During the past couple of weeks, Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators have been able to order select items from the 2020 Annual Catalog – how fun! There are so many amazing, new products in the new catalog, and I can’t wait for June 3 when we can all order from the entire book. Today’s project features a new bundle from the new catalog and an incredible embossing folder you must have. The new catalog is so special. Here’s my card:
Tips, Tricks and Reminders
- Tasteful Touches Bundle. When I saw the Tasteful Touches Bundle was in the Demonstrator Pre-Order options, it went right to the top of my list. The stamp set is lovely, but the coordinating Tasteful Layers Dies are out-of-this-world! I used both on my card. Here’s a look at the Tasteful Touches Bundle:
Aren’t those dies amazing?! Each one has a stitched or scalloped or dotted or embossed. I was excited to layer with these dies for this card and am already planning more projects. Here’s a closer look at the Tasteful Layers Dies: 
- Texture. I love a little texture on a simple card – it can really make a big difference. After I cropped the Petal Pink cardstock with this gorgeous emblem from the Tasteful Labels Dies, I ran it through my embossing machine with the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder. What a gorgeous effect – I de-bossed the panel (where the indentions go in vs out) for the look of crinkled paper. What fun! Here’s a closer look:
Here’s a look at this incredible new embossing folder that’s part of the World of Good Suite in the new catalog. LOVE IT! 
For additional texture on my card, I added a layer of vellum and ran Mossy Meadow Linen thread around the focal panel. Such a wonderful and simple effect. - Color Combination. Even though my card features a new suite from the new catalog, the colors were inspired by the Magnolia Lane Suite in Stampin’ Up!’s 2019 Annual Catalog. I even used the Mossy Meadow linen thread from the retiring Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack on this card. I also added Gray Granite to the gorgeous mix of light pink and rich green for an unexpected twist. If you like this combination of Petal Pink, Gray Granite and Mossy Meadow, please save this for future reference:

My current customers should be receiving their new catalogs soon. While I would LOVE for you to have your copy before the catalog is live to customers, there are delays in the deliveries from the post office. Please be patient. ♥
Thanks for stopping by today!

Oh Brian, you are NOT good for my wallet! I had convinced myself that I only needed the stamps, and not the dies. How silly of me!
I was “this close” to just getting the dies (and not the stamps), but the 10% off both deal just made me grab them both. Happy to have both. ♥
lovin’ the layers and simple design!
Thanks, Mary! ♥
Beautiful card, Brian. I love this color combo and the must-have dies. They are so versatile. Enjoy your day!
I couldn’t agree with you more about the dies. They are amazing. Thanks for your comments, Hilda! So glad you like the card. ♥
I love this set and your beautiful card. You truly amaze me with your talent.
Thank you so much, Liz! I’m so grateful for your kindness and friendship.
There is that embossing folder again! Just love it!
🙂 I knew this was going to be a hit – and I’m so happy it was on the pre-order.
Love all the texture..the twine really makes the card!
Thanks, Windy! I was missing something before I added the linen thread. It gave me exactly what I wanted. ♥
LOVE the embossed label…..BRILLIANT!
Thanks, Kadie! I really, really love this embossing folder. ♥
I agree those Tasteful Label Dies are great ! They are on my order list for sure ! The Mossy Meadow cord addition is one of those added details that I love on cards ! Plus look at that EF switcheroo !
Great card !
I love to keep you guessing, Sonny! ♥ I adore Mossy Meadow so very much – it’s so easy to use.
Love the layers Brian! Stitched dies are just the absolute best, it gives projects added wow! Love the new shapes!
Thanks, Katrina! Aren’t these dies amazing?!
Oh boy – another “to the top of my list” set. Even though this entire card is gorgeous I really think the thread brought out the beauty of the die cut sentiment. All in all another winner. Brian – do you measure the spaces of the thread? The spacing is so very perfect!
Thanks, Grace! I rarely use ribbon or twine, but I love the texture in this thread – couldn’t help myself. Here’s my secret – I taped one end of the thread behind the card and then wrapped it around many times, taping the other end behind the card. I then pushed them up or down with my fingertip to get them right where I wanted them. 🙂
