It's only 7 days until the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue goes live! Are you as excited as I am? First of all, that means that starting June 4th you'll be able to order all of the new products in the catalogue. But of course, that means that as of June 4th, many of the products from last years catalogue retire!

Do you have stamp sets or paper or colours that are on your Wishlist? It's not too late to get your order in before they retired. Check out the retiring product lists from both the 2018-2019 Annual Catalogue and the Occasions Catalogue.

You can shop in my Online store to get your favourites before they retire.

Today I'm sharing a sneak peek from the new catalogue that features the "To a Wild Rose" stampset and coordinating dies as well as one of the new In Colours - Purple Posy.

I love how this card turned out. The Country Floral embossing folder which is a carry over from Sale-a-Bration is perfect as the background for the pretty flower and leaves. I used my Stamparatus to stamp the flower which is a 3 step stamp. I used Blackberry Bliss for the outline, Highland Heather for the inside of the flower and Purple Posy for the background. The leaves are Granny Apple Green and Mossy Meadow. To finish off the card, I added some Pink Metallic Thread and a few small pearls.

Instructions

Cut a piece of Purple Posy card stock 4 1/4" x 11" and fold in half to form card base
Emboss a 4" x 5 1/4" Purple Posy card stock using the Big Shot and the Country Florals embossing folder. Adhere to the card base using Snail
Stamp the outline of the flower using Blackberry Bliss ink and your Stamparatus
Stamp the inside of the flower using Highland Heather ink
Stamp the background using Purple Posy ink.
Cut out using the coordinating die.
Stamp 2 leaves - outline in Mossy Meadow ink and inside in Granny Apple Green ink.
Cut out using the coordinating die.
Wrap the Metallic Thread around the fat part of your palm 4-5 times. Pull off your hand and pinch together. Adhere to card base using Snail.
Adhere the flower using Dimensional
Adhere the leaves using Glue Dots
Stamp the sentiment on a 3/4" x 1 1/2" piece of Whisper White card stock. Cut a tag end and adhere to card base using a Glue Dot.
Adhere small pearl embellishments.

You'll be able to order the supplies to make this card as of June 4th when the new catalogue is released. If you live in Canada and would like to receive a copy of the Catalogue and you don't have a demonstrator, please email me to request a copy.

Today I'm sharing a card I created using the Magnolia Lane Suite - available after June 4th in the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalogue. I can't believe how many BEAUTIFUL suites there are in the new catalogue. The Designer Series Paper in this suite is to die for!

For this card I stamped the large magnolia image using Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and then coloured it using Stampin' Blends in Petal Pink (light and dark) for the flower, Crumb Cake (dark) for the branch and Calypso Coral (light), Mossy Meadow (light and dark) for the leaves.

The Designer Series Paper is just one of the beautiful papers you get in this package!

I added a sentiment stamped in Crumb Cake and a little bit of Mossy Meadow twine.

The image is large so it makes it easy to colour!

A beautiful sentiment and flower for the inside, stamped in Crumb Cake

Instructions

Fold Mossy Meadow card stock (4 1/4" x 11") in half to form base
Stamp the Magnolia image in Memento Tuxedo Black on a piece of Whisper White card stock

For this card, I stamped the bird image 3 times on Whisper White card stock and coloured it with Stampin' Blends markers. Then I used the Stitched Rectangle Framelits to cut out different parts of the image. Isn't this card so pretty!

Instructions

Fold Pool Party card stock (5 1/2" x 8 1/2") in half to form card base.

Adhere each of these sections to a piece of Petal Pink card stock (1 15/16" x 1 6/16") using Snail
Emboss a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Pool Party card stock using the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder and your Big Shot
Adhere the coloured images to the embossed card stock - approximately a 1/4" from the top. (Tip: I adhere the middle image first in the centre and then align the other two images on either side) using Dimensionals
Wrap a piece of the Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim around the embossed card stock and adhere with Snail
Tie a bow using a small piece of the Lace Trim.
Attach 2 Bird Ballad Trinkets to a piece of Linen Thread and tie through the bow of the Lace Bow in a Bow
Stamp the sentiment on a 1/2" x 1 3/4" piece of Whisper White card stock and adhere under the Lace Trim using a Glue Dot.

Stamp the left hand side of the bird image on a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock. Colour with Stampin' Blends.
