Sayin’ Good-bye to Bordering on Romance, PPA Peek, and Catalogs

Tomorrow Pals Paper Arts has another fun challenge in store for us.  Here is a little peek of my Design Team card to pique your interest.  Let me tell you, it was a challenge for me.  Join me Thursday for the reveal, and the story of my trials and tribulations!

Bye-Bye Bordering on Romance

Bordering on Romance (W 125480, C 125482) is on the retired list.  This was a set that in the beginning, I didn’t really like.  Then I created these cards, and the love affair started. However, I can’t keep every retired set, so it is one which I will be selling after June 1st.

Until next time…

Soho Subway…a New Catalog Sneak Peek for The Paper Players

It’s Sunday and time to play with The Paper Players! This week we have a sketch challenge for you. Remember that you can flip the sketch, and use any shapes you wish.  We just want you to have fun! And speaking of fun, I had a blast using Soho Subway,  one of the Designer Series Paper collections available when the new Stampin’ Up! catalog goes live on May 31st. Enjoy!

The Stampin’ Schach Design Tips: Soho Subway
The finished card measures 5-1/2″ wide by 4-1/4″ long.

  • Blue medallions! One of my favorite patterns from this shabby collection consists of Blue Medallions, just made for adding a pearl in the center!
  • Crisp Cantaloup and Baked Brown Sugar Everything Eleanor Blossoms are inked in new In-Colors, Crisp Cantaloup and Baked Brown Sugar. They are nestled upon a Soho Subway Newspaper Print 2-1/2″ punched circle.

  • Summer Starfruit! This gorgeous pattern in Summer Starfruit, pairs perfectly with the Crisp Cantaloup, Island Indigo and Very Vanilla Soho patterns.

What do you think of this paper? Won’t you let me know in today’s comments? I’ll be anxious to read your thoughts.  Plus, I am sending a big thank-you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday and sent cards!  You all made my day very special! Until next time…
