Hello, y’all! Well – I hope your week is going well and that any and all last minute shopping is done! If not – and you’re worrying about shipping times (there’s only 10 days left, folks!)…might I suggest a gift certificate? Maybe drop a hint to the other folks in your household that Stampin’ Up! products would be a VERY good gift this year! Socially distanced – keeps you at home! Win-win! And – as it happens (coincidence? I think not!) – I can help with that! Give me a holler!
So – my card today features another sneak peek at a grand new Suite in the upcoming Jan – Jun 2021 Mini Catalog…the Sand & Sea suite! It’s anchored by the Friends Are Like Seashells bundle with help from the amazeballs Seashells 3D Embossing Folder – and the gorgeous Sand & Sea DSP. Take a look-see:
Hey y’all – it’s Sunday, which means I’ve got another fun challenge for you from the Paper Players – Claire’s got a cool color challenge for us all … I hope you’ll come and play along with us! While the challenge seems like a great New Year’s card – I came up with something a little different! What will you make?? 🙂
If you were able to join me yesterday for my Facebook Live video, I appreciate you spending some of your weekend with me! If you weren’t able to watch the live version, but you’d like to see the replay on YouTube…here ’tis!
For this one, I pulled out the Dragonfly Garden stamp set and the Dragonflies Punch! These items will be available on 5 Jan 2021 in the Jan – Jun 2021 Mini Catalog. And – for the BIG impact – I used a piece of the Dandy Laser-Cut Paper – which is also part of the Dandy Garden Suite! Take a look-see:
Here’s the Paper Players color challenge just in case you weren’t able to figure it out! 😉
I started with a piece of Basic Black that I matted on Silver Foil for the card front.
Next, I selected a panel of the new Dandy Laser-Cut Paper and used Liquid Glue to adhere it to a piece of Basic Black card stock the same size. Then I matted that on Silver Foil and popped it onto the card front with the Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On another piece of Basic Black cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from Dragonfly Garden in Versamark Ink, sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool.
Tip: when you heat emboss, the powder turns into a liquid-y form until it cools off. Be careful to not stick your fingers in it. Trust me. It won’t run or anything, but it WILL smear/come off. Once it’s good and cool, you’re good to go! 😉
So – when it was cool, I cut it with a die from the Tasteful Labels die set.
I cut two lengths of Black 3/8″ Glittered Organdy Ribbon and adhered them to the card front with Glue Dots.
Then I popped the sentiment over top with Black Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I punched a bevy of bitty dragonflies from Silver Foil using the Dragonflies Punch. Two of them I adhered to the sentiment with Liquid Glue and the other three I popped on with mini Black Stampin’ Dimensionals. And – that was it for the card front!
I DID toy with adding some Rhinestones, but….held myself back!
On the inside, I used Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the little dragonflies and a second sentiment from Dragonfly Garden on a Whisper White panel.
I used Stampin’ Seal to adhere the panel to a Silver Foil mat and into my Whisper White card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more of the Tuxedo Black Dragonfly Garden dragonflies on the front…
…and a large dragonfly on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! The Dandy Garden Suite – with the Dragonfly Garden and the DragonfliesPunch as an integral part! – is absolutely one of my favorite new goodies in the Jan – Jun 2021 Mini Catalog!
If you want to recreate this card – all the Stampin’ Up! products you need are listed down below along with the card cuts!
I hope you like!
Now…take a look at what the rest of the team has to offer! Then pull out your ink and papers and have a little fun! 🙂

WHISPER WHITE CARDSTOCK IS RETIRING!
Stampin’ Up! posted this update late in the day on Thursday.
Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple for so long. We love it and we know you love it, too. We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.
We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!
The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!
What does this mean for you?
With Whisper White going out of production, this means a number of Whisper White products will be affected. Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.
Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. This means that some Whisper White and Basic White products may be available at the same time. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.
We also have a video message addressing some potential concerns that you may have. This video goes over a comparison of Whisper White to Basic White so you will know what to expect with this change. You can watch the video here.
It’s always hard to say goodbye, but we are excited about the new Basic White product line and we encourage you to try it out! We are confident that you’ll love it just as much as we do.

Finn loves me.
A lot.
And ALWAYS wants to be where I am!
Like – sitting right next to me on the sofa – gazing at me with love and devotion.
Good morning and happy Friday! Another busy week has flown by – I DID finally start baking – yeah me! – so…SOME gifts will go out soon. I fear I’m going to have to GO TO A STORE – cuz….boy have I messed up the whole buy online thing! I’m still waiting for an order to arrive that was slated to come last Monday, so…. 🙄
If you were able to join me yesterday for my YouTube live, I appreciate you spending some time with me – if not, but you’d like to see the replay, here ’tis! 🙂
There seems to be a spike in the need for sympathy cards right now, so…that’s what I did with this one. I started with a sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog) and brought in some new goodies. The Heal Your Heartand A Touch of Ink stamp sets – available on 5 Jan 2021! Take a look-see:
I started with a piece of the Hydrangea Hill DSP – the striped Highland Heather design – and stamped all over it with the flower image in the A Touch of Ink stamp set. I stamped the flowers in stamped-off-once Highland Heather to get a more subtle tone-on-tone look.
