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:

Crafting with you Bubble bath 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….  

Crafting with You Azure 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!  

Crafting with you both Live 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.

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.  

CRAFTING WITH YOU BUNDLE (ENGLISH) 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!!

  • I’ve got more ideas yet! Botanical Layers bundle cards with video

    I challenged myself to use each pattern of the vellum included in the Lovely Layers vellum.  You can see it here; you get 60 sheets in the pack!  It includes 4 different prints and many sheets of plain vellum too. 

    This first card has a printed circle on it.  The easy solution was to add a die-cut wreath.  I used three sets of dies here; the Natural Prints, Amazing Thanks & Hydrangea dies.

    My colors are Parakeet Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White.  The vellum in the kit is 1/4" larger than the 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" white layer.

    Remember that it helps to place a White layer under your vellum to see it's true color.  

    BOTANICAL LAYERS BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    Here are two cards; both using the Lovely Layers Vellum.

    For this card I textured it with the new Quatrefoil Tile embossing folder.  Embossing vellum is a wonderful way to add it to your projects; it's texture and opaqueness is so beautiful.

    The colors are Polished Pink & Parakeet Party.  I used the Poppy Moments and Natural Prints dies for the greenery and the Nature's Prints stamp set for the stamped leaves and greeting.

  • 2 more Botanical Layers card ideas!

    Once I started I couldn't seem to stop creating with the Botanical Layers stamp set.  I made this card for an online swap:

    Botanical Layers lavender Save

    It's a Dutch door monochromatic card in Orchid Oasis.  Do you like these type of cards as much as I do?  I find cards with one main color very soothing to the eye and just plain pretty!  

    I stamped the main image multiple times without reinking.  I love that about our inks; you can get multiple hues with one color. 

    Details:

    • The card front opens at the bottom only.  
    • I used the Stitched Greenery die for the inside White layer.  
    • There is a half circle of Orchid Oasis ombre glimmer paper at the top with the bow.  
    • The tag is from the Tea Cup dies; the greeting is from the Cup of Tea stamp set. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X8 1/2"; score at 4 1/4" then trim off at 2 3/4" up to the top of the card.  Save this piece for the front layer
    • Front layer (cut from the card base) is 2 3/4" X 4"
    • White front is 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"; inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

    Botanical Layers lavender Save

    This next card was made with the Inked Block technique. 

    Here's how:

    • I colored an 'H' block with Stampin' Write markers in Starry Sky, Orchid Oasis & Tahitian Tide. 
    • Then I spritzed alcohol on it (you can use water; alcohol dries faster) and pressed it onto my White CS and let it dry. 
    • Lay a piece of copy paper over it and set something heavy on it so it dries flat. 

    Botanical Layers lavender Save
    After it's dry I stamped the botanical image in Starry Sky ink and used the Timeworn Type embossing folder.  

    The greeting is also from the Botanical Layers set; the die-cut is from the All That dies. 

    You can see a video on this technique here.
