Stampin’ Up! I Say Hello

Hello there!

Today’s card is all about the new 2019-2021 In Color, Seaside Spray. When you purchase a package of the 2019-2021 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper, you’ll receive all five colors (Seaside Spray, Rococo Rose, Pretty Peacock, Purple Posy and Terracotta Tile) in four different designs.

All of the new In Colors have a coordinating ribbon and I used the Seaside Spray Scalloped Linen Ribbon. It’s so pretty in person! Another new product I used is the stamp set, I Say Hello

I Say Hello Stampin' Up!

After I made the card I wondered what it might look like if I had incorporated Crumb Cake into the card (taking the cue from the ribbon) and used it as the base instead of Whisper White. That’s another variation to try!

Directions to Make Today’s Card

All the products I used are in the Supply List below. Simply click any of the images and you’ll be directed to my online store. 

  • Cut a piece of thick Whisper White cardstock that measures 11″ x 4-1/4″.  Score at 5-1/2″ and fold in half.  This will be your card base.
  • Cut a piece of Seaside Spray cardstock that measures 5-1/4″ x 4″.  Place inside the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder and run it through a die-cutting machine.
  • Cut a piece of 2019-2021 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (DSP) that measures 2″ x 5-1/4″ and glue it to the bottom part of the embossed Seaside Spray piece.  Wrap a piece of Scalloped Linen Ribbon around the middle of the card where the DSP and cardstock meet. Add a small amount of Snail on the back of the card and place the ends of the ribbon there to adhere it. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals all over the back (I also placed them on the edge of the card where the ribbon is) and attach to the front of the card.
  • Stamp the sentiment in Seaside Spray ink using the stamp set, I Say Hello.  Cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Dies and a die-cutting machine.  Cut another, larger square in Seaside Spray cardstock.  Layer the two together using Snail.  Attach Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and place on the card.
  • For a finishing touch, add three rhinestones to the front of the card.

Bloom & Grow Bundle


Bloom & Grow

 

Today’s card uses five new products (and one new bundle) from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog:

First up is the stamp set, Bloom & Grow.  If you love flowers, you’re going to love this set (plus it includes some great sentiments)! All of the images are perfect for coloring and then you can cut them out using the coordinating Budding Bloom Dies. These two products are also bundled together so if you want to purchase both, be sure to use the bundle item number so you’ll save 10%!

Bloom & Grow Bundle

 

To color the flowers, I stamped the flower image onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink.  Then I used both the Light & Dark Purple Posy AND Light & Dark Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends to color the flowers and leaves.  You always want to use Memento Ink when using our Stampin’ Blends or you’ll find the ink will bleed.

Once I cut the image out with the Budding Blooms Dies, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attached it to the front of the card. 

Bloom & Grow Bundle

Each year Stampin’ Up! introduces five new colors that are available for two years.  I used one of these new colors, Purple Posy on my card today! Sometimes when photographing my cards, some of the colors appear darker than they actually are.  The color swatch below of Purple Posy is a better indication of the true color. 

 

 

Directions for Today’s Card

  • Cut a piece of Thick Whisper White cardstock that measures 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″.  Score at 4-1/4″ and fold in half. This will be your card base.
  • Cut a piece of Purple Posy cardstock that measures 5-1/4″ x 4″ and attach to the base of the card.
  • Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 5″ x 3-3/4″.  Run it through a die-cutting machine using the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder.  Attach to the front of the card.
  • Stamp the flowers from the stamp set, Bloom & Grow, onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Ink. Color it using Purple Posy & Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends. Cut it out using the Budding Blooms Dies. Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attach to the front of the card.
  • Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 3-1/2″ x 7/8″.  Stamp the sentiment using Memento Ink.
  • Cut a piece of Purple Posy cardstock that measures 1-1/8″ x 3-3/4″. Attach the sentiment to the front using Snail adhesive.  Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and attach to the front of the card.

Commonly Asked Questions

If I purchase the Starter Kit, do I have to sell Stampin’ Up! products to my family and friends? No, you are under NO obligation to sell.  You can be your only customer.  Of course once your friends see the cute cards you’re making, they’ll want to buy their stamping supplies from you. 

Will I receive a discount on any products I buy?  Yes!! This is the best part! You’ll receive at least a 20% discount on all your purchases.  

Do I have to buy/sell a certain amount of product?  The quarterly minimum is $300 in product (which is only $240 after your discount!) that can be from your own orders, online orders or ones from family and friends. The quarters are January – March, April – June, July – September, October – December.  Once you join, your quarterly minimum begins during your first FULL quarter so if you were to join today (end of June), you’d have until the end of September before your quarterly minimum is due. 

What if I can’t make the quarterly minimum? You’ll simply be dropped.  No one will hassle you. No one will bother you. It truly is risk free to purchase the Starter Kit!

Create Flowers Using the Hot Air Balloon Punch

Happy Monday! 

Today I want to share a video from Stampin’ Up! showing how to make beautiful paper flowers using the brand new Hot Air Balloon Punch and the Good Morning Magnolia Bundle which includes the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and Magnolia Memories Dies. Before watching the video, when looking at the hot air ballon punch all I saw was a hot air balloon but now I see petals! Don’t you love it when you can use a product in a way you hadn’t thought of?
