Today I’m sharing a card I made for my recent Kindest Expressions Card Sampler. I made the card using Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper (DSP), the Kindest Expressions stamp set, Deckled Circles Dies and Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock for the base of my card.Then I added a piece of Perennial Lavender DSP (floral design) to another piece of Perennial Lavender DSP (purple design). Before adhering it to the front of the card, I cut another piece of Perennial Lavender (purple design) and adhered it to the middle and then adhered the entire piece to the front.
I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamp set, Kindest Expressions. I cut it out using the Deckled Circles Dies and then cut a larger circle out of Gorgeous Grape cardstock using the same dies. I layered the sentiment to the Gorgeous Grape, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card. To complete my card, I added three Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

Mystery Boxes
What’s a Mystery Box?
A Mystery Box is filled with retired products that I’d like to give to a new home. I’ve been a demonstrator for almost 15 years so you can just imagine how much I have! I have Medium Rate Flat Rate USPS shipping boxes stuffed with retired Stampin’ Up! product.The boxes contain stamps, dies, ribbon, embellishments and more! The boxes are already sealed and every box will be different and a mystery as to what’s inside! The value of each box is well over $200.
All of the products in the Mystery Boxes have retired but some have never been used, some are used and all are “as is”. Some of the stamp sets are wood mount.
You can place an order HERE.
