Dainty Delight Card Class

Dainty Delight Bundle

Dainty Delight Card Class

Welcome to your Dainty Delight Card Class! This week, I am using the Dainty Delight Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. This bundle is found in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog, and will carry over into the upcoming 2023-2024 Annual Catalog as two separate items.

What does that mean? Well, this bundle is technically retiring. After May 1, you won’t be able to purchase it as a bundle. This also means you will no longer save 10%.

If you want the best value, get this now! Otherwise, you will pay more in the future when you buy the Dainty Delight Stamp Set and the coordinating Dainty Delight Dies individually.

Want to see another card class featuring a retiring bundle with products that will be available in the Online Store individually? Check out this fantastic class featuring the Nested Friends Bundle.

The Dainty Delight Bundle

The Dainty Delight Stamp Set and the Dainty Delight Dies make up the Dainty Delight Bundle. When you purchase the bundle (both items together using a specific item number) you automatically save 10%, as mentioned above.

While either of these items are wonderful separately, using them together is most magical. Of course, any flower stamp is perfect as a stand alone item. I will be showcasing that in my Dainty Delight Card Class.

And when you add in flower die cuts, your cardmaking options really expand! You can use the Dainty Delight Dies to die cut stamped images, or as cardstock flowers to enhance your projects!

Live Card Making Class On Monday

Every Monday at 8pm EST, I am live with your weekly card making class on my FaceBook page, The Maine Stamper. I create 3 beautiful cards and share tips and techniques along the way. This class serves as your tutorial when you receive your card kits in the mail and need to put them together.

Get Your Card Kits For Free

Dainty Delight Card Class kit

Yes, FREE. You will receive 2 each of 3 card designs (for a total of 6 card kits!) when you place an order of $35+ (before tax and shipping) in my online stamping store using Host Code JUD9YQE7 thru April 22, 2023. I will mail the card kits on the Monday following the live class.

Want more details about what is in these kits? Check my blog post here for more info.

Get A Bonus Gift For FREE Too!

When you bump your order to $50 (before tax and shipping), I will send you the card kits AND a full pack of the Pearl Basic Jewels that I used on my sample cards, for FREE. These great embellishments will come in handy for lots of different projects you have going on.

*These old-fashioned Basic Pearls have now retired and are sold out. If my current supply runs out with card kit orders this week, I will substitute another embellishment as needed.

Your Card Class From ME Awaits

I hope you enjoy the Dainty Delight Card Class with my FaceBook Live Event on Monday, April 17 at 8pm EST. Please join me to see how easy it is to put your card kits together. If you miss the live, catch the replay on FaceBook or my YouTube Channel, The Maine Stamper.

I look forward to getting your weekly card kits from Maine in the mail to you. And I know you will be looking forward to receiving them and creating gorgeous works of paper crafted art!

This is an auto-renew club, your card will be charged every month on or around the same date that you first sign up. But, you have the option to cancel you membership at any time. Try it once, or keep receiving the kits!

If you continue to receive kits monthly, after 6 consecutive kits, I am gifting you with a $25 reward certificate, good on any current merchandise in my online Stampin’ Up! store. That is your club benefit!

Nested Friends Thinking of You Card

Nested Friends Card Class, Card 3

Nested Friends Thinking of You Card

We are on to the last card from my Weekly Card Class From ME. As I continue to use the Nested Friends Bundle by Stampin’ Up!, I am falling more and more in love with it!

Speaking of Fall-ing, this card from my class is all about an “Autumn themed vibe”. Looking for a more Summer-y approach? Check out the last card here from my Nested Friends Card Class. And if you missed my Spring time version, take a look here!

Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder

What better embossing folder for my Autumn themed Nested Friends Card than one that features falling leaves? I pulled out the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder and used it not just once, but twice on my card!

On the Cajun Craze background, the leaves play a whimsical role. I love how they peep out from behind my additional layers. And speaking of those layers, I embossed my Petal Pink punched circle with the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder too.

Fall-ing In Love With Quick Color

I am not a huge fan of tedious coloring. In fact, I prefer to stamp, add a second layer of ink, and go!

So for this Nested Friends Thinking of You Card, I opted for an easy color solution. First, I stamped my bird image from the Nested Friends Stamp Set in Early Espresso Ink on Petal Pink Cardstock. Next, I die cut my bird image with the coordinating die from the Nested Friends Dies.

And lastly, I added Early Espresso Ink around the edges of my die cut bird. This adds a lot of definition and makes my bird stand out against the Petal Pink punched circle that is his backdrop. All of that to avoid stamping an image and coloring it in (it’s a great shortcut!)!
