Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and customers have spoken.. the Good Morning Magnolia bundle is one of the most popular new bundles in the new catalog! I knew it would be.. It’s amazing!! I paired it with the new Birch Background stamp on my 2 Magnolia cards today and I love them both! I colored one with Petal Pink and Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends and the other one with Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody Stampin’ Blends.
Step 1: Stamp Magnolia image in Memento Black ink onto Whisper White cardstock
Step 2: Color with Stampin’ Blends markers
Step 3: Die cut with coordinating Magnolia Memories dies
Step 4: Add to card with lots of Stampin’ Dimensionals
This money saving bundle (priced at 10% off) includes both the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and the Magnolia Memories dies. I stamped and colored the flowers with my Stampin’ Blends then die cut them to add to my cards. Find the Magnolia Lane Suite on pages 26 – 38 in your new catalog or HERE online.
I added a knot of the new Petal Pink Organdy Striped ribbon to this card to coordinate with the colored flower. It’s so pretty and already a best seller. Find it on pages 107 and 174, #149441 online. I decided to try really soft colors on this card, so the Birch Background is inked with Soft Suede but stamped off TWICE before stamping the Whisper White background. The leaves are colored with Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blends.
Stampin’ Blends Tip! Add some yellow to the green leaves as shown below to really pick up the yellow in the flower, and, don’t be afraid to mix more than one Stampin’ Blends color. When you pair the Daffodil Delight and Mango Melody as shown below, it’s almost like 4 shades of one color. Same idea with the Light and Dark Petal Pink combined with the Light and Dark Calypso Coral above.
For the leaves, I used Granny Apple Green, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends. The Birch Background is stamped in Soft Suede ink but stamped off once prior to stamping this background. The base is Pear Pizzazz cardstock.
As you can see, I’ve mixed and matched some accessory elements from other suites – the Petal Pink ribbon from the Floral Essence suite and also the Bird Ballad trinkets (below) from the Bird Ballad suite!
Do you have a preference? The Yellow one or the Peach one?

I wasn’t sure what leaves I wanted to add to this card with my Floral Essence flower. So, I decided to fussy cut some leaves from the Magnolia Lane designer paper with my Paper Snips. I stamped the flower from the Floral Essence stamp set in Rococo Rose onto the Rococo Rose patterned paper from the Woven Threads designer paper pack. The center is an In Color faceted gem.. and guess what.. I used my Wink of Stella to give it a little glitter!! 🙂
Above are 3 In colors I used on this project, Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose and Terracotta Tile. I also used Mossy Meadow by cutting out the leaves and adding them to the card. While I was sponging some Rococo Rose onto the flower, I decided to go ahead and label my sponge daubers for the 5 new In Colors (see them here) with my Brother P-touch labeler. (I have the wireless version.. I love it!)
This paper pattern might look familiar .. I also featured it in one of my Woven Threads / Heirloom Frames cards HERE a few days ago!
I used 3 of the patterns from the Woven Threads designer paper pack on this card plus 2 ribbons (Lace and Terracotta Tile ribbon) and a stamped die cut piece from the Perfect Parcels die set. Lots of new products, some fun layers and texture, and an unexpected color combo!

