Good Saturday morning stamping friends and welcome to the weekend. I hope you have some fun plans in the works. I’ll be working all day today and so far no plans for Sunday.

I have a super simple card for you today using a new Online Exclusive set and DSP coming next week. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sentimental Framing Photopolymer Stamp Set along with the new Beautiful Gallery 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Adhere a panel of Beautiful Gallery DSP to a Basic Gray mat. Adhere the layered panel to a Basic Beige card base.

Stamp the sentiment from Sentimental Framing stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Adhere the sentiment to a Basic Gray mat.

Adhere the sentiment to the card front. Tie a knot using the Basic Beige 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon and adhere it to the card front by the sentiment. Add a Neutral Matte Dot to the sentiment.

Stamp the sentiments from Sentimental Framing stamp set in Basic Gray Ink on a panel of Basic Beige. Adhere a strip of Beautiful Gallery DSP to a Basic Gray mat then to the bottom of the Basic Gray panel. Adhere the Basic Beige panel to a Basic Gray mat then to the inside of the Basic Beige card base.

Adhere a strip of Beautiful Gallery DSP to the envelope front and a panel of Neutral 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card, and this is on your shopping list for May 6th. 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!  

New Designer Series Paper Share – $51.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail shipping

If you’d like double shares of the designer paper or cardstock, I’m offering those too!  I’ll cut the 12″ x 12″ sheets into 6″ × 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.

Designer Series Paper Online Zoom Class

Tara Carpenter and I are super excited about offering you this Free Online Zoom Class

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.

The class requirements:

• Visit my Online Store on or after May 6th and purchase 1 pack of Florals in Bloom 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper (165175), 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Cardstock Assortment Pack (165623) and 1 pack of the 2025-2027 In-Color Flat Pearls (165192)

Once you sign up you will receive:

• Zoom class with complete step by step instructions to complete each card as we go.
• PDF with detailed directions and photos
• A Link to the recorded class after we are done so you can watch it again and make more cards.

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.

Class Sign up Deadline: Sunday May 11th at 5pm ET
