Good Monday morning my stamping friends. How was everyone’s weekend? I hope you were able to do something fun. Is everyone ready for a new week? I can’t believe we’re almost to the middle of June. I’m guessing if you have children, they will be finishing up school this week and starting their summer vacation. Sometimes I miss those days.

Today’s card was one that we made at our in-person team meeting yesterday. This one was designed by one of my team member Rosie, who lives in South Dakota. We have team members all over the United States, but thanks to Zoom, we can all get together. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle along with the Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper for my double Z fold card today.

I started by adhering the foil panels of Splendid Day DSP to the coordinating Soft Sea Foam mats using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panels to the Sahara Sand card base.

I stamped the sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Soft Suede Ink on the fabric pattern Splendid Day DSP. I adhered the stamped panel to a Splendid Day DSP mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the front of the small card base. I adhered 2 die cut leaves that I cut from scraps of Soft Sea Foam and Splendid Day DSP using my Splendid Stems Dies. I added a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the small card base.

On another panel of the fabric Splendid Day DSP, I stamped the sentiment from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I adhered the stamped panel to a Splendid Day DSP mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the back panel of the small card base. I adhered 2 leaves that were cut from scraps of Soft Sea Foam and Splendid Day DSP using my Splendid Stems Dies.

On the center section of the small card base I adhered a panel of Splendid Day DSP. I adhered the small card base to the large card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue on half of the small card base front and the card base back.

On the back, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Moments Cling Stamp Set in Soft Suede Ink on a Basic White panel. I adhered the foil die cut leaf image, that I cut using my Splendid Stems Dies and a scrap of Splendid Day DSP, to the side of the panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered the Basic White panel to a Soft Sea Foam mat and then to the back of the Sahara Sand card base.

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the larger leaf image from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Soft Sea Foam Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Splendid Day Specialty DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked the card we made. The products used for this card will be available July 1st from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. Happy Stamping!!

July – December 2022 Mini Catalog Designer Series Paper Share

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

You will receive one 6×6 sheet of each design from the following DSP and specialty paper packs (the number behind the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

Double DSP Share – $58.00 + $8.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – I’ll cut the designer paper sheets into 6×12 so that you’ll be able to get 3 A2 size card fronts from each sheet (except for the Lights Aglow, Metallic & Shimmer and Real Red & White Glimmer Paper, you’ll get double sheets of those since they’re already precut).

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!
