patchwork pieces dies with upcoming sneak peak

While OnStage Houston is over I am still sharing all of the incredible experiences, swaps, swag, and information we received while we were there!

Below is a picture of all the stuff I came home with plus about three times as many swap cards as are in the photo!!

We all got a fabulous backpack and thank goodness or I would not have made it back home! That Peach Pie colored zipper tote is perfect for all the little essentials I need to tote to my classes! We got a new kit with honeycomb embellishments called Hooray for Honeycomb be looking for that to be released with the upcoming catalog! We received a copy of the new catalog before anyone else that was super exciting! We got a paper pumpkin stamp set or grid paper our choice, a new background stamp set and they gave away 6 different upcoming DSP packages in the Prize Patrol.

As we looked at the catalog, my new downline and dear old friend Barb fell in love with the Mediterrean Blooms DSP and I fell in love with the Full of Life suite! I told her that we were going to win those two and on the last day our numbers were called I won the Mediterrean Blooms and gifted it to her and she won the Full of Life and gifted it to me! You should have heard us you would have thought we won the lottery for a million dollars we laughed so hard that we had manifested those two packets!!

Today’s card for this blog post is a little old a little new! I am using the Patchwork pieces – which received my most views ever on Pinterest! See my May 31st 2023 for the cards that currently has over 400 pin clicks and 6500 views!! Thank you to all those that follow me on Pinterest! This fabulous die set will be retiring with the current catalog so if you love this I would recommend ordering it (#161592) using my current hostess code EGCF9KYB – these and all the Last Chance list items are only while supplies last. You can find the Last Chance list and order on my Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator site at https://nataliestamps.stampinup.net

Measurements:
BASE: Berry Burst/Melon Mambo 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Coastal Cabana layer: 3 1/2″ x 5″
scrap for Everyday Details die (this is retiring!)
Basic White layer: 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″
DSP: 6×6 sheets to die cut

Add Stampin’ Seal directly to the Basic White layer (this will help you keep the DSP straight or adhere directly to the Coastal Cabana layer.

I die cut the patchwork pieces die twice and alternated the pieces with back and front of the same Designer Series Paper.

I made two versions using the left overs from the first card!

I stamped the sentiment in Tuxedo Black memento ink onto a Coastal Cabana Everyday Details circle die. The sentiment is from the In the Moment stamp set (#157987) this is retiring. The Everyday Details dies are also on the Last Chance list (#162864) which I am VERY SAD about!!

Adhere the Coastal Cabana layer to the card base and pop up the sentiment die onto Stampin’ Dimensionals and add to the middle of the patchwork piece die.

Add Iridescent Pearls to the card front to finish off with some stunning embellishments – these are my favorite so versatile. Go with everything and you can even color them to make them coordinate!
