west coast. I would like to share some of my favorites from sets that are retiring over the next couple of weeks. This post is a couple of samples made with the You Move Me Stamp set.
Here are the details for this Beautiful Birthday card:
the Card base is Basic Black cardstock cut to 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″. The second layer is a piece of Gold Foil cut to 5 1/4″ x 4″. The third layer is a piece of Whisper white cardstock cut to 3 3/4″ x 5″. The pattern on the bottom of the white cardstock is made using the Black Washi Tape. I love the way you can use a little tape to look like Designer paper!
The butterfly is cut from a piece of Gold Foil with an overlay cut from Basic Black cardstock.
I love the images in the You Move Me stamp set. The bird, butterfly and flower are 3 part stamps that allow you stamp a detailed and colorful image using multiple colors of ink for the image. The corresponding dies allow you to create an interactive image that appears to flutter using the “grill” piece on the front of a card. A great card that moves.
Here is an example of the You Move Me stamp set and dies used to create an interactive card. This card was designed by one of my downlines, Debby Donovan for a class that she was teaching at one of our Creative Crafters’ Escape Stamping Retreats.
Like these ideas? Don’t miss out! This set is retiring and will be gone after May 31st!

Today I am featuring a set of kids cards that would make a Magical Day birthday party for kids. These cards are stunning and feature a variety of techniques. They feature the Magical Day stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog.
I will be teaching a class making these 5 cards on Friday the 23rd at my Creative Playground in Methuen, Massachusetts. Not in MA – I am also assembling instructions and will have the PDF available for sale soon.
Today I am sharing another card made with the Painted with Love Designer paper from Stampin’ Up! that was designed by my very talented downline friend Margaret. 
In this class you will learn how to make a shaker card and 2 different types of cards that Move! 
You will make 4 gorgeous cards with this new set and framelits… Perfect for Baptism, Confirmation or Sympathy cards!
So what is the Stamping New England Design team? We are 4 very creative Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators that have very different styles. So each month we each make 3 projects using the same Stampin’ Up! Stamp set and Stampin’ Up! Designer Series paper. I love to see the 12 very different projects that we make each month.
d made with the Stampin’ Up! stamp set You’ve Got this that was inspired by this week’s Global Design Project team. This week’s challenge is a color challenge using the new Stampin’ up! In-color Sweet Sugarplum, with Whisper White and Night of Navy. What a great combination of colors!
boss the image which allows me to use a little more water with the ink to soften and shade the flower. I used Pear Pizazz ink to color the stem and leaves of the flower. The center of the flower is colored with Crushed Curry and highlighted with the Gold Wink of Stella pen. The flower is layered onto a piece of Night of Navy cardstock. 
e Decorative Label Punch. I used a sponge to add a little ink to the edge of the sentiment and layered it onto a piece punched from Night of Navy with the Decorative Label punch.
Today I am sharing a Falling Flowers card that I made for the Global-Design-Project Challenge. This card uses the Falling Flowers stamp set with the coordinating framelits May Flowers. Make sure to order the bundle!
the framelits. And there is a beautiful background swirl! Always great for making a background!
with the new Affectionately Yours Designer paper.
ay I have a card that I made using the Stampin’ Up! Flower Patch stamp set and a couple of the new in-colors that will be available on June 1!
f furniture. My furniture has stayed at my other house for now until I have a signed purchase and sale. But my new Creative Playground is almost all setup. There are still a few things that I haven’t been able to find and I still need to do some organization. But I did visit ReStore which is a store that sells used items to raise money for Habitat for Humanity….. and I found some padded chairs from a conference room that had been turned in. So I now have a few new chairs. There were only six – so make sure you are on time to class if you want a comfy chair!!
As you can see this set is really versatile and can be used several different ways. The top right card is made with Blushing Bride, Basic Gray and White Shimmer paper. The Rose is cut out using the framelits. The rose is painted using Blushing Bride and Pear Pizazz inks with an aqua painter. I love the watercolor effect!
I am so excited to be at OnStage in Salt Lake City for the release of the new Stampin’ Up! catalog for the 2016 to 2017 year!! All I have to say is OMG! I love love love so many of the new products that are coming out! I will be placing my pre-order and able to share some of these great new products with you over the next few weeks! One of the pesky issues with the Big Shot has been fixed! Stay tuned!
One of my favorite stamp sets in the current Stampin’ Up! catalog is the Sprinkles of Life Stamp set. Each year Stampin’ Up! designates one stamp set to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities. This year’s set is Sprinkles of Life which means that this set will be retiring in June for a new set to be designated for the RMHC.
Today I have a Botanical card that is inspired by this week’s Global Design Challenge which is a color challenge. I happen to love the combination of Yellow and Gray. So I went through my stash of Stampin’ Up! Designer papers to see which 
patterns had Daffodil Delight. I found this Watercolor Wonder Designer paper from Spring a few year’s ago.
The flowers are cut from Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral cardstock. The Daffodil flower has been sponged with Calypso Coral Ink to add a little depth to the flower. I cut a flower center from Dazzling Details Glimmer paper and sponged that with a little calypso coral ink as well. The I added a Rhinestone Jewel to the center of the flower for that little extra bling!
Earlier this week I posted a card that I had made with the Botanical Blooms stamp set and matching framelits using this week’s Mojo Monday sketch. Well I loved the card so much, I was thinking that I would make the same card but just change up the colors and Designer paper. Of course, life always gets in the way and I didn’t have time to work on the card until today. So here it is – my 2nd card using this week’s Mojo Monday sketch.
My card from today uses the Botanical Gardens Designer paper. Here are the details for this card:
