Parisian Beauty & Parisian Dies (now retired) - Stampin' Up!


I absolutely loved The Parisian Beauty bundle and accessories when it came out...but I never did get around to using it while it was current!  I was hopeful it would carry over, but no such luck.  So here I am, finally cracking it open and making use of it.
I'll list the other products both current and retired:

Magnolia Lane DSP - retired
Forever Blossoms stamp set
Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon
Vellum Card Stock
Ovals Framelits
Good Morning Magnolia for sentiment
Classic Label Punch 
Elegant Faceted Gems

This lovely black and white card was a CASE of a card by Stamp It Up Jamie.  Wonderful card Jamie!  I did substitute several items to suite what I had on hand.

True Love DSP
Very Versailles for vine and sentiment
Gold embossing powder
Champagne Rhinestones
Champagne Foil Sheets
Basic Black Card Stock
Circle Punch - retired

Another CASE by a card by Linda Dalke of Australia.  Lovely, Linda!
A couple of changes, ie: embossing folder, DSP and sentiment. Items used are:

Subtles embossing folder
Forever Blossoms stamp set 
Magnolia Lane DSP - retired
Champagne Foil Sheets
Cherry Cobbler Card Stock/Ink
Petal Pink Card Stock

This CASE was based on a sweet card by Alison Solven, a fellow Canadian. Because I didn't have the paper anymore and couldn't seem to figure out which paper I could use that I owned, I made my own background piece from a retired stamp.

Free as a Bird stamp set - sentiment
Forever Blossoms stamp set
French Script background stamp - retired
Elegant Faceted Gems
Champagne Foil Sheets
Basic Black Card Stock
Petal Pink Card Stock

It's fun using old product with new product to create (or re-create) pretty, fun cards.

Hydrangea Hill DSP and Beauty Abounds stamp set - Stampin' Up! 2021


While I currently am living through a very active polar vortex, it is lovely to have cheery, summery images to distract from the cold.

Hydrangea Hill has a Suite Collection but I only purchased the paper.  I used other fun products to come up with this quick and easy hydrangea card.

Here are the products (both retired and current) that I used for this card.
Hydrangea Hill DSP (Mini Catalogue page 19)

Hydrangea Hill DSP and Medium Daisy Punch - Stampin' Up! 2021


 

A pretty card that is quick and easy to make.  Designer Series Paper and a punched daisy are the focal points for the card.  The sentiment is embossed with white embossing powder.  I cut two of the narrow stitched rectangles to enable it fit the 4" width of the DSP.   The new Blending Brushes were used to to add a touch of colour to the centre of the daisy.  That's a retired embellishment on the centre of the flower.

Here are the supplies I used to create this card:
Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper
Medium Daisy Punch
Stitched Rectangles
Band Together for the sentiment
Misty Moonlight & Whisper White Card Stock
Retired circle punch and embellishment for flower centre.

Isn't this the cutest card?!!  Well, it's not my design; Michelle from Owl Star Stampers created this card and she did an awesome job.  I only changed the sentiment.  And then I decided I would make a co-ordinating bookmark with the extra strip of paper from the 6 X 6 sheet.  I trimmed it down to 2 X 6 and then punched the top with the Fancy Tag Topper Punch from the Annual Catalogue.

Products for this card/bookmark are all from the Annual Catalogue (Page 94-96)
