June Card Class "New Friends"
Happy new Stampin’ Up! Catalog Year! It was a busy June so I missed posting this before the month ended. In June’s class we used a mix of old and new--a few critters with some florals too. Recipes are included with each project and the supply details are listed at the end of this post. Thanks for stopping by!
Card 1: Elephants and Balloons
Let’s start with the card that features “old friends”. This pair of elephants is celebrating a special occasion with these bright Poppy Parade balloons. All stamps used were from the Little Elephant stamp set and the shapes were punched using the Elephant Builder punch and Balloon Bouquet punch.
Here is the recipe:
Stamp Set: Little Elephant
Crumb Cake cardstock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2"
Bermuda Bay cardstock 2 1/8” x 5 1/2"

Card 2: Floral Impressions Panel Card
This card base uses one of the new In Colors – Purple Posy. To create the panels, it was scored at 3 1/4” and 8 3/4” along the 11” edge. Fold toward the center to create two panels—they are not uniform in size. I wanted the larger panel to fit a 3 x 4” piece of designer series paper (DSP) to maximize the number of pieces I could cut from a single sheet. And the DSP used is the beautiful new Perennial Essence DSP that is inspired by impressionist images. The sentiment piece was attached with dimensionals only to the left side of the card. The light colors of the flowers in the background on the whisper white cardstock were created by first stamping off.
Here is the recipe:

Purple Posy cardstock 4 1/4 x 11”, scored at 3 1/4” and 8 3/4"

Card 4: Time for Tags Scalloped Notecard
This card features three images from the new Time for Tags hostess stamp set with the coordinating Timeless Label punch, also new. The base is the new scalloped notecard, that comes in 4 colors—we used Terracotta Tile, Balmy Blue and Old Olive. The 4th color that we didn’t use was light pink. The scalloped notecards come in a pack of 20, 5 of each of the 4 colors with coordinating scalloped edge envelopes. They are the same size as the regular notecards. A great option for easily creating cards.
