Dandy Garden Suite coming soon in the Jan-Jun Mini Catalog

Today is typically the day Alison or I share a card we CASED from the Stampin' Up! Catalog. However today I am going to share a super fun fold stand up card created with the Dandy Garden Suite of products that will be released January 5 in the Jan-Jun Mini Catalog.

I don't often share cards this early but I am too excited to wait, loving this suite! One of the fun perks of being a demonstrator is getting our hands on product during a preorder the month before it goes live.

Today's card features the images and words from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set #154411. The designer paper is the Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper #154297. I stamped the dragon fly and punched it out with the coordinating Dragonfly Punch #154240.

Notice the cute little ladybug embellishment? It is from the Lady Bug Trinkets #154299, you get 20 of then in a package.

I made 10 of these fun fold stand up cards in a variety of colors to recognize the Top Ten Demonstrator in sales on my team for the month of October. My amazing Gold Elite team is called the Diva & Dude Stampers.

I am going to show you a few of the samples to show off the paper. Like always it is so much prettier in person. The Dandy Garden Paper is 6" x 6" and comes in 48 sheets, 12 double sided designs, it is acid free and lignin free.

This card shows two of the designs and the card base and dragon fly wings are Bumblebee.

This one I stamped the wings in Calypso Coral and the flowers and dragonfly in Mossy Meadow.

This one has the same paper on the bottom as the first card I shared and while the top looks similar it is a larger print than the first card.

This card is monochromatic using Blackberry Bliss.

This card base is Bumblebee and the blue is Misty Moonlight both 2021-2023 In Colors.

Another monochromatic card in Misty Moonlight. All the papers in the cards is from the Dandy Garden Paper Pack.
