Another look using Share What You Love suite from Stampin' Up!

  • Make a Difference Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!
  • Customers can preorder 3 different Share What You Love Bundles
  • One, Two, or Three Free Gifts with Early Release Bundles

Ordering begins for Share What You Love Suite


I came across an old card today as I was sorting through my craft room in preparation for the new catalog preorder I placed early this morning. (A benefit of being a demonstrator)  I decided to try and recreate the look of this old card with current sets.  Of course, the Share What you Love suite was still on my work surface, so I reached for the embossing folder and stamp set and paired it with the Amazing You Sale-A-Bration set in order to create this card.




I began with a Crumb Cake basecard.  Then a layer of Night of Navy, and then another layer of Crumb Cake.

I stamped the smaller piece of Crumb Cake with the Amazing You set, I earned for free during Sale-A_Bration, and then a couple of stems from the Love What You Do Stamp Set with Night of Navy ink.  

I then inked up the Lovely Floral embossing folder with Night of Navy ink and ran it through Big Shot with another piece of Crumb Cake cardstock.   Then I fussy cut around the outside of the  flower and stems created with the Lovely Floral embossing folder, and popped up the flower image on Dimensional.  Word of warning:  This fussy cutting took quite a bit of time.  Great for a special, one-of-a kind card for a very special friend or family member.  I don't recommend this treatment if you need to make multiples of this card.




To create the sentiment, I used the Make a Difference stamp set, an alphabet set that is part of the Share What You Love suite.  This is a great alphabet set with double letters for several letters, and several tiny  sentiments like "from the desk of" for making personalized cards, a Stampin' Up! copyright for the back of your handcrafted card to help you meet the Angle Policy,  "Handmade by", "This belongs to", and several other useful sentiments for the avid crafter, baker, or book owner for personalizing your work or marking what you own. 





I selected the letters from the Make a Difference stamp set to make "Hello" and die cut the sentiment with an oval from the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  Then I selected a coordinating scalloped oval from the Layering Ovals Framelits and cut a mat for the sentiment out of Night of Navy.  I cut a small piece of 5/8" Burlap Ribbon to place behind the sentiment.  

I'm pleased at the different look I was able to create with the Share What You Love suite that I've been highlighting on my blog over the past couple of weeks.  When you can stretch a suite to create many different looks, it helps justify the purchase.

Previous blog posts included details of the three prerelease Share What You Love bundles from the new catalog that you can purchase prior to the June catalog release.  Download a flyer here to see details of each bundle, the free gifts in each bundle and the new In Color stamp pads you can purchase today.

Preorders of Share What You Love bundle from the new Stampin' Up! catalog begins today!

  • Order Share What You Love begins today
  • Prerelease of three bundles from the new Stampin' Up! catalog
  • Free gifts with Early Release Bundles

How to make a plain card beautiful


Have you ever seen a grown woman cry?  I'm loving this suite so much that I sometimes I just well up.  This set is amazing, and its won the hearts of  so many demonstrators who have been able to preorder this suite last month!

Today I'm showing cards I've created with the Share What You Love suite over the past couple of weeks.  And as of today, May 1,  Customers can purchase three different bundles from the Share What You Love suite.  



You can see the three different bundles below.  There are three bundles, created for different level crafters.      
.  




There is a bundle  for those who have few supplies and are just getting started exploring their creativity, a bundle for those with a few more supplies, and a bundle for those who want it all.  I've created samples using samples from each kit so you can see the cards from simple to more sophisticated to see how the amazing products in this suite work together to create cards that won our hearts.  




Each of the three prerelease bundles offered includes one two or three gifts depending on the bundle you select, which you can see below.  But order the bundles between May 1-31, as the free gifts go away June 1.  You'll be able to purchase this suite in the June 1 Stampin' Up! annual catalog, minus the free gifts.






Today's cards have been featured in previous posts, so feel free to scroll through previous posts for recipes for each card.   
    




The secret to beautiful cards isn't owning every stamp set and designer series paper in the catalog.  Its finding a few sets that match your personal style and a few matching designer papers and cardstock and then, using your creativity to create a multitude of different looks with the coordinating products that are part of each suite.  This make it easy to beautiful scrapbook pages, create gift packs of cards that coordinate for gift giving, and treats packaging that match your cards that your friends and family will enjoy.   




    

Here's a more detailed look at the contents of this suite with a closeup of the some of the items that are hard to see in the photos.  If you're unable to see the video below, use this link.  This video shows even more card ideas using this suite.  You'll not be at a loss for ideas with this set.









Beginning today, you can purchase one of the three bundles plus the 5 new In Color stamp pads are part of the Share What You Love early release offer.

If you are a crafter with limited supplies who is just beginning to experience the job of creativity, the first Share-What-you-Love Bundle is for you. 




The second bundle is for crafters looking to hone their skills with a few more items to help you push your creative boundaries without pushing you over the edge.  This  bundle will include not only the Love What you Do Stamp set, but a unique alphabet stamp set as well as several other new catalog items and two free gifts.


  

The third bundle is for those who want to have it all. The Share What you Love Specialty Designer Series Paper that we used today is included in this bundle.  This set of Specialty paper contains 24 double-sided sheets, double the number of sheets in our normal paper packages!   

Each bundle comes with one, two or three free items that coordinate with your bundle, and the free gifts are only available with the bundles May 1-31, 2018 




If you've purchased from me during the past year, your new catalog will arrive towards the end of the May.  You can begin purchasing from the new catalog June 1.  

Purchasing a bundle from this suite is a great way to get your hands on some of the newest colors, papers and stamp sets from the new catalog -- even before the catalog is released June 1. 

   
The new In Color Stamp pads are available to order May 1-31, and you'll save 10% when you purchase these new, innovative In Colors stamp pads between May 1-31.
