Stampin' Up! May 2017 Customer Gifts| NEW Pieces & Patterns + Pick a Pattern

It's my favorite time of the month again...time to show my AMAZING customers even more appreciation!! Each month I absolutely love sending anyone who shops with me a handmade card + treat! It means so much that you choose me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator and this is one way I can share just how thankful I am!

For the month of May, I am sending these cute cards and goodie bags featuring NEW product from the 2017-18 Annual Catalog which launches tomorrow. I used the Pieces & Patterns stamp set + the coordinating Pick a Pattern paper. I love this set!

Each of the treat bags contains 18 4 x 6 inch sheets of retiring designer papers. I thought it was the perfect farewell treat to some great designs! Watch the video tutorial below to see how I created the card and gift bag embellishment, plus check out the Pick a Pattern designer paper up close.

Stampin' Up! Swirly Sympathy Card

So, this card took me what felt like forever to create! I had to create a card using the colors from my team color challenge this week:

Smoky Slate

Soft Sky

Tempting Turquoise

Pumpkin Pie

The addition of Pumpkin Pie in this combo was really blocking my creativity. I don't use orange,except for Peekaboo Peach...actually, I usually forget about orange unless it's fall. Anyhow, I finally came up with this idea and after lots of fuss this is the finished product! What do you think??

Project Measurements Smoky Slate card base 5.5" x 8.5" Smoky Slate layer 4" x 5.25" Whisper White .75" x 3.5"

The edges of the smoky slate layer have been inked in smoky slate to help give more dimension. I also adhered this layer using dimensionals. 

Stampin' Up! Floral Fresh Fruit Card

I am so going to miss the Fresh Fruit stamp set! I don't know what it is but I just love fruit stamp sets! I decided to use this set once more because I realized I never used this big beautiful flower image. Only 3 days left for Retiring Products. The new catalog  launches on June 1st.  

This week I challenged my team of Quitabug Stampers to share a project using any kind of embossing. This is the card I shared. Did you know you can emboss any of our ink colors using clear embossing powder?! How awesome is that! Simply stamp in any of our ink colors and pour the clear embossing powder on immediately, while the ink is wet. Then heat it with your heat tool and you have a beautiful embossed image!

Stampin' Up! Birthday Banners Card

So, I've had the Thoughtful Banners stamp set for months now and never really noticed the solid rectangular image in the set. I don't know how, but I didn't. I see lots of possibilities with this one image in this stamp set and I can't wait to play with it more! For today's project I used four of our NEW In Colors: Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Powder Pink, and Fresh Fig
