Using Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper for Greeting Cards

     

  • Stampin' Up! Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper
  • Join us for Paper Pumpkin Procrastinator's Meetup Friday, 14 April
  • Exploring New In Colors with May 2023 Paper Pumpkin Kit
While I'm waiting for my Demonstrator Preorder from the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog, which goes live 2 May 2023, I'm making room for my new catalog items in my craft room and using up some of my many retired and soon-to-be retired, but much loved, Stampin' Up! products.  I'm also using current products that will carry over to the new annual catalog.  Today I'm using the Favored Flowers 12 X 12" Designer Series Paper from this January-February Sale-A-Bration event.  I've created sentiment labels using the Something Fancy Dies, and sentiments from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set and the Go To Greetings Stamp Set.  I used Calypso Coral Ribbon from the Ornate Garden Ribbon Combo Pack pulled from my retired stash, and Iridescent Pastel Gems from the January - April 2023 Mini Catalog.  One of the benefits of using Stampin' Up! products is how well the colors, accessories and papers coordinate across the product line, making it easy to create greeting cards you'll be proud to send someone you love.

The basecard for today's card is Petal Pink Cardstock.  Then a layer of Calypso Coral Cardstock.  Next, I used both the front and back side of one of the prints from the Favored Flowers 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper Pack.  I cut the the layer and then cut it in half and turned one piece to the other side.

Then I fussy cut one of the florals from the same print I used on my card front, and mounted it on Dimensionals.  That allowed me to hide part of my sentiment label under the floral I fussy cut.

To finish my card, I  used one of the dies from the Something Fancy dies and die cut from Basic White Cardstock sentiment labels.  I used a Happy Birthday sentiment from Go To Greetings Stamp Set on one of the cards, and Feel Better Real Soon from the Cottage Rose Stamp Set for the sentiment on my second card.  I stamped the sentiments in Calypso Coral Ink.  I finished by adding a Calypso Coral ribbon from the Ornate Gardens Combo Ribbon Pack, and a gem from the Iridescent Pastel Gems Pack.  You'll want to pick up Iridescent Pastel Gems soon as inventory is low according to the Stampin' Up! online store. Also, the Cottage Rose Cling Stamp Set is retiring soon, but is still available in the Last Chance Sale.  Grab these items before they are gone.

New Catalog Pricing Changes 


While Stampin' Up strives to provide us with the best paper crafting products and experiences, without sacrificing the quality of Stampin' Up! is know for, all while being mindful of cost and other important consideration, we are all aware of the increases in costs we're seeing in today's market place. This is a heads up that price increase will impact several product categories in the upcoming new catalog.  

You'll want to consider stocking up on items such as Cardstock, Specialty Paper, Notecards and Envelopes, Ink Pads and Refills, Stampin' Blends, Stampin' Write Markers, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machines and plates, Take Your Pick products, Storage, Clear Blocks, Select adhesives, and Paper Pumpkin.  Consider purchasing a Paper Pumpkin subscription (a prepaid code) before the 2 May 2023 price change to receive current pricing on your subscription.  You don't have to use your Paper Pumpkin Subscription code before 2 May.  Order Paper Pumpkin subscriptions here:  https://www.paperpumpkin.com/en-us/sign-up/?demoid=100492

When we say goodbye to retiring colors, with the announcement of New Colors, it means we often see several retiring colors sell out.  Since these products will not be restocked, now is the time to check your stock of cardstock, ink pads and refills, Blends and Markers and Designer Series Paper.  Place your order during the Last Chance sale--before the new Annual Catalog release on 2 May--so you can save you up to 60% on some items and you'll have the colors and favorites you need to complete current projects.
