Today’s card is another sneak peek from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog. I used the Forever Fern Bundle (Forever Fern stamp set and Forever Flourishing Dies,) Forever Gold Laser-cut Specialty Paper, and Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper, along with the Banner Triple Punch. I CASEd this card from a photo I saw in a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator Facebook group, but of course, I forgot to write down the demo’s name, and now I can’t find it. If you know who made the card (almost exactly like this) first, please let me know so I can give them credit for the design. Thanks!

Welcome to the Manly May OSAT Blog Hop! My card features a sneak peek at some of the new products from the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog: the Forever Fern Bundle (Forever Fern stamp set and Forever Flourishing Dies,) Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper, and Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. While it’s really a unisex card, the colors are manly, and leaves are generally more manly than flowers.

Today I’m sharing my swap card for the Candy Hearts April team meeting. The theme was weather. I used the Under My Umbrella bundle (Under My Umbrella stamp set and Umbrella Builder Punch – available at 10% off only for another month!) the Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder, and the Pretty Label Punch along with three different Designer Series Papers: Peaceful Poppies, Bird Ballad, and Birthday Bonanza. I think the Beads & Baubles Embossing Folder looks like big rain drops. And the Pretty Label Punch looks very much like a cloud. The splotchy Pool Party background with vertical lines also adds to the gloomy, rainy feel – it’s from the Peaceful Poppies DSP.
