Summer Iris
Stampin’ Up! Inspiring Iris and Mosaic 3D
The minute I saw this stamp Set I knew I had to have it. Iris have always been one of my favorite flowers. Growing up in Michigan my parents had beds of both yellow and purple heirloom Iris. So anytime I see them it makes me think of home. I decided to try and keep the summer garden theme complete with a cobblestone path background. What do you think?
Step by Step:
- The image is stamped on Very Vanilla card stock using Basic Gray Classic Ink.
- I used Old Olive Classic Ink for the leaves and the sentiment. The flower is stamped in Daffodil Delight and accented using Crushed Curry Classic Ink. I gave the image a damp (not wet) wash with my AquaPainter to bled the colors.
- I cut the image out using the Stitched Rectangles and the sentiment using Stitched Shapes.
- I matted the iris using the same size Stitched Rectangle offset in Crushed Curry card stock.
- Next I cut a 3 3/4” x 5” rectangle of So Saffron card stock and ran it through my big shot using the new Mosaic 3D Embossing Folder. It’s matted on a 4” x 5 1/4” piece of Crushed Curry card stock.
- I popped up the iris and the sentiment using Dimensionals. Simple!
Doesnt it look like the card is washed in sunshine?

Come Sail Away Product Suite
Paper Pumpkin and Come Sail Away
Today I’m featuring the Come Sail Away Suite of products. Stampin’ UP! has three ways to purchase some products. Of course you can purchase them on their own. Sometimes only the stamp set appeals to me, and my head is filled with all kinds of project ideas. However I usually purchase the bundle. This includes the stamp set and an Embossing Folder or Framelits. If you’re looking to save money you’ll save 10% buying these item in a bundle. And then there’s a Suite of products that can include ribbon, embellishments, and Designer Series Paper. When I see all of the product line and know I’ll use all of them, it’s the suite of products I head for. In the past our catalogs featured Suites as a collection of products, but the only way to purchase them was either individually or as a bundle. If you wanted the coordinating products, you needed to list each item separately on your order. In May we offered the Everything is Rosey Medley of products. This was a collection of coordinating products but you had no option to pick and choose which items to get. You would receive all the coordinating products. But with our 2019-20 Catalog we’re introducing a single item number for the complete suite of product making it so much easier to order. But wait! There’s more!
Paper Pumpkin is coordinating with THREE new suites that they can mix and match with July’s kit including the Come Sail Away Suite. This gives you so much creative flexibility. Try the Paper Pumpkin Kit for July and if you like it, you can continue to use it with three different Suites in the 2019-20 Annual Catalog. Check out the Paper Pumpkin video for June HERE and then watch the Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper video below. Subscribe to Paper Pumpkin before July 10, 2019.
Enough talking! Let’s get crafting!

Happy Birthday Partner
A friend of ours is celebrating his birthday so I thought I’d make a totally appropriate birthday card. He’s a caller for a square dance group, so I thought cowboy boots were appropriate. He’s mostly retired, so I thought I’d use mostly retired products! (Just kidding! I didn’t THINK to use all retired products. It just turned out that way. The WELL WRITTEN die set (148534) was used for the sentiment. It’s still available with an amazing array of words! Enjoy! (and Yee Haw!)
