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!!

Triple Stack & Cut cards with free project sheet & video tutorial

September 26, 2023
I'm a bit addicted to this card layout! I'm calling it the Triple Stack & Cut card.

Save

You start out with three different patterns of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5". Stack them together and make the upper right cut – a triangle. You could measure it but I just made sure my stack was even and sliced it off. It's approximately 3/4" from the upper left and 1" from the lower right.

Then for the remaining pieces you continue cutting all three pieces at once, cutting approximately in half on the diagonal and about 1" from the lower left.

You can now mix & match so one piece of each pattern can fit on each of 3 card fronts. I adhered them to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Berry Burst card stock. That then adheres to your card base – I folded back my front to create a fun fold design.

Save

Tip: Note that the patterned paper has a large print, a small print and one without pattern. This can help your card appear soothing and less busy.

I shared how to do this on the video below. In the video I used the Traditions of St. Nick designer paper; another Online Exclusive seen here.

I used the Christmas Classic bundle seen here with Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow & White card stock.

Save

The Mossy Meadow leaves are from the Christmas Classics dies. Here are the three cards I made:

All About Autumn Accordion Fold card

September 25, 2023
Check out this beautiful swap card Karen made with the All About Autumn Designer series paper:

Save

That pretty greeting is from the Autumn Leaves stamp set; the die is from the Timeless Greetings bundle. This beautiful designer paper (All About Autumn seen here) is not currently available. It will be back in later October though.

The card front doesn't look at all like it might be a fun fold does it? But check this out!

Save

It's called an Accordion fold and she cased this card idea from Sue Campfield. The designer paper on the front is most of the card front; it's adhered to a small layer of card stock though. *You can see the back of the designer paper front on the photo below.

She did an awesome job on the inside of the card; so many layers and textures galore! The texture is from the new Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder seen here.

Save

The scattered leaf Rose Gold foil die-cuts and gorgeous DSP are so pretty.

The Autumn Leaves bundle can be seen here.

Measurements:
- Card front 1 3/4" X 5 1/2" Peacock card stock and 3" X 5 1/2" designer paper – adhere to create 4 1/4" wide
