CCM Saturday Hop - Yellow Submarine

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is shades of yellow, and I do love a cheerful, sunny-looking card. Since I don't have a submarine stamp *grin* I went with (what else) flowers! This gave me the perfect opening to use some new preorder items from the 2021-22 Stampin' Up! annual catalog, and that catty is something to look forward to, let me tell ya!

Today's project uses the Color & Contour bundle, consisting of the thirteen piece photopolymer stamp set and 8 piece Scalloped Contours Dies. Oh, my heart, they are so beautiful! There are pierced, stitched, dotted, and embossed scallops which are going to make lovely layers. I used the dotted scalloped border on some Pansy Petals DSP and glued it to the Basic White card base, then stamped the leaf flourish in black.

The flower outlines and the spatters were stamped in Bumblebee and the flower fillers in Mango Melody. The coordinating die cut the blossoms out and they were then adhered over some loops of Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon. All that was left was to stamp the greeting and add some gold Metallic Pearls to the centers of the flowers. I really like this card and think I'll do some more in different colors with different greetings.

That's my share for today. Now click the Next button to jump to Libby Fens at Libby Stamps, or the Back button to see what Mary Brown at Stamper Camper's Corner has made!

Color & Contour Sneak Peek!

So.... have you heard the new Stampin' Up! 2021-2022 annual catalog is coming soon? If not, do you live under a rock?

  

Because almost everyone I know in the stamping world is talking about it and, if they were lucky enough to do a demo preorder, sharing samples made with the fabulous goodies! And that's what I plan to do right now.

First of all, may I just say how much I LOVE all the new In Colors this year?! I've made up little samplers to go out with the new catalogs so everyone can see for themselves how lovely the colors are. (BTW, if you aren't already a demo and don't have a demo you usually order from, and would like a catalog, contact me.)

You know how I love layers, and you know I also love dies, so the Color & Contour bundle was made just for me by Stampin' Up! (Not really, but they sure do seem to "get" me!)

Look at those lovely dies - they have pierced, dotted, stitched, and embossed ones! So naturally I had to pair them with two new In Colors, Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen, along with a pop of Bumblebee (from the Pansy Petals DSP).

And look at that adorable little bee embellishment! Isn't it the bee's knees? So I guess there are five sneak peek here: Two new In Colors, the Pansy Petals DSP, the bee embellishment, the Scalloped Contours Dies, and the Color & Contour stamp set.

Check back tomorrow for another card using this bundle on the Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop!
