See 2 ways to use the new ‘Crafting with You’ bundle in my video


On my weekly Live video I shared two, well actually three ways to use the incredible Crafting with You bundle seen here from Stampin' Up!  It's new in the 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog.  Here's one of them:

It's perfect for the seamstress or quilter. I couldn't resist making a card featuring some of our frequently used tools – like the paper trimmer and die-cutting machine….  

This set has so many options for crafters! It has an easel & paint brushes, yarn, embroidery hoop, sewing machine, paper crafting etc.  It's loaded!  

These cards feature TWO of our newest colors in our color families.  Left is Bubble Bath and right is Azure Afternoon.  I used Smoky Slate, White, Black and a bit of silver on my cards.  

I stamped my large white layer with the same ink as the card base and because it was a little busy I added a layer of vellum over it.  Then a stamp of Bright & Beautiful DSP before I added the textured 3" circle.  The circle also helps tone down the busy background.  

A few neat tips on this card: there are two different baskets you can add items to including the yarn, paint brushes, spools of thread or even flowers.  

I show how to make the scissors in the video.  You need to cut out two; one in black and one in silver.  Trim off the silver ends and add them over the full, black scissor die-cuts.  

For the paper crafting card I stamped the greeting on a strip of White cardstock and inserted it into the paper trimmer.  Love that the die-cut leaves this option for us.  The black 'knob' on my trimmer cuts out separately so you can add it in place as you like.  They thought of everything on this set!!

  • Fun with Plenty of Pattern masks with techniques & video too


    I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend!  We sure did. The kids come home for Christmas from other cities in North Dakota and we have some fun traditions like an appetizer showdown, presents, lots & lots of games & yummy food.  My kids are still here so the fun continues another day yet! 

    ~~~

    Here is another card idea with the Plenty of Pattern masks I shared on last week's FB Live here. 

    This card features an ombre' effect on Vellum card stock using the Plenty of Patterns masks and a new bundle from the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog

    For the ombre' effect I used Night of Navy, Pacific Point, Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana inks along with Blending Brushes. You can see how it's done on the video here.  


    I kept is super simple otherwise.  I layered the sponged vellum on a piece of White CS and added a greeting and leaf die-cut. 


    You can see the Plenty of Pattern masks I used here.  They are so fun to play with; especially if you like sponging or techniques. 

    The neat leaf die-cut is in the Artfully Layered bundle in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog as well as the greeting. 

    Below is the video with these projects & lots more!

  • Gingerbread & Peppermint fun fold cards – easy to replicate!


    Merry Christmas!!  I hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday.

    We made this neat card at my December Card Clubs. I love the double Z fold design. And it makes great use of both card stock and designer paper! 

    I used the Gingerbread & Peppermint bundle for the stamps & dies.  Unfortunately it's sold out already.  And so is the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper. Retiring Holiday Catalog time is so hard!  

    But you can use this card layout with other designs and occasions.  One thing I love about this card is that the inside accordion piece is perfectly sized to get 4 out of an 8 1/2" X 11" piece of card stock so it's great for mass producing.  

    The colors are Real Red, White & Mossy Meadow.  

    Measurements: 

    • Red card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
      Mossy Meadow 2 3/4" X 8 1/4" scored every 2 3/4"
      DSP 2 1/2" X 4" for front, two squares at 2 1/2"
      White 2 1/2" for inside greeting, scrap for die-cut label

    Other products used here:

    • Real Red 3/8" Mini Ruffled ribbon (Holiday catalog)
    • Meadow dies for the pretty greeting label die-cut
    • Clear rhinestones

  • Plenty of Patterns with new Tropical dies; video tutorial


    This card in Pacific Point & White is so pretty!  I shared how to make it on last week's FB Live.

    The window frame is made with the Stitched Rectangle dies on a piece of White CS 4" X 5 1/4". The pretty die-cut leaf is from a new set of dies coming out in the 2022 Jan-June catalog called Tropical Layer dies. 

    I used White Craft ink with the Plenty of Pattern masks seen here & below.  I did not use a sponge; I pressed the ink pad directly onto & through the mask on a separate piece of Pacific Point CS.  You can watch how it's done in the video here.  It's the first project. 

    The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set that coordinates with the Tropical Layer dies.  It will be in a bundle at 10% off next year.
