PRIZED PEONY BUNDLE

Fun fold using the Prized Peony stamp set/dies ,Peony Garden DSP, square doilies, and  Stampin' Write markers

Peony stamped with Basic Gray and colored with  blends


PRIZED PEONY BUNDLE . What nostalgic elements were used in these two cards? The retired artisan label punch, Flourishing Phrases, and an embossing border (unknown origin). Of course there are many current, beautiful items that could be used, such as the Everyday label or the Story Label punches and the Little Details embossing folders.   

As for the fun fold, I give complete credit to Rachel Tessman at stampyourartout.com  .  The measurements are as follows:
Card base - 4 1/4 by 11 inches, scored at 2 3/4, 4 1/2, 7 1/4, 8 1/2
    When folded, the last sentiment area is hidden; the top folds over the middle section . The DSP is cut to 4"x4",  matted on a piece of 4 1/8 square. The last solid card stock is 2 1/2" x 4", matted on a piece of 2 5/8 " x 4 1/8".

What does this mean? Well, hold on to your hat....it is awesome! For every $50 you spend (excluding shipping and tax of course) you will receive a $5 off voucher through your e-mail to spend in August! 
Use Host Code  XY4TMFBR when you check out in the on-line store. Orders must be placed before the end of July though. 
Starting in July, there is a brand new Stampin' Up! 2020-2021 Annual catalog (AC) full of BEAUTIFUL stamp sets, embellishments, designer series paper (DSP), and card ideas to choose from. A link to the new catalog can be found in the right hand column. Also there you will find a link to my on-line store where you can purchase any of the items in the catalog. Don't forget about the Beginner Brochure! Yes it is geared toward those who are new to our stamping world, but there are items that seasoned stampers are going to love as well. Did you know that you can get Stampin' Spots in some of the new In-Colors? They are available in the Beginner's Brochure! Do you want a set of Stampin' Spots in various Classic colors? They are also available in the Annual catalog log as well as the Beginner's Brochure. Stampin' Spots are my go-to inks when I use a stamping tool like a Stamparatus (page 164 AC), Tim Holtz Stamp Platform, or a MISTI (by My Sweet Petunia company). They are also great to take with you on a camping trip (craft while it rains) , vacation (craft while the children are napping), retreats (no need to haul every stamp pad you own), etc. They can also be re-inked using SU! reinker bottles found in the Annual Catalog on pages 142-143.
