On the occasion of Memorial Day, let us bow our heads in silence to remember and honor the sacrifices of hundreds of men and women who gave their lives for the country.
“Our debt to the heroic men and valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid. They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices.”
Harry S. Truman
Today is the day! The 22-23 Stampin Up! Catalog is here!!!! You can now order from it!!! If you don’t already have your own copy. You can see a PDF copy here.
I am happy to say that the only item unavailable for ordering is the Graceful Tiles stamp set. Everything else is in stock and ready to order. If you would like to shop and earn this month’s ordering special, a packet of 22-24 In-color Matte Decorative Dots. Then use host code R2D7XUJ3 when placing an order of $50 (before tax & shipping) online HERE. If your order is over $150, you will earn Stampin Rewards, so don’t use the host code, and I will still mail you the embellishments.
I get asked a lot, what’s on my wish list? Well, here are a few of my favorite things I am ordering. It was tough to narrow it down to 15 items, lol!
If your wish list for the new catalog is long, you should purchase the Starter Kit. Until May 31st, for $99 + tax, you get to pick $125 worth of products that ship for free. Then you will start learning your 20% off on your orders! And this month, you will get a bonus of $66.50 of 22-24 In-Color products included in your kit!!! The starter kit is always the best deal in the catalog. Details on the Starter Kits can be found here.
Ok, so you want to know what is the catch, right. There is no catch, no obligation, no risk! You fill out the IDA (Independent Demonstrator Agreement Form), pick your $125 worth of products and now you are a part of the Stampin’ Up! family. The only requirement to remain an active demo is a quarterly minimum of $300. As a new demo, you have until the end of the following quarter to meet that $300 minimum. So, what happens if you don’t make that minimum? Then you become a customer again and lose the discount. That’s it!

Happy Hump Day! Today I am sharing the last two cards I made using the Artfully Layered stamp set from Stampin’ Up!. I love it when you get a bonus card for an idea! I wanted to create a slimline card using the Slim Card Dies and the Artfully Layered Bundle, and while designing the card, my wheels started spinning when I looked at the die-cut negative space, and bada bing now we have two cards!
Isn’t this a beautiful card! I love the simplistic vibe I got while making it. This card lets the background do all the heavy lifting for sure.
Cardstock sizes:
Once I die-cut the DSP using the Slim Card Die, I set aside the negative space and kept the die-cut pieces in order. I created a template for gluing the piece by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock the same size as the DSP.
Place the white die-cut template into the center of the Calypso Coral card front and one at a time, glue the die-cut pieces of DSP to the card front. I used liquid glue, so I had wiggle room while gluing in case I needed to adjust the DSP Pieces. You could also attach a piece of Adhesive Sheet to the back of the DSP before you die-cut it to skip the gluing step.
Once you are done adhering all of the DSP pieces, you can remove the white template and finish the card.
For my bonus card, I glued down the negative space DSP to a piece of Thick Whisper White and added the different plan fronds I die-cut from the Tropical Layers Dies. Once I had the plans glued down, I cut several ribbons in half and folded them over to attach them to the center of where the palm fronds meet. Punch out one Vellum and one Calypso Coral piece using the Tailored Tag Punch. I stamped the small script stamp image from the Artfully Layered stamp set onto the Calypso Coral cardstock using VersaMark. I want a hint of the script image showing through. I stamped the sentiment using Black ink, and then I used the Wink Of Stella ad traced over the sentiment to make it sparkle. Don’t we all love a bit of sparkle in our lives?
Whew, that was a lot of typing! I enjoyed sharing my projects with you today. I am finding that I enjoy making slimline cards. I love the size and amount of space you have to play with! So many possibilities…
All of these products may be purchased in my online Stampin’ Up! Store by clicking any of the product photo links at the bottom of the post.

Happy Stamping!
