Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to the last week of August. WOW!!! That means summer is almost over, I still have 1 more month of it. It kind of makes me sad that summer is almost gone, but the good thing is Autumn is such a beautiful time of the year with all the leaves changing.
I have a fun CAS birthday card for you today using products from the annual catalog. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Bundle along with the Country Woods DSP and Wanted To Say Dies for my card today.

My design is from Freshly Made Sketches #650.

My colors are from The Color Throwdown Challenge #807. I love these soft colors.

Adhere 3 panels of Country Woods DSP to a Basic Beige mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the layered panel to a Crumb Cake card base using Liquid Glue.

Using the Wanted To Say Dies, cut the detailed sentiment from a panel of Pool Party and the mat for the sentiment from a panel of Basic Beige. Adhere the detailed sentiment to the mat using Liquid Glue. Adhere the sentiment to the center of the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

On a panel of Basic Beige, stamp the bottle image from the Stampin’ Up! Attention Shoppers Photopolymer Stamp Set in Crumb Cake Ink. Color the image using Crumb Cake and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. Cut the image out using the Attention Shopper Dies. Adhere the bottle to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Ombre Matte Decorative Dots to the card front.

On the inside, stamp the sentiments from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Stamp the cake image from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the bottom of the panel. Color the image using Crumb Cake and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Pool Party mat then to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base.

To finish the card, decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope. Stamp the cake and bottle images from the Attention Shoppers stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink on the envelope front. Color the images using Crumb Cake and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

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

September-December 2024 Mini Catalog Paper and Ribbon Shares Open for Ordering

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!! I’m placing my share order early on September 4th 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 September 9. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2024 Mini Catalog? What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. Shares give you a good working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs! If you were to purchase all of the DSP in the new Catalog, it would cost you over $135.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $60.00.
New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

How my 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 with labels listing the Name, Item # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!
New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

I’ll cut the 12″ X 12″ designer paper sheets into 6″ X 12″ so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and you’ll get double sheets of the 6″ X 6″ since they’re already precut.
