Mother's Day Tulips

5/21/2022

I'm so excited that Make My Monday #174 has such a fabulous theme going - "springtime!"
I settled on tulips as a lovely banner of Spring - I used to LOVE seeing all my grandmother's bulbs coming up, it was like she painted with flowers!  I went for this gorgeous perspective sheet from the Flowering Fields DSP, love the rows headed off into the distance, lol.  At the last second, I decided to add a little windmill, why not, and finished with this simple Mother's Day sentiment.  I had cut out some fencing, and finally tucked it behind the sentiment, but not sure it shows up all that well.  Still fun, though!
Flowering Tulips & Tulip Fields Stamp Sets; Flowering Fields DSP; Petal Pink, Calypso Coral & Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Petal Pink & Calypso Coral Blends Markers; Windmill Fields Dies; Elegant Faceted Gems; #MMM174.

Chicken Mom

Aw, such sweet "mommy" cookies at this month's If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #168!  Love them!
So, I went searching for mom and baby critter stamps - I did have a few choices, I admit.  But then, as I often do, I wondered about the chickens, lol.  Could I do something new there?  I've never made a Mother's Day card with this set, but I think almost all the elements are there!  So off I went, lol, and it was So. Much. Fun. As the chickens always are!  I finished us off with this cute sentiment from Happy & Heartfelt - just right!
​Best of Cluck (retired 2006) and Happy & Heartfelt Stamp Sets; Basic White & Real Red CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; So Saffron, Daffodil Delight (this one was actually a Blendability, shh), Mango Melody, Real Red & Granny Apple Green Blends Markers; #Cookie168.

Mother's Day Tea

Oh wow, the inspiration cupcake is SO CUTE this week at Cupcake Inspirations #543!  Love it!
I knew right away I would be using our new Cup of Tea set - so many awesome little tea details, lol.  I wanted to also do a play on the colors, but I wasn't really feeling the pink today, so I went with Fresh Freesia - so soft and pretty!  I put together some base layers using the Scalloped Contours dies; then stamped all my tea pieces on White.  I took my time die-cutting everything, a few fussy bits to keep track of, lol.  I then settled on this layout, and finished with a few brand new Fresh Freesia Opal Rounds - LOVE these in the In Colors!  I think this came out pretty enough to sip!
Cup of Tea & Daffodil Daydream Stamp Sets; Basic White, Pear Pizzazz & Fresh Freesia CS; Fresh Freesia, Pear Pizzazz & Daffodil Delight Inks; Fresh Freesia Blends Marker; Scalloped Contour Tasteful Labels & Teacup Dies; Fresh Freesia Opal Rounds; White Baker's Twine; #CIC543.

Mango Mother's Day

There's a Mother's Day theme over at SU Only #199 this week - good timing!  Retro Rubber #86's flower challenge will be perfect with it, too!  At the last second, I've decided to throw in Case This Sketch #271 to help me along, too!
So, my new catty pre-order has now arrived, and for me the largest feature of this is this big stack of NEW colors I'll be rotating in to my line-up very soon.  I couldn't resist using two of them in my "retro" endeavors today, though, my new faves Mango Melody & Soft Sea Foam, which I also have some new DSP for - yes!  I figure this bright card suits the desert here perfectly - Mom has cacti blooming in just these colors at her house right now!  I also had to slip in something from our new Itty Bitty Greetings, too - love the mix of fonts and both new and fave sentiments - a new must-have, sigh.  Like you need my encouragement, right?
Flower Patch (retired-2014) & Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Sets; Tranquil Textures DSP; Whisper White, Old Olive & Mango Melody CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Soft Sea Foam, Old Olive & Mango Melody Inks; Flower Fair Framelits (retired); Large Oval Punch (retired); Faceted Dots in Soft Sea Foam; #SUO199; #RR86; #CTS271.

Moroccan Mother's Day!

Uh oh, it's that time again!  It must be almost here, because we have a Mother's Day Challenge from TGIF #52!  I'm combining it with the sophisticated color challenge from Can You Case It #117!
As soon as I saw this color challenge, I have to admit, I thought, "OK!  Here's your chance to test drive that new In Color that you secretly don't like very much!"  Yes, it's true!  Peekaboo Peach is a catchy name and all, but the color is not thrilling me, lol.  BUT, I do figure, as always, as soon as I see it in action, I get over it, right?  And of course it turned out to be totally true for Peekaboo Peach!  I totally love the stamped color WAY better than it looks on the box - go figure!

Sneak Peekin' with the Pumpkin

Back again at My Pumpkin Challenge #0515 - Let's Hear It For The Bows!  Yeah!
OK, so I think I've been a very good little demo lately.  I have been reminding you almost daily of all the retiring awesomeness that might get away from you if don't act fast, in a fun, gotta-have-it-now kind of way.  Don't you think?  No pressure or anything, even.
Well, folks, not today!  I have succumbed.  My sneak peek pre-order from our new 2015-16 catalog is IN THE HOUSE!!  So, you know, we have to trot that out.  Very quietly.  In just a tiny way.  Hee hee.  So I did another little pocket card showing off just a few things, like our new In Colors (so yummy!), a new DSP stack (now in 6" x 6"!); a stamp set (not EVEN the best sentiment in this set!) and finally, our new In Color Dotted Lace Trim (so soft!) 
I honestly think I haven't been this excited about a new catalog in a while - not that I'm not always excited, lol, but SO MUCH in this catty spoke to me - I know it will to you, too.
And the only other thing I can say is CHRISTMAS IS BACK!!!  Praise the Lord and pass the ink!
Love You A Lot Paper Pumpkin; plus, Friendly Wishes Stamp Set; Cherry on Top DSP Stack; Whisper White & Watermelon Wonder CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon & Mint Macaron Inks; Dotted Lace Trim in Watermelon Wonder.

