You can use many different greertings for this card. I chose the sympathy stamp from Seaside Bay. Sympathy cards are not fun to make, but can be such an encouragement.
One of the Sale A Bration options with a $50 order is Adorable Owls. Who knew how cute owls could be! I decided to use it for a Valentine card using the greeting Hoot Hoot Your so cute.
When I cut the 6x6 designer series paper, I first cut 3/4" off leaving 5 1/4 x 6, I then cut it in 1/2 so I had 2 3 x 5 1/4 pieces. I used the Simply Scored to score it at 2 1/2 and folded back the flap and adhered it. This allows you to see both sides of the Designer Series Paper. Save the little 3/4" strip. I adhered it to the envelope. This dresses up the envelope.

Who would of thought I would have a Hippo stamp set! I waited to get Hippest Hippos, but once I started seeing some card ideas, I added it to my order. I decided it needed our bright In Colors since it is just a fun image.
The last few cards I have made are pretty bright. I can't stop using our new in colors!
To make this card I used our Dots and Spots die on Orchid Oasis. I ran a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" piece through the Stampin Cut and Emboss machine, and then cut that in 1/2 so it is 4 1/4 x 2 3/4".
I stamped on the die cut circle and the colored in using our Stampin Blends.
I embossed the Sweet Sorbet piece using our Gingham embossing folder to add some texture.
The greeting was stamped on a piece that was punched using Banners pick a punch. This punch is quite versatile. You have 2 banner options, and each banner has 3 sizes. I used the 3/4" size for this card.
Hippest Hipposis only available while supplies last or the end of this month. It is free with a $50 order. The Dots and Spots die is in our catalog, but it was also added as a free option in August with a $100 order. How awesome is that! You can see another card I made using the Dots and Spots die here: https://www.stampingwithkristen.com/2022/08/spots-and-dots-card.html
Have you seen our Dots and Spots die? Stampin Up just added it as a free option for a $100 order for August, the final month of Sale A Bration! I paired the die with our new In Colors in the card below. I love how bright and vibrant they are!
This card just made me smile when I was done creating it because I just love how fun the die cut dots are with the bright colors. They really "pop" with the Black behind it.
I used Celebrate You Stamp set for my greeting. It is a great set with a good variety of greetings. I like all the different fonts used in the set. I added a few of our In Color Matte Decorative Dots to the greeting to add some color.
Below is a video I made a video showing how I made this card.

My favorite Hostess item from our catalog is Pattern Paper. You get 48 12x12 designer series paper for $18 when you have $150 in orders. This is a fantastic deal, and I really like these papers!
The catalog is almost over, so I wanted to show a way to use up some of your designer series paper.
Cut your designer series paper 4" x 12" that way you get 3 cards for each designer series paper.
Score at 1" and 6 1/2"
Cut a coordinating colored piece of card stock 3/4" x 4" to adhere where you fold back the 1" flap. I chose black for these cards.
I put a white piece on the inside that is 5 1/4" x 3 3/4" to write on.
I made a video showing this card.
Biggest Wish is a fun greeting set. I like using 2 different colors for the different sized greetings. The Tasteful Labels Dies are being discontinued at the end of the month, but may sell out before them. They are my favorite dies! Don't miss out on your chance to get them!
As demonstrators we get a catalog early, and can order some of the items ahead of time. The bundle I wanted is shown on the front cover of our new catalog. The Stamp set is called Happiness Abounds, and it has many great greetings and flowers in it. The Dies are called Blossoming Happiness. The Glossy Dots are fun colors and are great to add to cards.
I made two cards to showcase the bundle. This first card shows the Glossy dots and the detail of the dies.
You can see the detail the intricate die gives. It cuts and embosses at the same time.
The next card shows how 2 sheets of the designer series paper works with our dies. You can cut out the different flowers and leaves. The only think I stamped was the greeting. I fussy cut that.
Isn't this paper fabulous? I love the bright colors. You can buy these items in our next catalog which begins in May. You don't have too long to wait.
I made a video showcasing the products:
My next Stamps In The Mail begins this month. Here is the breakdown of what you will get.
April Ocean Front Stamp Set
May Happiness Abounds bundle
June Glossy Dots.
Each month you will receive a package from me with 4 card designs and supplies to make 2 each of the 4 cards, plus the items from Stampin Up.
To sign up you commit to 3 months at $42 a month. You must do all 3 months- In May you will get more in products than the fee, and in June you will get less. It all works out in the end. This is going to be a great round of Stamps In The Mail! Let me know if you would like to join us!
