Florals In Bloom

Thursday, August 28, 2025

Today's card is a fun fold inspired by Patty Bennett

It is called a Double Triangle Fold Card

This card was a big hit at the Come Stamp With Me Tuesday Class

Products used are the FLORALS IN BLOOM 12x12 DSP and the PRETTY FLORALS DIES. The sentiment comes from WITH YOU IN MIND

The beautiful PRETTY IN PINK & STRAWBERRY SLUSH DOTS really add a nice glitz to your card.

This paper is gorgeous! and it is on sale right now for 15% off through the end of the month.

New kit coming September 3rd!! You're going to love this!!

Cute cards and a desk organizer!

        

  • Want in on a good deal from me?
    When I went to North Carolina in March, where I (plus 3 of my team members) attended the OnStage yearly Stampin' Up! event, I was encouraged and challenged all at the same time because we learned about some changes that Stampin' Up! is making. 

    The challenge that I came away with for myself is to reach my $300,000 in sales by the end of September. 
    If I do I will get to walk the stage and be recognized for this accomplishment at the 2026 OnStage event in Long Beach, CA (not that I really like walking the stage, but it really is an accomplishment)

    What does this mean for you, and why am I telling you this?
    I will need to increase my sales each month and that is where you come in
    I am asking you to place your orders with me, and in return I will offer you the listed price of all products. 

    If you place your order (after April 15th) online you will start receiving a 10% reward on all orders $20 or more, that you can claim on your next order (this all starts April 15th) - therefore, I cannot offer the catalog price. BUT... if you order with me directly I am able to offer you this discount. (I have no control over the online orders) 

    BUT... I will reward your order according to the amount you order with a product that I will ship to you. (an embellishment, ribbon, etc.) I cannot list what it will be because of the fact that items go on the unorderable list, etc.

    For example... If you place an online order of $75.00 I will send you a product valued at $7.50

    If you order directly from me I can issue you the discount immediately.

    ALL ORDERS will help me achieve this goal

    This is how the new rewards program will work:
    You can accumulate your rewards for a full 12 months and then you will have some extra "cash" to buy more product!!
    Whatever rewards you earn on your purchase can also be redeemed on your next order, you do not need to accumulate!

    I still ask that you will please choose me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator as this will still help out my small business

    Thank you so very much! 

    FOR EVERY ORDER PLACED IN AUGUST, I WILL PUT YOUR NAME INTO A DRAWING AND THE WINNER WILL RECEIVE THE FRAMED SCENES BUNDLE A $38.50 VALUE

Prairie Grass

Wednesday, August 27, 2025

Today's card is another example of how easy it is to make a simple card with the THOUGHTFUL JOURNEY Designer Paper. I'm so glad that Stampin' Up! brought this back into our designer paper line up. 

The designer paper is cut 4-1/4"" x 5-1/2" to put on the front of a Thick basic white card stock that is cut 11" x 4-1/4" scored at 5-1/2"

I stamped the PRAIRIE GRASS images in Black ink then used the TEXTURED NOTES DIES to cut out a rectangle before adhering it to the card front, then after I stamped my sentiment I attached the rectangle right back into the empty spot created using Stampin' Dimensionals.

I had a 1-3/4" x 6" strip of DSP left over and this particular print in the Thoughtful Journey DSP has this print on the opposite side

I backed the strip with a 2" wide piece of Cajun Craze

This is adhered to the front of a Petal Pink Card Base 11" x 4-1/4" that I embossed with the FERN Embossing Folder (retired).

For the sentiment I used SIMPLY SAID stamp set, Cajun Craze Ink (onto a scrap of Basic White card stock) and then cut out using a circle die from SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE, popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The CAJUN CRAZE & GOLD DOTS are a sneak peek because they are going to be released in the upcoming September to December Mini Catalog 

The perks of being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is that we can pre-order products one month in advance, giving us a little head start on our projects, and planning for classes, etc.

Not one single piece of Designer Paper was wasted making these two cards out of one 6x6 sheet, because there was a 1/2" x 4-1/4" that I put on the inside of the card. I love it when that works out!

This card was inspired by Jo Anne Hewins