Oh, stampers, it's that most wonderful time of the year again - the time when we get ready for the release of the 2015-16 Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog!  Eeeeee!
I am thrilled to announce our next class which will feature all new items from the upcoming catty, and our new set of In Colors, too.  I'll also have your new catalogs here for you, so you can get ready for the beautiful awesomeness coming our way starting June 3!  Oh my gosh, you are going to love these projects and colors!
Class is announced for Thursday, May 14, 630 PM, chez Heroldt, or Saturday, May 16, 3 PM, also chez Heroldt.  Class will be $20, and will include projects, snacks and your new catty to take home with you!  RSVP now to make sure I have your materials ready and waiting!

Time for another Fab Friday #63 color challenge!  This time, we're saying a fond farewell to our out-going set of In Colors - can't wait to see our new ones!  This also seems like a great challenge for combining with Can You Case It #67's Mother's Day challenge, too!
So, in the years I've been a Stampin' Up! demo, I've tried hard to cultivate a philosophical attitude about this time of year - the dreaded retirement list!  My first couple were HORRIBLE.  Total nutty.  I had serious co-dependency issues with ALL of my stamps in those days.  Now, I've gotten better, though I do have an occasional "they'll pry this one out of my cold dead hands" moment (Best of Cluck, anyone??) but I've learned that new awesomeness is just around the corner in our new catalog.  Eee!  Exciting!
This year, my biggest pang was over the demise of all our Spanish language stamps, like Deseos pequenitos, here, the Spanish version of Teeny Tiny Wishes.  I live in Arizona!  I USE these stamps!  I'm giving a little sob while I type this - and they'll pry this one out of my mumble mumble mumble...  Sigh.
Mixed Bunch & Deseos pequenitos Stamp Sets; Baked Brown Sugar, Pistachio Pudding & Whisper White CS; Baked Brown Sugar, Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe & Coastal Cabana {SOB} Inks; Corner Rounder, Modern Label {SOB}, Word Window (retired already, sigh), 3/4" & 7/8" Circles & Blossom Punches; Flower Fair Framelits; Lovely Lace Embossing Folder; Pistachio Pudding Heavy Baker's Twine; Basic Jewel Rhinestones.

Sew Motherly!

We're back again on Pumpkin Day with My Pumpkin Challenge #0415 - Sew Pretty, Sew Simple! Let's see what we can do with adding in this week's sketch from In{k}spire Me #194, too!
I had "sew" much fun last week making a Christmas card, I decided to try hitting another event.  This week it's Mother's Day, with a little help from the Crazy About You stamp set.  I truly believe that set is the perfect partner with this month's Paper Pumpkin!
I decided to go with some of my fave colors together, and then found a perle cotton from my stash to match.  (For those interested, this is UKI's 5/2 Melon #107!  I always seem to gravitate to the "food" colors, lol.)  I doubled it to make the stitching pretty robust, and broke out the rest of the sentiment onto banners to match the sketch.  I added a bit more depth to my flower by alternating full and stamped-off layers - snippy-snippy today!
Tip:  Check out the masking on the envelope - SO much easier when we have a punch, lol!
Paper Pumpkin - Sew You; plus, Crazy About You Stamp Set; Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz & Whisper White CS; Calypso Coral & Pear Pizzazz Inks; 5/2 Perle Cotton in Melon; Flower Medallion, Banner & Corner Rounder Punches; Basic Jewel Jumbo Pearls (retired.)

April 21-June 2, 2015 (or while supplies last)
We're saying goodbye to retiring products from the 2014-2015 annual catalog, but before we do, we're giving everyone an opportunity to order their favorites with discounts up to 50 percent off retail. Retiring products will only be available until June 2, or while supplies last, so now's a great time to get them before they're gone! We're also including the My Digital Studio list, with all products discounted 30 percent off retail. 
*Note: Due to high demand for retiring stamps, we'll keep producing retiring stamps until May 26 (not accessories-accessories are only while supplies last).

Well, good thing In{k}spire Me #144 was here to remind me it's never too early to work on my Mother's Day cards (sorry, Dads!)  Then I saw the yummy color challenge from Fab Friday #40, and I knew I wanted to pull that in, too...
One of the retiring sets I know I'll miss is Delicate Doilies.  This is one that I "forget" I have sometimes, and then I get reminded how versatile it is and kick myself for a while, lol.  Serves me right not using it more!  In this case, I had a blast making my own "DSP" for the background panel - LOVE this color combo!  Thank goodness we get to keep Teeny Tiny Wishes!
Chalk Talk, Delicate Doilies & Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Sets; Crisp Cantaloupe, Early Espresso, Smoky Slate & Whisper White CS; Early Espresso, Summer Starfruit, Crisp Cantaloupe & Smoky Slate Inks; Wide Oval, Word Window & Modern Label Punches; Satin Stitched Ribbon in Summer Starfruit; Stretch Ruffle Trim in Crisp Cantaloupe; Basic Jewel Pearls.
