Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to do something fun.

Today’s card is the last card that we made at our Creativity Now Event last Saturday. This one I did the way they suggested. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Splendid Thoughts Bundle along with the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Through It Together Cling Stamp Set for today’s card.

I started by embossing a Calypso Coral card front using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. Using my Blending Brush and the Craft White Ink, I brushed some ink over the bricks. I wrapped a piece of Soft Sea Foam 3/8″ Seam Binding Ribbon around the panel and tied a bow. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White Thick card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Petal Pink cardstock I stamped the eucalyptus image from the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Ink. On a panel of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, I stamped the large leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink. I cut the 2 stamped panels out using my Splendid Stems Dies. From the panel of Basic White cardstock, I cut out 4 more of the leaf dies from the Splendid Stems Dies. I cut the half-moon die from a panel of Splendid Day DSP. On the Basic White panel I stamped the sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink and fussy cut it using my Paper Snips.

On the embossed panel I adhered the die cut pieces with Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the half-moon die on the bottom of the stems using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I adhered the sentiment to the half-moon die using Glue Dots. I added a few Pearls Basic Jewels to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Through It Together stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the eucalyptus and leaf images from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set on the bottom of the panel in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the images in using my Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Calypso Coral mat and then to the inside of the Basic White Thick card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the eucalyptus and leaf images from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the images in using my Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Splendid Day DSP to the envelope flap.

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:
