Simple Stamping Episode 22: Featuring the Daisy Lane Stamp Set

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am sharing another simple stamping card and video for you.  I used the Daisy Lane Stamp Set for my images.  Simple Stamping is geared toward the person that has never stamped before or the person just starting out.  And I am super happy to share these types of cards with you.  I remember the feeling I had when I first put ink to paper and the image appeared.  I never thought that a stamp with all those tiny little groves and gouges when inked would create such beautiful images.  So, I am happy and excited to help you learn the art and joy of stamping.  Here's a look at today's simple stamped card.

I did you the Daisy Lane Stamp Set on my card as I mentioned but I also used one of the new 2019 2021 In Colors today.  I used Terracotta Tile as one of my colors, it has a rich warm color that's just a little darker than Calypso Coral.  Terracotta Tile is very close to the Pantone Color of the year this year Living Coral.  I pared Terracotta Tile with Coastal Cabana and Garden Green.
I like sharing the technique I did today with new stampers because you learn that you don't have to have a lot of supplies to create a beautiful card, and you learn how to create your own Designer Series Paper.  Which is a great skill to know.  

Video Tutorial: 

If you are viewing this post by email you will need to click on the image below to view the video. 
After stamping the images as I did in the video.  It was time to put the card together.  I trimmed down the Whisper White stamped image down to 4 x 5 1/4.  I saved the little piece of cardstock that I trimmed off to use for the inside of my card.  I added the Stamped image to a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock cut at 5 3/8 x 4 1/8.  My card base is a piece of Terracotta Tile cut in half and scored at 5 1/2.  So, it's 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2.  
I hope that you are enjoying this Simple Stamping Series and that if you have never stamped before but have been thinking about it.  I hope that these videos and post help you make the decision to give it a try. It will change your life, I know that it sounds strange, but it has changed mine and I know it will you too.  
Happy Stampin'

Let's Talk In Colors! Introducing the 2019-2021 Stampin' Up! In Colors

Hello and welcome to my Blog and YouTube Channel; today I am going to talk to you about the new 2019-2021 In Colors.  This years colors are very vintage looking some look very muted while others are very pastel.  I have seen almost all of them in resent fashion spreads, among other things.

If you don't know the In Colors are colors that are on Trend and we get five new colors every other year.  These colors are replacing Lemon Lime Twist, Tranquil Tide, Berry Burst, Fresh Fig, and Powder Pink.  If you want any thing that has to do with the retiring colors you need to get them now they are all on the Last Chance List and the in colors always sale fast.  You can click here to shop the retiring list.  So are you ready to see the five new colors that are replacing these favorites?

The new in colors are Rococo Rose, Terracotta Tile, Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, and Purple Posey.   So I made five cards using the same stamp set to showcase and introduce these new colors during my weekly Facebook Live Last night.  You can see that video below and I  have a closer look at each color for you also.

Video Tutorial:

Closer Look: 

Okay so lets have a closer look at each of these fun new colors shall we.  
Here's a look at Rococo Rose, with it's muted mauve pink color.  I really think that this color will be very interesting when paired with different colors.   And, depending on what you pair it with it will change the tone it appears.  
Terracotta Tile is the perfect cross between red and orange.  It has a earthy undertone that reminds me of Spanish tiles.  It has a rich but muted tone to it that will be interesting to see how it pairs with some of the core colors.   
Pretty Peacock is exactly that it looks like the color in a peacock.  Its a very deep teal blue color that's going to be perfect rich regal color that will pair well with purples as well as greens, and most blues.  If you think it looks like tranquil tide you would be surprised when placed side by side that Tranquil Tide is more a greenish teal color.  
Seaside Spray is a very muted pastel blue that reminds me of a winter sky.  This is going to be a color that's fun to play with.  
Purple Posey just by observation and I haven't tested this yet.  Looks like it could be layered with Highland Heather, and Gorgeous Grape as the lightest color of the three.  I did notice that when I stamped it off; it was a super light shade.  
Well that's a quick little walk through of the five new colors.  If you are wondering what stamp set I used it's To A Wild Rose which is new in the upcoming 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  All the new products that I am sharing with you today can not be purchased until June.  If you would like to get your hands on these items early it's super easy to do.  All you have to do is join my team and you will be able to preorder with other demonstrators in May.   So would you like to see a few of the color coordinating products that match these colors.  I am sure that you are dying to see a few more things right.  

Coordinating Products Sneak Peek!: 

Here's a look at all the upcoming coordinating products that match the new In Colors as well as a little sneak peek at the 2018-2020 In color embellishment.  We have new paper stacks in the In Colors, and new ribbon that match this years colors along with embellishments and a few new blends.  
Thanks for dropping by remember if you want to get these colors early you have to join my team to do so for the preorder in May otherwise you have to wait until June to get them.  Don't forget that the retiring 2017-2019 In Colors are on the Last Chance List and will only be while supplies last.
