"Anything With Wings" - June 2019 Stampin' Pretty Pals Blog Hop

Good Morning Fellow Stampers ~

We've arrived at the 2nd Wednesday of June ~~ and that can mean only one thing!  It's time for the Stampin' Pretty Pals monthly blog hop!  And since yesterday was my birthday . . .  it seems like a good time to celebrate ~ with "wings"!!

 

You may be just starting the hop here or you may have come from the wonderful Debbie Mageed at Secrets to Stamping.  Either way, you’ve come to the right place.  When you're done perusing today's project, you’ll find the the full line-up below to help you move or “hop” along your way from Pal-to-Pal.

Well, I think Peacocks have wings -- LOL  ;-)  The ones at my zoo just strut around; but I think that's because their wings are clipped so they don't fly away!

I have been so over the moon excited about the new Noble Peacock Suite in the new 2019-2010 Annual Catalog.  Go take it all in on pages, 24, 25 and 26.  You're gonna adore the new foils, specialty designer paper which is all foil, the new Rhinestones (featured on this card design), and, of course, the stamp set and coordinated dies!

 

This card base was cut from Pretty Peacock cardstock, 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2".

Then I used the largest of the new Stitched Nested Labels Dies to cut the center out of the front of the card;

and then backed it with one of the gorgeous foil papers from the Noble Peacock Specialty DSP.

Mr. Royal Peacock was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink, overlaid with Blueberry Bushel ink - and then colored in with the Light Old Olive stampin' Blend.

 

When I say overlaid - it's because this is a 2-step stamp set.  So you stamp the main peacock image in one color; and then add detail to the tail section with a second image and another ink color.

Mr. Peacock was fussy cut; and then I used one of the framelits from the die set, cut a coordinating peacock from the Blueberry Bushel foil, and offset for a nice layered look to my peacock.  The entire piece is popped with dimensionals.

I then had more fun than the law really should allow with the Noble Peacock Rhinestones to highlight each of the pretty tail feathers.

This card glistens with beautiful color!

The inside of the card is stamped with more wonderful images and sentiments from the stamp set.

You are going to just LOVE this suite -- I can assure you!!

Rush to my Online Shop and snap it up today!!  I just Know it's at the top of your Wish List -- LOL

Fabulous Friday Fun! ~~ Cat & Dog in Silhouette

Hello Fabulous Fellow Stampers ~

Another crazy week behind us!!  A crazy day ahead!!  It's our "Off-Friday"; but I've got a full schedule for us with a trip down to Colorado Springs to meet with our florist and the planner at our wedding venue to start working details and vision for the wedding --- that I just realized is ONLY 4 Months Away!!!  Eeeeeeeeeek!!!  So unbelievable!!

 

But before we head off into what I hope will be a little bit quieter weekend, I wanted to share a couple of "fun Friday" cards with you.

 

 

I was so excited earlier this year when I saw a brand new stamp set for our Cat Punch; AND a new stamp set and punch for "the Dogs"!!!!  Whooo hooooo -- because of course, here at DDS Studios, it is ALL about the Dawgs!!!  LOL

These two cards incorporate some of the sentiments from the two new sets; but uses the punches "in silhouette" for a fun dramatic look!

 

The design is similar for both cards -

The black matting helps bring that "dramatic" look seamlessly across the entire design.

The background Whisper White piece has been embossed with the Subtle textured impressions embossing folder.

And then a "snippet" of the Gingham Gala DSP, brings some "country chic" flair.

The background layers are wrapped with a piece of Calypso Coral 3/8" Satin Ribbon, and when the design is complete, you add that pretty satin bow.

The center squares of each card feature a special sentiment in the coordinating ink color.

What I love about both of these stamp sets is they are "2-step" sets, which means you stamp a detail stamp, and fill in the color with a solid coordinating stamp.

Here we did the yarn ball in Smoky Slate, and the overlay color in the Grapefruit Grove which is the card base color and the gingham paper color.

You'll notice the sweet little hearts stamped "off" in the background also in Smoky Slate.

 

All the central pieces on these two cards are popped with dimensionals to give the card great dimension.

