Create Simple, Pretty Cards for All Occasions
It’s a perfect stamp set by my measuring stick! Shaded Summer is a 10-stamp set with three images and seven sentiments perfect for cards for all reasons. It debuted in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.
When the summer Sale-a-Bration brochure was released — lo and behold — Shadow Dies. Yay! Nothing kicks a perfect 10 up like coordinating dies. And the price is right — FREE! With your $100 purchase now through September 30.

Crafting with the perfect stamp set is now easier thanks to dies that outline crop the floral sprays, and additional dies and overlays.
Step-by-Step Video Tutorial
Die-cutting with Stampin’ Up!’s Shaded Summer was the subject of a recent Friday Facebook LIVE. I shared the measurements and the step-by-step instructions to create two cards, and I shared a peak at a third card crafted with the dies. In case you missed the Facebook Live episode, I have snipped and inserted the edited version here. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel so you don’t miss any of the projects I offer.
Stamp, Color, Die-Cut
A Basic White layer showcases the largest image of the stamp set, which was stamped using Basic Gray ink. A touch of color was added using ink from the pad and a Blender Pen.
After die-cutting and arranging on Basic White, a small snip of wood paneling from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper stack was added to ground the flowers. Linen Thread and Matte Decorative Dots add the finishing touches.
Monochromatic Fun-Fold
Old Olive and wood grain showcase the smaller floral spray of Shaded Summer. Two Old Olive patterned papers were selected from the Rich Regals 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Assortments.
Layered Die-Cuts
Nothing adds sparkle to a card like Rainbow Glimmer Paper. Here, the overlays were cropped from selected sections of the rainbow paper, and layered atop the solid leaves and flowers in the same color. One simple greeting expresses the sentiment. Early Espresso 1/4″ Faux Suede Trim and Gilded Gems add the pizzazz.
