Card Ministry Team

Lynne Galewski

Lynne Galewski, a lovely Stampin' Up! demonstrator, created this display for the members of her church.  The 'sign' says ~ "Do you know someone who needs encouragement, a prayer or just a friendly 'Hello' ~ we may have a card for that."

Thanks for sharing your wonderful project, Lynne.

When you receive your new catalog and have a chance to enjoy the changes that you see turn to page 140 to view the INDEX.  It is a very detailed index which is great but sometimes we need something more 'general'.  A lovely demonstrator in England recently posted another index, a simplified version, that you can download, print, trim and adhere to the inside back of your catalog cover.  Try it and let me know what you think.  Thank you Liz Shannon!!!


Layered Florals Thank You Card

There are so many ways to use the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder! Each beautiful flower in this folder will add depth and movement to any card, scrapbook page, gift tag, or other paper craft.

Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder
#162935, $11, p 65 Mini Catty

Here’s an easy card idea using this folder and your Stampin’ Blends to create a real standout feature.  This folder has been very popular ~ so popular that it is being carried over into the new annual catalog.  And, speaking of the new catty ~ it is being delivered to my stamping friends as we speak.  I have had a number of messages in the last three days that it has arrived!  Yours is on its way!  (If you don't receive it soon, please let me know as I will have one for you!)
