I thought this Share What You Love Love What You Do card was appropriate for the last day of the current Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog! Today, June 3, until 11:50 PM MT is your last chance to order any retiring Last-Chance Products from Stampin’ Up! It’s also the last day for the spring Occasions Catalog. Can you believe it?! As much as I love the holidays, I always find when I use some new products out of the Occasions Catalog when January comes, it feels SO good to make something new and fresh that is not for the holidays. And now that time has flown by!

This card, made with the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper and stamped with the Love What You Do Stamp Set greeting I think expresses what probably all of us Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators feel. We love sharing stamping with others and we love what we do in teaching people to stamp and helping them with their projects. It’s just a great stamp set and beautiful paper. I’ve loved all the floral patterns in this set of papers, but I’ve also been drawn to just this simple printed pattern so I chose to use it for this card.

The ribbon is the Rich Razzleberry 1/4″ Velvet Ribbon which goes perfectly with this paper. It is discounted on the Last-Chance List! So is the Share What You Love Paper!

The greeting is stamped in Rich Razzleberry and die cut with the Stitched Shapes Dies and layered on a scalloped circle die. I added a few Gold Metallic Pearls on the greeting.

Remember, today is the last day for the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog! Page through it at least one more time and check it all out, especially the Last-Chance products. They are best viewed online to see what is still available!

Share What You Love Z-Fold Card For a Friend Front

If you want to change it up a bit, try this Share What You Love Z-Fold Card For a Friend. Z-Fold cards are very easy to make – just fold back half of the front of the card!

I chose the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Paper because it will be retiring soon. I love this paper and I wish it was staying around. It’s nice heavy paper and so pretty in so many ways! I also love the stamp set Love What You Do that coordinates with the paper.

To make this card, make the card base and fold. Then score the front of what will be the card in half, which would be 2 1/8″. Fold that back on the other half of the card front and decorate with designer paper and ribbon. Cut a 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″ piece of designer paper and wrap a piece of ribbon around. I used the Tranquil Tide Velvet Ribbon but I think it is sold out. There is another Tranquil Tide Ruffled Ribbon that is available.

I put a strip of another pattern of the designer paper inside on the Whisper White layer. I could also have put it on the inside of the white layer. There are so many variations of this type of card.

The greeting is from the Love What You Do Stamp Set with some stamped flowers. This is die cut with the Layering Ovals Dies. Then I used one of the scalloped ovals to die cut the Tranquil Tide layer. Be careful to only put adhesive on the portion of the greeting to stick on the front fold of the card. Make sure it’s not going to stick to the inside of your card!
