Card idea to take you away from it all using the Stampin' Up! Parisian Beauty Bundle

  • Stampin' Up! Parisian Beauty Stamp Set
  • Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder
  • Sale-A-Bration ends March 31 - More free selections added

Stampin' Up! Parisian Beauty Bundle


Today's card uses a mix of new and some retired products.  I strongly support using up your current stash while you're at home right now protecting yourself and your loved ones.  While your most important job is to protect yourself and your loved ones, it is also an opportunity to add some cheer to others who may not be able to surround themselves with family or close friends.  Make some cards today and drop them in the mail to those you wish to know you're thinking of them. 

Today I'm highlighting the Parisian Beauty Bundle, which includes the Parisian Beauty Stamp Set and the Parisian Dies from the Stampin' Up! January-June Mini Catalog. This is part of the Parisian Blossoms Suite, and it includes the fabulous Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder and Petal Pink 1/4" Metallic-Edge Ribbon.  This was one of the cards we made at a recent show box swap, one of the best ways to build your card ideas. 





The basecard for today's card is Crumb Cake Cardstock.  Then a layer of Petal Pink dry embossed using the Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing Folder on the left side and a retired Designer Series Paper on the right side.  Check your stash, you may have some of the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper for last year's annual catalog, which was used on the right side of the card front.   

  
      





Several dies cuts were added to the card front using dies from the Parisian Dies.  The Eiffel Tower was die cut from Silver Foil paper.  The word, merci, was die cut from Melon Mambo cardstock.  The curlicue is die cut out of Whisper White.  The Fleur de Lise  is stamped on Whisper White with Rich Razzelberry ink.   

I added a bow from Petal Pink 1/4" Metallic-Edged Ribbon.  
   
  


     



  
This is a great card to send to someone you want to thank for their help during these challenging times.  Or use another sentiment from a stamp set or one of our word dies like Sweet Silhouettes, Well Written, or Word Wishes Dies to personalize the card for your specific use.  Let's keep stampin' to take our mind off the news while we enjoy our time at home.  Sending handmade cards is a great way to stay in touch when you can't be with distant loved ones and your cards will be greatly appreciated during trying times.     

If you don't have a demonstrator and want a copy of the January-June 2020 Mini catalogcontact me.   I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.

Stampin' Up! Third Sale-A-Bration Release


As Sale-A-Bration 2020 draws to a close at the end of this month, Stampin' Up! announced a third set of free Sale-A-Bration items you can earn with your $50 or $100 order.  These new items are from the annual catalog, but you must use the item number from this flyer when you select these as your free items with your qualifying order.

These items are in addition to the items that have already been released with this year's Sale-A-Bration item.  Download a copy of the previously released items here.  

I'm so pleased to see these fantastic products introduced as free Sale-A-Bration selections during the last stretch of our annual Sale-A-Bration promotion.  Take a look at the new items and place your order today.  Sale-A-Bration ends March 31, 2020.   

One of my favorites from the Third Release are the Mini Shipping Boxes.   They remind me of how happy I am every time I see a Stampin' Up! box arrive on a UPS truck.   I found a super cute UPS truck on Amazon to use on my display table along with these Mini Shipping Boxes. 




A  fun coordinating item to go with the Mini Shipping Boxes--from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog--is the Follow Your Art washi tape where one of the tapes is a Stamping' up! Logo tape, which I use to seal the mini logo boxes.  The Follow Your At Washi Tape is item #149490. I keep my washi tapes organized by putting them on a ring and include the labels from the packaging so I know which washi tape family each roll belongs to.  Don't want to use a box with a Stampin' up! logo?  Cover your mini box with a cardstock belly band in any color you choose.  These make such cute gift boxes for small items.
