Tasteful Touches - You Are the Best


Each month, I do a swap with other Stampin' Up! demonstrators in the United States.  The theme was "New Catalog Swaps" so this is one of the new stamp sets that I ordered from the new catalog.  I love all the label dies that come with it as a Bundle to save 10%.   The new double sided tape Stampin' Seal is a lot stronger than the Snail Adhesive that Stampin' Up! used to have.  It holds a lot more too (16.4 yds. compared to 13.1 yds.) and just a dollar more.  They also carry Stampin' Seal + which is even stronger but great for 3-D projects and the same 16.4 yds.

The Big Shot is retired right now, but a newer version in the catalog is called Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine which will be available to customers September 1. There is also a Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine but we don't know when it will be available yet.   As a demonstrator, I will be able to preorder the new Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine in August.  
For the month of June right now, there is a special.  If you love Stampin' Up! and want to get a discount even if it's just for your hobby, you can sign up this month for $99 and get $125 worth of product plus you get to choose a FREE BUNDLE of your choice from the catalog with your Starter Kit.   I'd love to have you join my team!

Celebrate Sunflowers - Early Espresso

When I was able to view the preorder for demos, the stamp set "Celebrate Sunflowers" was one of the first stamp sets I fell in love with.  I've made a few cards with it, and although this is the third card I've made using this set, I decided to post it first.  This set can be purchased as a bundle because it has Sunflower Dies to go with it.  

My instructions are as follows for making this card:

Stamp Set:  Celebrate Sunflowers #152517
Cardstock:  Early Espresso #119686, Bumble Bee #153077, Whisper White, 2020-2022 In-Color DSP #153070
Ink:  Early Espresso #147114
Other:  Die Cutting Machine, Sunflower Dies #152704, 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots #152480, Multipurpose Glue #110755, Dimensionals, #104430

1.     The base of the card is Early Espresso cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 4-1/4” in the middle.
2.    The second layer is 2” x 4-1/4” of the Bumble Bee In-Color DSP.  Ink up the sentiment “Thanks a Bunch” with Early Espresso ink and stamp in the lower right side of the DSP.  Add three Cinnamon Cider Enamel Dots to the left.  Adhere to the bottom base of the card with Multipurpose Glue.
3.    Die cut the base of the flower from the Bumble Bee In-Color DSP using the Sunflower Dies.  Then die cut the detailed overly sunflower from Early Espresso cardstock.  Use Multipurpose Glue to adhere over the sunflower base.  Put Dimensionals on the back and adhere to the top of the card.
