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!

So excited to show you the rest of this great DSP paper in the coming weeks but so sad to see these items that are leaving go away!

Now it’s your turn to go and create some art work of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
Natalie

P.S. The Full of Life Suite and DSP will not be available and therefore will not be shown in the ordering icon images below until May 1st!

patchwork pieces die set

There are lots of hidden gems in the new catalog – so much great new stuff that some of it is easy to overlook. I am constantly scouring the catalogs for new ideas and overlooked products and this die set can be one of those items! I noticed it on my first go around but many have commented on the fact that they overlooked it so i decided to highlight this product in my blog post today!
Patchwork Pieces (#161592) can be located on page 165 of the new Annual May 2023- April 2024 catalog! A die set of two 3 3/16″ x 4 11/16″ background dies – these cute dies can create background possibilities that are seemingly endless. Combine them with cardstock or DSP or both and watch the ideas flow!
For the first two cards I used the Bright and Beautiful 6″ x 6″ DSP (#161449) and two colors of cardstock – Azure Afternoon (#161719) and Lemon Lime Twist (#144245).

I cut one die image from each color and cut a few Basic White pieces of cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 5″ to glue the patchwork pieces onto.
I alternated three sets of background images and came up with three different backgrounds.

I mounted them onto Basic White Cardstock and cut the white cardstock to an even border.

I stamped the thank you sentiment from the Something Fancy stamp set and die cut with the smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes die set. Then I die cut the next circle up for a mat out of a scrap piece of Azure Afternoon cardstock. I mounted the sentiment piece to the Azure Afternoon circle die cut.
I cut a 4 1/2″ x 11″ of Azure Afternoon cardstock scored it at 5 1/2″, folded in half for the card base.

I adhered the patchwork background to the card base on an angle, placed Stampin’ Dimensionals onto the Circle die and mounted the sentiment to the patchwork background center.

I colored Basic Rhinestone gems with the Dark Azure Afternoon Stampin’ Blends marker.

I added the colored Rhinestones to the card front.

For the second example I adhered the patchwork pieces background onto the Lemon Lime Twist cardstock.

I die cut the smallest square from the Stylish Shapes die set with Basic White card stock and stamped the Oh Happy Day sentiment from the Playing in the Rain stamp set. I adhered this square to the next die square up cut out of Lemon Lime Twist card stock and popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and mounted it to the patchwork pieces center on a diagonal. I added three Iridescent Rhinestones to the card front.

I mounted this patchwork piece to another Azure Afternoon card stock base.

I love how bright and easy these backgrounds were to create!

The second die in the set cuts a curvy pattern across the page and I created a Berry Burst card to showcase this die.
I cut a striped Berry burst piece of Bright and Beautiful DSP with this Patchwork Piece die and adhered it to a Basic White piece of Cardstock. Cut an even border and mounted it to a Berry Burst cardstock base, added a sentiment inked in Berry Burst and die cut from the backside of the same DSP and added a Berry Burst die from the Artistic Die set.
