Welcome to this month’s installment of the Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop where this small group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the globe gather to give you a bunch of inspiration using ink (and paper and stamps, too!). I really hope you are able to find something that spurs you on!

You may have gathered from the title of my blog that this month’s theme is “NEW ANNUAL CATALOG SNEAK PEEK!” I am sure that you have seen a few things here and there form other demonstrators. Once we get our hands on anything new, we are eager to share it with you. And, the products from this catalog are no different.

One of the set that I am really excited about in this new catalog is Daisy Lane. It’s like a sister set to the Delightful Daisy set that came out last year. It even has a new coordinating punch – the Medium Daisy Punch. I can’t wait to get that.

So, this Daisy Lane set offers a daisy with a little more detail as well as images from the side and a stem. There are also a couple new sentiments in a beautiful font.

I took a cue from Julie DiMatteo. She created a very simple card using this set. I just changed the colors a bit…

Here is my version…

I used the one of the new 2019-2021 In Colors – Purple Posey. It’s a perfect light purple. The ink is Gorgeous Grape for the flower, stem, and sentiments. I used the sponge dauber to apply Daffodil Delight ink to the center of the flower.

To give a little more bulk to the flower, I stamped and punched three layers. I used Tombow Multi-purpose glue to attach them all together. Then I used a Dimensional to lift of the card.

Sorry, I don’t have a close up for you. But here is the inside.

I did CASE the inside from someone but for the life of me I can’t remember who. And, don’t forget to Gussy up your envelope too. No naked envelopes allowed!

Well, that’s it for me today. Hop along now and see what the others have in store for you!

Until next time, keep it simple, Stampers!
