I have been playing with my PLAYING IN THE RAIN stamp set along with the RAIN OR SHINE designer paper.
I am super happy to tell you that the PLAYING IN THE RAIN stamp set and dies are carried over to the new Annual Catalog! However, and here'd the catch - if you want to take advantage of the 10% bundle price you will want to grab those NOW! Before the end of April. ALSO...the RAIN OR SHINE designer paper IS on the LAST CHANCE LIST. If you love this coordinating paper, grab it NOW!
You can view my previous post of PLAYING IN THE RAIN HERE
This first card was inspired by Mary Brown, I changed up the sentiment and used a past Paper Pumpkin stamp. Don't forget to utilize these great stamps as you accumulate them.
Just a heads up that the designer papers IS on the LAST CHANCE LIST, and they typically go pretty fast. Some will have a discount so those especially will go fast. Check out the LAST CHANCE LIST links below.
The LOOSE DAISIES are so sweet and add just the perfect touch. The panels are 1", 2" and 1"
I absolutely love this next card that was inspired by Tina Wardell
The little butterfly comes from EASTER BUNNY, and the "sending"
comes from EDEN'S GARDEN, you just need to mask off the word "hugs" when stamping.
The ALPHABET ALA MODE DIES are one of my favorite! the letters are stacked 3 high and colored with the Tahitian Tide Stampin' Blends, dark on the top and light on the bottom.
I can't wait to use this baby shower card for a special baby shower in May
inspired by Karen Titus on Pinterest.
No instructions, I had to come up with the dimensions on my own
so not sure if I did it justice or not.
I thought the corner was a little empty so I added one of the flower pieces
that I fussy cut out from the designer paper.
For the front "hello" I used CONVERSATION BUBBLES,
and for the inside I used the FRAMED OCCASIONS again
Both Conversation Bubbles and Framed Occasions are on the LAST CHANCE LIST
Inspired by one I saw on Pinterest - no blog link, and I know that St Patrick's Day is over, but I just couldn't resist such a cute card. I will save these for next year.
Which one do you like best?
The one with the stripes or the one with the polka dots?
The sentiment comes from SIMPLY FABULOUS (on the last chance list)
I used the Brights 6x6 paper stack and the vertical rainbow is cut from
SUNSHINE & RAINBOWS (retired)
a previous SAB designer paper and the STITCHED RECTANGLES DIES
I love the "BONUS" dies the come with the PLAYING IN THE RAIN,
like the bridge and the grasses
Here I go again making a holiday card for a holiday that has passed,
but I will hold on to this one for next year. Inspired by Cindy B
DANDY DESIGNS Designer Paper from SAB, Scalloped Edge from
HAND PENNED (on the last chance list)
heart punch (retired, just use whatever heart punch or die you have on hand)
Sentiment from MEANT TO BE (retired)
The stump is three layers thick with Crumb Cake, sponged with Soft Suede
(Soft Suede color is on the last chance list)
Petal Pink Soft Polyester Ribbon (on the last chance list)
What does the fox say?
original designer: Heather Klump (no blog)
Again I used the DANDY DESIGNS Designer Paper that was free during SAB
Other product: TAILOR MADE TAGS DIES,
POOL PARTY SHEER RIBBON- (on the last chance list), WHITE TWINE, GEMS
Inspired by Chris Lang (no blog) I get a lot of inspiration from Pinterest.
This next card was inspired by one I saw on Pinterest. (no name, no blog)
I also used the RAINDROPS 3D Embossing folder and the DOUBLE OVAL PUNCH
I stamped and cut out the umbrella on Balmy Blue cardstock - the one that is attached to the fox stamp in the PLAYING IN THE RAIN stamp set, and cut it out, then I used the light Balmy Blue Stampin' Blend to make it darker. For the handle I just created one with my Sharpie Marker and hand cut it out.
One last card with PLAYING IN THE RAIN - for now, because it is carried over to the Annual Catalog
I saw a card like this on Pinterest by Karen at Stampinghabit.com, but she has no link to her exact card.
