Welcome to the Be Inspired Blog Hop!
This month’s theme is….Sale-a-Bration…Take 2!
I wanted to share an item from the Sale-a-Bration promotion that I feel may be overlooked…the Summer Shadows Dies on Page 13! They coordinate with Shaded Summer Stamp Set from page 75 of the Annual Catalog (see below).


Do you have the Shaded Summer Stamp Set from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog? If yes, then you NEED the coordinating Summer Shadows Dies that can only be earned for FREE with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-Bration (ends September 30, 2021 or while supplies last).



Begin with a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of Very Vanilla Thick Cardstock. Score and fold at 5 1/2.
Zip the following pieces of cardstock through a Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine tucked inside the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder:
- Soft Succulent – 4 x 5 1/4
- Very Vanilla – 3 x 4
- Blackberry Bliss – 2 1/2 x 4 3/4
Adhere the embossed Soft Succulent cardstock to a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 piece of Soft Succulent Cardstock with distressed edges (use can use a Bone Folder or Paper Snips Edge to distress) together and to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Distress the edges of the embossed Very Vanilla Cardstock and adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Adhere the embossed Blackberry Bliss Cardstock to a 2 5/8 x 4 7/8 piece of Blackberry Bliss Cardstock with distressed edges together. Double wrap with Very Vanilla Essentials Baker’s Twine and adhere to the card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Use the brush end of Blackberry Bliss and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Write Markers to color the stamps. Huff on the stamp to remoisten the ink. Stamp onto Very Vanilla Cardstock. Crop with the coordinating Summer Shadows Dies. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Stamp the sentiment in Versamark Ink onto a piece of Soft Succulent Cardstock. Cover with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Set with a Heat Tool. Crop with the Snow Time Die and a Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
