Hello My Dear Stamping Friends,
Thank you so much for your orders. If you placed a $50+ order during July, your packets are on their way to you. Jim dropped them off at the post office yesterday (the 22nd).
As always, I love these cards. We’re trying to give you a masculine card each month—we’ll see if we can manage it. They’re a little harder to come up with.
If you’d like to place an order, visit www.stampinlady.com and click on Shop Now & Shop Now again—it may take a minute to load.
There are no more host codes; instead, you’ll receive 10% of your order (before tax, shipping & spent rewards) in Rewards points that you can spend at a later date.
If you place a $50+ order (before tax, shipping & rewards) during any month, I’ll send you a packet with four card kits in it.
My next event is Bingo on September 26th. We always have lots of fun. We’ll stamp four or five cards in the morning and play 10 games of Bingo in the afternoon. The cost is $40 & $35 for club members. The hours are 10-4. Please bring your lunch.
If you have any questions or if I can help in any way, call or text me at 303-888-1862.
I appreciate you every day. Many hugs, Pat
Scenic Adventure/Spotlight on Nature Christmas Card
Inspired by Su Mohr
I love this card & especially the embossing folder.
It’s exactly as it looks. It might be a little hard to see the red circle layer under the beige circle—it just gives you a touch of red & gold.
There are dimensionals under the large trees & greeting piece. The small tree has mini dimensionals under it.

Perfectly Pears Flip Flap Card
Original by Jill Olsen
I love this card. It’s easy but a little tricky to explain. You can always call me (303-888-1862).
The ribbon is wrapped around the large piece of designer paper and tied with a knot on the front. We didn’t use any dimensionals on this card.
Pay close attention to the layout of the pears on the back of the yellow greeting piece before stamping the greeting. (The pears will be upside down when you stamp the greeting on the front.) This is the piece that goes inside the Flip Flap.
When determining the position (exact size you want it to be), a helpful hint is that you want it to be the same size (after folding the top down) as the Mossy Meadow piece. You should be able to kind of crease it with your fingernail.
The opening of the Flip Flap is on the inside.
The pear & stem are attached to the front of the Flip Flap (on the outside).

Poppin’ By Ice Cream Cones Card
Original by Laura Seki
Isn’t this card adorable?!?!
To cut out your cones, you’ll need to first cut out your pattern. Then turn the designer paper with the back side up and trace three cones on it (you’ll probably need to turn the pattern around for one of the cones). If you trace it on the back, your pencil marks won’t show.
The envelope flap & front designer paper piece match one of the cones—there are several different color combinations. Enjoy yours.
