Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? Did anyone do anything special for Father’s Day? We surprised my husband with an unexpected gift yesterday. My husband is a big Formula 1 fan. He loves watching the races. He’s not an oval or round track fan, he likes all the turns. There’s a place in south Jersey that he can go and drive a racecar on a racetrack. I booked a full package for him. He will get to drive with an experienced driver at high speeds, then he gets to drive a Farari with a passenger around the track. I’ll be in the pit watching lol. I did get the video and picture package too so I can see it later. I think he’s a bit excited about it. We’ll be going the end of August.

Before I get started with my card, I just wanted to remind everyone that TOMORROW is the day for Stampin’ Up! Free Shipping.

Today’s card is a quick one even though it’s a fun fold. There’s not much stamping going on today. I played with some new dies that I’ve had but haven’t played with yet. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Go To Greetings Cling Stamp Set along with the Designer Tags Dies and Tea Boutique 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

I started by adhering a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the front of the Orchid Oasis card base. Using the largest Designer Tags Die and the detailed flower die, I cut a panel of Orchid Oasis cardstock. Using the same large tag die, I cut a panel of Basic White cardstock. I adhered the White tag to the back of the detailed Orchid Oasis tag. I trimmed the bottom of the tag using my Paper Trimmer.

I colored a piece of the 3/8″ Metallic Edge Cotton Ribbon using my Sweet Sorbet Stampin’ Blends Markers. Once it was dried, I threaded the ribbon through the top of the tag and tied it off. I adhered the tag to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a strip of Sweet Sorbet cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with my White Embossing Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I snipped the one end into a banner using my Paper Snips. I adhered the sentiment to the tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Go To Greetings stamp set in Orchid Oasis Ink on a Basic White panel. I cut the sprig using the Designer Tags Dies from a panel of Garden Green cardstock and adhered it to the bottom of the panel. I adhered a panel of Tea Boutique DSP to the inside of the Orchid Oasis card base. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to the left of the inside of the card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Tea Boutique DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog, and I’d love to have you join in on it!!  I’m placing my share order on July 1 and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of July 11.

How shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ x 6″ pieces (or 6″ x 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!  Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs!

Here are the Designer Series Paper Shares that I am offering from the new Mini Catalog:

New Designer Series Paper Share – $29.00 plus $5.50 for First Class Mail shipping

FREE Gift From Me! – As a bonus for joining my share, you’ll also get a sampler of the Rings Of Love and Silver & Gold Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper Packs and a sampler of the Celebrate Everything host exclusive paper!