I changed it up by using the DECKLED RECTANGLES DIES, Hand creating the odd shaped hearts and printing the sentiment on my computer. I added a bunch of rhinestones (the original had some sort of bright gem). I had enough designer paper left to make 2 of these cards, and I can't wait to send them out next year

A fun Shaker card using Bonanza Buddies Stamp Set. What little kid wouldn't love to get a fun interactive card like this.
Pretty color choices using the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set
Under My Umbrella is the stamp set Anna used for this card
Just a note - perfect! I love the Music From the Heart stamp set and was sad when it didn't carry over to the Annual Catalog
Taco 'bout AWESOME! Super fun card using Witty-cisms Stamp Set that was in the January-June Catalog. Anna added some Fine Tip Glue Pen glue to the taco shells so that they have a gloss.
Field of Flowers is the stamp set that Anna used for this off-set card - very nice!
Anna also took charge of our Make & Take for this meeting and we made these cute Post-It Note holders. She decided to theme it around the "Share Sunshine" theme that the June Paper Pumpkin was all about. The stamp set is Painted Poppies with the colors being Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry.
She even purchased the Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes and coordinated it to match the Post-It Note Holder. She tucked the Post-It in the box and added some yellow themed candies and treats and it will be a perfect gift to give someone to brighten their day. Great job, Anna!

Here is the list to my quick links to contact me or to shop with me
I challenged myself to make a card a day using a stamp set that I have not used before for the team weekly challenge.
Yesterday you saw me using the SWIRLY FRAMES Stamp Set.
The next card that I shared with them is called SO INVITING
Every summer we host a neighborhood picnic so I decided to use this set for the invites
I teamed it up with the OUTDOOR BARBECUE Stamp Set - both of these sets are on the RETIRING LIST so get them now before it is too late
The next card that I shared uses the BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS Stamp Set and the card was inspired by Teri a demonstrator in the UK
The BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS Stamp Set s carrying over to the new Annual Catalog but the BEST DRESSED Designer Paper is on the Retiring List. The Happy Birthday stamp used is called LABEL ME BOLD and this set is also on the Retiring List. - I cannot stress enough to get these products before it it too late.
Next up I used a Stamp Set called MY MEADOW. I have had this set ever since it was given to us at the OnStage event in November, and for some reason I just never took the time to pull it out. It is returning in the annual catalog so I still have time to use it in my classes.
There are a lot of little pieces so this would probably be a good set for an avid stamper
Now I have to give a disclaimer on this set because I did borrow this set from my friend for a couple cards, but when I knew it did not retire, I thought that I should purchase my own set.
This card turned out so beautiful and was inspired by Brandi Randall on Pinterest (no blog link)
The next stamp set is UNDER MY UMBRELLA - again I need to give you a disclaimer that I have used this stamp set BUT once again I borrowed it from a friend, and when I found that it was going to be in the new Annual Catalog I thought I should purchase my own set.
If you buy it NOW - you can buy the BUNDLE with the UMBRELLA BUILDER PUNCH for a 10% discount.
This will make a wonderful bridal shower card
The last card and stamp set unused is WIGGLE WORMS
This set and dies can be purchased right now for a 10% discount, but they are on the
retiring list so get them now before it is too late
I'm expecting that this set will come in handy for some cute
scrapbook pages as well as some darling kids cards.
On this last card I used the butterflies from BEAUTY ABOUNDS.
The other Stamp Sets used are BORN TO SHINE and VERY VERSAILLES.
BORN TO SHINE is on the retiring list (the dancer is an outline image so I just
filled it in with the Basic Black Dark Stampin' Blend to make it a silhouette.
I was inspired by my recipe club friend, Rita Schwann, and I made this for Ava, Josh's
14 year old daughter, for him to give her for her birthday.
Disclaimer: I have used Very Versailles many times as well as Born to Shine,
but Beauty Abounds is new to me and I hadn't cracked the lid yet, and used it.
I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since February 2008 and I LOVE IT! I have been married to Dale, the little boy I fell in love with when we were only 5 years old, for 45 years now. Our three adult children and our married-in children and our 7 wonderful grandchildren are our joy and delight. I am so thankful that they all support me in my Stampin' Up! business.
