Jar of Thanks

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   When I opened the new Stampin' Up Annual Catalog and saw the awesome Flowers for Every Season Mega Suite on pages 10 through 13 and noticed the Jar Punch that coordinates with the "Jar of Flowers" stamp set, I think I squealed! I love a matching punch because it's so quick and easy. And those Mason Jar Shaker Domes--wow! 

We used some product from this suite to do our make and takes for our Proverbial Stampers new catalog gathering. I really like the subtle colors on this card--taken from one of the sheets of Flowers for Every Season 6" by 6" Designer Series Paper. Have a look!

I started with a Just Jade Card Stock card base and added a 4" by 5-1/4" Blushing Bride Card Stock panel. On top of that, I adhered a 1" by 5-1/4" strip of the pretty Flowers for Every Season DSP. 

Next, I stamped one of the flower arrangement images from the "Jar of Flowers" set in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto a Whisper White piece that I cut with one of the Stitched Rectangles Dies. I used Light Mint Macaron, Light Petal Pink, and Light Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends to color the flowers. Then, I stamped the jar in Balmy Blue Ink onto Whisper White Card Stock and punched it out with the Jar Punch. I adhered the rectangular panel to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals and then I adhered the jar to the card with more Stampin' Dimensionals.

I stamped a sentiment from the "Free as a Bird" stamp set in Balmy Blue onto a 1/4" Whisper White strip and snipped the end with my Paper Snips. I tucked this behind the jar. I then tied a knot in a length of Just Jade Gingham Ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack and adhered it to the card with a Mini Glue Dot.

You can purchase the "Jar of Flowers" stamp set in a bundle with the Jar Punch and save 10% off the price of purchasing them separately. Or you can splurge and get the entire Flowers for Every Season Mega Suite with one item number (item 154132)!

Stay healthy! Stay safe!

Lovely Sunflower

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   Y'all! Being back at work full-time is kicking my butt! I am totally exhausted when I get home--which doesn't make sense because I sit on my butt in an office all day. I guess the mental work is more than I've been used to these past few months. Mind you, I'm super happy to be at work. I love what I do and it brings me intellectual satisfaction, but man, at the end of the work day, I'm beat. Have you had to go back to work after being off for a while? Are you having trouble acclimating? I wish you well in that!

Anyway, I have actually been creating--mostly on the weekends and I have loads of things to share from the new Stampin' Up catalog. Like this sweet card that uses the "Celebrate Sunflowers" stamp set on page 13 of the annual catalog. This stamp set is part of the extended Flowers for Every Season Suite that spans pages 10 through 13.
For this card, I started with a 3-3/4" by 5" Crumb Cake Card Stock panel.  I stamped the large and small sunflower images in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. At the bottom, I adhered a 1-1/2" by 3-3/4" strip of wood grain paper from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper pack.  I adhered this to a 4" by 5-/14" Bumblebee Card Stock mat. I wrapped a length of the sweet Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon around this and then adhered everything to a Crumb Cake Card Stock card base.

I stamped a sentiment from the "Celebrate Sunflowers" stamp set in Early Espresso Ink onto Very Vanilla Card Stock and cut it out with one of the Tasteful Labels Dies. I cut two sprigs from Just Jade Card Stock using the Sunflowers Dies and adhered these to the back of the label. I adhered the label to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

This card is simple and stunning--simply stunning! And you can purchase the "Celebrate Sunflowers" and Sunflower Dies as a bundle and save 10% off purchasing them separately. Or, you can purchase the entire Flowers for Every Season Suite and save 10% off both the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle and the Jar of Flowers Bundle!

Stay safe. Stay healthy.
