Welcome to our Creative Cardiology Team May 2023 Blog Hop!  With the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog Stampin' Up! shook up their color offerings with number of new and returning colors.  This month we're sharing a few of our returning favorites with you - mine being Misty Moonlight - one of the featured colors in this beautiful Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper!

The adorable Misty Moonlight foxes on this particular pattern of the Countryside Inn DSP are my favorite!  The various Countryside Inn DSP patterns remind me a lot of the Norwegian folk art designs we've seen on our trip to the Norwegian Fjords as part of the Stampin' Up! incentive trip (these results require significant work and are accomplished by a substantially small percentage of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators).  

Here are a couple of close up photos of the additional card designs.  Which one is your favorite?

Card Base:  Boho Blue cardstock 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"

Layer 1:  Countryside Inn DSP 4" x 5-1/4"

Layer 2:  Boho Blue cardstock 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" cut corner to corner into two triangles

Layer 3:  Countryside Inn DSP 3" x 3" cut corner to corner into two triangles

Layer 4:  Night of Navy cardstock 3-1/4" x 8-1/2"; scored at 4-1/4" and folded in half

Layer 5:  Countryside Inn DSP 3" x 4"

Layer 6:  Basic White cardstock 3" x 4" for inside 

Layer 7:  Basic White cardstock 2" x 3" for stamped and die cut gnome

Welcome to the Stampin' Up! Trip Achiever's May 2023 Blog Hop!  Thank you for visiting my blog www.jessbcreativecardiology.com.  This week David & I are enjoying the Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip cruise to the Norwegian Fjords aboard Royal Caribbean's Anthem of the Seas along with 305 other achievers from around the world.  We're incredibly excited and honored to be a part of this group, as fewer than 1% of Stampin' Up! demonstrators worldwide have earned this trip.  Many, many thanks to my wonderful customers and fabulous Creative Cardiology Team of SU! Demonstrators who have cheered me on, supported, and helped me earn this amazing reward!

Welcome to our Creative Cardiology Team April 2023 Blog Hop!  Since both the 2022-2023 Annual & Jan - Apr 2023 Mini Catalogs are retiring in less than a week we wanted to take one last opportunity to share a few of our last chance retiring favorite items with you.  

Three of my favorite last chance retiring items are the Ginkgo Branch Dies, By the Bay Designer Series Paper, and Fine Shimmer Paper.  Together they make the most beautiful cards!  

And they're on sale now too!  The Ginkgo Branch Dies are 60% off and both the By the Bay DSP and Fine Shimmer Paper are 20% off.

The Ginkgo Branch Bundle was actually one of my first purchases from the January -April 2023 Mini Catalog.  Unfortunately, the stamp set has already sold out, but the dies really are the best part anyways - and they're on sale 60% off!  I love the way the gold Fine Shimmer Paper looks when die cut with the Ginkgo Branch dies!  By adhering a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Fine Shimmer Paper before die cutting it makes it incredibly easy to adhere to your project.

Which variation of the card is your favorite - the lighter background or the dark?
