My June Paper Pumpkin (Welcome Inn) arrived earlier this week and I knew I wanted to use parts of it for this hop/ challenge. The colors of Night of Navy and Calypso Coral are such a wonderful combination. I added a background piece from the Subtles 6×6 in Calypso Coral.
As you can see, I turned the image sideways (again) to create my own version :O). The card base is from the June Paper Pumpkin kit – Night of Navy. The next layer is my addition – Subtles 6×6 in Calypso Coral (3 1/2 x 5). The floral Pattern is from the Paper Pumpkin kit as well and was added with dimensionals. The floral DSP is Countryside Inn, which this particular kit coordinates. and is 2 1/4 x 2 3/8 and adhered directly – except for the right side, which has dimensionals under it. The banner also comes from the klit and was added with dimensionals as well. The Night of Navy embellishments also come from the kit. Great alternative project, right?!
For the inside, a Calypso Coral panel 4 18 x 5 38 was adhered to the base, then the Basic White panel was stamped: Night of Navy for the vase; Old Olive for the stems and Calypso Coral for the flowers – and yes… these were in the June PP kit!
The envelope is from the June PP kit and I chose to cover the flap with more of the Subtles 6×6 DSP in Calypso Coral & trimmed it to fit. Hope you likie!
Now – on with the hop… click the next button to take you to Carol’s fun creation, or… click on a name to hop around.

Welcome to our awesome Happy Inkin’ Thursday Blog Hop! There are some fun projects to be shared to day with this sketch challenge.
I’ve chosen to use the Cheerful Daisy Stamp set and it’s coordinating Cheerful Daisy Dies. They are so great – love the layering possibilities and the texture as well. Above you see the NEW Copper Clay card base. What a beauty this paper is… The DSP is from Fresh As A Daisy and is one of the panels on the first page of the Designer Series Paper.. I attached that front piece to a Basic White panel cut to the same size (3 1/8 x 4 14). I then took a small rectangle DSP on that front panel and cut it down so it shares the stage by sticking out at each side. I adhered that to the card front, then added the two panels with dimensionals. I die cut the daisy outline in Boho Blue (NEW), then the two coordinating layers in Basic White and adhered them all together with liquid glue. I popped it up on dimensionals & added it to the card front. I cut a length of this gorgeous Texture Ribbon in Copper Clay, folded it over and added it in place with Stampin Seal+. The final touch for the front was the 2023-2025 In Colt Dots – in Boho Blue of course.
I cut a piece of Boho Blue 3 3/8 x 4 3/4 and adhered it in place on the inside of the card. I added the Basic White piece on top (3 1/4x 4 5/8).
Again the daisy has three parts: the outline is Copper Clay, the two top portions are Basic White – all adhered together and added to the inside of the card.
For the envelope… a bit of DSP on the bottom front of the envelope, to carry over a bit of the front of the card. For the flap, a different piece of Fresh As A Daisy DSP, adhered & trimmed to fit. What a fun project ~ and I loved every minute of putting it together.
Now it’s time to see what the other team members have to share. Click a link and have fun hopping

Good morning! I have a bright, cheerful card for you today. It uses retiring Rain or Shine DSP and the carrying over Playing in the Rain stamps & Dies.. You might remember that I’m making daisy cards for a couple of folks as I’m attending a convention the first weekend in May. As I was pulling retiring items I saw this adorable paper and quickly made this card.
All the DSP used for this card are from the Rain or Shine collection. I only have a bit left, which is good since it’s retiring. :o) I cut the DSP panel with the second largest of the retiring Stitched Rectangles Dies, then adhered it to a slightly larger panel of Old Olive. I took another piece of the DSP (see the raindrops strip behind), it’s 1 3/4 x 5 1/2 and adhered it to the Balmy Blue card base. The Old Olive piece is adhered, centering, with dimensionals. I die cut the turtle from one of the Designer Series Papers in this pack and adhered it with dimensionals as though he were walking through the field of flowers. I added a white bow from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack using the white twine and pulling two threads from a length to make the bow. I stamped the sentiment in Old Olive ink on a Basic White scrap and die cut it with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I cut a strip about 5/8 x 3″ from another piece of the DSP and added it to the back of the circle with Stampin’ Seal+, then attached the circle with dimensionals to the card front. I trimmed the ends of the strip after adhering it. I added three Glossy Dots to the circle for some added sparkle.
