Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper

Comments: 0

I ran across another card I created using the Share What You Love Suite.  As I’ve said over and over again, the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper is the best.  Not only are the designs gorgeous and some of the prints have shimmer and shine on them, but the paper is also thick, like cardstock, so it opens the door to more possibilities.

Stampin' Up! Share What You Love Suite, Stampin' Studio

The idea behind this card was shared at On Stage in Milwaukee.  Because the designer paper is thick like cardstock, I used it like cardstock for this card.  Let me explain:  The card base is Rich Razzleberry and measures 5-1/2″ tall x 5-1/4″ wide and i’ts scored at 4-1/4″.  The floral print is cut 5-1/2″ tall x 4-1/4″ wide, and it’s attached to the inside of the card front flap, so that you can see the other side of the designer paper on the inside of the card.

On the 1″ wide Rich Razzleberry front flap, I added a 5-1/4″ x 3/4″ piece of DSP.  The Old Olive horizontal banner breaks up the business of the floral DSP and the stamped floral banner.  I added a bit of the 1/4″ Rich Razzleberry Velvet Ribbon and a few of the Artisan Pearls.  The small “hi” sentiment was created by stamping the “h” and “i” from the Make a Difference stamp set.  That’s a 143 piece photopolymer alphabet set which will allow you to stamp any words your heart desires.  Because of the flowing font in this stamp set, connecting each letter together is truly a piece of cake.  This stamp set and the whole new Annual Catalog goes love it just one week!

Saran Wrap Challenge Party

OMG, we had a great time earlier this week when I hosted a Saran Wrap Challenge Party at my Stampin’ Studio!  What is a Saran Wrap Challenge you ask?

Saran Wrap Challenge, Stampin' Studio

Well I ordered lots of Stampin’ Up! product (retiring and brand new upcoming items) and wrapped them in a Saran Wrap ball for a bit of friendly competition.  One by one I wrapped each prize in a 2-3 foot piece of Saran Wrap, making a ball and adding another prize and more Saran Wrap, and another prize and so on until I had 40 prizes valued at nearly $400 wrapped into one large ball.  Items like washi tape and rolls of ribbon and embellishments made their way into the ball, while things like Packages of Designer Series Paper and Framelits, and cardstock and stamp sets didn’t get wrapped into the ball.  For the larger items, I wrote the name of the prize on a label and attached the label to a poker chip which got wrapped inside the ball.

All participants sat in a circle and one person put on oven mitts and started unwrapping the ball while the person to their right rolled two dice until they got doubles.  Once doubles were rolled the person with the ball had to pass the ball onto the person to their left along with the oven mitts and the first person became the roller of the die.  There was laughter and cheering as well as a bit of frustration when at times a person would just barely get the mitts on when the roller would get doubles.  Everyone it attendance won at least one prize while some skilled unwrappers won as many as 6 prizes.  Here’s Jeanne working hard at unwrapping the ball of goodies while Jean was rolling for doubles.

New Annual Catalogs were handed out and everyone made a “ring of color” which was a swatch of every color of cardstock available in the new catalogs.
