The paper comes in a pearl color and it is lovely. I wanted a blue color for another card. Using the new brushes and an empty container for the paint it became really easy. I just created the pearlescent paper using Misty Moonlight 2021-2022 InColor. Brushed with Frost White Shimmer Paint #147046 page 146 from the Main Catalog. It was so easy to apply using the NEW Blending Brushes #153611 from page 70 in the new MINI. The 3D embossing folder really makes the paper POP. Further, I colored a piece of Sahara Sand to have the pearlized look on the seashell. After pearlizing I stamped the stamp half in Balmy Blue and the rest in Flirty Flamingo. Then I ran the stamped shell through the die cut machine with the Seaside Seashells Die. Which cut the shell. Finally, by putting it back through the 3D Embossing Folder I got the beautiful texture of the shell. This Sand & Sea Collection is a winner. Love all the various ways different looks can be achieved. <br /><br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYworbuVCIkSRJstuzsfde4wQuu5QyxHpA5aH5TtgkZg9gBA6IFCRsaoj0FqM6LkrMibWcOx9ed83z3jjWFq4Fd9r8L9u-eOESB52gcflOWifb2eNiFHYkUc4M3cmvVRjThe18tadnDCM/" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYworbuVCIkSRJstuzsfde4wQuu5QyxHpA5aH5TtgkZg9gBA6IFCRsaoj0FqM6LkrMibWcOx9ed83z3jjWFq4Fd9r8L9u-eOESB52gcflOWifb2eNiFHYkUc4M3cmvVRjThe18tadnDCM/" width="180" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Friends Are Like Seashells<br /><br /></td></tr></tbody></table><br /> </p>Barb Harmonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16156513508701080879noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865886003075223688.post-6832839490424726392021-01-05T10:43:00.000-05:002021-01-05T10:43:08.434-05:00<p> January 5, 2021</p><p>Today is the BIG Day when the NEW Mini Catalog goes Live.

If you haven't received either of these catty's contact me to have one mailed . I had a lot of the catalogs mailed by Stampin'Up but have found out that many STILL go undelivered by the post office.

This is the front of my son's 50th birthday<br />
card. Inside I copied the song " 99 bottles of beer on the wall" Appropriate for him. The DSP<br />
has long been retired but was called " Bubbles<br />
& Fizz ". Back when in the Stampin'Up catalog<br />
there was a matching stamp set and dies.<br />

On June 4th our new catalog goes live. There are awesome stamps, dies, suites, supplies of ribbons, accessories and Designer Series paper to choose from. The current catalog 2018-2019 has a lot of items retiring. Take another look and see if there is something in the catty you missed. Just like the above example I take another look before closing the pages of the catalog for good and offering the retired stamp sets and dies FREE with purchase at my Open House on Sunday, June 2nd from 1 to 3 pm. Pick up the NEW catalog and enjoy speaking with other crafters like yourself. There will be retired supplies for sale at a nominal price.<br />

Each of my Sunday monthly classes at my house teaches a new technique.The technique last week started out to be the Black Ice Technique.<br />
That technique is to take silver foil<br />
and drag Black Stazon over the<br />
entire piece of cardstock. Then once<br />
you are sure the black Stazon is dry,<br />
stamp the image in Black Stazon<br />
also. Air or heat dry if needed and<br />
then pat the entire piece of silver<br />
foil paper with versamark. While<br />
wet apply clear embossing powder<br />
over the entire piece and then heat<br />
until the embossing powder becomes shiney and clear. This is where my FAUX comes in. To give the look of the lines from the Black Stazon without the mess I then ran<br />
the silver embossed paper through the Big Shot using the Subtle Embossing Folder 143706. The folder gives the foil paper the texture that is very similar to the appearance of the dragged Black Stazon without the mess. You can see the difference of the 2 pieces of silver on the card. The words were only stamped in the Stazon and popped up. The silver trees were then mounted with Tear Tape placed on the new Merry Merlot yardstick and then onto a black card.<br />

The Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper is the background of the 2 cards pictured. Love this paper ! It works with ALL of the stamps displayed in the Under The Mistletoe Suite beginning on page 94 of the 2018-2019 catalog. The Poinsettia set is new this year and is gorgeous. " It is referred to in the the catty as " Dist Ink Tive " The detail in this stamp set is awesome.. It looks like it is a two stamp process but infact it is one stamp.<br />
<br />
The flower is stamped in real red and the leaves in Old Olive. This 7 stamp set can be found on page 101. The ease of stamping these images and the detail that shows on the cardstock is amazing. The center of the poinsettia has 3 Metallic Gold Pearls which are a new accessory and you can find on page 197. Each package has 121 pearls in gold and silver. The 3mm size is great for sending through the mail.<br />
<br />
With the summer heat we are having stamping will keep you busy and you can be ahead of the holiday rush. Right now Stampin'Up is having a sale on the 11.00 Designer Papers. Buy 3 and Get 1 FREE through the end of the month. Don't miss getting 25% off. The pearls are 7.00 for 242 pieces.<br />

The above stamp set ,new in the 2018-2019 Stampin'Up catalog is becoming one of my favorites. The stamp set can be found on page 133. Along with the stamp set is a coordinated framelits die set. There are lovely words that are in a beautiful script. On the sailboat card the words from the Lilypad card are on the inside. I reversed the sayings on the other card. Both are so appropriate for several card choices we use frequently. The water was stamped in the new Balmy Blue on a piece of Tranquil Textures Designer Series Paper. Blender pens colored the bird and lily pad. The sailboat water was stamped in Coastal Cabana and sailboats colored with our Stampin'Write Markers in Coastal Cabana and the new InColor Lovely Lipstick. This stamp set also has a " Congratulations " which with the above images would make a great travel or retirement card. The other two sayings are " To See Far is one thing ..." and " Going there is another."<br />
<br />
There are so many wonderful new stamp sets and dies in the catalog. Along with a revamp of colors and 5 awesome 2018-2020 InColors. This is the perfect time to join the Stampin'Up family. During July Stampin'Up is offering an additional 67.50 package of 10 stamp pads from one of the groups to the 99.00 of merchandise which is worth 125.00 in products.

Ask me how and benefit from this awesome promotion that I can ever remember in my 12+ years of being a demonstrator.<br />

teddy bears. Growing up my bed<br />
was covered with various sizes<br />
dressed in array of outfits. Stampin'Up has the cutest stamp set<br />
named Baby Bear on page 84. It is<br />
three stamps to get the details of this<br />
special guy. The three main stamps are numbered one through 3 and you are told to start with the number 1 stamp which is the very dark details then the 2nd and finally the silhouette which is his lightest background. I found starting with the last stamp the background made for much easier placement of the other two stamps. Because this was a class at the library I stamped 15 teddy bears using the new Stamparatus and found having the silhouette first made the rest of the stamping easy work. The lightest color was Sahara Sand, then Crumb Cake and the darkest Early Expresso.

This new set can be found on page 27. There is also a mommy and<br />
baby kangaroo. Not only are all<br />
three very cute and different the one<br />
saying "Wild about You " makes for a cute card. These were colored with<br />
the new Blends which makes coloring very quick and fun. The<br />
Designer Paper is also new and from<br />
Nature's Poem. The punched edge<br />
is also new from the Detailed Trio<br />
punch. The ribbon is also new and<br />
available in 5 InColors for 2019-2020. This color is called Grape-fruit Grove. With the new Stampin'<br />
Up color change we have a gorgeous<br />
group of " New" colors to design<br />
cards with. Because of this I will be having all the retired colors on sale at my Open House on Sunday, May 27, from 1 to 4 pm. They are a real bargain at 3.00 for the Ink pad, reinker and SU marker. My retired stamps and dies are FREE with an order for the value from the new catalog. This year because of the date you can order from either of the catalogs and benefit from the FREE stamps .

