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!!

  • Country Wreaths & Christmas Barn card ideas by the Flowerbug’s


    This week I've been proud to share my Team Christmas card swaps from our October swap event.  I am thrilled with the quality of our swaps each and every month!  

    Today's projects feature some pretty bundles in the 2022 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up!  First is a fabulous card by Candy with the Cottage Wreaths bundle. 

    Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, White & Crumb Cake. 

    Details:

    • It's an easy fun fold card; she trimmed off 1" on the right side of her card front to reveal the Lights Aglow DSP on the inside edge.  
    • She textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber 3D embossing folder. 
    • Silver 3/8" edge ribbon and Festive Pearls are the embellishments

    Next is a book binding fun fold card by Mary; she also featured the Country Wreaths bundle. 

    A book binding card is made by adding an extra score line to your 4 1/4" X 11" card.  Score at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2". 

    The DSP layers are 3/4" X 3 7/8" and 3 7/8" square.  Red layers are 7/8" X 4" and 4" square. 

    She used the Gingham Cottage DSP on her card front and Real Red & Garden Green card stock.

    Lastly today is a beautiful scene made by Roxann with the Christmas Barn bundle seen here.  

    Her colors include Cherry Cobbler, White & Mossy Meadow.  She used Blends markers to color the images and our new Very Best Trio tag punch on the corners.  

    Here's her inside view: 

    Stay tuned for more incredible swap cards by my Team.

  • Merriest Moments & Spruced Up Christmas card ideas


    This week it's all about sharing October's Team swaps with a Christmas theme.  I know you love seeing what they make as much as I do!

    First is a gorgeous card made by Kim with the Merriest Moments stamp set & Merriest Frames Hybrid embossing folder.  These products were a bundle in last year's Holiday catalog, but this year they are offered separately.  

    She used Starry Sky and White card stock with beautiful Silver embossing on the greeting and some of our gorgeous Silver mesh ribbon under the center panel.  

    Did you know you can cut and emboss card stock at the same time with our Hybrid embossing folder & dies?  See them here; it's sooo cool! 

    Absolutely stunning!

    Next up Paula used the same dies and stamp set, plus she added the Christmas Banners bundle to it as well.  

    Her colors are Real Red with Garden Green & White.  

    She turned it into a fun fold too but scoring the front panel one extra time at 2 1/8".  Look closely at the many die-cuts she has here! 

    Next is a beautiful card made by Brenda in blues & white with lots of layers.  

    She used the Spruced Up bundle seen here for the trees with lots more product as well.  

    Details:

    • Twigs & Springs embossing folder for the large White layer (seen in the annual catalog here)
    • She embossed her Vellum card stock with the Wintry 3D embossing folder
    • The DSP is the Storybook Gnomes seen here
    • That iridescent Snowflake is from the Wonderful Snowflakes seen here; all cut & ready for you & a great value!

    Stay tuned for more incredible swap cards by my Team.

    Each day this week I'll be sharing their swap cards; be sure to subscribe to my blog (or Facebook page) so you don't miss a thing!  

    Sharon featured the Sweetest Christmas suite on her beautiful card.  I love the clean white background that shows off the gorgeous die-cuts!

    Click here to see all of the products in the Sweetest Christmas suite.  There are two stamp & die bundles, ribbon, Glimmer paper and the fun Designer Paper.  

    The peek of Red glimmer paper adds a perfect sparkle to her card.  Here's the inside view: 

    Adding a strip of designer paper to the inside of your card is a simple way to embellish it to match. 

    Next is a gorgeous card by Karen featuring the Decorating with Happiness bundle seen here: 

    Her card is mostly White with Cherry Cobbler, Evergreen & Gold accents. 

    Details:

    • She cut the large pine die from both Evergreen & Gold glimmer paper and added them off set from each other.  
    • The greeting die is from the Stylish Shapes dies and the embossing folder is Timber 3D.
    • The pretty DSP is the Lights Aglow specialty DSP seen here.  
    • Elegant Metallic cord and Festive Pearls are the additional embellishments.  

    And next is another stunning card made by Tracey; this time with Silver accents.  She used White, Real Red and Black as her elegant color combination. 

    Details:

    • the White layers are from the Chic and Painted Label dies; the Silver is the Stylish Shapes die, embossed with the Wintry 3D folder. 
    • The gorgeous specialty black & Silver paper is called Metallic & Shimmer specialty paper; see it here.
    • She embossed the greeting in clear (or silver?) embossing powder on Silver paper!
