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!!

  • 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.  


    Below is the video with these projects & lots more!

  • New Artfully Layered stamp set with Plenty of Pattern masks; embossed grid technique & video


    Here's a card made in my series featuring the Plenty of Pattern masks from a recent FB Live seen here.  I think it's super neat!  

    I explain how it's done in the video here.  Basically I laid the mask over my card stock and repeatedly pressed my Versamark ink pad directly over it.  Then I heat embossed with Clear embossing powder & my heat tool. I love this effect!

    The greeting is from the Artfully Layered stamp set in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog.  It will be in a bundle with the Tropical Layer dies at 10% off.  

    After I created the embossed grid background layer I used a scalloped stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies to die-cut a piece from the center.  Then I adhered the outside piece to my Black layer and added the center piece on Stampin' Dimensionals. I wanted the Black to show a bit behind it.  

    The oval die-cut for the greeting is from the Beautiful Layers dies; also from the upcoming new catalog. Adding a 1/2" Black strip brings the Black outer layer forward a bit.

  • Easy Medallion cards with the Plenty of Patterns masks with video


    I played with the Plenty of Pattern masks on last week's FB Live and here are three cards I shared.  Follow me on Facebook here. 

    I decided to feature some of the pretty 2021-23 In Colors.  This first card is in Fresh Freesia. 

    I used Blending Brushes and Fresh Freesia ink to add the medallion to the CS. The flower in the center is made with our Shimmer In Color Vellum paper & the Dandy Wishes dies seen here.  

    The greetings are stamped on a strip of White CS.  The edges are created with a new set of dies coming out in the 2022 Jan-June catalog called the Tropical Layer dies. It's a scalloped/stitched edge die I ran through twice. 

    Above is Soft Succulent with a Vellum CS flower. 

    Here's a photo of all 3 of them together.  Here you can see three of the four medallions in one of the masks. They're all unique and so pretty! 

    And next is our pretty Pale Papaya color.  The flower center is cut from White CS and the edges are curled up and sponged. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Sponged CS 3" X 4 1/4"
    • White layer 3 1/4" X 4 1/2", greeting strip 1" X 3 1/4"
