 Yum! What a lovely fresh inspiration board we have for you this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #414! I know I should mix it up a bit more, but I couldn't resist pulling out So Refreshing from yesterday again, lol. It gives me the chance to show off these so-dang-cute strawberry dies! So much fun, I did it all up in Sweet Sorbet - stamped off for the pitcher and glasses, and let the ice and strawberries fly! I also chose this sentiment, to match with a Mother's Day wish inside - perfect for my sweet MIL when we went to lunch for her special Mom celebration! Yay! I can't wait to see YOUR fresh projects for this one - meet you at the challenge! So Refreshing & Sentimental Rose Paper Pumpkin (inside) Stamp Sets; Sweet Sorbet DSP; Basic White, Pool Party, Sweet Sorbet & Granny Apple Green CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Sweet Sorbet & Pool Party Inks; So Refreshing & Stitched So Sweetly (retired) Dies; Sweet Sorbet Baker's Twine; #HSS414.

 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!

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!

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!

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?

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.   New Catty Sneak Peek Class!
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.
 Pumpkin Club May 2!
Did you get your April Pumpkin kit yet? Bring on the bows!! Check out the video here! I hope you can join us for our next Pumpkin Club, Saturday, May 2, 3 pm, chez Heroldt - RSVP to let me know you are coming! I also have an extra kit for $20 if you'd like to come check out the club, and are not already a subscriber. We pushed back for a week since they seem to be running a teeny bit behind on shipping this month with all the happenings! Club is free for my subscribers, and includes any extra supplies you might need, drinks and snacks! Let's take this Pumpkin out to play! You're going to LOVE our projects! Remember to subscribe here if you haven't already - sign up by May 10 and you can join us in time for next month!  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.)