And both of them are finished off with some wonderful embellishments!

I have to tell you - I am going to miss Lemon Lime Twist soooooooooooooooooo much!!!  This is the DDS Studio signature color -- so we'll probably have to tuck this one away in the "keep box" for awhile!

 

The adorable heart on both cards can be found in the Dog Builder Punch - so many uses for this sweet punch!!

 

When I taught these two cards at my class in early May, I shared with the gals that these DSP pieces were cut using the "One Sheet Wonder" concept.  You can go on Pinterest and search for "One Sheet Wonder" and find all kinds of ideas for both 12" x 12" designer paper, and 6" x 6" - which is what Gingham Gala is.  I particularly like this "One Sheet Wonder" idea for 6" x 6" sheets right now:

You can download a "pdf" version of this template for your use HERE.

 

Well -- we're off to much business!!  I hope everyone has a crafty and creative weekend -- and more fun than me!!!  LOL 

 

Hugs, . . .

 

 

 

Wednesday Spotlight - Brand New In Color Collection is Coming!!!

Hello Fellow Stampers ~

 

How is everyone this wonderful hump day??  It's quite "summerlike" this week here in Colorado; and the afternoon storm clouds are gathering --  you'd think it was June already!!  But I love this time of year, so it's all good!!

 

I'm taking a little bit of a break of sorting, purging and packing.  I've decided I'm tired -- LOL :-)

So let's take a little time this week and take a sneak peak at the Brand New 2019-2021 In Color Collection coming in the new 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.  Now that this set of colors is lined up in my beautiful Stamp-n-Storage unit, I am falling more and more in love with it every day!!!

2019-2021 IN COLOR COLLECTION

Purple Posy

Rococo Rose

Terracotta Tile

Seaside Spray

Pretty Peacock

Coming June 4, 2019, to a SU! Catalog Near You!!!

 

You are ALL gonna absolutely LOVE this new color collection.  The colors are "vintagy", dusky, soft and fit so well with the rest of our color collections.  And if you were going to miss Tranquil Tide (like I will), the new Pretty Peacock is going to be a pretty spectacular replacement.

 

Let's take a little closer look at each color and how it fits into the rest of our collections.

Meet Purple Posey! 

Interestingly in this picture the color has "washed out" a little -- it is actually much more lavender purple than it shows here.  But it is indeed pale and soft -- and goes perfectly with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape -- in other words . . .  it completes this color family from light to dark perfectly!!!  You'll want to see this in person for sure!!

 

Introducing Seaside Spray !

Again -- the picture doesn't do the comparison justice!

This gorgeous soft blue looks amazing against Blueberry Bushel !

You'll love it with Night of Navy as well -- what wonderful collection these 3 blues make!!

 

Say Hellooooo to Rococo Rose !!

Oooooo Laaa Laaaa --

This pretty dusky rose color looks absolutely AMAZING with Merry Merlot -- like they were meant to be together!!

On the light end of the spectrum, it's not too bad against Blushing Bride either (camera has washed out the lighter color again!!  Sorry!)

 

Time to add a little Southwest Enchantment with Terracotta Tile !!

I am over the moon for this new In Color!

And look at this comparison . . .

Terracotta Tile is the perfect blend to Cajun Craze (please excuse my misprint in the picture - I was distracted when writing -- LOL)

And works well with Poppy Parade.  Interestingly, Calypso Coral is a close "sister" to this new In Color!!

Take a bow to the noble and beautiful Pretty Peacock !!

Oh My!!  My New "Tranquil Tide" for this coming season -- and absolutely GORGEOUS!!

And the blend of Pool Party to Pretty Peacock is amazing!!

This beautiful new In Color fits right into this collection of colors and will make the perfect dusky accent to all your projects!!

I can hardly wait for all of YOU to have the opportunity to try out the new 2019-2021 In Color Collection - June 4th cannot get here fast enough!!!

 

BUT, before we reach the new, . . . we have to say a fond farewell to the old!!

DON’T MISS OUT ON YOUR RETIRING FAVORITES!    Get the list of Stampin’ Up! retiring products and important product announcements here.  Retiring products are available through June 3 or while supplies last!
