Statement of the Heart

 I made this card for a dear friend and Stampin Up customer who like me loves all things Stampin Up so I decided to use new products from the Stampin Up 2018-2019 annual catalog and make her an easel card to display on her mantle.  The beautiful paper is from the Share what You Love DSP Collection #146926. The sentiment is from the Statement of My Heart #148108. I personalized her name and added flowers by stamping them with the Make A Difference # 146676 alphabet stamp set.  To add even more elegance to the card I added the Share What You Love Artisian pearls #146927 to the centers of the flowers and the dotted i!

Share What You Love

Stampin Up encourages us to share what we love and I did just that with today’s post.  I am sharing what I love.. beautiful background papers that work well together.  These papers come from the gorgeous Share What You Love collection #146926.  These specialty papers are made with beautiful handpainted flowers and decorative patterned designs on heavyweight sheets and some even have a pearlized finish,

Hand delivered

 I usually try and not purchase or earn the Stampin Up Hostess Rewards stamp set but when I saw the Hand Delivered #146808 Hostess Stamp Set in the Stampin Up 2018-2019 Catalog I knew I had to have it.  I paired the image with the gorgeous Share What You Love DSP #146926 worked perfectly for a get well card.  Notice how perfect the skirt is?  I just stamped it on the coordinating DSP and then cut out and added it to the focal point image to complete the look!

Share What You Love

Welcome to July.  This month I plan on sharing what I love and that is Stampin Up DSP (Designer Series Paper).  I am going to try to post cards made using mostly just DSP.  I used to buy and covet the DSP and have a huge stash of paper that was never used.  Now when I buy DSP I cut into it and use it.  Stampin Up makes it easy to coordinate their papers because within each collection the papers are intended [for the most part] to go together.  The perfect example is today’s card… I used all 12 designs of patterned paper from the Share What You Love #146926 collection on 1 card and it looks great! I added a coordinating ribbon and the sweet sentiment from the Barn Door #145865 stamp set.
