Stampin’ Up! Decorative Trees

Good Tuesday morning stamping friends. How has everyone’s week started off. I’m trying to get back into a normal routine again after being away. It was nice being away for a few days and not having to do a thing except make cards and socialize.

Today’s card is one that we made at the retreat, it was designed by Amy Koenders our team leader. This is one of those perfect cards to make if you have scraps laying around. Here’s my card for today.

Today’s card is one that we made on Tuesday night at our Stamping Studio during mystery stamping. All of our cards were similar, but also different.

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 NameItem # 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

You will receive one 6X6 sheet of each design from the following DSP packs (the number after the name indicates how many 6×6 sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  • Nests of Winter (6)
  • Regal Winter (6)
  • Regal Distressed Patterns (3)
  • Reindeer Days (6)
  • Season of Elegance (6)
  • Sentimental Christmas (6)
  • Snowy Scenes (6)
  • A Little Bit Festive (3)
  • Festive Glimmer (3)
  • Splendid Autumn 6X6 (12)
  • Take A Bow 6X6 (4)

In all, you’ll receive 61 – 6” X 6” sheets of designer or specialty paper!

Double DSP Share – $42.00 + $9.00 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too!  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.

New Ribbon Share – $17.00 plus $9.00 Priority Mail Shipping

All ribbons will come individually wrapped and labeled with the name and number of the product. Please note that ribbons are being divided differently, you will be getting one fourth of a roll of each of the Ribbons.
