I love all the beautiful paper in the catalog and love finding card designs that highlight both sides of the paper. I hope you will be inspired by this design and create some cards that show off more beautiful paper.


Thank You

You may remember the card I created recently to use for thank you notes. Greg and I have received more food and gifts that we could have ever imagined. I finished 20 of the cards on Tuesday and Greg wrote the notes. The notes are written on post it notes so the card can be used again if desired.

Decorating the envelopes finishes them off nicely. It’s like the accessories that match your outfit. In the video I demonstrated stamping the envelope to finish off the Sending Smiles card and used a piece of designer series paper on the envelope flap to finish the You Are Wonderful card.

What do you do to decorate your envelopes?

The greeting stack may look familiar to you. It was inspired by a card on page 1 of the catalog. The cards on page 1 feature the Hues of Happiness Suite from pages 108 and 109 of the annual catalog. The June card club will feature this suite.

I’m so glad that Stampin’ Up! gave us another Host set of designer series paper. I think I might even love the 2022-2023 paper more than I love the pack from the 2021-2022 catalog. This paper can be selected with Stampin’ Rewards; Stampin’ Rewards are earned on orders of $150 or more and used to select products for FREE.
