Team Meeting & a Sneak Peek

This is the card we made at my downline meeting last night. We used the Summer Smooches DSP, which is so bright and cheerful - I just LOVE it!  If you join Stampin' Up!, you can pre-order this paper (and a bunch of other stuff) now; if you are a customer, you'll have to wait until April 1st for the promotion to start. (For more details, click on the top button on the left.)

This is a Joy Fold card, with the top flap option. (If you scroll down the SCS tutorial, you'll find the measurements for this option right under the YouTube video.) The top flap is held in place by a 1" circle, stamped, popped up on a dimensional, and barely peeking out from under the blossom.

There are actually two sneak peeks on this card - the Summer Smooches DSP and the Summer Smooches Fabric Designer Brads!

Stamps: Mixed Bunch, Perfect Punches
Cardstock: Island Indiso, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Summer Smooches DSP
Ink: Island Indigo, and Daffodil Delight Classic
Accessories: Blossom Punch, 1" Circle Punch, Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon, Summer Smooches Fabric Designer Brads, Stampin' Dimensionals

Fun Times and a Sneak Peek!

Wow, what a whirlwind of fun I had with Jennifer Timko!  It was such a treat for me to be able to stop what I was creating and ask her opinion on a particular element, because I so admire her style.  I wish we lived closer!

We worked on an upcoming SUO Challenges theme (that I can't show you yet), but this one I can share with you.....

Ladies and gentlemen, please pay particular attention to that bow, and the lovely seam binding ribbon with which it was made.  That's Daffodil Delight seam binding ribbon, and it will be available for pre-order from the new Stampin' Up! annual catalog starting April 1st!!!  There will be other selected items from the new catalog in the Summer Smooches promotion, as well. The order period is April 1-30, and I'll be featuring some of the new items over the next couple of weeks, so be sure to check back!

Jennifer showed me her trick for making her exquisite bows, which I hope to be able to show you if the video turned out. That's my project for later today, after the refrigerator repairman's visit. (Funny coincidence - Jennifer had the exact same thing happen to her fridge - same make and model!)
