Circle Sayings – A Warm Hello Card

For this month’s card classes, the Circle Sayings Bundle from the Stampin’ Up! 2023-2024 Annual Catalog was featured. This Circle Sayings card offers a Warm Hello. The bundle includes the Circle Sayings Stamp Set, as well as, a coordinating 2-3/8″ Circle Punch. The stamp collection contains a variety of sayings that will fit within the circle punch. This makes it easy to cut out and create circular shapes for cards. Today’s card uses one of the stamps to create the background and a couple of other of the stamps from the set for the sentiment. A colorful card is easy to create using Stampin’ Blends to color and highlight the waves/sun image.

Cut Dimensions:
  • Daffodil Delight Cardstock: 5-1/2″ x 11″, score/fold at 4-1/4″ for card base, 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
  • Tahitian Tide Cardstock: 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Basic White Cardstock: 3-3/4″ x 5″; 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″

Wildlife Wonder Note Cards

Hi everyone! This week I am excited to share with you some wildlife themed cards. In a recent card class, participants prepared a collection of note cards featuring several of the wildlife stamp sets from Stampin’ Up!  So of course, Wildlife Wonder was one of the stamp sets to use.  The animals and the sentiments in the set are perfect for masculine themed cards too. Each of the animals from the stamp set became the focal point on the clean and simple cards.  These animal inspired note cards are perfect all-occasion cards.  And don’t skip the information on the October Kit To Go.  It’s in the reminders section.

Focus on Sweet Sorbet In Color

This month, the Simple Suite Stampers Creative Team is focusing on the new 2022-2024 In Colors and the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper. These products are in the Stampin’ Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalog which launched in May. The creative team consists of twelve Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from across the United States and I am honored to be a member of the group. Each month, we create a project focusing on a particular suite of products. We strive to keep the projects simple so you can complete beautiful projects in a short time frame. 

For my June project,  I chose to focus on the Sweet Sorbet In Color.  The floral background panel and the small floral panel are from the Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper.  Don’t you love that Stampin’ Up! coordinates the inks, cardstocks & designer series papers? I do! It makes designing projects so much easier!!!
