Today’s card features a sneak peek of a Sale-a-Bration free gift you can earn with a $100 order beginning on August 3rd! There are eight different products you will be able to earn with a $50 purchase and two that you can earn with a $100 purchase and there’s no limit to how many products you can earn!
The sneak peek product I used is the Summer Shadows Dies (I can’t share a picture until these dies go live on August 3rd) and they coordinate with our Shaded Summer stamp set in the Annual Catalog. During this round of Sale-a-Bration, some products will only be available while supplies last. The Summer Shadows Dies are one of three products with a limited supply so once they’re available on August 3rd, you’ll want to grab your set as soon as you can.
I started with a base of Highland Heather cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I placed inside the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder and ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (you’ll need to use our Specialty Plate when using our 3D embossing folders). Using the Scalloped Contours Dies I cut a rectangle out of Basic White cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink using the Artistically Inked stamp set. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the embossed Basic White cardstock.
On another piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the flower image from the Shaded Summer stamp set using Memento Ink. Because I wanted a good solid image, I used my Stamparatus to stamp the image. I die cut the flowers (using the Summer Shadows Dies – available August 3rd) before coloring them because I didn’t want to make a mistake cutting them out after taking the time to color them. Then I colored the image using my Stampin’ Blends: Highland Heather, Granny Apple Green and Daffodil Delight. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the scalloped rectangle.
To complete the card, I added three 2021-2023 In Color Jewels in Fresh Freesia.

All orders $50 or more TOMORROW will ship FREE!!
Todays card features the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle which includes the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and the Penned Flowers Dies. I also used the Scalloped Contours Dies.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I embossed two pieces of Poppy Parade cardstock with the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders and then adhered these pieces to the Thick Basic White cardstock. I cut a scalloped rectangle out of Basic White cardstock using the Scalloped Contours Dies and then stamped the sentiment in Memento ink in the lower left-hand corner.
The flowers were stamped onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Memento Ink and the stamp set Hand-Penned Petals (when you use Stampin’ Blends, you always want to stamp your image using Memento Ink). I colored them using the Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack and the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blends Combo Pack. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the flowers and adhered it to the scalloped rectangle. This is a pretty quick and easy card to make!

Potpourri Card Sampler
My Potpourri Card Sampler is now available but only for a limited time!
Free shipping on orders $50 or more, tomorrow, June 24th!
My Card Samplers give you the chance to “sample” different products. You are able to see our Designer Series Paper, cardstock, embossed paper, die cuts and embellishments “in person” as you assemble the cards. Usually all three cards have one product in common but this Sampler was made using a variety of products so I called it Potpourri!
Place a minimum $50 order (before shipping/tax) at my Stampin’ Up! online store using the host code VREDTDDM and as a thank you, you’ll receive my Potpourri Card Sampler which includes 6 card kits (2 each of three different designs) with envelopes and a PDF Tutorial with instructions, pictures and a supply list. You’ll receive all the paper and embellishments needed to make the cards and all the paper will be cut, scored and die cut for you (you’ll need to supply your own adhesive, ink and stamp set). If your order is $150 or more, please do not use the host code so you can earn Stampin’ Rewards (free product) directly from Stampin’ Up! After placing your order, please contact me to let me know you’d like the Potpourri Card Sampler (you only need to contact me if your order is $150 or more). If I don’t hear from you, I’ll assume you’d like my regular card kits. The last day this offer will be available is Saturday, June 26, 2021. For all the details, please click here.

Today’s card features the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle which includes the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set and the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. These two products are in the new Annual Catalog but the bundle will only be available until June 30th (bundles always save you 10%).
The inspiration for my card came right from the Annual Catalog on page 33. I made a few changes but if you’re ever stuck for an idea, browse through the catalog! It’s a great resource!
I started with a base of Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). Next, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that I partially embossed using one of the Checks & Dots Embossing Folders. In the Supply List, I listed the big Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine but these smaller embossing folders WILL fit in the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
After embossing, I stamped the sentiment in Polished Pink ink using the stamp set, In Bloom and then adhered this piece to the Designer Series Paper. On Basic White cardstock, I stamped the cones in Crumb Cake and Early Espresso ink. The scoops were stamped in Pale Papaya and Polished Pink ink. Both the cones and scoops were cut out using the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch. I glued the cones down onto the embossing paper but added Stampin’ Dimensionals to each scoop of ice cream.
To complete the card, I added five Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins.

If you like cute animals, you’re going to love the stamp set, Count on Me, which is what I used for today’s card along with the Animal Print Embossing Folder.
I started with a piece a Thick Basic White cardstock and then added a layer of Balmy Blue cardstock. Next, I added a layer of Basic White cardstock that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Animal Print Embossing Folder.
I cut a circle out of Basic White cardstock using the Layering Circles Dies and cut a larger, scalloped circle out of Balmy Blue cardstock. On the Basic White circle, I stamped the sentiment towards the bottom of the circle using Memento Ink and then stamped the koalas above it, also using Memento Ink. I colored the koalas using my Gray Granite Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the Basic White circle to the Balmy Blue scalloped circle and then added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added five Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins. I love the sparkle they add to the card! You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

July – December 2021 Mini Catalog & July – August Sale-a-Bration
There’s been a change in plans for the release of the July – December 2021 Mini Catalog and July – August Sale-a-Bration. When Stampin’ Up! realized they were not likely to receive the majority of product inventory for these two catalogs due to world-wide shipping problems, they made the difficult decision to delay the start of the new catalog and the Sale-a-Bration promotion (yes, this year we will have TWO Sale-a-Brations!). The July-December Mini Catalog will go live on August 3rd and Sale-a-Bration will also begin on this date!
If you’ve made a purchase from me in the last six months, I will be sending you a complimentary copy of both the July – December 2021 Mini Catalog and the July – August Sale-a-Bration brochure. They will be coming directly from Stampin’ Up! and both publications will ship in early July. Something to look forward to!!

Today’s card features the Sweet Strawberry Bundle which includes the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and the Strawberry Builder Punch. This bundle was on backorder for months but it’s back in stock and just in time for summer!
I started with a piece of Real Red cardstock and then added a layer of Basic White that I ran through the Stampin’ Cut Emboss Machine using the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. Then I added a narrow piece of Real Red cardstock with another layer of Basic White that I also embossed.
Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and stamped the sentiment in Memento Ink in the lower right-hand corner using the Sweet Strawberry stamp set. Using the same dies, I cut a larger rectangle out of Real Red cardstock and layered the two together. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
I used two stamps to stamp the strawberry. The first one is the actual strawberry that I inked up with Real Red ink. The second stamp outlines the strawberry and adds the seeds. I used Garden Green ink to stamp the green part (I googled the actual name of this leafy green part and it’s called the calyx but I’m sticking to “the green part”) of the strawberry and then cut both the strawberry and green part out with the Strawberry Builder Punch. I added several Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the top strawberry.
To complete the card, I added three Elegant Faceted Gems to the front of the card and added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.