I appreciate all who has stuck with me. I had a medical problem that took my energy, what little I had prevented me from being able to think clearly.<br />

Now that I'm well once again I can enjoy stamping and all the products Stampin' Up offers. The new catalog should be coming to your home shortly and I know you are going to love it. This year, for the 30th anniversary of Stampin'Up the company has redone the 4 color groups. We also got 5 new InColors for 2018-2020. Four of the colors are bright and bold and one Grapefruit Grove which I think should have been called Orange Sherbet are a welcomed addition. Just like last year Stampin'Up has created a "Suite" that can be ordered from now until May 31st with some free merchandise depending which suite you order. The paper below is one of the 24 sheets from the "Share What You Love Suite". The Stamps also come from that Suite. These 5 3X3 cards were created using<br />
the new colors, Lovely Lipstick, Pineapple Punch, Grapefruit Grove, Blueberry Bushel and Call Me Clover. The ink pads are really new. The way they open and close is new and once broken in you will love them. The ink pads are 10% off or 33.75. You will see on the top flowers a small delicate Artisan Pearl. They are available as part of the " A Little more please bundle, 91.50 or the Got to have it all Bundle which is 127.50 which has 3 items for FREE. Further, if you add the stamp pads you can qualify as a hostess and get over 16.00 in additional products from Stampin'Up. I think each of us enjoys free products and 10% off when making an online purchase. Happy Stamping !<br />

It seems the older I get the quicker time flies. Which is amazing considering I'm not working full-time and can spend each day the way I want. I am so happy to be back creating in my craft room. With the NEW Occasions catalog that can be purchased from beginning on January 4, 2017 and the fun Sale-a-Bration which allows you to get something FREE for each 50.00 in merchandise purchase from either the main catty or the new Occasion catalog it is a very fun time of the year. New stamps and accessories to get your creative juices flowing. Pages of creative ideas with Sizzix Dies, beautiful ribbons all coordinated to produce one or dozens of cards using your talents. And very typical of Stampin'Up the Sale-a-Bration catalog of FREE stamps and accessories always have some very unique items. This year is no exception. I'm guessing that Hey, Chick on page 17 will be our Number 1 set for 2017 Sale-A-Creation.

A week from today is January 1st, 2017. Hard to believe that that 2016 is almost over. This past Monday the attached cards were ones that everyone made at class at the Resource Center. The celebrate card could be a New Years card or birthday card, by using a different sentiment for the inside. The calendar for 2017 could be used for a January birthday card or to replace the Christmas card not sent. The calendar is made with<br />

the placard design. You could add a sentiment to the back of the calendar .It closes easily to put in an envelope to mail. The design is easy. You start with a 41/4 X 11" card folded at 5 1/2 " Then you take a second piece of card stock cut 41/4 X 5 " Score at 1", 21/2", and 4". Fold and glue the one inch sides to the inside of the main card. Decorate as you like.

Commitments and my health has made my time much shorter to keep up with everything. In fact, this year I took my downlines out to dinner. To be honest, I haven't had the energy to cook. It was a great choice because the ones who could attend seemed to enjoy the idea. Some brought gifts for the others which was not at all expected or necessary. I want to share the talent that my downlines have. The couple of items I took photos of show you the talents my friends have.<br />

This almost became my anniversary card this year. However, it didn't show the number of years so I decided that the one below was more in keeping with our 40th wedding anniversary. This card was done with a Sahara Sand card base, then barely black, Dapper Denim, whisper white, basic black and topped with the Flourish Thinlits cut from Dazzling Diamonds glitter paper. The background of the Dapper Denin was done using the new Petal Burst embossing folder.<br />
<br />
The new precision plate from Sizzix is a must to cut the small detail from the leaves of this die. Add the Die brush to your order and you will enjoy cutting these small intricate dies. All the Big Shot supplies can be found on page 190.<br />
You can save some money by purchasing in<br />
July. Get a 5.00 coupon to use in August with each 50.00 purchase you make in July. This is on top of the 10% you get when you order 150.00 or more in one order. Who does't like a 20% savings in 60 days or less. would appreciate your using HOSTESS CODE until August 15th .<br />