Let’s start right at the beginning of the New Stampin’ Up! catalog! These great new Heirloom Frames Die and Embossing Folder are part of the Woven Threads Suite, found on pages 12 to 14 in your new catalog, or HERE online. I created 3 different projects featuring the oval image for you today!
This amazing new Embossing Folder and Die combo can be found on page 13 in your new 2019 2020 Stampin’ UP! catalog, or #152325 HERE online! It also includes a rectangle frame, which I’ll be highlighting soon! For my cards today, I have used Terracotta Tile cardstock (one of the NEW 2019 2021 In Colors!) and some Terracotta Tile ink with a sponge dauber to help highlight the raised areas on some of the embossed images.
How to Use the Embossing Folder & Die:
- If you would like an oval die cut image that is embossed, be sure to die cut the oval first
- Then emboss that oval.. it’s much easier to line up that way! (ask me how I know)
My floral card above features the die cut oval frame, sponged with Terracotta Tile ink, and layered onto an embossed background with the new Scripty embossing folder. I stamped 2 flowers from the Floral Essence stamp set, both in Terracotta Tile ink (smaller one is “stamped off” first), and added a little stamped label from the Parcels & Petals die set, stamped with a greeting from the Free as a Bird set. In Color Faceted Gems complete the card.
On my next 2 cards, I did not die cut the oval frame, I simply embossed the oval onto a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Terracotta Tile cardstock and layered that onto my folded card base (Seaside Spray above, Thick Whisper White below).
Card above: I sponged the oval embossed frame with a sponge dauber. I used a Layered Ovals scallop to die cut some of the Woven Threads designer paper, then layered a stamped greeting onto a die cut from the Sailing Home die set. Denim Ribbon and In Color Faceted Gems complete the card.
Card below: I embossed the smaller Magnolia flower image from the Magnolia embossing folder onto Petal Pink cardstock, and colored it very lightly with Watercolor Pencils, blending with a Blender Pen for just a little contrast. I did not sponge this frame, and kept the whole card very soft and subtle.
I hope you enjoyed the 3 ways I’ve shared today to use this beautiful new Heirloom embossing folder / die combo!

I have a Mini Blog Hop for you today, featuring 3 Stampin’ UP! artists from my Luv 2 Stamp Group demonstrator team! Scroll to the bottom of the post to visit Melanie, Cindee and Kurstan and see their amazing new Stampin’ UP! product cards! My card today features the Floral Essence stamp set paired with the Leaf Punch and pretty springy colors!
Find the Floral Essence set on page 107, or HERE online.
My cardbase is Coastal Cabana cardstock, and I sponged some Coastal Cabana ink onto the Whisper White cardstock layer. The Coastal Cabana Glitter Enamel Dots and Coastal Cabana “hello” stamped on the Stitched Nested Label die all tie in the color combo.
Stampin’ UP! Color Combo:
I used Coastal Cabana, Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo, and Old Olive for this fun card.
This card was inspired by the super talented Tami Hewlett. She is AMAZING! I found this card on Instagram and fell in love with this color combo and layout. I think she watercolored her background though. Thanks for the inspiration, Tami!
I stamped the flowers in Calypso Coral ink, then I used the Calypso Coral, Flirty Flamingo and Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends markers to lightly give some color to the flower. I curled the flower with my bone folder to give it dimension and then sponged the edge with Calypso Coral ink. I think it really gave some fun dimension!! The leaves are stamped with Old Olive ink onto Pear Pizzazz cardstock, then punched with the Leaf Punch.
The hello greeting is found in the To a Wild Rose set and stamped with Coastal Cabana ink onto a Stitched Nested label die.
At first I made this card with 3 flowers, and then I wasn’t sure if it felt too crowded, so I did 2 flowers and added the Stitched Nested label with the “hello” stamped on it. What do you think? 2 or 3?
Blog Hop!
Enjoy amazing inspiration with more new projects from my fellow Luv 2 Stamp Group teammates:
Thanks for checking in today! I hope you are enjoying the new Stampin’ UP! catalog!

What a perfect pair of products for this handmade card!! The Stampin’ UP! Above the Clouds bundle featuring the hot air balloon stamps and punch, paired with the Shimmery White embossing paste and the cloud stencil from the Pattern Party Decorative Mask set!
Click to shop the Above the Clouds Bundle at a 10% discount!
I made this card while at an all day stamping retreat hosted by Kurstan, and she showed us this fun way to mix embossing paste with reinker.. just add a bit of embossing paste to a small snack Ziplock size baggie, and a few drops of reinker (we used Coastal Cabana).. mix it up by smooshing the baggie and then add it to your project with the palette knives and cloud mask.
We used the cloud stencil from the Pattern Party decorative mask set and our Palette knives to make these beautiful blue shimmery clouds – a great background for our hot air balloons!
Quick tip: Always stamp your images first, then turn the punch over and punch out the image for best results.
The new Above the Clouds bundle can be found on page 89 in the new 2019 2020 Stampin’ Up! annual catalog. Buy the punch and stamp set together for a 10% bundle discount!!!
The Embossing Paste, Palette knives and cloud mask are all on page 181 in the new catalog, or you can click any product photo below to shop right in my online store!
