The timing of my son’s accident put me off schedule on my posts a bit. Sorry about that. I had planned to share the details of our May promotion a week ago, but instead I just included it in the promos section at the end of my posts. (By the way, he is doing much better than last week. School is back on our calendar! He’s excited to get back, he’s not taking pain meds, and he’s back to being as mobile with the crutches as he was before the surgery. I’ll share more photos soon.)

The Share What You Love suite of products that will be available on pages 176-178 in the 2018-19 Annual Catalog debuting June 1st are being offered a month early (May 1-31) in the following bundle choices:

• Share What You Love Just Getting Started Bundle
• Share What You Love A Little More, Please Bundle
• Share What You Love Gotta Have It All Bundle
• 2018-20 In Color Ink Pad Assortment

Here are a few cards that show off these fun new products. I LOVE the colors and the pearl sheen in the designer paper! And that font in the stamp sets?! SO pretty. The first three cards are ones I received in my monthly swap. The talented demonstrators that made each card are named in each photo.

Gorgeous swap cards, right!?

This last one just features the Share What You Love designer paper and uses the Apron of Love stamp set, coordinating framelits, and a few punches. This will make a great Mother’s Day card for someone who loves to cook or bake. But it would also work for a birthday card or just to say thank you.

Products:  See below for a full visual list of supplies linked to where you can find them in my online store.

There are 4 paper designs in this Share What You Love Designer Series Paper pack that have a pearlized sheen. This blue/green design is one of them. Can you see it on the large flowers? I tilted the card a bit in this photo to show it off.

Here are measurements and a few tips/directions if you wish to recreate this card.

Measurements:

• Whisper White Thick Cardstock: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ and folded in half for card base & scrap for stamping and punching 1-1/4″ Circle
• Mint Macaron Cardstock: scrap for punching Pretty Label Punch
• Silver Foil Sheet: scrap for punching 1-3/8″ Scallop Circle & scrap for die-cutting utensils
• Tranquil Tide Cardstock: scrap for die-cutting utensils
• Share What You Love Designer Series Paper: two pieces that are 1″ x 4″ each & scraps for cutting out a couple flowers (for the inside of the card).

Tips/Directions:

1. Attach the designer paper strips to the top and bottom of the card front. Attach the cut out designer paper flowers to the inside of the card.
2. Stamp word images onto Whisper White scrap – “Mom” in Tuxedo Black ink and “Best Ever” in Mint Macaron ink.
3. Punch out with 1-1/4” Circle Punch.
4. Layer this onto the Silver Scallop Circle.
5. Adhere this to the center of the punched out mint Pretty Label using a Dimensional.
6. Attach this whole thing to the card front so it is centered between the two designer paper strips and off to the right side.
7. Add rhinestones to the mint punched label piece.
8. Apply Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets to the back of the Silver Foil scrap and the Tranquil Tide scrap. Die-cut the utensils from each of these scraps.
9. Cut off just the handles from the Tranquil Tide utensils, and stick them onto the silver utensils.
10. Then stick the silver utensils to the front and inside of card.
