Country Flowers

Today's creation makes me happy! I love everything flowers, I love coloring flowers and I love the country feel of flowers.  Hence, I am in love the new Country Flowers Bundle from the upcoming Annual Catalog.

The Country Flowers Bundle is part of the Country Woods Suite Collection and was one of my top favorite new preorder purchases. 

My cluster of flowers and teapot were colored with the following Stampin' Blends: Summer Splash, Pretty in Pink, Flirty Flamingo, Sweet Sorbet, Cherry Cobbler and Pretty Peacock and follows this weeks new color challenge at Sunday Stamps!

The Country Flowers Bundle also contains multiple flower and leaves on one die so that you can spend less time operating your die cutting machine. Yah! 

I paired my teapot of flowers with another new item: the Dotted Circles 3D Embossing Folder.  This embossing folder is so large! It measures: 8 1/2" x 6" and fits perfectly into the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and I envision lots of 3D items using it!
My card also showcases a new piece of Pretty in Pink DSP from the 2024-2026 In Color DSP Assortment Pack which contains some fun patterns to create with.

Quick and Easy Birthday Creation

 
Today's crafty creation features several new products you will find in the upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog.

I started with a precut flower image from the new Fully Flowering Ephemera Pack.  There are 4 new Ephemera Packs in the upcoming Annual Catalog to choose from and to help you create a quick and easy card. Each ephemera pack has a different theme: words, images, flowers and labels. Each ephemera pack contains 8 sheets (2 each of 4 designs). 

 I choose a Daffodil Delight and Lemon Lolly colored flower that showcases 2 new In Colors: Shy Shamrock and Summer Splash and chose to highlight Shy Shamrock by adding die cut sprigs and a strip of cardstock to the right side of my card front.

Another new item I used to create my quick and easy card is the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder which is a part of the new Country Woods Suite Collection containing the Country Birdhouse and Country Flowers Bundles (can't wait to create with these bundles! lol).

I paired my precut flower with a sentiment from the retiring Sending Smiles stamp set and Smiles Dies and adding a  few Lemon Lolly Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins.


Don't overlook the Ephemera Packs in the new Annual Catalog for quick and easy creations. Some of the images are not colored so that you can color them with your favorite coloring tools.  So fun!



OPTION 1: Place a $50 order using my current Host Code: E2JTV4A3 and you will receive a pack of Adhesive-Backed Sequins Trio (item 161206) as my thank you gift.

Saying goodbye to the 2022-2024 In Colors

 It's hard to believe its already time to say goodbye to the 22-24 In Colors! I will be missing them.

 What is your favorite retiring In Color?  Mine is a tie between Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky. :)  In honor of their retirement, I made a few cards showcasing these beautiful colors using the Enduring Beauty Bundle.

I recently added the Sketched Plaid background stamp to my arsenal and it does not disappoint. Here is a complete list of  the supplies I used to create these cards:
