Sweetly Scripted Congratulations Card

Raise your hand if you like new product? Me, me, me! You’re in luck! Today, Stampin’ Up! releases a whole new slate of exciting Online Exclusives. As a reminder, these are paper crafting products listed online only. You won’t find these in any catalogs. Click here to check out the new offerings.

As a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, I received the opportunity to preorder the new goodies. The first stamp set on my order was the Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set

Sweetly Scripted Stamp Set

I love the font, and I love the fact that it includes the sentiments I use the most. For today’s card samples, I paired the stamp set with another Online Exclusive, the Flowering Zinnias 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper. This double-sided, patterned paper sports such vibrant colors, I just had to use it. This Designer Series Paper is really the star of the show!

Flowering Zinnias Congratulations Card

Here are a few details about this clean and simple card:

  • Lemon Lime Twist card stock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • Blackberry Bliss card stock layer measuring 5 1/4 x 4
  • Three pieces of Flowering Zinnias 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper measuring 1 1/2 x 3 3/4
  • White card stock piece measuring 1/2 x 5 1/4 for sentiment
  • Stamped sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink
  • Blackberry Bliss card stock piece measuring 3/4 x 5 1/4
  • Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack

This next card also features the thank you sentiment from Sweetly Scripted and the Flowering Zinnias DSP.

The Petal Pink layer measures 4 x 4, the Old Olive layer measures 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 and the patterned paper measures 3 x 3. Find the Petal Pink ribbon in the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack.

Hello, and welcome to the February Stampin’ Up! Trip Achievers’ Blog Hop. Thanks for joining us. As a group, we’ve worked our Stampin’ Up! businesses enough to earn the Annual Incentive Trip.

Be sure to visit all of the participating stampers to gain a host of crafting inspiration. Look for a list of hoppers at the end of this post.

I’m still playing with Stampin’ Up!’s SaleABration offerings. I just love all of the choices — everything from exclusive stamp sets, to Designer Series Paper packages, to coordinating dies, an embossing folder, ribbon, gems, and more. For me, SaleABration is Stampin’ Up!’s most exciting promotion. Who doesn’t love free paper crafting products. The promotion runs through February 29, 2024.

Today’s post showcases the Jungle Pals Stamp Set (available free during SaleABration with an order of $50 or more before tax and shipping) and the coordinating Jungle Pals Dies (available free during SaleABration with an order of $100 or more before tax and shipping). Inspired by my team member Sarah Vait, I created a fun, four-card set of cards featuring the fun animals showcased in the stamp set.