For the inside, I added a strip of Old Olive to the Basic White panel, then used another Stylish Shapes Die to cut this fun flower image and adhered it over the Old Olive strip. The panel was adhered to the inside of the card and done!
For the envelope… the backside of this particular piece of DSP is this fun check – and I adhered it to the envelope flap and trimmed to fit. For the front, I stamped the adorable daisies in Memento ink and colored with Daffodil Delight Blends. This creates a fun, cheerful card for any occasion.
Couple of things…

WooHoo – welcome to Tuesday! The other day I tore into my package of Fresh As A Daisy DSP and the very first sheet is full of card front panels, which I immediately cut apart. I shared my first card using the coordinating Cheerful Dies and Cheerful Daisy stamp set – you may find thathere. Today’s cards – yep, two of them, use more of that DSP but very little of the dies. Here is card 1…
The panel is layered onto an Early Espresso panel, then wrapped in this gorgeous Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon and added to the Thick Basic White card base with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment from Cheerful Daisies stamp set with Early Espresso ink on Basic White and die cut it with the banner die from Cheerful Daisy Dies. This was adhered over the ribbon. I looped a length of the same ribbon around the band and tied a single knot., then added a glue dot under the knot to secure in place. Final touches: Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots on the sentiment and Wink of Stella on each of the brown flower centers.
For the inside, I stamped the daisy in Wild Wheat and the center in Early Espresso, using Wink of Stella on the brown center of the flower :O) This was a Basic White panel and was adhered directly to the inside of the card. I stamped the same images on the envelope front, same inks and everything. I’m hoping you can see the Wink of Stella shine in this single photo.
For the second card… totally different colors but from that same Fresh As A Daisy sheet as the card above.
How different is this card from the previous, right?! The main color that pops is the new Bubble Bath. I adhered this DSP front to a slightly larger piece of Crushed Curry. I ran a Garden Green piece through the Basic 3D embossing folder called Cross Hatch (purchased from the Online Store!) I added this directly to the Thick Basic White card base, then added the DSP panel with dimensionals on top of it. I stamped the sentiment on a 1/2″ strip of Basic White with the new Bubble Bath ink and added it to the card front with dimensionals. The banner got two Glossy Dots Assortment in Daffodil Delight, then I added three more to the DSP panel. The final touch was this bow made with the Gold & Vanilla Satin Edge Ribbon, added with a glue dot.
Again, a super simple inside: this daisy stamp from Cheerful daisies, stamped in Crushed Curry ink on the Basic White panel. This piece was attached to the inside of the card. The envelope got the same treatment, one on the envelope front and one on the flap. Done, done.
I am making a group of about five cards (maybe more) to give to a friend – all daisy inspired. I’m attending a convention first weekend in May and that’s when I’ll give them to her :O)

I have a pretty card for you today, using a retiring stamps and dies. It’s called Wisteria Wishes, but they are made into Lupine instead :O) And I confess (confession is good for the soul), the design is from a demonstrator in Australia, Gail Ellis. We made this in card class Thursday.
I’ve used Basic White Thick card stock for the card base, fence posts, flowers & stems. Soft Sea Foam card stock was used for the die cut leaves. Inks were Orchid Oasis and Soft Sea Foam.
Begin with a card base 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4. Remove 4 -5/8 x 5 1/2″ strips from the card front and set aside. Die cut 6 ‘posts’ using the long banner die from the Harvest Dies. These dies and coordinating stamp set, Quiet Meadow, are carrying over to the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.
Close the card with the short front side facing up. Place a long length of washi tape or something similar, and with the sticky side up, attach in the center of the short front side. The tape should form a sort of ‘T’ when looking at the card front. Lay a 5/8 x 5 1/2″ strip so it aligns with the card back and sticks to the tape. Place two other lengths in between the spacing of the short front and bottom edge of the front. It is helpful to have this card on a grid paper to keep everything straight. Adhere the two outside posts to the ‘fencing’. Once this is done the card will be much more stable. :O) When adhering the posts, I did not use the full length of the post. It should be about 5/8″ up on the card front and about 3/8″ from the edge. Remove the sticky tape and adhere the center post. Turn the card over and adhere three posts on the inside. Cut off the overhanging edges of the ‘posts’. That was the hard part! The rest is pretty easy.
