Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

  • Early Release of Share What You Love - May 1-31
  • Sneak Peek of Share What You Love Specialty Designer Papers
  • Three Early Release Bundles with Free Gifts Can be Yours

Share What You Love Early Release


Today, I'm continuing to use the Share What You Love Suite.  There are still products that are part of this suite that I have not yet introduced to you.  

Today, I'm introducing you to one of the patterns from the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Papers.  Demonstrators have had early access to this suite, so it is likely you've seen blogs, Instagram posts, and Pinterest boards showing sneak peeks of cards and projects using these beautiful papers.  

Today's card highlights one of these new paper patterns and the Lovely Florals embossing folder I introduced to you yesterday.   This is part of the early release Share What You Love Suite that customers can purchase as a catalog prerelease between May 1-31.  Because these bundles include free gifts, it is likely the Share What You Love Suite will be very popular, and I suggest ordering your favorite bundle as soon as ordering begins on May 1.  The free gifts included with the prerelease bundles will not be offered when the Annual Catalog goes live June 1.            









Today's card uses a basecard of Grapefruit Grove, then a layer of Very Vanilla, then another layer of Grapefruit Grove, dry embossed with the Lovely Florals embossing folder.  The embossed image was swirled with a sponge dauber and retired Very Vanilla Craft Ink.  

I wanted my card to match a series of cards using Very Vanilla and Grapefruit Grove, but you'll likely want to use Whisper White accents on your cards as the background of the DSP on this card has a Whisper White background.  I used a sponge Dauber and lightly sponged the DSP with Grapefruit Grove to achieve a background that better matched the collection of display cards I'm creating for this suite.  This technique show you how you can extend the usefulness of your Designer Series Papers by changing the paper background colors to meet your need.
    
    



I stamped one of the sentiments from the Share What You Love stamp set in Old Olive on Very Vanilla and then cut it out using the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  I mounted the sentiment on Dimensionals before adding it to the card.

The flowers from the Share What You Love stamp set were stamped in Grapefruit Grove and then fussy cut with Snips.  The heads of the flowers were brushed with Grapefruit Grove ink using an Aqua Painter.  A small bow out of 1/8" Sheer Old Olive ribbon was added to the stems of the flowers.  

I've included a photo of yesterday's cards with today's card, below, to show you the different looks achieved using the embossing folder on different color backgrounds.    You'll love adding this beautiful suite to your Wish List from the new Annual Catalog, and I'm so excited that it will be prereleased for purchase beginning May 1.  

 

    

Take a look at the wonder papers that are part of this Specialty Designer Series Paper Pack.   They are a wonderful addition to this suite as they compliment the images in the stamp set and the Lovely Florals embossing folder, and work well with the new In Colors for 2018-2020. 

These papers are a bit thicker than most of our other Designer Series Papers making them perfect for creating boxes, treat holders and envelopes.  This paper pack is double the number of sheets in our typical 12" X 12" double sided paper packs giving you plenty of sheets for large projects such as a yearly scrapbook or for a bridal shower or graduation party. Several patterns include a pearlized shimmer that matches our new doilies, and the new pearls that coordinate with this suite. Our normal paper packs include 12 double-sided sheets.  This paper Pack includes 24 sheets!

available for pre-order on May 1-31



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 sheet!   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 



Watch for more ideas using this suite over the next few days.  You're going to want to add this suite to your new catalog Wish List.  It's 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.    Set you budget for next month --just a few days away--to include one of these bundles and the 5 new In Color stamp pads in the new, innovative stamp cases.  

The new In Color Stamp pads are available to order May 1-31, and you'll save 10% when you purchase these newm Innovative In Colors stamp pads between May 1-31.  The savings on the In Color stamp pads is only good until May 31, so don't miss this opportunity when you place your May order.

Share What You Love Suite . . . Again...Spotlighting the Lovely Florals Embossing Folder

  • Share What You Love Early Release coming May 1-31
  • Sneak Peek at the early release Share What You Love bundles
  • Color Revamp and Last Chance products

Share What You Love Early Release


One of the new items in the Share What You Love Suite is the Lovely Floral Embossing Folder.  Today's card highlights this new folder and and one of the new In Colors, Grapefruit Grove.  This Share What You Love Suite as I've mentioned in previous posts, is from the upcoming Stampin' Up! annual catalog coming out June 1.  However, demonstrators already have early access to this suite, and customers will be able to order this early release suite of products May 1-31.
   
The early release of this suite from Stampin' Up! will include a bundle for a newer stamper with limited supplies, a bundle for a stamper who owns more supplies, and a bundle for those stampers who want it all.  Today, I'm using the Lovely Floral Embossing Folder to dry emboss the flower image, then I'm using  Love What You Do stamp set, the new Grapefruit Grove ink pad along with Old Olive ink pad and other Stampin' Up! supplies to showcase another look with the Share What You Love Prerelease Suite.                









Today's card uses a basecard of Grapefruit Grove, then a layer of Very Vanilla, Then another layer of Grapefruit Grove, 

The Very Vanilla image block is dry embossed with the Lovely Florals embossing folder.  Then the raised image is swirled with Grapefruit Grove ink and Old Olive ink using sponge daubers.


    
    




I stamped one of the sentiments from the Share What You Love stamp set and fussy cut only the word "friend" from the sentiment.  I popped the word on Mini Dimensionals and added it to the front of the card.  The sentiment was stamped with Old Olive ink pad on Very Vanilla.

I've enjoyed working with the Share What You Love Suite over the past couple of weeks.  And I'm just getting started!  This suite includes Designer Series Papers, ribbons and other accessories, which I'm looking forward to using.  All of the cards I've created so far have been created with minimal supplies.  This suite is a great suite if you're just getting started.  It's also a wonderful suite for the experienced stamper as it includes a second stamp set with Stampin' Up! copyright, if you're making cards to sell, and several other sentiments for the back of your cards.  You'll love adding this beautiful suite to your collection when it becomes available May 1.
