The Wave of Inspiration Meets Summer Splash I have been spending time lately with some of my favorite stamp sets and bundles from the 2023-4 Annual and the 2024 Jan-April catalogs before they retire. One that caught my eye that I hadn't used in a very long time was the Waves of Inspiration bundle. I live in San Diego, though not so near the ocean, but I always love going and watching the waves--it is one of my happy places that always relaxes me. I decided to use this set with the new Summer Splash 2024-5 In Color, which pairs wonderfully with Blueberry Bushel in this card. If you don't recognize the DSP in the background of the card above, it is because it is a new DSP appearing in the upcoming 2024-5 Annual Catalog. It is called Unbounded Beauty DSP and it is beautiful as the papers use all the luscious new In Colors.   Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Basic White Thick cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" ...

2024-5 Annual Catalog Sneak Peek This past weekend I was able to attend the Stampin' Up! demonstrator yearly convention called On Stage where we received the new 2024-25 Annual Catalog and got to play with some new products as well as received some as gifts from the new catalog. I was fortunate to receive the new Leaf Collection background stamp as well as the Simply Said sentiment stamp sets that I used on this card. We also got to play with the new In Colors (GORGEOUS!), and were showered with presents, and you can see them on my Facebook Live below. Here are the new stamp sets--I personally love the large background stamps and show you how to best stamp with them in the Facebook live. You can also access this on YouTube at Stamp with Dr Robin.  Let's make this card! Gather your supplies: 1. Lemon Lime Twist cardstock --Card base 5 1/2" by 8 1/2" scored on the long side at  4 1/4" and folded along the score line.  2. Basic White cardstock-- A piece 4 1/4" ...

More Zinnias   I hope everyone has taken a look at the over 20 new products that just debuted in the On-Line Exclusives. I have to say the Simply Zinnia bundle and suite of products are my favorite. I love the bright, fun colors and the Designer Series Paper is to die for! I am almost through my first packet and have even opened my second packet to get a few papers out of it. And the Adhesive-Backed Sequins complement the DSP beautifully.  On March 23rd I will be hosting a Birthday Bash Buffet where participants will make at least 8 cards and they will be able to choose from at least 16 different cards to make and this will be one of them. If you are in Southern CA and want to come play with us, email me at stampwithdrrobin@gmail.com. And if you aren't local, you can order the PDF of all the cards for $25, but if you place an order with me for $35 I will send you a PDF with 8 cards worth of directions. If your order is at least $70 I will email you a PDF with directions for AL...

Hot Air Balloons Fun Fold I have had this Hot Air Balloon bundle on my desk for a while now as I am doing a class this coming weekend using the bundle and this will be one of the cards. I love the sentiments in this stamp set, and really love all the different dies--it's mix and match and I come up with something different every time I play with it. This time I paired it with the cloud die from Basic Borders dies for some extra cloud action. You may not be able to tell, but this is a fun fold--the clouds on the bottom open up the card.  I don't think you can see it in the picture, but that is shimmer paper on the balloon accents and buckets. This Soft Shimmer Paper Combo Pack is found on page 127 in the Annual Catalog and has 5 different colors--they say this one is Bubble Bath but it looks more like Fresh Freesia to me.  I have room for one more person on 3/9 for this class, or you can sign up and I can send it to you for $10 more.
