Beauty of Friendship Card Class

Fall is coming, and I have a beautiful fall-themed class to share with you today! It features the Beauty of the Earth Suite, and after working with it, I think this is one of the prettiest suites in this year's catalog. Here's a peek at the cards:

 

In this card class through the mail, you'll make 12 cards featuring Stampin' Up!'s Beauty of the Earth Suite. The class kit will include a half package of Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper, a Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, a package of Sequins for Everything, and the cardstock and envelopes to create your cards. You'll also receive a PDF tutorial with the instructions for assembling the cards.
You will need the Beauty of Friendship Bundle to complete your cards. Option #1 includes this bundle (stamp set & dies). You will also need the following inks: Night of Navy, Early Espresso, and Old Olive. You may add these on to your kit if you'd like. I recommend these adhesives for assembling your cards: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, and Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
The deadline to register for this class is Tuesday, August 10. Class kits will ship to you by August 20.

Here are the options for purchasing:
*Option #1* ($101) This option includes the Beauty of Friendship Bundle (stamps & dies), a half package of Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper, a Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, a package of Sequins for Everything, and the cardstock and envelopes to create your cards. You'll also receive a PDF tutorial with the instructions for assembling the cards.
*Option #2* ($40) This option includes everything listed above except for the Beauty of Friendship Bundle.
*Option #3* ($15) This option includes the tutorial only.

And the best part? If you choose Option #1, you'll also earn Sale-a-bration rewards!

Happy Stamping!

#GDP300: To the Coolest Friend Ever

Today's card is a special treat. I thought I could resist sharing new stuff with you for at least for another week, but I have no willpower...

I am playing along with the challenge at Global Design Project this week, and I also created this card for a color challenge in the training group I'm a part of. Two birds with one stone is my motto most days. Here is the challenge from GDP:

 

And the colors I used were Fresh Freesia, Gray Granite, and Soft Sea Foam (with a little Pumpkin Pie on the side). 

 

Is this not the cutest little penguin you have ever seen?! This stamp set and builder punch will be coming in the brand new July-December Mini Catalog, and that pretty paper on the sides is a coordinating paper found in the Sale-a-bration brochure. The paper is to DIE for! The sequins are also a new item. 

 

You can get your hands on these new products starting on August 3, but if you'd like them sooner, you can add them to a starter kit today. (Psst... demonstrators are also getting an extra month of Sale-a-bration right now, so bonus!)

 

Here is a full list of products used on this card (and remember - many of these are not yet available to customers).

Stamps: Penguin Place

Ink: Fresh Freesia, Gray Granite, Pumpkin Pie, Soft Sea Foam

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Fresh Freesia, Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper

Embellishments: Subtle Shimmer Sequins

Tools: Blending Brushes, Penguin Builder Punch, Versamark, White Embossing Powder, Heat Tool

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Happy Stamping!

You Are Amazing: In Color Cards

Welcome back! I have a collection of cards to share with you today featuring the Color & Contour Bundle. I'm sure by now you have seen the new 2021-2023 In Colors. Stampin' Up! always does a good job of picking on trend colors to introduce each year, and this year's are no exception. I paired the colors with this amazing bundle - take a look!

 

The paper you see peeking out on the edge of these cards comes from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper pack (on sale this month!). This paper coordinates with the Pansy Patch Bundle, and includes all of the new in colors.

 

I copied my card design in all five of the new colors. Which one do you like the best?

 

Evening Evergreen

 

Fresh Freesia

 

Pale Papaya

 

Polished Pink

 

Soft Succulent

 

The Color & Contour Bundle is really fun to create with! I love the dies and have used them a lot already, but the stamps are great too. The flower stamp that I used on these cards is fun and bold, and it's probably my favorite stamp in the set.

If you'd like to recreate these cards, here is a full list of the products I used:

Stamps: Color & Contour

Ink: Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent

Paper: Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink, Soft Succulent, Basic White, Pansy Petals DSP

Embellishments: 2021-2023 In Color Jewels, Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon, Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon, Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon, Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon, Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon
