Beautiful Balloons ‘latch’ fun fold card; new products in the Annual Catalog

I've sure been enjoying playing with new products from the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!  The Bright & Beautiful suite is one we could pre-order early as a Demonstrator. 

Here's one of my recent projects: 

Save

I made it with my Flowerbug's Team on our monthly Zoom gathering. It was a mystery card designed by Candace. 

My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blueberry Bushel and white.   

Save

I placed the top panel on the left edge of the front card fold, adding Dimensionals to just the very left edge.  It allows the right fold to 'latch' and hold the card closed.  Below is a photo showing how the right side 'catches' under the front panel. 

Save

Measurements are: 

• Card base 5 ½” X 7 ¼” scored at 4 ¼”
• left panel 4 ¼” square score on one side at 1”
• front panel 2 ½” X 3 ½”
• Basic White 4” X 5 ¼”(inside)  & front is 2 ¼” X 3 ¼”
• Portrait DSP 2 ¾” X 5 ¼”
• Portrait DSP; same or different 3” X 4”

All of these products are now available in the new Annual Catalog.  If you don't have a local demonstrator let me know; I'll send you one for just $5.  If you order from me online first I'll send it free!

• Christmas Season is for Fall too! Watch the short video tutorial!

  September 22, 2021

  ---

  Here's one of the cards we made at my September card clubs.  It features the Christmas Season bundle.  But as you can see, it's not just for Christmas! 

  Save

  I love using non-traditional colors for Fall.  I used Cajun Craze, Bermuda Bay, Vanilla and Crushed Curry. We stamped the images and then added texture with the Timber or Timeworn Type 3D embossing folders.   

  Here's the Christmas Season bundle. Look at all you get!  Remember this bundle is FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit through September, 2021.  It's such a great deal; if you love Stampin' Up! products I honestly believe it's the best thing you can do for yourself.  Click here to get started saving money and enjoying being a part of the Stampin' Up! family.

  Or purchase this bundle and get a free Sale-a-Bration choice through September.

  The greetings are from the Biggest Wish set.  It's one of my very favorite sets!  It's so fun to layer the greetings!

  You might notice the pretty Dazzling leaf die-cuts here.  That is from the Sunflower dies and the Be Dazzling specialty paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Sadly it is out of stock now.

  Think of the many stamps you own that you could create a pretty background with.  Simply add a greeting tag over it.

• Fun Treat box made from our Acetate Card Boxes

  September 21, 2021

  ---

  Did you know we carry the perfect size clear box for gifting a set of A2 cards?  You can see them here or on page 137 of the annual catalog. They fit about 4 cards inside depending on how many layers there are. 

  Save

  Well Marilyn cut one box in half and created this adorable treat box for her Card Club friends!  

  Save

  It features the Cute Halloween designer paper and Frightfully Cute stamp set. 

  There's a template for the card stock below.  She used the Basic Border dies (seen here) to cut the bottom edge but you wouldn't have to.  If you don't use the Basic Borders Dies on the edge, you could cut the 5-1/2" down to 5".

  She filled it with lots of treats & embellishments.  It also fits an entire full size Kit Kat bar! 

  Save

  She uses a mini velcro dot for closure.  The card stock is actually inserted inside the box and mini glue dots are used to keep it in place.  

  Save

  And here's the template for the card stock insert.