Stamp the set of three wisteria flowers in stamped off Orchid Oasis ink. Stamp the detail stamp in full strength Orchid Oasis ink.. Do this twice so there are two sets of blooms, then die cut with the Wisteria Dies.
Stamp the stems in Soft Sea Foam ink, also twice, and die cut with the appropriate die from Wisteria Dies. Adhere the first set of stems to the far right edge of the card and attach with with liquid glue. Attach one set of blooms with dimensionals overlapping the stems. Use the photo for reference. Adhere the other set of stems with liquid glue. Note placement by referring to the photo. Adhere second set of blooms, also with dimensionals, overlapping as necessary.
Die cut the sentiment banner from Basic White Thick card stock. Stamp the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink. (The sentiment I chose required me to tape off a portion of the sentiment, ink, remove tape and stamp on the banner.) Adhere banner in place with dimensionals.
Leaves: I die cut three bunches of the leaves from Soft Sea Foam card stock, then used a sponge dauber and Soft Sea Foam ink to darken areas of the leaves. I trimmed down the second bunch of leaves: one branch to fit under the sponged leaves and another to fit on top. Again, refer to photo for placement. I added retiring 2022-2024 In Color Matte Dots in Orchid Oasis and the front was complete.
For the inside… on a 4 x 5 1/4 in panel of Basic White, I adhered the third branch of leaves to the far upper right. I wanted to make sure, it would be covered by the largest part of the card front. I stamped the rest of the sentiment in Orchid Oasis ink. Just as before, I taped off what I didn’t want, inked the stamp, removed the tape and stamped on the panel. This was adhered to the inside of the card & voila! Love, love, love!

THANKS FOR STOPPING BY. MAY YOU HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY!
MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY SENDING THEM A HANDMADE CARD FILLED WITH LOVE.
Good morning stamping friends. It’s Saturday! The other day I mentioned that my box of goodies had arrived from Stampin’ Up! with fun new products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Well, I didn’t know where to begin…. but I was drawn to the daisies. So here we go… Cheerful Daisies Bundle, first play.
The daisies is all one die, until I added layers. :O) But I want you to understand/ know, this is all together. The other thing is, they can be cut apart after die cutting to use individually. Look on page 111 of the new catalog at the coordinating Fresh as a Daisy DSP. This particular paper came from the large sheet with all the individual patterns. The coordinating colors here are Pretty Peacock (a returning color) and Wild Wheat, a new 2023-2025 In Color. This photo makes it look more yellow than it really is, but it’s more of a dark mustard. I’m really liking it.
Here’s the ‘how to’ for this card. I took apart the cover sheet of this DSP, setting aside all the other squares and rectangles cut from the paper. This DSP panel is 4 x 5 1/4. I adhered it to a Basic White piece 4 1/8 x 5 3/8, then onto a Wild Wheat card base just an eensy bit larger. I die cut the large panel of daises from Thick Basic White, then the layers that go on each of the three. I used a sponge dauber to lightly color, using Wild Wheat ink. I then adhered these in place with tiny dabs of liquid glue. I die cut the sentiment banner – yep, part of the dies in the Cheerful daisies Dies, in Wild Wheat and while I was at it die cut the two daisies ‘centers’ also from Wild Wheat. The sentiment I chose is cute, but had extra words I didn’t want to use, so I taped those off, I stamped in VersaMark, removed the tape and stamped on the banner; sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and heat set from the back side. Why the back side? I find it gives a more clear finish and doesn’t blow off any of the little powders.
I added the little die cut ‘circles’ to the backs of the two larger daises. I wanted all the detail to show, but wanted some color behind as well. I added dimensionals to the daisies and adhered them in place. I slipped the banner under one of the daisies and adhered with liquid glue. I added the bow with glue dots using the Simply Elegant Trim in gold. I added three Adhesive-Backed Solid Gems in Lemon Lolly (new color and new gems – available May 2!)
For the inside…. On a Basic White panel I stamped the daisy from Cheerful Daisies stamp set. This is a two-step stamp; the background is stamped off While Wheat; the more detail stamp is full strength Wild Wheat. The center is stamped in Early Espresso ink. I wanted to carry the Pretty Peacock to the inside of the card, so adhered the panel to a slightly larger piece. Now… here’s the really funny part… are you ready?
