Love-June 2022 Blog

 Hello! Hello, Family and Friends. Well it's June, unbelievable. This year is flying by. I hope you all are being blessed with the beginning of summer. 

The new Stampin' Up! Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Catalog will be available in July. I am so excited! Christmas is my favorite time of year and there are so many wonderful Christmas products in the Mini Catalog. I can't wait for you all to see the wonderful new products, as well, as being treated with free productions from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. You will be able to order free products with any $50.00 or $100.00 purchase you make from Stampin' Up!. So look for the links to the new catalogs in July. 

This card was so much fun to make. I was not sure how it was going to turn out but I am so pleased.  I used three different hues of blue. Any color you choose would make a beautiful card. Have fun and play around with various Stampin' Up! ink pad colors.

5. Using a dauber and Balmy Blue ink lightly apply ink to the inside of the flowers. 
6. Using Balmy Blue ink and second generations stamping (ink up stamp, stamp off on scratch piece of paper, then stamp on card stock) stamp watermarks randomly around the flowers.

8. Wrap Tahitian Tide Metallic Woven Ribbon around the front of the card stock and adhere edges of the ribbon to the back using mini glue dots. Tie a bow and adhere to card front using a mini glue dot.
