Cardmaker Collective Club: June 2023

Featuring the Gorgeously Made Bundle

Get ready for another month of beautiful cards…with my Cardmaker Collective Club, June 2023! The June Club Kit features the Gorgeously Made Bundle. Here is what you will receive in your June Club Kit:

  • Card kits (8 total, 2 each of 4 different designs, see sneak peek above!).
  • Cardmaking supplies (the consumable type, valued at @$22+, so use them up!).
  • Private video assembly tutorials and PDF card recipes (so easy to put together!).
  • Opportunity to purchase the featured bundle at 16% savings (save money, ask me how).

June Consumable Products

Your consumable items include:

  • A half pack of the Masterfully Made DSP (cut to 6 x 12″)
  • Full bolt of 3/4″ Herringbone Ribbon
  • Full pack of Adhesive Backed Sequins Trio

Order The Featured Bundle & Save

Since I will not be stamping for you using the Gorgeously Made Stamp Set, or
die cutting for you with the Gorgeously Made Dies, you may want your
own set! (Of course, these cards will look amazing using whatever stamps, dies
or punches you have on hand too.)

After you sign up for the June Club Kit, I will contact you to see if you
would like the featured bundle at the catalog price (you save… I
am paying the tax and shipping!). You just need to let me know if you would like to
add this item to your June Club Kit and you will receive a separate invoice for the Gorgeously Made Bundle.

Already own this bundle? Perfect! Just get the Cardmaker Collective Club Kit and you will have everything you need to make these cards per the included instructions.

Don’t Delay On The June Kit

The deadline to start your subscription to the Cardmaker Collective Club and get the June Club Kit is June 18, 2023. If you sign up after June 18th, you will be receiving the July Club Kit.

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!

Countryside Corners Thinking of You Card

Countryside Inn Mega Class, Part I, Card 3

Countryside Corners Thinking of You Card

The Countryside Corners Thinking of You Card is the third and last card for your Weekly Card Class From ME. But…this class is a Mega Class, featuring the Countryside Corners Bundle and the Countryside Inn Suite. What does that mean?

Get ready for twice the fun and inspiration! This class will last for 2 weeks. There will be more cards and ideas, all centered around one gorgeous suite. Need a few more details? Click here.

Countryside Corners Bundle

While I am using the Countryside Corners Stamp Set and the Countryside Corners Dies for this class, I am also doing something I have never done before!

For this class, I am stamping my image just once with Night of Navy Ink on White Cardstock. Then, I am using the dies to cut away different stamped sections for each of my 3 cards for this entire class!

This saves on repeated stamping and use of cardstock. It also gives me great variations of this stamp’s imagery to play with. Want to see which part of this stamped image on used on my second card from this class? Click here.

Stamping Options with the Countryside Corners Stamp Set

While I chose to stamp once and continue to use sections of my large image on 3 separate cards, you do have other options when using this stamp set. Here is a look at them:

Stampin’ Write Markers

I love that the Countryside Corners Stamp Set is made up of cling red rubber. That is because the cling red rubber works best to accept the ink from the Stampin’ Write Markers!

To ink up just a partial area of the stamp, grab those Stampin’ Write Markers and use the brush tip end over the image you want inked. Do a quick “huff” of warm breath just before you place the stamp on cardstock to moisten the ink for a better image.

Another great tip is to have a good amount of ink in your markers (this style is re-fillable, just like the ink for the stamp pad!).

Masking and Stampin’ Spots

Another way to stamp just a partial image is to mask off what you don’t want to stamp. I use painter’s tape, but post its and masking paper will work great too.

When you are working with smaller areas to ink, the Stampin’ Spots are perfect. I have a great collection from the monthly Paper Pumpkin Kits I receive, but you can also buy un-inked spots and fill them with ink refill yourself!

**Don’t forget to remove the masking medium before you stamp your image!

Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper

My Countryside Corners Thinking of You Card has a lot of pretty designer series paper, thanks to the Countryside Inn DSP! And during the month of June, Stampin’ Up! is running a sale on most of their DSP. Click this link to check out all the paper you can get at 15% off.
