A Pretty Nests of Winter Diagonal fold card from the upcoming Holiday catalog

August 20, 2024

Release of Close to My Heart products today!

If you didn't realize it, Stampin' Up! purchased product from Close to My Heart Earlier this year and have taken on any CTMH Makers that wanted to continue promoting stamping & scrapbooking products. In the future we will be offering a larger line of Scrapbooking products! This is great news for scrappers! Super Exciting!!

Before we get to today's project, I wanted you to be aware of some new products in the Online Store today. These items includes former Close to My Heart products that have only been available to CTMH customers until today. Know that these items will likely sell out fast as there isn't a large quantity of products.

See it all here.

And now for some stamping projects – I love everything about this card!

It features a brand new suite called Nests of Winter which is seen in the upcoming 2024 Holiday catalog. We made it at a team meeting a few months ago and I shared it and two other cards on last week's Live video.

The birds & branch are from the Nests of Winter designer paper, as well as the birch paper too. So pretty! My large circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies which are currently unavailable (for the umpteenth time!).

It's almost a fun fold; it's basically a standard Pool Party card that has the front panel cut off on the diagonal. The designer paper starts out at 4" X 5 1/4" and is cut on the diagonal for 2 cards. Tip – make sure you cut it at the right angle – from bottom right to upper left. (I did it wrong and wasted a piece)

Here's the inside view:

This die-cut circle is from the Deckled Circle dies seen here. They're available only in the Online store right now.

Below is the video for other projects in this suite as well as sneak peaks of all of the upcoming 2024 Holiday Catalog designer papers!

Newest 5 sheet wonder with Positive Thoughts

February 13, 2020

I knew the Positive Thoughts stamp set would be perfect for a one sheet wonder but it's even better with my 5 Sheet Wonder!

Save

What is a 5 sheet wonder? See the templates above the cards here? Those are the 5 pre-measured templates you use for the layers on each of the cards. Absolutely no measuring here; just cut on the printed lines! My husband and I have created multiple 'wonders' with printed layers to make card making easy. See them all here.

The neutral 'one sheet wonder' template is what you stamp on, creating your own patterned paper. First you'll print the template on it then flip it over to stamp on. The other 4 templates are colored 'layers' for your cards. Cut on the printed lines for perfect layers!

Pleased as Punch; another fun fold card with optional pocket

February 12, 2020
I am loving the spring-like Pleased as Punch designer paper; it's available now while supplies last! See it here. I highly suspect this paper will run out before the end of March. I have no inside information but it's happened before and if you really want it; don't wait! click here to get yours.

I knew I wanted to make the focus of this card a square shape so I could add four pieces of the Designer Paper on the front with the greeting on top. So I had to figure out a way for the side to be separate. I rarely make square cards so this was my compromise.

I adhered the side flap to the card base just at the outside edges to form a pocket. This is for either money or a gift card.

Details:
- Front greeting is Seriously the Best stamp set. I cut apart the 'Hello Friend' greeting so I could ink it up separately.
- Inside stamps and front flowers are from the Thoughtful Blooms set; free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.
- Flower punch is the Small Bloom punch; free during Sale-a-Bration.
- Front stitched die-cut is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies
Measurements:
- Mango Melody card base – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". I cut up to the score line at 1 1/4" on the outside edge. The extra piece is textured with the Coastal Weave embossing folder. It measures 7/8" X 4"
- White – 4" square
- Balmy Blue 1" X 5"

Power of Hope meets Peacock Foil

February 11, 2020
For our February Flowerbug's Team swap we chose to do a swap featuring Sale-a-Bration cards. They are all fantastic! Over the top wonderful. I cannot wait to share them all with you.

Here's the one I made using the Power of Hope bundle seen here. It's one of the free items you receive with purchase during our Sale-a-Bration promotion from now through March 31st; or while supplies last. I do suspect this will sell out before March is over.

I textured the Noble Peacock Foil (seen here) with the Stone embossing folder from this bundle. Adding texture to this pretty foil brings it over the top! I also added a layer of vellum and a few flags of Peacock foil. It comes in 6 single-sided sheets of 12 X 12" foil paper. 2 each of 3 colors: Blueberry Bushel, Old Olive, Pretty Peacock. There are Noble Peacock rhinestones that match this paper perfectly.

Measurements:
- White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", White stamped layer 2 1/2" X 3 3/4"
- Vellum 2 3/4" X 4"
- Foil paper 2 1/2" X 4 3/4" plus two 3/8" strips
- Black 4" X 5 1/4"
