-¼” x 11″

Score at: 5-½”

Cut top flap at: 2-¾”

Turn card sideways

Left side Flap DSP = 4″ x 2-½”

Last Workshop’s Projects

I wanted to share some of the projects we made at the last workshop. We had so much making them and hope they inspire you to join us at the next workshop. See details below for the next workshop.

I especially love this adorable sunflower card. I cased it from Amy Combs because I just love it so much. We used the Flowers for All Seasons Suite and the Daisy Punch and the Medium Daisy Punch. Notice the beautiful ribbon! The white linen ribbon is so beautiful and versatile. You can color it any color you want, with the Stampin’ Blends. I love the 3D look and the freshness of it. It’s so great for Fall.

This was such a fun card to make. I love love love the Whale of a Time Suite which features the Whale Done stamp set and the Whale of a Time DSP. The colors are so vivid and bold. The DSP is the absolute best! It’s so versatile to use for background and/or just a little strip to add a pop of color to your card. The Whale Punch is the cutest! It punches out the largest whale in the DSP pattern and also the whale in the stamp set. The sheer ribbon in Pool Party is just too much, being able to add color that looks like water. Oh! and those adorable sequins….. the little pink scallops…super cute!

Another really fun and colorful suite in our collection this year is the Playing with Patterns Suite. I love the colors and the fun projects you can create with this playful suite. The DSP is all geometric lines and circles, so it makes it easy to pick a background and build on it. For this card I made my own background with the dots stamp in the Pattern Play stamp set. I then chose a strip of the DSP for the center focal point of color. The ribbons in this suite are so different from each other but they compliment each very well. The Purple Posy is a thin seam binding type of ribbon, while the Night of Navy is a thin satin gross grain and the Coastal Cabana is a sheer textured stiffer ribbon. It’s really the simplest card ever. I used the label from the Hippo and Friends Dies. Check out those dies, the set has so many awesome label dies. What a fun birthday card.

FALL IS IN THE AIR

Posted on September 7, 2020 by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

FALL IS IN THE AIR

I love the crisp smell of the air just before the official first day of Fall, along with the colors of the Season. I wish Fall would last a little longer. Here in Southern California, we don’t experience much of Fall, so I try to soak it all in for as long as I can.

There is so much to look forward to as we make this turn from Summer to Fall and from SIP to FAL (free at last)! I’m SO excited go to a restaurant for lunch or dinner with family and friends, I’m also ready to go shopping and can’t wait to go to a movie (ok so that might be a while longer), But the absolute icing on the cake, and by far the most exciting business to open up is my hair salon!! Let’s just hope they don’t get closed down again.

ARE YOU A PAPER PUMPKIN SUBSCRIBER?

If not, why not? I believe it’s the best value for your money in Stampin’ Up! product. At just $22/month you get a set of stamps, ink, adhesive and embellishments that last way beyond the use for the kit. The ink and stamps are a great value and last, well forever! September’s Paper Pumpkin is so awesome! Try it this month and I think you’ll agree with me about the value and the versatility of the kit each month. If you’ve been thinking about subscribing but have never gotten around to it, these next 3 months are the best time (in my opinion) to take the plunge. Click Here to order Paper Pumpkin before September 10.

Clearance Rack

(Click Here to check out the Clearance Rack with some great items at drastically reduced prices)

Here are 4 of the cards from the last workshop. We had so much fun making these cards featuring the Flowers for all Seasons suite, the In Good Taste Suite and one of my all time favorites, Daisy Lane and of course Boho Indigo. I love Boho Indigo so much, we’re using it again this month. We really did have a fun time at the workshop. Check out the details for September’s workshop. Don’t miss out.

I really love this Boho Indigo Suite. Using it with this fun fold card makes for a great card.

What a simple card, yet so catchy. I used the Subtle embossing folder with early espresso to create the background. I learned it from Amy Combs. It’s so cool looking.

I love love love this In Good Taste Suite!. The DSP is so amazing.

What can I say about sunflowers? I love them because just like the name they bring sunshine into the room. That’s what this card does. It’s made with the Flowers for Every Season Suite

Out of Quarantine, New Catalog Is Out Too

Posted on June 9, 2020 by Annabelle's Stamping Studio

Out of Quarantine

and

The New 2020-2021 Catalog Is Out!

Can it be true? Yes, it’s true! we can finally start inching out a little bit and enjoy ourselves in the beautiful sunshine. While we’re not completely out of the woods yet, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) is finally under a good control and very few new cases have been added since mid March. If all of us continue doing our part, we will be continuing to help control the virus. It definitely hit some harder than others, but hard nonetheless.

We’ve changed the way we do things all the way from the way we eat, shop, work, play, dress, socialize and entertain ourselves. We went from eating out, to cooking at home (my son learned how to use an InstaPot), shopping the malls to shopping online, working in the office to woking at home, going to movie theaters to streaming movies online. We’ve gone from going to sports to watching old games online, we’ve gone from gathering in large crowds like weddings (my son’s wedding postponed until next summer) funerals, parties, graduations to drive by celebrations and we’ve added a new fashion statement to our wardrobe, the “Mask”. Instead of asking what are you wearing tonight, we’re going to ask which mask are you wearing with your new dress?”

How has all this changed your life? Each one of us has our story albeit happy, sad, or everything in between. All I can say is I’m still here supporting you, helping to keep you up to date with your very special hobby and love of paper crafting. There has never been a better time than now that we can all use receiving a special card in the mail or send a beautiful card to a loved one that we haven’t been able to see for 3 months. I’m sure that each one of us has someone in our lives that will be quarantined much longer than the average person. Let’s show them some love, the elderly and more mature. Let’s take advantage of this “down” time to create beautiful projects and not let our minds remain idle, but to use them to create good and send love. Take the time to send someone you love something from the heart that can never be taken from them, a paper hug and a written note of love, inspiration and hope. We’re almost done, just a little longer and we’ll all be stronger.

2020-2021 Annual Catalog

Isn’t she lovely? Isn’t she beautiful? Of course I’m referring to the new 2020-2021 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. If you haven’t gotten your copy, let me know and I’ll get one to you right away. I never know where to start when looking at it. Do I start in the back and go toward the front? Do I start in the front and move to the back? Do I start in the middle and go to the front, then go back to the middle and go toward the back? I bet you thought there was just one way, right? Well, leave it to me to mix it up a bit!

I’m going to just put it out there right here and now that I’m completely in LOVE with the Peony Garden Suite. I’ve always loved Peonies. They look so fresh, they’re fluffy and while they look very elegant, they can also look very Victorian with an an antique inspiration The full Peony Garden Suite can be seen on pages 82-84 of the catalog.

Here are some beautiful images from the catalog showcasing the Peony Garden Suite. I love the soft yet rich look of the whole suite.

I also love the beautiful satin ribbon and faceted gems used on these projects
