Song of My Heart Stampers

Simple, sweet magnolias

There's just a teeny bit of time left in the old catalog, and I'm using those minutes to draw your attention to a sweet little set that actually wasn't IN it! The Magnolia Blooms stamp set was only featured in our beginner's brochure, Experience Creativity. It's like a mini version of the enormously popular Good Morning Magnolia set.

I sat down to see what I could do with Magnolia Blooms before it's too late for you to add it to your collection, too! I came up with four very simple, clean layouts that you'll love--and the basic supplies to make 40+ of them are just under $50! That's including envelopes. WOW!

I used scraps of patterned paper to contrast with the florals on two of my designs. The coordinating Magnolia Lane papers are also retiring and those are a great choice if you want to match. This sweet Petal Pink polka dot pattern came from Bird Ballad.

Actually... the size of this smaller magnolia is probably more versatile and useful than the big set! However, you might consider getting both so you have all of the sentiments plus a wide variety of sizes of the flower for both cards, pages, and the outsides of your envelopes.

Here's my supplies list, broken down by cost. Making your own greeting cards CAN be pricey, depending on what you feel you need-- but with wise buys and thrifty tricks, it can also be considerably cheaper than the store. And for newbies or people in a hurry? Magnolia Blooms is about as smart a purchase as it gets.

This self-imposed challenge was so fun! Do you ever set yourself a little crafty task, like using up a certain bunch of scraps, or finally getting a neglected stamp set inky?

even more Purple Lover's Party projects!

My fingers are still inky and the color continues to be purple! We're celebrating the new color Purple Posy by having a long weekend full of purple-only projects. My first card today is a bonus card for my Class of the Month participants in October. I always use the class' featured set when I make a card to send with their sampler of the month, so I knew I needed to use Winter Woods.

But since it's purple party weekend... I used it in purple!

Purple is really fun for a Christmas card, actually. It's very elegant, and being the color of royalty it's great for cards celebrating the birthday of the King! Lavender is less well-known for Christmas colors, but I think here it evokes a glittering twilight that speaks of snow and frosty air. 

I made one more card with Modern Heart before I put it away for now. I used the watercolor-look swoosh stamp to make an all-over background in Purple Posy ink, and I like how it added a ton of texture. I used the Purple Posy Stampin' Blends combo pack to highlight the geometric planes of the heart shape. And look how well the new triple purple ribbon goes with all those shades! It ties really nice bows, too.

My last purple project for the weekend... I DO have other things I need to get too....

Since I had the Blends out and a good-sized piece of the copper-dotted goodie bag left, I colored my own background paper Purple Posy. The alcohol ink soaked right through the paper sack material, so if you try this at home, make sure you have paper underneath. Then I stamped and colored the rose (from To A Wild Rose) to coordinate. Sooo pretty!

Fun facts about PURPLE:

• there is one country's flag in the whole world that has purple on it. Dominica has a green and purple parrot in the center.
• Purple Day is March 26th and was created in 2008 to raise awareness for epilepsy. It was chosen because lavender is a traditional herbal remedy for the condition.
• Porphyrophobia is the fear of the color purple.
• Purple dye used to come from the mucous glands of a snail called a murex. The Latin name for murex, purpura, is where we get the term purple.

I hope you enjoyed our purple weekend! You can still get in on the purple care packages through Monday when you order Stampin' Up through my store (click here). The party code is Y4KJ7QN3 and gets entered right before checkout.

The purple package will arrive separately, in the regular mail within a couple of days. Stampin' Up orders will come UPS. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks so much for participating in the Purple Lover's Party! This was super fun and I hope you come away with bunches of ideas for your purple inks and papers.

more Purple Lovers Party projects!

So my friends are all getting their houses decorated for fall, and I'm over here having a purple party! I don't care what time of year it is, purple is always appropriate. Be sure you don't miss yesterday's Purple Lover's Party post!

Just for fun, I've put together some fall/winter season color combos with purple in them. Enjoy!

Suggested Stampin' Up Color Combos using purples

Purple Posy	Crumb Cake	Pretty Peacock	Seaside Spray
Gorgeous Grape	Bermuda Bay	Pool Party	Purple Posy
Smoky Slate	Highland Heather	Mint Macaron	Shaded Spruce

Purple is one of those chameleon colors that can serve as both a "warm" and a "cool" hue, depending on what is paired with it. Darker purples add a zing of intensity, and light purples have a calming effect. Color is so neat, don't you think?

On to our inspiration projects for the day! I really like this layout because it uses up strips from my scrap bin. The name of the paper pack is Woven Threads. These are four one-inch-wide leftovers from Scrapbooking Summer School, and it's been really fun coming up with uses for 120 of them!

Start with the one on either side, then split the different when adding the two middle strips. Makes for a very interesting, textural background. If you want more ideas for using up little strips and scraps, I have a whole blog category just for that! 

