Find Inspiration: Casing the Catalog

Where do you find inspiration for your stamping and crafting? A great resource for ideas and color combinations is any Stampin’ Up! catalog. When I’m feeling creatively challenged, I will often skim through a catalog. I look for design ideas, project ideas, or color combinations.

Today’s card is one I cased from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalog.

I love the new stamp set Inspiring Iris. Besides the iris images, there is a fun carnation and a sweet rose. I wanted to try the carnations but I kept drawing a blank. (more…)

The 2019 In Colors: Rococo Rose

The new Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog has been out about a month now and I want to start showcasing the new 2019 In Colors. Today’s card features Rococo Rose. Its a soft, subtle, dusty color of pink. I think it has a nice vintage appeal. I’m not a pink girl but its growing on me!

For my card, I started with a Gray Granite card base and a Rococo Rose sheet of designer series paper from the 2019-2021 In Color 6 x 6 pack. I choose the script pattern for a soft, feminine background.
