still rosy

May 30, 2019 By Mary Haugen

Looks like we have had our 2 days of spring for the year. This past Sunday was beautiful as was yesterday. otherwise, it has been cold and rainy for the past few weeks. (we won’t even talk about April…) Today it is supposed to be 80, so it looks like we are jumping right to summer. Minnesota, I think you skipped a step.

It is the last days for the 2018-19 Stampin’ Up! catalog. So while we say goodbye to a lot of fun stamp sets and product, know that there are many great new things coming your way. The NEW 2019-20 catalog goes live on Tuesday, June 4! I’ve got some fun new projects waiting to share with you.

This also means that you only have a couple of days left to snag the Everything is Rosy medley! DON’T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE! Is is simply gorgeous. I’ve got one more project to convince you you need this.

Everything is Rosy: congratulations - Center Stage Stamping

For the card base, I cut out the strip die and used it as a mask to sponge ink for a subtle background detail to frame the strips of the Everything is Rosy Designer Series Paper. Seriously, isn’t that paper ah-mazing? The picture really doesn’t do justice to the rose gold accents. The foil accents are the best! (I am really hoping Stampin’ Up! will bring out more Rose Gold products.)

So, what are you waiting for? Order this fantastic product medley before it is gone for good! You can get it in my online store here. Thanks for stopping by. Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!

Still waiting for Minnesota’s weather to catch up to the correct season. Sheesh. I really should move south. But then there are more snakes and spiders and other creatures. Hmmm… Minnesota, get your act together!

Meanwhile, I have had some more fun in my studio with the Everything is Rosy medley. My daughter and son-in-law’s best friends just had a sweet little baby girl! So, naturally I had to make a card for this little bundle.

I LOVE the floral prints in this DSP stack. This delicate print was perfect for a baby card! I did a wash with the Rose Gold Shimmer paint before I stamped the “Blessed” from the new To A Wild Rose set. Of course I had to decorate the envelope as well.

Here’s a closer look at some details:

Well, it is May 23 and Minnesota weather is still yucky. I want a spring do over. Remind me why do I live here again? I guess I will just keep bringing out the spring in my craft room by creating with bright colors and flowers. The Everything IS Rosy Medley from Stampin’ Up! is currently in a prominent place on my desk.

I had to throw in my rose gold pineapple in the back ground again. I LOVE this designer series paper. The Rose Gold accents are just ah-mazing! I need more of it. I added the little dots of Rose Gold shimmer paint with the stylus tip of my Take Your Pick tool. I LOVE the Everything Rosy medley. Especially all the glorious ROSE GOLD accents. It fits perfectly in my studio which is full of rose gold accents. Here’s a look at the top corner of my Ikea Kallax shelf:

And check out these gorgeous necklaces my friend Michelle over at Stampin’ Robin made for me with the Everything is Rosy dsp!

Love, love, LOVE them! Thanks for stopping by. Join me again to shine a spotlight on creativity!

I love Rose Gold. In fact, it is the accent color in my white and gray studio. I even found rose gold drawer pulls! When Stampin’ Up! announced the Everything Rosy Medley and we saw that Rose Gold was a prominent feature, I knew I HAD to have it. And I was not disappointed. It is GORGEOUS! The rose gold foil highlights, mirror disc embellishments and shimmer paint are fan-tab-u-lous! I may need to order a second kit so I don’t run out. Oh, and did I mention, you can create Ah-Mazingly cute projects with it! Check it out –

The photo doesn’t do justice to the gorgeous rose gold foil on the designer series paper, die cuts or the spatter of rose gold shimmer paint. The Everything Rosy kit comes with sheets of printed and rose gold die cuts that help cards come together even faster.

I adhered the strip of DSP to the inside of the card and trimmed of 1.5″ from the card front for a unique look. The sentiment label and die cuts hang over the front edge. I LOVE everything about this kit. Grab yours today – but hurry it is only available until May 31!
