2 more great card ideas with the Basic Border dies!

April 20, 2023

Before you get to the projects today I want to let everyone know about the current shipping delays. Stampin' Up! had their highest sales day ever on April 4th – by almost 20 times the average! Wow! They are quite behind and have added extra staff and longer hours to get caught up. So if you're wondering where your order is, it's coming….it will just be about 8-10 days longer than normal.

~~~

This week I'm sharing our April card swaps from my Flowerbug's team. It's so fun to see what they make; everyone has their own unique style. I LOVE swapping with them!

Annette chose the Beside Me stamp set for her card. She is a master at coloring and sponging.

Save

Her colors include Blueberry Bushel, Basic White & Black. The Blueberry Bushel layer is textured with the Timeworn Type folder; the greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies.

She cut two curves for her card; one with the Basic White layer and another with a Black layer. She colored the image in with Blends markers.

Next is a neat card made by Karen who also used the Basic Border dies seen here.

Save

She used the die to cut off the edge of her card and then used that second piece to create a 'vertical window' for her By the Bay specialty designer paper. This pretty paper is discounted on the Last Chance List. See it here.

Her greeting and die-cut layers are from the Something Fancy bundle in the Spring catalog. It will be in the new Annual catalog but no longer as a bundle at 10% off.

See the Basic Border dies here: I love these dies; they're so versatile. Luckily they are carrying over into the new Annual catalog.

No one likes to hear that prices are going up. I know that. Unfortunately like everything else right in our world lately Stampin' Up! has cost increases. Unless they pass this along to us….. well, you know what could happen and we don't want that!!

Below is a list of the price changes occurring in the 2024-26 Annual Catalog. If you need any of these products I suggest you get them now; in April!

I am stocking up on many of my favorite colors of card stock this month. I'm also grabbing more envelopes too.

Remember the Last Chance sale starts next week, Tuesday, April 9th. It's tempting to wait to order some of these items. But already there are several items out of stock/sold out. So if you NEED something I suggest you get it now! See these lists here.

Here is more info on how Paper Pumpkin works:

A MONTHLY CRAFTING SUBSCRIPTION

EVERYTHING YOU NEED IN A CRAFT BOX

One issue crafters often run into is feeling overwhelmed by their project. Lack of inspiration, proper supplies and crafty know-how might discourage you from even starting a project and unlocking your creative potential!

This never happens with a craft subscription box from Paper Pumpkin. That’s because everything you need for your project is included in your monthly art box. All you have to do is open it up and get started. You’ll be able to make cards, treat bags, gift boxes and so much more with your monthly art box subscription.

BUILD YOUR STAMP COLLECTION

Among the items in each Paper Pumpkin monthly craft kit is a reusable rubber stamp. So after you’re done creating your monthly craft, you’ll have a valuable stamp to add to your collection. You even get a free clear stamping block with your first craft box. Plus, you get a different color ink pad every month as well.

PRINT & VIDEO INSTRUCTION MAKE CRAFTING EASY

Even the craftiest among us worry that we’ll have trouble understanding how to do a project, or that we’ll make a mistake. You never have to worry about that with Paper Pumpkin! That’s because not only does each monthly arts and crafts box come with clear, easy-to-understand printed instructions, but we also upload a video to YouTube so you can watch a professional guide you through the craft.
