Parisian Beauty for Freshly Made Sketches


I couldn't resist! I know November is way too early to think about spring, but the new 2020 Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer Mini Catalogue does come out in January and this card is a sneak peek from that catalogue, so it's really not that far off at all! The products used in this card are mainly from that new catalogue, and because I got my Product Purchase Premiere order on Thursday, I couldn't resist a little time playing with them now that my Craft Fair is over.

The products I used are among my favourites in the catalogue. You'll be able to get your hands on them Jan. 3, unless you join my team. Then you can start ordering them Dec. 1 which is only 1 week away!

The stamp set I used is called *Parisian Beauty and it's perfect for collage stamping like I did here and looks great with the vintage look. 

*These products are from the upcoming 2020 Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer Mini Catalogue and won't be available for customer purchase until Jan. 3/20.

The layout I used is from the latest Freshly Made Sketches challenge:


Here's a closer look at my card:


  • On a card base of Sahara Sand, I added a Soft Suede panel that I embossed with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder. I used some new *Parisian Blossoms Specialty Designer Series Paper over that with a bit of *Petal Pink Metallic Edged Ribbon, also from the up coming Spring Summer Mini Catalogue. 
  • The image panel was stamped with several images from the *Parisian Beauty stamp set in Petal Pink, Memento Tuxedo Black, Sahara Sand and Soft Suede, all stamped off once. 
  • Over that, after using the Embossing Buddy, the *Eiffel Tower Stamp was inked up in Versamark ink and stamped on the same panel and covered with a mixture of Silver and Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder, with Silver being the dominant colour in the mix. This gives a warmer tone than just silver, thus creating a bit of a champagne look.
  • The sentiment, also from the *Parisian Beauty stamp set, is stamped in Petal Pink on a 3/4" strip, cropped and the end flagged. One corner is worked with the bone folder until the paper plies can be separated and curled separately.
  • The edges of the image panel and the sentiment strip are sponged with Soft  Suede ink and they are mounted on the card front.
  • New *Champagne Rhinestones are added for the finishing touch.
*These products are from the upcoming 2020 Stampin' Up! Spring/Summer Mini Catalogue and won't be available for customer purchase until Jan. 3/20.




Are you starting to feel a little freaked out about getting your Christmas shopping done in time? I can help in a couple of ways. I have Gift Certificates in any denomination for your crafty friends and family. I can mail them or email them, depending on the time you have left.

If you go to STAMPINUP.COM/25UNDER30_CA you're going to find 25 products under $30 CAD that are perfect for small gifts or stocking stuffers for those folks as well. 

I also provide a Gift Registry type service. If you send me your wish list, and send my contact info to your friends and family, I can help them get a Christmas gift for you that you would truly love, at the same time making sure there are no duplicates. And everytime someone shops for you with me, I will include an extra small surprise from me along with the gift!
