Opt in for my Card stock shares

I have cardstock share's happening this month. We used to have these in the mini catalogs but they stopped offering them so I now offer them to my customers on occasion.

Here's how it works.  Instead of getting 24 sheets of 1 color in a package (like the catalog offers), I provide 6 sheets each of 4 different colors. It's a great way to get a nice sampling of our card stock.

These colors coordinate with the new Designer Papers in the Spring catalog. 

1. Wildflower Birthday – 6 sheets each of Pretty in Pink, Peach Pie, Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam

2. Floral Delight – 6 sheets each of Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie, Lemon Lolly & Old Olive

3. Beautiful Bokeh – 6 sheets each of Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia, Balmy Blue & Calypso Coral

4. Friends of the Ocean – 6 sheets each of Pumpkin Pie, Summer Splash, Melon Mambo & Lemon Lime Twist

5. Storybook Moments – 6 sheets each of Mossy Meadow, Boho Blue, Basic Beige & Pebbled Path

6. Timeless Plaid – 6 sheets each of Misty Moonlight, Old Olive, Calypso Coral & Wild Wheat

*If you'd like any of these let me know.  I'll figure postage once you tell me how many shares you'd like and provide your zip code as well.  Email me here for a quote. 

These shares will be offered for just a few weeks; so contact me soon.

• Perched in a Tree Explosion card with video tutorial!

  August 15, 2022

  ---

  I can't stop using the Aspen dies!  I absolutely love this tree die-cut!  

  Did you know these dies are free during August with our Sale-a-Bration promotion?  Any $100 Stampin' Up! order and they're yours free! 

  Save

  I created this card on last week's FB Live video.  You can watch it here.  

  For the card front, I simply added a layer of the Rings of Love DSP behind it for a soft background.  You can keep it this simple or create your own background!  

  However I made the inside of the card extra special with an Explosion fold. These look so difficult to do but honestly they're not!  Please watch the video; afterwards you'll want to make one!

  Save

  The left card has the Rings of Love DSP and the card on the right features the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.  For greetings I used the Soft Seedlings & Perched in a Tree stamp sets.  

  Save

  I also shared an easy ribbon trick in the video; if you have trouble with bows I hope you watch.

  Measurements: 

  • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
  • DSP – 3 7/8” X 5 1/8”, inside is 8” square

• Stamparatus ‘Step’ technique with Amazing Phrasing set

  August 12, 2022

  ---

  I played with the Rings of Love DSP on this week's FB Live and this is one of the cards I made.  It's so bright & cheery!

  Save

  I wanted to really show off the fun phrases you can create from the Amazing Phrasing stamp set seen here. I used just a bit of my favorite pattern in the Rings of Love DSP seen here.  That was my inspiration for the colors – Mint Macaron, Poppy Parade & Petal Pink.  

  In the video I show you how easy it is to get the images stamped perfectly in place.  It is quite simple yet crazy cool!  

  Save

  I did stamp the 'amazing' one extra time and fussy cut it to pop it up on the card front.  I also colored a few rhinestones with Blends markers to add some coordinating sparkle.  

  The Rings of Love DSP is free with any $50 order and the Amazing Phrasing stamp set is free with a $100 order.  I love Sale-a-Bration!!

• Sweet Songbird candy nest box – a cute & easy project!

  August 11, 2022

  ---

  Marilyn brought this adorable little treat basket to our Flowerbug's Team gathering a few months ago.  I can't believe I haven't shared it here yet! 

  She used the Sweet Songbirds stamp set & punch bundle to make it.  See this bundle here. 

  Save

  Isn't it cute!?  She stamped the nests in Soft Suede ink onto Soft Suede card stock and fussy cut them out – one for the front and one for the back. 

  Save

  The box is made with a 3 1/4" square of Soft Suede card stock. Score at 1" on all sides. Cut up on four of the score lines to form your box.  Glue the 2 fussy cut nests on the front & back. It fits a few wrapped chocolates inside.  

  *Tip; before you form your basket, stamp a greeting on the bottom panel if you wish.  Smart! 

  Save

  She stamped the greeting on a strip of Crumb Cake card stock and curled it around a toothpick. It's glued behind the bird. 

  The bird is punched using the Bird Builder punch from Real Red card stock.  She sponged around the edges slightly to accent the wing etc.  The belly is in White and is also punched out.  

  Save

  It's just the sweetest little treat!  Thank you Marilyn!
