June Cards@Home Kit

With the new Annual Stampin' Up Catalog coming live on Wed. June 3 at 11:00am (PT), it's exciting to think that we are going to have some brand new stamps, dies, and accessories to create new projects!  However, it also appears that we will still be Shelter-In-Place here in Alameda County for June, so I've created some cards that can be done with the new stamp sets if you order them, or simply completed with stamps you already have, or be handwritten*. I'll again be providing many die cut words for the card fronts so that the cards will be mostly complete when you assemble them, and will include printed instructions for assembly in each kit.

The upper left card features the newest group of In-Colors for 2020 - 2022: Cinnamon Cider, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Bumble Bee, and Misty Moonlight!  Each flower color is accented with its own matching Enamel Dot in the center, and I love the contrast of using the white die-cut word "happy" against the black card base.  You could also add a narrow word strip below "happy" with "birthday", "Father's Day", "day", "thoughts",  "wishes" , etc.

Sometimes when a new SU catalog comes out, there will be a printed  Designer Series Paper that is so gorgeous that I know immediately I have to order it.  That was the case with Forever Greenery on the upper right card.  I really like leaf patterns, and this beautiful blend of many greens with Pretty Peacock is just wonderful.  Plus when there are coordinating Distinktive stamps, dies that cut every image plus more, and two coordinating embossing folders, this was one suite of products that I ordered immediately!  Even the reversible ribbon bow matches exactly.  I've created a corner-lock card which is a fun new layout and cleverly keeps the card closed when the corner is inserted.  We'll be making many more of these, to be sure!

The bottom two cards feature the Ornate Garden patterned Designer papers. On the left, the soft pink and minty green prints look so nice with the coordinating Ornate Borders die that accents this center opening card.  A bit of glitz from the gold embossed paper and small gems make this pretty card quite special and yet it's easy to assemble. The card on the right is all about sending someone some sunshine!  With its happy daisies on a green die cut border and sunny yellow papers everywhere, inside and out, it should bring a smile to anyone who receives it. Also note that this card has another fun fold which makes it stand out, just like it's pink and green partner.  Even more fun is the new border punch which decorates the inside and punches out the small yellow flowers on the front and inside, so cool!

Note that since I am die cutting words from the Well Written dies set, if you'd like to switch the words "happy" (Card 1) or "thanks" (Card 3) to a different die  (also "friend" or "wishes"), just let me know when you reserve your spot.  

Deadline Date to order this Kit: Sunday, June 14. 

Cost = $15 if you pick up, + $2 for shipping per kit if mailed to you.  
Kit can be FREE with a minimum $45 order ($50 if you would also like a copy of the new Annual catalog) when you use the current Host Code: PCKRMXT7, or if you have a previous Class Credit.  
(Note: if your order exceeds $150, do not use a Host Code, as you can keep the Host Rewards and still earn a Class Credit for a future class or get this month's Kit for FREE!)

(*Since I cannot stamp images for unassembled cards, you will receive blank white cardstock where I have stamped the samples.  You can simply use your own supplies, or save your blanks for the next time we meet if you want to complete the card exactly as shown.) 

As always, contact me with any questions.
