We Create Blog Hop - Mother May I?

Welcome to the MAY 2024 "Mother May I?" Blog Hop, and the DEBUT of the 2024-2025 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog!!! We generally hop on the first day of every month, and this month our theme will focus on projects having to do with the month of May, including Mother's Day. My project today features the NEW Mix & Match Products. {scroll down below the Blog Roll for ALL product purchase links}

The NEW Mix & Match products I used for my card are the Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes, the Saying Something Ephemera Pack, and the Labels & Layers Ephemera Pack. There's also a coordinating stamp set I'll show you below, but I wanted to demonstrate how easy it is to use the pre-printed die cut elements to create a card.

The Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes come in a small pack of only 5 cards with coordinating envelopes, but all 5 cards (and coordinating envelopes) feature different designs. Our Mix & Match products also include the Sunny Springs Cards & Envelopes pack, but the Calming Creek pack is much less flowery so I felt like it would be a little more versatile for me.

The Saying Something Ephemera Pack includes tons of different die cut sayings, in several different formats. You get 2 each of 4 different sheets (5"x7") of designs, for a total of 8 sheets. It includes the very popular rectangular sayings strips, outline cut sayings, a couple different banner edged sayings, and even one in a circle. In addition, there are plenty of modern cursive greeting die cuts that are generously sized, so they work wonderfully as a focal image. TIP: if you want to pop up the cursive sayings, trim a skinny strip off one side of one of our Foam Adhesive Sheets and then cut to whatever little lengths fit best - look for straight parts of the letters for easier placement.

The Labels & Layers Ephemera Pack also contains 8 sheets that are 5"x7", and there are 2 each of 4 different variations. This pack works beautifully together with the Saying Something greetings. On my card I used a couple of pieces for layering, but you can also stamp on them.

The coordinating Simply Said Mix & Match Photopolymer Stamp Set has sayings that are sized specifically for use with the Labels & Layers Ephemera Pack. It's a fantastic versatile stamp set in its own right, as well. But as you can see from my photo, you don't really have to have the stamp set, or stamping supplies (cardstock, ink, blocks, etc.), in order to make a cute little card with the Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes, and the Ephemera Packs.

I finished my card by adding some of the NEW Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls, as well as a little bow made with our Linen Thread. These are great embellishments to choose for your Mix & Match projects, because they are neutral colors that should go with just about any design!

Stampin' Supplies: Calming Creek Mix & Match Cards & Envelopes, Saying Something Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, Labels & Layers Mix & Match Ephemera Pack, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls, Linen Thread, Paper Snips (for cutting thread), and Bone Folder (optional, to burnish score lines).