Yesterday was my 40th anniversary. It is hard<br />
for me to believe that 40 years have passed since<br />
we committed to share the rest of our lives<br />
together. Further ,how fast the time has passed.<br />
This is the card I made for Don the loving man in my life . I love theBloomin'Heart Thinlits. The intricate details of the heart are outstanding. Buying the Sizzix precision plate and the magnetic platform the small pieces of paper come out easily when you go over the cut heart with the new Die Brush in the catalog. The brush is a necessity when cutting the new intricate dies we are now selling. A lot easier than poking each chad out with a pin or bent paperclip.I backed the real red heart with one of our delicate dollies found on page 175. The<br />
glittered large silver numbers can be found on<br />
page 193. The XO paper was from a previous<br />
catalog but any black and white designer series<br />
paper would do . The miniature flowers were die cut from the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter paper.<br />
<br />
Don't forget every order for 50.00 or more you place online during the month of July gives you a 5.00 coupon to spend during the month of August. You can access my website above by clicking Shop 24/7. I would appreciate it if you would us<br />
HOSTESS CODE 9CTJYMX6 when you place your order. Remember you get 5.00 for every multiple of 50.00 you spend. For 150.00 you get 15.00 in coupons and 15.00 in hostess dollars or really 20% in the next 30 days or less Don't hesitate to contact me with any concerns or questions you may have.<br />

The frog is so lovable with his profile, mouth and eyes. He was simple to color with a blender pen and one of the new InColors called Emerald Envy. The background paper is from the 2016-2018 12 X 12 Envelope paper. You get 20 sheets for 11.00 a great paper that is thinner than our regular cardstock. If you are like me wanting to hoard my decorative paper you might consider lining the envelope flap instead of creating a whole envelope. Either way it makes a nice statement to the recipient getting a matching envelope with one of your handmade cards. The ribbon is also one of the new Rushed ribbons in the 2016-2018 InColors. The scallop square in black was made with our new Layering Square Framelits. There are 19 dies in the set some scalloped and others with a straight edge. Consider this hostess set if you spend 150.00. This set will make a statement on any size card you want to make. This is truly a five minute card with a lot of pizzaz.Barb Harmonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16156513508701080879noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3865886003075223688.post-83828484025497432512016-06-26T12:54:00.002-04:002016-06-26T12:54:52.277-04:00POP OF PARADISE<div style="text-align: justify;">
I love flamingos. They are so much fun to watch especially when they spend most of their time on one leg. This new stamp set offered by Stampin'Up this year has eight great stamps. Not only the flamingo but also a pineapple for good luck, 2 tropical leaves, a heart shape with Thinking of you ,a Thakn You banner, the Hellow and also "A VERY special day ".The card here was made for a swap I'm in with other Stampin'Up demonstrators. The color chosen is one of the new InColors called Flirty Flamingo appropriately named. I just paired it with black and white using the InColor Designer Series paper stack. The card is designed as a " Z" card using the brand new Layering Oval Framelits by Sizzix also found in the new catalog . I colored one of the smallest pearls with a Sharpie black marker. This is a great stamp set to own. </div>

the Fancy Fold. I have showcased this card style the last two months in my Sunday technique classes. This movable shape is easy to duplicate and there are many videos showing you how to recreate this dynamic design. This would be a great card for young to old. <br />
The balloon punch made it easy to cut out the shape. There are two sizes to the punch and the balloons here are the smaller of the two. The cake came from the Party Wishes Stamp set which along with the Designer Series Paper is found on page 5 of the Occasions Catalog. I attached the balloons with Stamping glue dots on a 3/8" wide window sheet. The saying " A Party Without Cake Is Just a Meeting is Also from the Party Wishes Stamp Set. Happy Stamping !<br />

Yellow flowers seem to do the best in our summer heat. The two cards shown are changed by their size. The card on the left is an A2 see card, meaning that it measures 41/4 X 51/2 inches. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYifZ7ACOKiyXC8WDXr0q_mNfIuAQvqKk2eFTrJRgPoz631R-M6AYvffwslDOJREdIdBjnMVC98DvepGnFSll72vbQKFxTYW6_1I_MrEwfYYbhugtx1WsiqdRrRGGWMgs_sw2pkNYcBkU/s1600/2015-05-29+12.03.40.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYifZ7ACOKiyXC8WDXr0q_mNfIuAQvqKk2eFTrJRgPoz631R-M6AYvffwslDOJREdIdBjnMVC98DvepGnFSll72vbQKFxTYW6_1I_MrEwfYYbhugtx1WsiqdRrRGGWMgs_sw2pkNYcBkU/s640/2015-05-29+12.03.40.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
The card on the right is<br />
6 X 3 inches. You can<br />
get four cards out of a<br />
a 12 X 12 inch piece<br />
of card stock. Scoring<br />
the 6 X 6 piece of card-<br />
stock at three inches.<br />
<br />
The card is using the Flower Patch 19 piece<br />
photopolymer stamp set<br />
#134207. The saying<br />
" Happy Blooming<br />
Birthday" is on the front<br />
of the A2 card and the<br />
sentiment on the 6 X 3<br />
card. The card base is<br />
Island Indigo. The flowers are stamped in<br />
Daffodil Yellow and the<br />
center is stamped in Hello Honey. Fussy cutting the flowers makes for an eye catching edge. The rhinestones were colored with Sharpie yellow marker.<br />
<br />
I'm very happy that this stamp set has been carried forward to the 2015-2016 Stampin'Up catalog. This stamp set also coordinates with the Flower Fair Framelits found on page 172.<br />

Enjoy this great stamp set. There are several flowers and matching leaves to make great cards for a lot of different occasions.<br />
The old catalog ends on June 2nd and the new catalog begins on June 2nd. This will allow you one day to purchase from both. <br />
Happy Stamping !<br />

base layered with Basic Grey then Pacific Point followed by the plaid DSP from Adventure Bound #137780 which is retiring on June 2, 2015 or until sold-out. This packet of Designer Series paper has great male patterns that you would never be at a loss for the background for a man's card. The ship was stamped in black as well as the compass on the inside of the card. That image came from The Open Seas Stamp set<br />
<br />
This easel card is very easy to make. This card is 4 X 4 but it can be any size you want. You can make 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 if you prefer. The front of the card is scored on the diagonal from the top right to the bottom of the fold on the left. Fold the fold toward the inside of the card. When applying the card layering pieces ONLY apply adhesive to the bottom right on the diagonal to adhere to the card base. The top left needs to be FREE to make the easel. To hold easel in place apply a dimensional to the bottom right corner on the inside.<br />

This side view shows you how the compass is popped-up.<br />
<br />
The Traveler and The Open Seas stamp set maybe to stamp sets you might want to add to your collection of stamps. Both are real masculine sets that have several different stamps to use for male cards.<br />
<br />
Happy Stamping and don't forget the current Stampin'Up catalog closes on June 2, 2015 And a brand new 2015-2016 catalog of ideas starts the same day.<br />

This was the recent class at my Sunday Technique class in my home. The Happy Birthday card uses Stampin'Up whisper white card stock while the It's Your Day card is using our watercolor paper. The watercolor paper shows more texture but both are very pretty in person.<br />

Using a dauber to apply white craft ink after the backgrounds are completely dry. The Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral card had the colors applied with a sponge in a circular motion on the whisper white card stock. The It's Your Day card used an Aquapainter to apply Rich Razzleberry, Tempting Turquoise and Crushed Curry in a brush motion allowing the color to run on the wet watercolor paper. Once dry the card fronts were stamped using Stazon Black ink. The It's Your Day is from the four stamp set called Big on You. The Happy comes from a four piece die set called Hello You Thinlits and the birthday is from Crazy about You both are available as a bundle saving you 15%.</div>

The holiday time between Thanksgiving and Christmas seemed much shorter this year. Here it is Christmas Eve evening and I still trying to complete all of the plans and tasks on my list. As usual a few will remain undone even though I had the best intentions. I'm sure many of you can relate.<br />
<br />
In going through all the cards I designed this year I have to say that the card shown is exactly how I feel.<br />
" Peace on Earth ".<br />
I can only hope and pray that<br />
2015 is a better year for all<br />
of the struggling individuals <br />
in the world. That a vaccine is found for the Ebola virus and that all of us experience good health in the coming year.<br />
<br />
To all " A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year".<br />
