If you just arrived here be sure to click on the icon at the end of each post to see it all.  Or maybe you just arrived from Melissa's blog.  I love her style! 

I'm focusing on the Garden Wishes stamp set & Dandy Wishes dies today. Both are marked down 40-50% right now!  

This first card is bright & colorful in Magenta Madness, Black & White.  I love a black & white card with a pop of color.  

Floating Technique All Together Save

The Designer Paper is the All Together 6 X 6" DSP; it's a special collection ending in May. 

I used the 'Floating' technique here.  I adhered strips of various widths of Designer Series Paper to a piece of Window Sheet and die-cut it out with the largest circle in our Layering Circle dies.  Then I added dimensionals to the back and adhered it to a 4 X 5 1/4" White card stock that's been textured with the Gingham embossing folder. 

Products retiring:

  • Dandy Wishes dies
  • Garden Wishes stamp set
  • All Together 6 X 6" DSP

I just love these Dandy Wishes die-cuts!  They are unique. fun and give lots of texture to our projects.

Next is a pretty card that's soft and almost ethereal instead of bright & bold.  The colors include Pool Party, White & Calypso Coral.  

I used the same greeting from the Garden Wishes stamp set and the same round 'Dandy Wishes' dies but also added more die-cuts in the set. I also sponged the center of the round die-cuts with Calypso Coral ink.

Notice the two sizes of the White 'dandelions'? I trimmed off a few of the thin, outer petals on one for a smaller flower. The Designer Paper background is from the Flowering Fields DSP in the 2022 January-June catalog. 

I am SUPER SAD that the Tailored Tag punch is retiring.  It's so easy to layer this one! Just cut a second one in half horizontally. It's my 'go to' punch for greetings. If you don't have this punch, get it now; it's on sale! 

Retiring items:

  • Dandy Wishes dies
  • Garden Wishes stamp set
  • Flowering Fields DSP
  • Tailored Tag punch

  • Why would you ?

    May Join offer Save

    If you love Stampin' Up! products and creating I sincerely believe getting the Starter Kit is the smart way to go.  Here is a short list of what other Demonstrators say about sharing this opportunity:

    1. Because if you're going to buy anyway, why not at a discount?
    2. To share in your love of crafting and sharing that love with others.
    3. To get the best deal.
    4. To join a community of like minded, creative & loving people!!
    5. To enjoy the opportunity to save $ while making beautiful paper crafts, with top notch products and building friendships all over the world.
    6. Because everyone should get to have this much fun at work!
    7. Because even as a hobby demo it's a great way to build friendships, have fun and get a discount.

    I've never had a Team Member regret joining Stampin' Up!  Most often they say 'Why did I wait?!'  

    We have so much fun in my Flowerbug's group! Even though many of us are spread across the country we connect, share and support each other online.  Most are hobby stampers or what I call 'Happy Shoppers'; just enjoying the perks of the discount, being a part of some fabulous online groups and seeing and ordering from catalogs early.  It's a fantastic thing to be a part of! 

    Details on being a Demonstrator:

    • Enjoy the 20% discount on all orders while you're active.  Stop ordering when you want.
    • There's no pressure to sell or hold events. 
    • Your first $300 quarterly minimum isn't due until the end of September!
    • And all orders from May – Sept count towards that minimum!
    • Many people buy from themselves; ever order counts towards that minimum! 
    • SU counts product as retail towards that minimum; but you're paying just 80% of it.  For instance, an order of $100 counts towards your $300 minimum but you pay just $80. Most times the tax & shipping is added on to the $80; not the $100.  This means you're receiving an even better deal!  
    • Joining now means you can pre-order from the Holiday AND Sale-a-Bration catalog in July!!  And that counts towards your minimum!

  • Artistic Dies & sponging; super simple but WOW!

    I couldn't decide which to use behind the sponged die-cut so I made both White & Black.   You can see that video here from Tuesday's FB live earlier this week.  

    Which one do you prefer? 

    Artistic dies; black or white Save

    The reviews were mixed.  Most prefer the Black because the colors pop more.  But others liked the White for a softer look. 

    The card bases are Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. The strips are Pear Pizzazz. I used sponge daubers in Pear, Papaya, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink to add color to the pretty die-cut.  See these dies here and the bundle here.  

    Artistic dies sponged White Save

    The pretty scalloped die-cut is from the Scalloped Contour dies seen here.  The oval is from the Double Oval punch.

    Below is the video where I demo'd this card.  Don't forget to follow my FB page here and my YouTube channel here so you won't miss anything!
