Here's is my first alternative card for my July 2023 Online Card Club. When I make my alternatives, I use the supplies that come in the card club to show how to change the club cards up a bit.
With a $39.50 monthly subscription to my Monthly Online Card Club, members get $21-$27 worth of Stampin' Up! product (DSP, ribbon, embellishments, etc), card kits to make 2 of each of the 3 cards I make every month, exclusive video tutorial, pdf for cards, & shipping. You'll also have the option to add-on either the stamp set or bundle that is featured that month to your monthly subscription.
Exclusive for Current Card Club Members...When You Choose to Add-On Either the Featured Stamp Set or Bundle, I'll Pay the Shipping & Sales Tax For You!
That's a Savings of 18%!

I chose the bundle I featured in my card club last month for my first July alternative club card. It's called Darling Details Bundle, and it's in the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. The bundle includes the Darling Details Stamp Set & Darling Details Dies, and you save 10% off the price of purchasing them separately when you buy the bundle.
The ornamental grass die-cuts on each end of the floral arrangement were made with a die from the Earthen Textures Bundle. Since I do the die-cutting of non-stamped die-cuts for my club members, these die-cuts were in the club card kit I chose to use for this card. I think they add the perfect accent to my floral arrangement.
My card club this month also features the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper (DSP). My alternative card uses a different DSP design from the pack than what I used on the original club card. Since I include a half pack of the DSP to my club members, they have the option to change out the design to the one they want to use on their cards.
This month, my Card Club members also get a full pack of the Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed Dots and the full roll of the Natural Wavy Trim. The trim has been so popular that it sold out over a month ago. Thankfully, it became available again this week.
The Brushed Metallic Dots have 3 different colors in the pack, and they are gold, copper, & bronze. There are 2 sizes in each metallic color, too. On this card, I used one large & two small gold dots from the pack.
One of the easiest ways to customize the inside of the card is to put a strip of DSP across it. I chose to use a narrow strip of the same DSP design I used on the front of the card.