True confessions: I went to adhere this to the inside of the Wild Wheat card base and realized I had adhered the daisies & banner upside down!!! Now I just have to say – I have never done this before and I was really surprised – AND disappointed. I trimmed the upper portion of the card off and cut it down a bit so it would fit on a Basic White Thick card base. It worked, just not what I had wanted.
For the envelope… More of the fun Fresh as a Daisy DSP on the flap, trimmed to fit., and the same stamped daisy on the envelope front.

We have a fun theme challenge today for our scheduled weekly hop – outdoors!
This is a fun fold… hmmm what do we call this? Side fold? I don’t know. but let me tell you how to make this…
The card base is cut 8 1/4 x 4 1/4 and scored on the long side at 5 1/2. I used the new Misty Moonlight for the base. It has just a hint of gray in it. And it’s perfect for a sailing card :O) I cut a panel of the Sun Prints DSP in stripe 2 1/2 x 4 (yep, it’s retiring and I’m trying to use it!). This was adhered to the left front fold. I wrapped a length of Baker’s Twine (carrying over!) from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack in Crumb Cake around it twice and tied a knot, which I adhered with a glue dot right at the knot. For the inside, I added a piece of another design but also from Sun Prints DSP, to the right inside of the card base (4 1/8 x 5 3/8). THEN… I cut Basic White card stock 7 1/4 x 3 1/2 and scored it at 3 5/8. This becomes the right-sided fold that flips over the front left panel of the card base. I stamped the two sentiments in Misty Moonlight ink (new!) from the Let’s Set Sail stamp set (retiring!) I then added this basic white folded piece to the card base, as shown.
For the front of that Basic White addition , I added another piece of the Sun Prints DSP (retiring!) to the front of that fold. It was cut 3 3/8 x 3 3/8. Now to decorate that square… Using the Stylish Shapes Dies largest circle, I die cut a piece of the Hues of Happiness DSP (yep, retiring). I stamped the bird image from Let’s Set Sail in Memento ink, then added that circle with dimensionals. Now… the sailboat :O), the boat was stamped in Misty Moonlight ink; the sails were stamped in Crushed Curry ink, then punched with the Sailboat Builder Punch. I added the boat directly to the circle, then attached the sails with mini dimensionals. And guess what, the card was done.
For the envelope… more of the Sun Prints DSP on the flap trimmed to fit and another narrow strip added to the bottom of the envelope front. This is yet another great masculine card for my stash – yay!
My demonstrator order of new products arrived from Stampin’ Up! late last night. Somehow it got ‘lost in the shuffle’ and finally arrived. I cannot WAIT TO PLAY!!! What will I play with first? Probably the daisies… I’m a daisy FAN! :O) But who knows?
Time to move on in the hop… click the ‘next’ button to visit Carol, or click on a name if you want to skip around. Enjoy!
Did you take advantage of the FREE SHIPPING from Stampin’ Up! yesterday? I know I did… card stock, kits, & other stuff too. It was such a good deal! So appreciative they did that! Speaking of grateful…

OK – so now are you looking for the card???
This is a great card to show off both sides of the Designer Series Paper. In this case, that is Perfectly Penciled DSP (retiring). I’ve coordinated the Hand Penned stamp set (retiring) and the Penned Flowers Dies (retiring), Polished Pink card stock (retiring), Polished Pink & Pale Papaya Stampin’ Blends (retiring) + the Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya (retiring). Yep – I loaded this card with retiring items :O)
What is not retiring that is used on this card are the Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (still a great buy when you order $75 & up of product on FREE SHIPPING day), Basic White card stock, Memento ink, Basic White Medium Envelopes. Did I forget anything?
So the ‘how to’ to make this card.
Begin with your Perfectly Penciled DSP cutting it 5 1/4 x 12 and scoring on the long side @ 2, 4, 8, and 10″. Measure down from the top on each end, 2 5/8″ and place a mark on the edge. Now trim from the 4″ score line to the 2 5/8″ mark on the left side. Do the same on the right side, trimming from the 8″ score down to the 2 5/8″ mark. Adhere those pieces to each corner edge (see the dotted pattern in each bottom corner? Burnish the folds completely.
Cut a backing card base (in this case Polished Pink) 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 and adhere to the back of the DSP. This creates strength for the card.
