In addition to the cards that Barb created with the BY THE BAY SUITE COLLECTION (page 22, Mini Catalog) she created this framed piece as a gift to me.  To say that I am thrilled is to minimize my response.  I love it!!!!  It is hanging in the Cat/Art Studio with another, similar use of the DSP, that I created.

REGENCY PARK SUITE

The Petal Park Stamp Set and Petal Park Punch are part of the Regency Park Suite Collection starting on page 30 in Stampin' Up!'s Mini Catalog.  It is an extensive suite with two bundles,  an embossing folder, ribbon, embellishments and paper!  I particularly like the Textured 12" x 12" Shimmer Paper in three colors!  This stamp set has leaves and flowers and coordinates with the Petal Park Punch which will cut out the three main flowers.

Petal Park Thinking of You Card

For this card, I used a Balmy Blue card base, and attached a 1" strip of Country Gingham DSP to the right edge. I cut a white panel and used a die from the Basic Borders set to cut a decorative edge along the right side.

The leaves are stamped in Mint Macaron. The outline stamp is full strength, and the solid stamp was stamped off once on scrap paper for a lighter hue. I did the same with the flowers in Balmy Blue on a Basic White scrap and punched them with the Petal Park Punch. I stamped the greeting from Go To Greetings in Balmy Blue.

The white panel is adhered to the front of the card over the DSP strip and the flowers are attached with Dimensionals. Finally, the card is embellished with Pastel Pearls.

Go To Greetings is one of my favorite stamp sets in the Annual Catalog, you can find it on page 26. It has FOUR different greetings in THREE sizes, plus a small Hello. It definitely is my Go-To sentiment set when I’m cardmaking, as there’s a greeting for almost everything ~ in a variety of sizes!!!  You'll love it!


Tips Time ~

 

I spent most of yesterday unpacking five orders that UPS had delivered this past week.  As you can imagine, that is a lot of Stampin' Up! products!  So, I just wanted you to know that as hard as I try there are occasions when I miss something and your order might not be correct.  So, Tips Time ~ be sure to follow up and make sure that Susan Elise did get your order correct!

When you purchase anything from Stampin' Up! always check your order to make sure everything is ok.

  • Make sure that all of the Stamps stamp a good image
  • Are ink pads nice and juicy?
  • All Markers are juicy and not dry?
  • Paper is not bent?

Stampin’ Up! Has a wonderful return policy but we need to contact them within 90 days

One exception to that is the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machines have a 3-YEAR WARRANTY!

You can contact me with any issues and I can help you.  If I don't have an answer or can't make the correction to your satisfaction I will be happy to call Stampin' Up! for you.
