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!!

  • Unique ideas with the Oh So Ombre designer paper; Promo ends Sunday!


    Here are a few more ideas with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre designer paper.  It has been my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!  

    Playing with strips has always been fun for me.  On this first card I started with one sheet of DSP and cut it first at 4 1/2" long.  Then I cut strips off of the main piece at random angles.

    Next I laid these strips on my grid paper and stamped the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set on them using Granny Apple Green ink.  

    I then glued these strips to a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of White CS leaving a thin 1/16" gap between.  I didn't worry about the edges at all.  After I was done I trimmed them off even with the main White CS.  

    Next is a fun card playing with the Playful Alphabet and 1/2" strips of this pretty Ombre paper.  I adhered the letters to the end of the paper strip with rolled up mini glue dots and trimmed any excess off that showed around the letter. 

    The 'birthday' greeting is from Vine Design and the bottom edge is punched with the Postage Punch.  

    Below are more cards I shared in a video you can see here.

  • More ideas with the Oh So Ombre DSP & A Touch of Ink stamp set; both FREE for just 5 more days!


    The end of Sale-a-Bration is nearing and I had to get one more play in with these two amazing products. A Touch of Ink stamp set & Oh So Ombre Designer Paper.  Both of these are free with a qualifying order through February 28th.

    This sliding latch card is quite unique and fun too.  My friend Karen shared it with us at a recent Team meeting and I had to learn how to make it. She found the idea from Chris Slogar.  It's so cool!

    You need the Classic Label punch, Designer paper and a few punched or die-cut images for the front and inside.

    I chose to use the flower and hummingbird images in this set.  I stamped the flower using both the outline and solid images.  For the hummingbird I stamped the outline image on a scrap of White CS and colored it in with Blends markers.  Then I fussy cut it out and added to the circles.  

    This card is so neat!  But you'll definitely want to watch the video below to catch the important 'how to' tips.

    Next is a fun card with a neat masking tip using the leaves in this set.  I stamped them in a 'round' to create a loose wreath. 

    I chose to use the Granny Apple Green and Bermuda Bay papers and inks here.  Watch the video below to catch my matching tip to connect the four stamped leaf images perfectly.

    Click on the video below to see how I made these and one more Fun Fold card!

  • A Touch of Ink Fun Fold card with Oh So Ombre; quick & easy!


    We made these pretty fun fold cards at my February card clubs!  I think the A Touch of Ink stamp set is incredibly versatile!  There was an option for everyone's needs. 

    I shared this card on my FB Live yesterday plus two others with this paper & stamp set.  You can see it here.  

    Aren't they pretty?!  I feel like these two Sale-a-Bration choices go together perfectly.  The Ombre DSP lets the stamp shine though.  You can get either or both free with an order through February 28th.  Sale-a-Bration ends then and there won't be anymore 'free' with purchase options.  

    Go here to see the A Touch of Ink stamp set and here to see the Oh So Ombre DSP.  

    I added some of our new Black Matte gems and the pretty Black Glittered ribbon too.  That neat stitched die-cut is from the Stitched Nested Label dies seen here.

    • Black 5 ½” X 8 ½” score at 1 ½” and 4 ¼”
    • Designer Paper – 5 1/2" X 6". Cut in order from left to right so the pattern matches making sure the 6" side is along the top.  2 ¾” X 5 ¼”, 1 1/8” X 5 ¼”, 2 1/8” X 5 ¼”. Plus the last piece on the right is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"
