AWH Annual Catalogue Sneak Peak

Hi there

Tonight I am participating in a blog hop along with the talented ladies in the Art With Heart Team. We thought it would be fun to share some fabulous ideas from the brand new  2017-2018 Annual Catalogue, to inspire you. All of the new product I'm using in my projects today will be available on 1 June 2017 - that's less that 2 weeks away. Be sure to request your copy of the catalogue today!

One of the many benefits of being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is that we get to purchase some of the fabulous products from the new Annual Catalogue in advance. I've decided to focus on the 'Delightful Daisy Suite' for my projects today. Products in the suite include the 'Daisy Delight' stamp set, the fabulous Daisy Punch, gorgeous Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper and yummy Faceted Gems. I think you can guess that I really love these products!

 

  

There are lots of colours in the Delightful Daisy DSP, including Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Night of Navy, Old Olive, Pool Party, Tranquil Tide and Whisper White. Although not listed, there is also Wisteria Wonder in the floral designs and Soft Sky works beautifully as well. I'm sure you will find some designs that you love. The stamp set and punch are bundled with a 10% discount for $54.75.

  

One of the gorgeous floral designs from the Delightful Daisy designer paper pack takes centre stage on my first card. This is one of my favourites and I've paired it with Wisteria Wonder and Calypso Coral. I've punched out 4 layers with the Daisy punch using thick Whisper White as it is more robust if you want to curve the petals with your bone folder.

 

 

I used the Simply Scored scoring tool to create the embossed panel at the top. The greeting is from the new 'Wood Words' stamp set and I've cropped it with an oval from the Stitched Shapes framelits. I also punched out 2 of the mid-sized flower in Calypso Coral with the (retiring) Blossom punch and offset them; it makes the perfect 'frill' that you get round the centre of a Gerbera. Next is a 1/2" circle and on top is one of the new gold facted gems - love these! Here is a close up for you.

 

 

I've kept the inside very simple, just adding a strip of the DSP at the bottom of the writing panel and a little border of Pool Party.

For my second card, I've used  the 'Daisy Delight' stamp set to create a focus panel for my card. It sits on a Night of Navy design from the paper pack and is matted on Wild Wasabi. It is difficult to see, but I have used a Blender Pen to pull some ink from the centre of the daisies for a little soft colour. 

 

 

For the inside, I've added a little more daisy garden on the right side to complement the front.

beautiful cards, always your attention to detail is amazing as I always admire your matching insides to the cards.

Both cards are so so beautiful Judy! I never bother to make white inserts but seeing your cards maybe I should always do it too. Looking forward to seeing more of your wonderful creations xx

Those flower centres are gorgeous Judy, I knew there was a reason to hang onto retiring punches! The second example is simply sweet, great to see what you can make without punching too. Really beautiful examples using this stamp and punch.

[Tina Gillespie]

Oh, these are so beautiful, Judy! I love your generous flower on the first card - sometimes one or two layers of that flower just isn't enough! The second card is just as gorgeous. I haven't yet played with more than the large daisy stamp, and now I really need to rectify that.

[Tania]

Beautiful cards Judy - thank you.

[Caroline]

Such beautiful cards Judy. I particularly love the colours in your first one - gorgeous!

[Catherine Proctor]

Your incredible photography really showcases these stunning projects--amazing!

Two beautiful cards Judy. I love the very fresh feel of the second card - just gorgeous.

[Sharon Davern]

Such beautiful cards Judy. I love how you have stamped the daisy panel on the second card, lovely/

[Kate Morgan]

Great cards Judy! I love the first one especially, the colours are just gorgeous and I love the scoring to create that stunning effect.

[ClaireDaly]

Great minds think alike Judy! Looks like the daisy bundle is going to be super popular! I really like what you have done with the other stamps in the set with your second card too. Thanks for participating in the AWHT blog hop.

[Alisha Watson]

Always so pretty and perfect in detail. I love them Judy TFS
