2 cards with the NEW Wonderful World bundle; Free during Sale-a-bration

I always join a few online swaps so I get a wonderful variety of cards back to share with my customers.  Today I'm sharing two that I created using the new Wonderful World bundle from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  

Sale-a-bration is everyone's favorite time to order from Stampin' Up!  Who doesn't like getting amazing products free?!  See it all here. 

This first card features the pretty floral stamp images and just a bit of the double-sided designer paper too. 

Save

My colors include Rich Razzleberry with a bit of Garden Green.  I inked the flower using markers and stamped once on the main card front. Then I inked it up again in Rich Razzleberry ink and stamped on scraps of White CS so I could fussy cut just the flower to pop it up on the card.  

That pretty detailed background die-cut is a die called Split Card Textures.  It's currently unavailable as they are out of stock.  It should be back sometime this week according to Stampin' Up!  See it here.

The greeting stamp is from the new Very Best Occasions stamp set in the Holiday catalog.  See it here.  The die-cut for the greeting is from the All That dies seen here.  

Here's a picture of the Wonderful World bundle you can receive free with any $100 Stampin' Up! order. Click on it to see it online.

This next card uses this same stamp set but a different image.  The colors are Rich Razzleberry with Mossy Meadow. 

Save

Again I inked the image with two markers; Rich Razzleberry & Mossy Meadow.  Be sure to huff on the colored stamp before stamping it onto your card stock. 

Details:

• The die-cut is from the Scalloped Contour dies. The Mossy Meadow card stock on the bottom is textured with the new Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder.  So pretty!  
• The greetings are from the new Very Best Occasions stamp set with the Double Oval punch.  Love how easy this punch is to use!  

Remember that you can earn this pretty bundle free with a $100 order.  Sale-a-Bration is the best time of year to get free products!  You'll also receive my free class in the mail with any $55 minimum order.  8see below

• Trusty Tools Latch fold card with free project sheet & video

  January 9, 2024

  ---

  On last week's Live video I created two fun fold cards featuring the Trusty Tools bundle and the Trusty Toolbox designer paper. 

  The Trusty Tools bundle is in the new Spring catalog and the Trusty Toolbox designer paper is in our Sale-a-Bration catalog. They're an incredible pair that is unique and perfect for handy guys or gals and coordinate together wonderfully! 

  This card is a latch card.  Both flaps open but the Poppy Parade flap is 'caught' by the layered greeting element.  

  Save

  It's hard to explain how it works but the video I made shows how easy it is.  It's all about where to place the Dimensionals to 'catch or latch' the card closed.  I like my cards to stay mostly closed so I created this closure option. 

  Here's what the inside looks like:

  Save

  My colors were chosen by the Trusty Toolbox designer paper – Black, Poppy Parade & White. This special designer paper can be earned free now during Sale-a-Bration with any $50 purchase through Stampin' Up!.  See it here. 

  I suggest ordering the Trusty Toolbox bundle and then choose the designer paper as your free Sale-a-Bration choice.  See the bundle here online.  

  Save

  A word of advice on choosing Sale-a-Bration items. If you want both a pack of designer paper and a stamp set and cannot afford to get both, choose the designer paper first. They usually run out of papers, dies & gems before they run out of stamp sets. Then choose the stamp set with your next purchase. 

  You can download the free project sheet for the Trusty Toolbox card here. Download Trusty Tools Latch-fold card

  Below is a photo of both cards using this special latch fold.  The card on the lower left is made with the Lighter Than Air designer paper in Lemon Lolly & Balmy Blue.  It's one of the cards featured in my Lighter Than Air pre-cut kit to go seen here.

  Don't you love this special card?!  Men's cards can be hard to make; many of use gals lean towards florals don't we? I appreciate when Stampin' Up! brings us products we can make for our men.

  My colors include Black, Poppy Parade, Pebbled Path, Gray Granite & White. This special designer paper can be earned free now during Sale-a-Bration with any $50 purchase through Stampin' Up!.  See it here. I think Stampin' Up! was so clever to create designer paper that mimics tools, toolbox and peg board!

  I suggest ordering the Trusty Toolbox bundle and then choose the designer paper as your free Sale-a-Bration choice.  See the bundle here online.

  Below you can see both projects I shared during the video. I'm loving this amazing bundle & designer paper combo!

• Heartfelt Hellos; a quick card featuring 4 Sale-a-Bration choices!

  January 5, 2024

  ---

  Here's another card swap I made recently.  This one features 4 different Sale-a-Bration choices. 

  Save

  Here are the 4 products I featured on this card; all from the Sale-a-Bration catalog that goes Live Thursday, January 4th.

  • 1st – the beautiful Flight & Airy designer paper. Gorgeous 12 X 12" designer paper featuring birds & florals.  *free with a $50 Stampin' Up! order
  • 2nd – the new Heartfelt Hellos stamp set; it's a $50 choice in our Sale-a-Bration catalog. It has 6 pretty greetings that all work with the new Heartfelt Hexagon punch (2024 Spring catalog)
  • 3rd – The Softly Sophisticated embossing folder – seen on the Calypso Coral banner. It's paired with the Softly Sophisticated stamp set and free with a $100 order. 
  • 4th – the gems are called Opaque Faceted Gems and are free with a $50 order. 

  Save

  My colors include Pecan Pie, Calypso Coral, White & Misty Moonlight – all featured in the Flight & Airy designer paper. 

  The circle is 2 3/8" and works nicely with the new Heartfelt Hexagon punch. 

  Save

  It's a beautifully simple layout that would be perfect to mass produce using your favorite designer paper. You could add extra layers if you prefer that; but sometimes it's good to let the pretty paper or greeting be the star.  

  Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • Designer paper 3" X 4" (you can get 12 from one sheet of 12" designer series paper!)
  • Banner is 5 1/4" X 1 1/4"
