Jar of Roses



This is also another of the preview sets from the 2021-22 SU! annual catalog.  It's called Jar of Flowers and it's got the cute little ball-type jar, along with four season bouquets -- fall sunflowers, spring tulips, summer roses and a late-fall posey.  What really is going to bring this set up to the all-time WOWs of Stampin' Up! is the jar punch and the jar shaker domes.  Those will really bring this up the cuteness factor!

All the patterned paper is  from the Flowers for Every Season DSP, and the green is the new In-Color, Just Jade.  The narrow Night of Navy border is from Ornate Borders dies.

Celebrating Sunflowers



Celebrating Sunflowers is one of the preview sets for the soon-to-be-released 2021-22 Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  This is going to be one of the greatest annual catty's SU! has released, no doubt!  The new product is amazing, including new stamp sets, accessories, and TWO new die-cut machines, as well as the new In-Colors:  Bumblebee, Cinnamon Cider, Just Jace, Magenta Madness and Misty Moonlight.

And just to mention, the new 6-way label punch is amazing!  You can cut two different fancy ends for your labels, in three widths -- you can get a custom label and layering without fuss.

Serenity



Continuing on my shabby SU! journey, today I bring you another fabulously gorgeous retired set, Serenity.  I love this image with the woman and child.  Unfortunately, The stamp is the size of a background stamp, so this card is huge -- 9"x 8.25". Although it's on a card base, it's really more of an art piece.

The vines and flowers around the image are from Definitely Decorative Toile Blossoms (retired). They are each watercolored and are very, very fussily cut apart to create the look I wanted.  Most of the vines/blossoms are adhered to the base of the image, but some are adhered under the central image, giving it more of a 3-D look.  Baby pearls complete the flowers' centers.

If anyone is wondering, the watercoloring is done with an Aquapainter, pulling the color directly off the ink pad.  I'm sure that Stampin' Blends would work just as well!