Cut another piece in Polished Pink 2 1/2 x 2 1/2. Adhere this panel with corner points on the burnished score line, with adhesive on the left side only. Adhere a Basic White panel cut to 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 to the Polished Pink square. Now decorate!
For decoration… Using the Hand Penned stamp set, I stamped this fun floral image in Memento ink on Basic White, colored it with Stampin’ Blends: Polished Pink, Pale Papaya and Old Olive. I die cut the image with the coordinating Penned Flower Dies and attached it to the Basic White square with dimensionals. I stamped the sentiment in Memento ink on a Basic White scrap – yes, also from Hand Penned stamp set – and fussy cut it. This was attached with dimensionals as well. I tied a bow with the Open Weave Ribbon in Pale Papaya and attached it with a glue dot. Front, done!
For the inside.. the Basic White panel is cut 3 3/4 x 5. I wanted to be certain when stamping the inside, that nothing showed when the card was closed. I ‘eyeballed’ a bit lower than center and stamped the sentiment from Hand Penned stamp set in memento ink. I then stamped the flowers, also from Hand Penned stamp set, in Polished Pink ink. I attached this panel to the inside – and voila! a fun fold and gorgeous!
For the envelope… more of the Perfectly Penciled DSP to the flap, trimmed to fit. For the front… a sweet stamped flower in Polished Pink ink from the Hand Penned stamp set.
I want to see what you create with this fun fold, retiring DSP or new. Enjoy creating!
Thanks for stopping by. May you have a beautiful day.
Make someone happy sending them a handmade card filled with love.
SHOP TO YOUR HEARTS CONTENT! :O) FREE SHIPPING TODAY ONLY!
It’s Monday morning and a full day ahead… what are your plans? I’ve a bit of computer work today, card making :o), gardening :O) and more, but first, I want to share this masculine birthday card. Part of what makes it masculine is the colors, another is its simplicity and non-fussiness.
I began with retiring Sahara Sand card stock to make this A2 top fold card. Does it seem that I’m trying to use my stash in preparation for all the new? Well – you are sooooo right! I have gotten stuck however, using what’s on my desk. :O( Nonetheless… here’s the card.
As I mentioned, Sahara Sand for the card base. Starting from the front:
By the Bay DSP cut 2 7/8 x 3 7/8
Layer this to Basic White 3 x 4
Adhere both to a coordinating By the Bay DSP 3 7/8 x 5 1/8
And Balmy Blue 4 x 5 1/4.
Wrap with a length of Burlap Ribbon from the Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack (carrying over!). Adhere ribbon in back with Stampin’ Seal
Adhere all this to the card base with dimensionals
Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink on a Basic White scrap. This sentiment comes from Waves of Inspiration stamp set – carrying over!
Die cut sentiment with Waves Dies, carrying over… and adhere over the ribbon with dimensionals
Add three Enamel Dot Essentials in Crumb Cake and the front is complete
For the inside… adhere a Basic White 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 to a Balmy Blue piece 4 x 5 1/4. Adhere a strip of By the Bay DSP to the bottom and attach all this to the inside of the card.
The envelope… super simple… a coordinating piece of By the Bay DSP for the envelope flap and this masculine card is ready to be sent.
Here’s the exciting part about the products used for this card… The Waves of Inspiration stamp set and its coordinating Waves Dies are carrying over… just not as a bundle. The Real Red & Burlap Ribbon Combo Pack is also carrying over. Balmy Blue, Night of Navy and Basic White card stock are also carrying over, as are the Balmy Blue ink and Night of Navy inks. :O) What is not carrying over into the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog is the By the Bay Designer Series Paper and the Enamel Dot Essentials or the Sahara Sand card stock.Prices are changing in the new catalog… production costs have risen as everything else has risen (such as food costs, clothing costs, gasoline, etc.) If you have a chance, check out getting these carry-over items now before the price increases with the new catalog. You may do that order from me here.
When you place an order of $50 or more (before shipping & taxes), you receive from me a SU! item valued up to $10 + Star-Studded Rewards. If your order exceeds $150, do not use my HOST CODE as SU! has it’s own rewards from which you may choose. You will still receive that FREE ITEM from me up to $10 + the Star-Studded Rewards.

MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY SENDING THEM A HANDMADE CARD FILLED WITH LOVE.
