Shannon West from the Stampin’ Up! offices recently sent me a lovely card to help me celebrate a milestone in Career Sales. Here is the fun card she sent me:

So I had some fun deconstructing her card and creating one of my own using the soon-to-be-retired Lovely You Stamp Set, found in the SU! Annual Catalog. Here’s my card:

The ribbon unties to open up a blank inner section:

The measurements are as follows:

• 3” circle, then one punch from 2 1/2” circle punch, or one size smaller circle
• Folded Card Portion:  7” by 5 1/4”, scored at 4”
• White inside panel: 3 7/8” by 5 1/8”
• Strip of DSP:  5 1/8”
• Back panel:  5 1/2 by 4 1/4”
• Front DSP: 2 7/8” by 5 1/8”

The two pieces of ribbon were glued between layers of the card on the left before adhering the DSP onto the top, and the two layers of the circles, using Tear and Tape to make sure it’s good and sticky!

This stamp set is worth adding to your collection, and it’s only available for a limited time. Every sentiment is so sweet and pretty!

It’s time to get ready to say goodbye to our beautiful 2020-22 In Colors. Which do you love the most? I have to say that with the promise of a Color Refresh, I HOPE that Soft Succulent stays around as one of the regular permanent colors. How about you? Any you can’t live without?

That being said, if you REALLY love one of the In Colors above, NOW is the time to stock up on inks, papers, ink refills, or anything else related to that color, because believe me, everything will go fast, and when it’s gone, it’s gone!

That being said again…..If you love great deals, then the Last Chance Products Sale is the perfect time to shop! Starting on April 4, you will get deep discounts on your favorite retiring products! More details to come!

The Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Papers, found in the Online Exclusives section at stampinup.com, are so beautiful, from the Flirty Flamingo papers I featured in my last post to the rich colors of Pretty Peacock in this card. (Don’t forget, Pretty Peacock is coming back with our Color Refresh in May)!

I used three different patterns in this lovely blue-green shade. I love how they all work together! These papers have a beautiful soft look, and some give the impression of the Emboss Resist technique.

Thanks to Brian King at stampwithbrian.com for the inspiration and layout of this fun card. I started out with a Basic White card base, cut at 4 1/4 by 11″, scored at 5 1/2″. Here are the rest of the measurements:

• Basic White Panels: 4 3/4″ by 2″, 4″ by 3 1/2″
• Hello, Irresistible Panels: 5 1/4″ by 4″, 4 5/8″ by 1 7/8″, 3 7/8″ by 3 3/8″
• Pretty Peacock — a scrap large enough for the Circle Punch of your choice
• Fine Shimmer Paper — enough to die cut a butterfly

I adhered the panels together and then adhered to the card front. I popped the circle up with Stampin’ Dimensionals, and then added the butterfly with glue dots. I finished with some pretty Iridescent Flat Pearls.

Don’t forget, the Hello, Irresistible 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper is part of the recent Online Exclusives offering – and it is GORGEOUS! GET IT NOW! 🙂

I finally had a chance to create using the designer series papers receiving rave reviews: The Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Papers, found in the Online Exclusives section at stampinup.com. Here’s my project! Keep scrolling for the instructions on how to make this yourself!

These papers have a beautiful soft look, and some give the impression of the Emboss Resist technique. But you don’t have to do anything — just use these lovely papers, and the effect is gorgeous!

Thanks to Sue Vine at Miss Pink Craft Spot for the inspiration for my card. I started out with a Basic White card base, cut at 5 1/2 by 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. I cut another Basic White panel at 5 1/2 by 4 1/4″ and ran it through the Cut and Emboss Machine using the Cane Weave Embossing Folder. I then took the second largest die from the Deckled Rectangles Dies and positioned it to make a diagonal cut across the embossed panel, like so:

Next, I trimmed the bottom portion of the embossed piece straight across the bottom so there was a bigger gap between the two white panels in order for more DSP to show through.

I then cut a panel of DSP at 4 1/4 by 4″ or so to adhere in the middle of the card front. Then I added the two embossed panels to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals to give it some dimension.

Lastly, I stamped a sentiment in Flirty Flamingo from the Ginkgo Branch Stamp Set onto a white scrap and punched it out using the Lovely Label Pick a Punch. I LOVE this for quick and easy sentiments! I added some Iridescent Rhinestones and White Baker’s Twine to finish it off!