Isn't that rose so pretty? When I was ready to move on from Modern Heart and chose another set to make purple cards with, To A Wild Rose was a no-brainer. It's sooo pretty with the color combo of Gorgeous Grape (outline), Highland Heather (accents) and Purple Posy (base color). I don't use a whole ton of lace on my cards, but I did like the addition of a nice crisp white half-doily that balances the layout.

I felt so clever with my "patterned paper" on these cards... the copper foil pattern is actually a treat bag that I cut apart and used on three different cards. It doesn't show well in the photos, but the copper is subtle and warms up the white. Little trick for ya!

I hope you're really enjoying all this purple! Next post I've got some delightful uses of the Purple Posy Stampin' Blends markers that are going to make you very happy to know about! 

Until then, if you want to get in on the Purple Posy care package, shop here with the party code Y4KJ7QN3 and I'll put your address on one of these adorable purple mailers. Smile when you see it, because there's fun inside! 

Purple Lovers Party projects!

I had so much fun giggling away in my craft room, making all these purple projects! I've got a BUNCH of cute purple cards for your inspiration this weekend to celebrate the return of Purple Posy, our delinquent In Color.

If you missed the commotion, back in May when we Stampin' Up demonstrators got our new Purple Posy ink pads, it became clear that the ink color wasn't "fast"-- it stamped one color, dried another, and then faded to yet another. Stampin' Up immediately acted to make sure that inferior ink pads didn't get in customer hands, so we've been waiting while a new "recipe" was formulated and tested.

We learned all kinds of things about the process along the way--including how seriously Stampin' Up takes ink! But the fifth time was a charm, and dried to the correct color even after baking more than twice as long in the simultated "aging" ovens. Yippee!!

So now it's here, and it's gorgeous! A light, clear lavender with no gray in it, that coordinates perfectly with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape. Come to momma!

The first thing I wanted to use with Purple Posy was my newest stamp set, Modern Heart. It plays in perfectly with the airy geometrics that are right in style currently. And the sentiments... I would buy this set just for the sentiments!

The internet tells me (so it must be true) that:

• Purple combines the calm stability of blue and the fierce energy of red.
• in Bible times, associated with royalty, nobility, luxury and power because it was so expensive to produce.
• today it represents extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, and grandeur.
• darker shades speak of mystery and magic.
• lighter shades are feminine and calming
• makes people happy! (but you knew that)

I LOVE ombre and I LOVE the watercolor-look swoosh stamp in this set. Be prepared to see a bunch more cards from me with this dark-to-light combo. See, this is why you need all three purple ink pads!

This next card uses just Highland Heather and Purple Posy. Purple all OVER the place!

All right, let's talk about the rest of our weekend! Our Purple Lover's Party goes through Sunday night! If you find yourself in need of some purple (or any other supplies) and shop in my online store with the Purple Party Code ( Y4KJ7QN3 ) I will be sending you a Purple Posy Care Package in a cute purple mailer so you can squeal as soon as you see it in your mailbox. Your order needs to be at least $40 to qualify and it HAS to use the code, so don't forget!

Click here to go shop for goodies! 

And don't forget to take a peek at Modern Heart's cute sentiments. I think you NEED them.

Then be sure to visit again tomorrow and Sunday for more purple inspiration.

My fingers are all inky and I can't wait to show you why!

Purple Lovers Party starts today!

Purple Lovers, it's the moment you've been waiting for. We're having a party exclusively for you!

To celebrate the debut of Purple Posy, our poor delayed 2019-2021 In Color, I'm giving away a "care package" of Purple Posy papers and pretties to every who orders $40 or more with the purple party code!

31 Pages in 31 Days: Rose Quilt page and online class coupon code!

Whoo hoo! 18 days and I haven't missed one yet! I have totally lost count of how many pages I've completed thus far (most of my layouts are doubles, naturally) so I decided I'll just wait and reveal the grand total accomplished at the end of the month.

Thanks for joining us for 31 Pages in 31 Days! There's still time to leave a comment and enter to win a package of 31 patterned papers this week! Click here.

Pink pink PINK! Pink all over the place! This is the perfect page to showcase your unabashed girly girl. It's got Powder Pink, Blushing Bride, and Rococo Rose, plus lace, florals, gingham, bows and bling!

I'll finish this one off with a headline that captures the exact Miss Sassypants in the photo. It's so fun having a girl. It just keeps getting funner, too, as she grows into her own style. We keep going to buy school supplies and coming home with cute clothes instead. Oops!

Make your own celebration of PINK! Here's what I used:

I know the headline COUPON CODE caught your eye, so without further ado, here it is! For the rest of the month of August 2019, take 50% off ALL of my classes with the code SCRAP! Here's a quick overview of the resources available:
