Stampin’ Up! is releasing a new suite of products early! You don’t have to wait until June to order new products. The Share What You Love Suite is available to order tomorrow! Actually it will be available May 1-31, 2018. There are three different versions of the bundle, one for each type of stamper. Check out the full brochure for more details.
Here’s a video from Stampin’ Up! about the Share What You Love suite:
Here’s what we made:
This was one of the Make & Takes at Onstage a few weeks ago.
Here’s what we did:
Cut and Scored with a Stampin’ Trimmer:
Mint Macaron cardstock (CS) cut to 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, then scored in half at 4-1/4″
Vellum CS layer cut to 3″ x 4″
Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) layer cut to 3″ x 4″
Whisper White CS cut to 2-3/4″ x 1-1/2:
DSP strip cut to 3-1/2″ x 3’4″
Stamped with the Love What You Do stamp set:
sentiment in Soft Suede ink onto the Whisper White CS piece
various twigs in Mint Macaron ink onto the front of the card base
Cut with the Detailed Trio Punch:
round the corners of the sentiment
Assembled the card:
burnished the fold in the card base using a Bone Folder
Vellum layer adhered to the front of the card base using Snail adhesive
DSP layer adhered to the Vellum layer using Snail
Pearlized Doily adhered to the DSP layer using Snail
DSP strip adhered to the DSP layer and doily using Snail
ribbon adhered to the DSP strip using Snail
sentiment adhered over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals, being careful to put Dimensionals along the top and bottom to make a little “tunnel” for the ribbon
3 Share What You Love Artisan Pearls in Rich Razzleberry applied to the card on the DSP pieces (Oops, I took this photo before I added the pearls.)
Today’s project is made with several retiring products: World’s Best Trophy stamp set, Archival Basic Black ink pad, and card stock in Chocolate Chip, Pink Pirouette, and Soft Sky. Chocolate Chip is the perfect reddish brown color for a cigar. I wrapped it around large rolls of Sweetarts candies. The cigar bands are strips of card stock with 1″ punched circles. I didn’t have a stamp set that included “boy,” although there are a few that have the word “girl.” So I used the “son” and “daughter” from the World’s Best Trophy stamp set. These make great party favors for a baby shower. You can change the band color and sentiment for any occasion.
You can see everything that is retiring HERE. Everything is available through May 31, or while supplies last.