Then I matted the panel on Seaside Spray for the card front.
I cut another piece of the Hydrangea Hill DSP and a piece of Whisper White to 2″ x 4 3/8″. I punched the tops of both strips with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch – and rounded the bottom corners with the corner-rounder on the Detailed Trio Punch.
I created the “mat” look by cutting the Whisper White tag in half length-wise and then adhering each side to the back of the DSP strip with Liquid Glue – leaving a little white border.
Then I popped the matted tag onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I trimmed a Square Vellum Doily down a bit with my Paper Snips and adhered it to the tag with Liquid Glue.
On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the sentiment from Peaceful Momentsin Gorgeous Grape ink and cut it out with a Tasteful Labels die. Then I adhered it to the tag with Liquid Glue.
On another piece of Whisper White, I stamped the hummingbird outline from A Touch of Ink in Seaside Spray ink. To color him, I inked the fill stamp in Seaside Spray – stamped it off once on scrap paper – and stamped it over the image. Then I fussy cut the little bird.
I used Stampin’ Dimensionals and Liquid Glue to adhere him – then I brushed him all over with my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
I tied a bow with some new Gorgeous Grape 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon (available 5 Jan 21) and added it at the top of the tag with a Glue Dot.
A Seaside Spray pearl from the new Pastel Pearls (coming on 5 Jan 2021) on the sentiment tag finished off the card front.
On the inside, I stamped a sentiment – one of my favorites! – from the Heal Your Heart set in Gorgeous Grape on a Whisper White panel. Over that, in stamped-off-TWICE Highland Heather – I stamped the A Touch of Ink flower that I’d used on the front of the card.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Seaside Spray mat and into my Gorgeous Grape card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got the A Touch of Ink flower on the front in full strength Highland Heather ink….
…and more of the Hydrangea Hill DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Love that both the A Touch of Ink AND Heal Your Heart stamp sets will be available for FREE in the 2021 Sale-A-Bration Flyer! They’re both wonderful!
And the Hydrangea Hill DSP is just….stunning!
I hope you like. And have got ALL these new goodies on your gotta-have-it list for 5 Jan!!

So – the other day, I pulled some homemade Sourdough Pancakes out of the freezer and re-heated them in the toaster oven for Wayne. I made about one-too-many but I figured if he didn’t finish them – I could have a bite or two of pancake. With a little warm real maple syrup.
Seemed like a fine plan.
He sat down to eat and I worked on my morning blog posting routine.
Soon, as expected, he started to say he had too much food.
I musta been a little slow on the uptake – cuz before I could say….”I’ll eat them”…..
Happy Happy Hawwmp Day!! And welcome to another edition of the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop. I hope you’ll sit down and spend a little time with us – regardless of where YOU are in the world! 🙂 I know you’re going to see some awesome projects!
Like most hops, we have a theme each month – and this month’s is “Something New – Something Old”! That’s pretty easy right now – especially with the Pre-Order/Sneak Peek we demonstrators got from the new Jan – June 2021 Mini Catalog and 2021 Sale-A-Bration Brochure!! 🙂
So….I pulled out the fun Handsomely Suited bundle – with Suit & Ties Dies– and the masculine-themed Well Suited DSP. Take a look-see!
The layout for this one is loosely inspired by this week’s CAS(E)This Sketch challenge.
So…being that this was my first go with the Suit & Tie Dies, I used the samples in the Mini Catalog to help me design my bespoke suit!
I first cut a piece of the Well Suited DSP in a quiet Basic Gray pinstrip to the size of my card front (3 3/4″ x 5″). Then, using the “V” die in Suite & Ties – I cut out the front of the suit.
I adhered the “suit” to a piece of Whisper White cardstock – making sure to NOT use any Liquid Glue around the bottom of the “V”. Then I adhered the whole thing to a Night of Navy and a Pacific Point mat.
I stamped a tie image in Night of Navy on Pacific Point and cut it with the die in the Suite & Tie set.
And – I cut a “shirt collar” in Whisper White.
I slid the end of the tie into the bottom of the “V” behind the DSP and adhered it to the piece of Whisper White. Then I used Liquid Glue to adhere the collar on – making sure the top of the tie was tucked in.
I used the Suit-collar die and cut another piece of the Basic Gray pinstripe Well Suited DSP and popped that in place with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I decided a button was in order, so I cut one from Night of Navy with the die in the set and adhered it with Liquid Glue.
I stamped the Handsomely Suited sentiment in Night of Navy on a piece of Whisper White and punched it with the Tailored Tag Punch.
Sorry. Had to do it!
I added some “faux stitches” with my Pacific Point Stampin’ Write Marker.
I used the little “pocket” die in the Suit & Tie Dies to cut two flowery pockets, which I adhered – pointy ends up – to the back of the Tailored Tag sentiment. Then I popped it onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Tip: as I look at the picture above – I can just see the Dimensional under the suit collar. When you make this card – use Black Stampin’ Dimensionals! 😉
I added a few Misty Moonlight 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots – one to the sentiment and one to the tie (like a tie tack) and the card front was done!
On the inside, I added a second sentiment from Handsomely Suited in Night of Navy ink to a Whisper White panel. Then I stamped a line of ties across the bottom – alternating between Night of Navy and Pacific Point.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to Night of Navy and Pacific Point mats and into my Basic Gray card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Whisper White Medium Envelope got more of the ties across the front…
…and a little of the flowery Well Suited DSP on the envelope flap.
Et Voila! This is a really cool stamp set and dies, y’all! Perfect for manly birthday or Father’s Day cards! The Handsomely Suitedstamp set – with the bundled Suit & Tie Dies lets you really get creative with your “clothing”!
I’ve even heard tell that you can make a lab coat! I think my vet men and women NEED that, don’t you?!?
I love love love the papers in the Well Suited DSP! The colors are great – and the designs are perfectly suited (sorry. not sorry) for the tie dies in the bundle!
Right?!? I hope you like – and are making a list!!
If you want to recreate this card – all the Stampin’ Up! products you need are listed down below along with the card cuts!
Now that you’ve seen my card, take a minute to hop thru all our projects today. As I said earlier – we’ve got folks from across the globe…

Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is Celebrate! We can interpret that any way we want – so…be sure to check and see everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!
I decided to…make a birthday card! And I decided to use a brand new stamp bundle – so new, in fact, that…unless you’re a SU Demonstrator…you’re going to have to wait to get it until the Jan – Jun 2021 Mini Catalog goes live on 5 Jan 21! I picked the gorgeous – stupendous! – Sand & Sea Suite. The anchor is the Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle and the Sand & Sea DSP. There’s also gorgeous Pearlescent Specialty Paper and Opal Rounds embellishments and….the amazeballs Seashells 3D Embossing Folder! Take a look-see:
The layout is from this week’s Fab Friday sketch challenge.
I started with a gorgeous piece of Sand & Sea DSP that I matted on Blushing Bride cardstock for the card front.
Next – I took a piece of new Pearlescent Specialty Paper and the big, wait-until-you-see-what-this-can-do die from the Seaside Seashells Dies set and cut out the wunnermus seashells “scene”.
Using the stamps in the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set, I stamped the die cut to add the images. I used Sahara Sand for the large and small cone shells, Seaside Spray for the two clam shells and Blushing Bride for the largest shell-whose-name-I-don’t-know! 😉 I used my Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Combo to color all the grasses.
And then…the magic happened! 😉
I placed the colored die cut inside the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder – it fits PERFECTLY into the image in the folder…
…and ran it thru my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. It. Works. Like. A. Charm!! 🙂
Can you see all that beautiful embossed detail? If not – you’ll have to take my word for it for now! 😉
Using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I popped the die cut onto my card front.
I used a Stitched Shapes square die to cut a piece of Vellum cardstock and one of the circle Stitched Shapes dies to cut the center out. Then I used some Glue Dots – at the bottom of the square – to adhere the square to the card front.
I cut two lengths of new Blushing Bride 3/8″ Metallic Ribbon and adhered them in a bit of an “x” with more Glue Dots.
On a strip of the Pearlescent Specialty Paper, I stamped the Friends Are Like Seashells sentiment in Blushing Bride. Tip: ink stays wet longer on this Pearlescent paper – so….use your Heat Tool or go get a snack while it gets good and dry! When it was dry, I snipped some banner ends and then popped it on with Dimensionals.
I popped some of those pretty new Opal Rounds onto the card front and the Vellum (cleverly hiding a few extra Glue Dots!!) and the card front was done!
On the inside, I stamped a second sentiment from Friends Are Like Seashells in Blushing Bride on a Very Vanilla panel. Over it, in stamped-off-once Sahara Sand, I added a sand dollar from the set. Around that, I added “bubbles” in stamped-off-once Seaside Spray.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Blushing Bride mat and into my Sahara Sand card base, popped the card front on with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the card was done!
My Very Vanilla Medium Envelope got a full-strength Sahara Sand sand dollar on the front. I made a sticky note mask for it and then stamped the clam shells in Seaside Spray. I pulled up the mask and added more bubbles…
…and added more of the Sand & Sea DSP to the envelope flap.
Et Voila! Wow. Just…wow! Y’all – this Sand & Sea Suite is seriously beautiful! From the DSP with the same name…
To the Friends Are Like Seashells Bundle – with that big die that FITS IN THE SEASHELLS 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER!! Yes – I DID mean to yell – it’s that BIG!!
I hope you like – and are frantically searching for your wish list!! 😉
