January 2022 Creation Station Blog Hop--Happy New to You

 


Happy New Year!  Welcome to the January Creation Station Blog Hop.  So glad you've joined me and the rest of the Creation Station design team today.  We are sharing something new to our stash of Stampin' Up! products with you. Some products will be new items from the January to June 2022 Mini Catalog, some will be new acquisitions from our own Wish Lists.  Be sure you click on the "Next" link to hop with us and see what we are each loving now!


My favorite new "stuff" is from the Heart & Home Suite (#157959 for entire suite) in the new mini catalog that goes live on January 4.   The Heart & Home suite has two different stamp set and die bundles.  I only have the Blessings of Home bundle (#157939) right now, but after playing with it for a while, I know I will be ordering the Honeybee Home bundle very soon, as well as the Heart & Home Memories & More card pack and cards & envelopes pack.  Today I am featuring the Blessings of Home Bundle (Blessings of Home stamp set and coordinating Flowers of Home die set, #157939); the beautiful Heart & Home designer series paper (#157928),which has beautiful floral designs on one side and various shiplap board patterns in Basic Gray and white on the other side; the Heart & Home doilies (#157956) and the Classic Matte Dots (#158146).  I have three easy card projects today using some classic techniques:


The designer series paper on the Thank You card has a lightly dotted Misty Mountain background for the floral pattern, so I used Misty Moonlight for my card stock, doily and stamped image and let the colors in the paper shine.  I masked off part of the Thank You greeting image and stamped it on a piece of one of the shiplap paper patterns.


This wildflower and bee pattern had me falling in love with the In Color Cinnamon Cider!  It also put the Honeybee Home stamp set at the top of my Wish List!  The greeting was stamped in VersaMark and embossed with black Stampin' emboss Powder onto a board pattern.  The floral branch die cut was die cut twice, once in Basic Gray and the other in Pale Papaya. The flowers on the Pale Papaya die cut were clipped off and then layered over the Basic Gray die cut.


The large floral bouquet on this Fresh Freesia card was stamped in VersaMark and embossed with white Stampin' Emboss Powder.  The flower petals were all colored with the White Watercolor Pencil to give them a softer, kind of transparent feel. Black embellishments and an black heat embossed greeting pop off the card.

Let's hop on over to Elizabeth Price's blog to see what she has created for us today--it is sure to be "Wow!" worthy.  I am so inspired by her talent!


Hope you find joy and happiness in 2022!