Happy Friday! Fun folds are just that, fun. And sometimes easier than they look. I’m sharing a trifold shutter card today that really is quite easy and is a real “show off”. It’s a card within a card. :O) I’ve used Fancy Flora DSP (again!) as it has what I call, a continuous pattern. To coordinate with that, I also used the Two-Tone Flora stamp set and it’s coordinating Two-Tone Dies.
This begins with a full length of card stock 11 x 5 1/2, scored on the long side at 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 5 1/4 and 7. I used Petal Pink card stock for this. Burnish the score lines: mountain, valley, mountain and valley. The next step is to place this on the paper trimmer with the short side to the top and at 1 1/4. Cut from the 1 3/4 score line to the 5 1/4 score line. Turn it over and do the same on the other side. It should look like this.
Cut Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper: it’s helpful to use a DSP that has a continuous pattern and this works really well. Remove 1″ from the top of the 6×6 piece. With the long side at top, cut four pieces 1 1/2 x 5, keeping them in order. Adhere pieces 1 & 4 to the first & fourth panels of the card stock. With the bottom end of the two remaining pieces, trim to 1″ and attach to panels 2 & 3, following the continuing pattern. Turn around and with top of those two strips, cut 1″ from top. Attach those to the tops of panels 2 & 3. That leaves centers of panels 2 & 3 blank. Making certain to follow the continuous pattern of the DSP, trim the remaining piece that coordinates with panel 3. It should measure 1 1/2 x 2 1/2. Now cut a 2 3/4 square with a coordinating card stock. I chose Soft Suede. Cut another piece of Soft Suede 7 1/2 x 5, score on long side @ 3 3/4. Burnish and add to back 4″ panel of the Petal Pink card base. This is what makes the card within a card.
Cut a piece of Basic White 3 1/2 x 4 3/4 (cut 2) for the additional card panels. Cut a piece of Basic White 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 for the very front of the card. Adhere this square to the 2 3/4″ square.
Stamp the two panels that are 3 1/2 x 4 3/4: one is for the inside of the back card, while the other is for it’s front. Use Soft Suede ink to stamp the sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set and add to the ‘back’ card front. On the other panel, same size, stamp the flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set, in stamped off Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the detail of that flower with full strength Calypso Coral ink. Adhere both to the appropriate panels.
Notice another panel of DSP on the opposite side of the stamped panel – yep.. that’s a piece of the Fancy Flora DSP, but the reverse side :O) All that’s left to do now is decorate the 2 1/2″ square on the card front. On a scrap of Basic White, stamp the flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set in stamped-off Calypso Coral ink. Stamp the more details flower patten with full strength Calypso Coral ink. Die cut the flower with Two-Tone Flora Dies. Stamp two sets of leaves in Evening Evergreen ink as it coordinates with the DSP :O). Die cut with Two-Tone Flora Dies. Attach the two leaf sets to the back of the flower with dimensionals. See photo.
Add more dimensionals to the back of the flower. Attach a length of the Open Weave Ribbon in Soft Succulent to the Basic White square. Attach flower over the ribbon to the Basic White square of the card front. With the card closed, add three large Iridescent Pastel Gems in Calypso Coral, then two small Iridescent Pastel Gems in Calypso Coral.
For the envelope… more Fancy Flora DSP to the envelope flap. For the envelope front, stamp the same flower from Two-Tone Flora stamp set with stamped-off Calypso Coral ink, and the detail stamp with full strength Calypso Coral ink. DONE!!!
This DSP is retiring and it’s stunning. The ribbon is also retiring, as is Soft Suede card stock & ink, and Evening Evergreen ink. The Iridesent Pastel Gems are also retiring.
Since these items have been available for a bit, it’s best to check so you know exactly what is available. you may do that here. order from me here

How my shares work: I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6 x 6 pieces (or 6 x 12 for double shares) and you receive one panel of each design from each pack on the list. I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can. Shares give you a working sample of all of the papers so that you can decide which ones to order in full packs! :O)

Double DSP Share – $140 + $14.50 Shipping by Priority Mail – if you’d like double shares of the designer paper, I’m offering those too! The 12 x 12 designer paper sheets will be cut into 6 × 12 so that you’ll be able to get 3 full A2 size card fronts from each sheet and double sheets of the 6 x 6 since they’re already precut. Make sense?
FREE Gift From Me! – As a bonus for joining my share, you’ll get a sampling of the new 2023-2025 In-Color Dots! (find these on page 141)
