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

May 3, 2023

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:

Save

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….

Save

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!

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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!!

Sponge Brayer on an embossing folder? Cool effect!

January 24, 2020
Have you ever used a sponge brayer? Did you even know we carry them? We do! On page 181 of the annual catalog. Click here to see them.

Save

I used Pool Party ink and the sponge brayer to add ink to the flat side of the Parisian Flourish embossing folder seen here. Then I inserted my card stock or envelope flap into the folder and ran it through the machine. Super easy! Then just rinse the ink off your embossing folder when you're done. Our ink colors are water based so it comes off easily.

Click below to watch the video; it's at the end of this one below:

I used another 'stitched heart' on the front of this card using the Heart Doilies seen here. The few die-cuts are from the Stitched Be Mine set of dies in the annual catalog. See those here.

Save

I shared how to do this stitched heart doily in a previous FB live video. Click here to see it. It took me about 8 minutes to stitch and I do NOT stitch by hand much at all. Maybe once a year. That should tell you it's easy!

Fancy Fold Accordion Heart Doilies!

January 23, 2020
I dreamed of doing this fun accordion fold with the Heart Doilies in my sleep. I rarely do that! Do you?

Save

I shared how in this week's Facebook Live yesterday. My FB Live's are usually on Tuesdays at 11 am but I was out of town so switched to Wednesday this week. It's so simple! And you could do this with many of our dies too! Click below to see it.

I also traced the flap of my envelope onto the From My Heart specialty designer paper to make this card extra, extra special!

Save

Details:
- The pretty soft scallops on the edge of the DSP are from the new Braided Border punch. I did one length of it and cut it in half for both cards.
- The greeting is stamped on a Timeless Label punch and added to another Heart Doily. The stamps are from the Heart to Heart stamp set seen here.
- I used the new sparkly Faceted Gems from the From My Heart Suite. See them here
- You get 40 Heart doilies in one package for $5.50; a great deal at .14 cents each.
Cutting:
- I cut a strip of the From My Heart designer paper at 3" X 12" and cut that into two pieces 3" X 5 1/2" long. The hearts are the reverse side of the pretty foil double sided designer paper on the envelope. When you use these measurements you can get 8 cards from one sheet! It's a great way to use up the designer paper you may be 'hoarding'.
- The white layer inside is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"; my favorite size for inside cards as you can get 5 from one sheet of 8 1/2" X 11".
I folded each doily in half and glued each one to the next just on the outer curve. I adhered the folded doilies to the card with either Tombo liquid adhesive or Tear & Tape; it's super strong!

The Gang’s All Meer cute window card

January 22, 2020
This stamp set was one of the top free choices at my New Catalog Launch party earlier this month. People are loving it!

Save

I chose to create a window card to highlight these cute critters. We stamped them in Early Espresso and colored in with Crumb Cake blends markers.

**Did you know that when stamping an image you plan to color with our Blends markers you can use any color of our Classic ink pads? They are water based and the markers are alcohol based.

See the stamp set here. It's a free choice you receive for any $50 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion. This lasts through March.

Details:
- Coastal Cabana frame is 4" X 3 1/2" and I used a 2 5/8" square die to cut the window.
- The main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" thick White card stock
- 1 3/8" scalloped circle for the greeting and 1 1/2" circle in Daffodil Delight
- two 1/2" X 4" strips of Birthday Bonanza designer series paper
- The twine bow is from the Metallic Baker's Twine & Sequins combo pack; another FREE Sale-a-Bration choice!
