Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. What do you have planned for today? I’ll be at work and of course it’s the first warmer day we’re having. It’s actually supposed to be in the low 80’s. It is going to be a busy day selling gardening supplies and clean up.

Today’s card is yellow. How many of you know how much I do not really like yellow? Every once in a while, I like to challenge myself to use something I’m not a fan of. Today I challenged myself to use yellow. Do you ever challenge yourself to use something you don’t like? I hate to admit it, but I like the way the card came out. If you’d like to see a quick video on how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! You Are Remarkable Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the Floral Delight Designer Series Paper for my CAS card today.

Adhere a panel of Floral Delight DSP to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered panel to a Daffodil Delight card base using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from You Are Remarkable stamp set in early Espresso Ink. Stamp the solid daisy image from the You Are Remarkable stamp set in Daffodil Delight Ink 3 times on the panel. Stamp the solid stem/leaves image from the You Are Remarkable stamp set in Old Olive Ink on the daisies. Stamp the flower centers in Basic Beige Ink. Stamp the splatter image from You Are Remarkable stamp set in Basic Beige Ink around the flowers.

Adhere the artwork to an Early Espresso mat using Stampin’ Seal. Adhere the layered artwork to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few Tiny Bee Trinkets to the card front using Liquid Glue.

On a panel of Basic White, stamp the sentiment from the You Are Remarkable stamp set in early Espresso Ink. Stamp the solid daisy image from the You Are Remarkable stamp set in Daffodil Delight on the panel. Stamp the solid stem/leaves image in Old Olive Ink. Stamp the flower center and splatter images in Basic Beige Ink. Stamp the tiny flying bee image from the You Are Remarkable stamp set in Early Espresso ink. Adhere the Basic White panel to an Early Espresso mat then to the inside of the Daffodil Delight card base.

decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to finish the card. Stamp the daisy, stem and flower center images from the You Are Remarkable stamp set on the envelope front the same as for the card. Adhere a panel of Floral Delight 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!!

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!

Do you struggle with different ways to use all your Designer Series Paper? Tara and I are teaming up for a Zoom class to show you 6 different cards using just Designer Series Paper and a Sentiment. Of course, we’ll add embellishments and maybe ribbon or twine, but this class will primarily be using DSP. We have picked a pack of DSP with all the new 2025-2027 In-Colors and that’s what we will be focusing on. You can see the DSP starting on page 40 of the 2025-2026 Annual Catalog. The class will be held on Sunday May 18th from 1pm-5pm ET. The best part is you can earn this class absolutely FREE. You will cut all the cardstock and DSP of your choice prior to the class so you are ready to go. We will NOT be cutting up cardstock or DSP the day of the event. You will choose the color cardstock and your favorite DSP to use from what you purchase. Please remember to order early so that you receive it on time to prep for the class.

When you Sign Up for the class, I will send you the complete PDF the week before the class so that you can cut up the color cardstock of your choice and the Designer Series Paper of your choice. Everyone’s card will be unique since you will pick your favorite designs of DSP and color cardstock.

The class will be held on Zoom and anyone in the United States is welcome to purchase the class and join us! If you are unable to join us for the live event, but would still like to participate in the class, we will be recording the session so you can watch the replay any time and make the cards. We will also be emailing written tutorials with instructions and cardstock cuts so that you will have a reference too.

Class Cost: This class is FREE to customers who make the purchase through my Online Store.

If you are a Demonstrator and would like to attend the class and get the PDF, there will be a $20 charge that will be billed through PayPal. I know you would like to purchase the products yourself getting your discount but still would like to attend.
