Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to the new week. How was your weekend? Did anyone do anything fun? I stayed in most of the day yesterday except to take my pup for a walk. The sun didn’t come out until after 4pm and it was just a gloomy day.

I have a sneak peek for you today using some beautiful new DSP and 2 new stamp sets coming on May 6th from the Annual Catalog. I let the DSP do most of the work for me today. 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! Beautiful Motifs Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Beautiful Gallery 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper, Damask Designs Embossing Folder and Stampin’ Up! Gallery Blooms Photopolymer Stamp Set for my card today.

Emboss 2 panels of the Beautiful Gallery DSP using the Damask Designs EF. Adhere the 1 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ panel to the left side of the Mossy Meadow card front using Liquid Glue.

Adhere the panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to the front of the Mossy Meadow card base using Stampin’ Seal. On a panel of Very Vanilla, stamp the sentiment from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink. Adhere the sentiment to a Mossy Meadow mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the sentiment to the card front, hanging over the edge, using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Tie a small bow using thew Basic Beige 3/8″ Classic Ribbon and adhere it to the panel of DSP using a Glue Dot. Add a Pressed Flower Motifs embellishment to the sentiment.

Adhere the 1″ panel of embossed Beautiful Gallery DSP to the inside right edge of the Mossy Meadow card base using Liquid Glue.

Stamp the sentiment from Beautiful Motifs stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on a panel of Very Vanilla. Stamp the large flower image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off 2 times on scrap paper, over the sentiment. Adhere a strip of Beautiful Gallery DSP to the bottom of the panel. Adhere the Very Vanilla panel to a Mossy Meadow mat then to the inside of the Mossy Meadow card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the large flower image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, on the envelope front. Stamp the small flower bud image from the Gallery Blooms stamp set in Mossy Meadow Ink on the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like my card, and you have this suite on your wish list for May. Happy Stamping!!

My 2025 – 2026 Annual Catalog and May Online Exclusive Designer Series Paper and Ribbon Shares are open for ordering. You can order just the DSP share, just the ribbon share or you can order both.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog, Two-Tone Cardstock Share along with the upcoming May Online Exclusives and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on May 6th 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 May 12th. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! 2025-2026 Annual Catalog and the upcoming May Online Exclusives?  What is a Paper Share you ask? It’s a sample of each of the new Designer Series Papers from the Catalog and Online Exclusives. 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 and Online Exclusives, it would cost you over $250.00 plus shipping and if you were to purchase all the ribbon it would cost you over $65.00.

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 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!
