Good Friday morning my fellow stampers. Well the weekend is here ready or not. Has anyone made any fun plans? I’m really hoping, in between working, to supervise getting some of my flowers in the ground. I’m still with 1 arm and can’t seem to get the digging down properly yet. I’ve mastered quite a bit 1 handed, most importantly card making.
So I have a little sneak peek for you today. I’ve used a new stamp set coming in the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. If you don’t have a demonstrator and would like a catalog, drop me a line and I’d be happy to send one out to you. Here’s my card for today.
I’ve used a tiny bit of old and a whole lot of new on my card. I’ve also played along with Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge #314. Here’s their sketch.
I started with a panel of the soon to retire Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper and adhered it to a Blueberry Bushel card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I adhered a panel of the gorgeous new Perennial Essence Designer Series Paper to a mat of Blueberry Bushel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the matted DSP to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up Itty Bitty Birthdays Cling Stamp Set in Blueberry Bushel Ink to the left of the matted DSP.
On a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the flower from the new Stampin’ Up Floral Essence Photopolymer Stamp Set in Blueberry Bushel Ink. I stamped the inside of the flowers in Crushed Curry Ink. I stamped the leaf images from the same stamp set in Mossy Meadow and Old Olive Inks. I colored the flowers in using my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers. I colored the leaf image in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I fussy cut the flowers and the smaller leaf image out using my Paper Snips. I punched the larger leaf image out using my Leaf Punch. I arranged the flowers and leaves how I liked them on the card front and adhered them with Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals.
On the inside I stamped a couple flowers from the Floral Essence stamp set on the bottom corner of a Whisper White panel in Blueberry Bushel Ink using the masking technique. I stamped the leaves from the same stamp set in Old Olive Ink and the flower centers in Crushed Curry Ink. I colored the flowers in using my Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends Markers and the leaves in using my Old Olive Stampin’ Blends Markers. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in Blueberry Bushel Ink in the center of the panel. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Blueberry Bushel card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the flowers from the Floral Essence stamp set on the envelope front and colored them in the same as I did for the card. I adhered a panel of the Perennial Essence DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card. These products will be available on June 4th if you are interested in them. It’s truly a beautiful suite. Happy Stamping!!

Stampin’ Up! has posted their retiring lists for the 2018-19 Annual Catalog and 2019 Occasions Catalog. Head over to my online store to pick up those retiring items now! They’re only available while supplies last from now through June 3!
A few notes about the lists:
- Due to high demand for retiring stamp sets, these items will have guaranteed availability until May 24; all other products are not guaranteed and are available while supplies last only.
- Order deadline to get the retiring products: June 3, 2019; 11:50 PM (MT)
Please note, some of the bundle items may be carrying over into the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog. However, the bundle pricing will go away, so get them while you can at the discounted price!!
Stampin’ Up! Retirement List Clarification
It looks like every single stamp set from the 2018-19 Annual Catalog is being retired and that isn’t the case, the carryover sets are being transitioned to Cling Mount.
The stamp sets offered in clear-mount or wood-mount in the 2018–2019 annual catalog that are carrying over into the 2019–2020 annual catalog will be offered in clear-mount and/or wood-mount until existing inventory has been depleted or until June 4, 2019 (whichever comes first).
If the inventory is depleted, you will be notified of the automatic switch to cling when placing an order for that stamp set. This means that you may end up purchasing select cling stamp sets (in carryover artwork) before they can be ordered from the catalog! All carryover rubber stamp sets will be available in cling medium only (with the exception of background stamps in North America) beginning June 4, 2019.
