If you are new to Stampin' Up! you may not know that this is an exciting time - the launch of the new Annual Catalogue - and with the launch comes new ink colours!! Every year we get five new inks colours, these colours are only available for two years. Here is my new catalogue - check out all the tabs where I have marked the products I have on my wish list:) If you would like a catalogue, let me know and I will get one to you. The new in-colours are Polished Pink, Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen and Fresh Freesia. The In-colours are avilable in ink, cardstock, embellishments, ribbon and Designer Series Paper. I made these cards to showcase the new colours along with the ribbon and embellishments. I used one of the new stamp sets to create the cards - Spiral Die - I love the bold pattern and the stamp is only $23 which is an amazing price point. Check out my online store on May 4 to get your hands on the new In-colours and all the other amazi...
I want to share one of my favourite suites from the annual catalogue - Celebrate Sunflowers. I made this card that I think really showcases both the sunflower stamp and metal dies.
I cut out multiple sunflowers in whisper white cardstock and adhere them to the card base - did you notice the different sized card? It is 7.5" x 7.5" and scored at 3.75", I will confess, I cut the wrong size but I actually like how it turned out!
Adhering the die cuts can be time consuming - dabbing liquid glue all over the die cut. I watched a video recently from another demonstrator - sorry can't recall who - where she used a silicone mat and sponge. You dab the liquid glue with the sponge on the the die cut, I did notice you have to wipe the silicone mat between each die cut or the silicone mat gets sticky. You should try it out, I love how quick and easy it is.
I then stamped the sunflower image using mango melody ink and used stampin' blends to colour in the image - I used mango melody, daffodil delight and soft suede. I finished it off with some wink of stella to add some sparkle. I stamped the sentiment in early expresso and added some bumblebee ribbon and enamel dots.

I made another one, this time using magenta madness, and the card is slight longer. The measurements are 9" x 7.5" . . .
