Beautiful Embossed card swaps with foil accents

Our Team swap theme was to use foil or heat embossing on our cards. This was a fun theme that is especially easy around the holidays.

Today I’m sharing Jonna’s stunning card in Black, Silver & White:

Save

It’s a ‘Wow’ card for sure! She textured the Basic Gray card layer with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder seen here first and then rubbed it with Versamark ink. Then she heat embossed it with Silver embossing powder. Just gorgeous!

Her measurements are as follows:
– Embossed layer 3 1/2″ square
– Black layer 3 3/4″ square, Black greeting layer 3 3/4″ X 1 1/4″
– White is 4″ X 5 1/4″, White greeting layer is 3 1/2″ X 1″

The greeting is from the Branching Out stamp set.

It’s a beautiful card Jonna!

The kits below will ship out this week so you have plenty of time to finish them by December. And they’re quick & easy too!

The Christmas Tags & More cards are easy because there isn’t any stamping. The greetings are from the gold foil ephemera pack included in the kit.

Save

This kit to go includes a share of the festive designer paper, the ribbon, the peppermint gems, the ephemera greetings, the PDF tutorial and video too. Plus the pre-cut 10 cards that are all fun folds. All for $30 plus shipping. It’s a fabulous deal!

Don’t wait long; I have just a few left. Go here to get yours. *You will need to cut your new designer paper for the cards but my directions make that simple.

The other kit I created this month is also easy but does require stamped greetings. But there is very little prep & just a little trimming of the card bases to create these beautiful wintery cards:

Save

These cards could be winter or holiday; it’s your choice when you stamp the greetings.

This kit originated from a former Paper Pumpkin kit but I jazzed up the cards and added more to create 12 gorgeous cards. This kit includes 12 envelopes and a share of Peppermint gems plus the PDF tutorial.
I have a few left so grab yours soon. This kit is $29 and you can see it here.

**Remember to check out all of my kits to go and tutorials here at my shop; choosing more than one will save on shipping.

  Deloris chose to feature the Cutest Cow bundle for her Artist of the Month projects. She did an incredible job showcasing this cute bundle! 

  First is an adorable 'barn' card. Who wouldn't love to receive this fun card?

  Isn't that the best way to feature these cows!?  She cased Queen Bee Creations for this idea. I love the rooster in the window! 

  Measurements: 

  • Red card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2". Make a mark 1" inside the fold and 1" above & below the fold line on the edge. Score. 
  • White inside 4" X 5 1/4" – trim off upper corners to fit the fold
  • White strips to form the barn roof are 3/8" and the door are 1/4". 
  • Old Olive grass she cut into a wave shape and used her scissors to create grass

  Here's the inside view:

  Next is a sunrise 'Rocker' card using Old Olive & Daffodil Delight.

  The Deckled Circles are a must for these cards! See them here in our Online Store. 

  Here are her fun 3d projects:

  For the cow tail candy wrap she used our Blueberry Bushel Glorious Gingham DSP cut with a Deckled circle die. She simply added a few score lines to the middle so it would stand up.

  The Udder Stick (chapstick) holder was cased from Cards by TLC and features Berry Burst Glorious Gingham DSP. 

  I'll share more of her cute projects tomorrow!

  As you can see with her projects, the Cutest Cow bundle is super cute!  The stamp set & punch will be sold in the new Annual Catalog coming out in May. It will not be available in a bundle at 10% off though; the items will be sold separately.

• Latte Love Book Binding Z-fold with free project sheet

  March 27, 2024

  ---

  I am in love with this fun fold!  I call it a 'Book-binding' Z fold card.  

  This one is made with the A Little Latte designer paper seen here.  It's part of our huge bunch of Online Exclusive products.

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  The card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4" with two score lines (see the measurements in the free project sheet below). Then you add a second layer to the front flap to create this unique but easy fold.  

  I'm surprised this trendy designer paper hasn't sold out yet!

  Below you can see both versions of this card we made at my March card clubs.

  The coffee cups were fussy cut from the designer paper.  The stamps on the left are from the Latte Love bundle seen here.  The tag on front is from the Tailored Tags dies seen here.  I use these all of the time!

  I created a free project sheet you can download or print. These project sheets are so handy to have in an idea binder or folder. Download March 24 Club A Little Latte book binding

• Retiring items on the Last Chance list & info on discontinued items & price changes

  March 26, 2024

  ---

  Today I'm sharing lots of information on the upcoming Annual Catalog plus the retiring items.  

  The new Annual Catalog goes live on May 1st. The current Annual & Spring Catalogs retire April 30th. 

  These retiring items are now while supplies last. Some items are discounted but the discounts do not start until April 9th.   

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  However I wanted you to have the list beforehand because some of these products will already be gone once the list goes live.  So now is your chance to get the items on your 'gotta have it' list.  

  Click here for the Annual Catalog last chance list PDF. Here's the Annual Catalog list in Excel format

  Click here  for the Spring Catalog last chance list PDF. 

  I thought I'd mention a few items from the Annual catalog that I am surprised are retiring & will dearly miss:

  • Vanilla Envelopes & Vanilla Thick card stock
  • Vellum card stock
  • Double Oval punch – a big favorite!
  • Basic Border dies
  • Scalloped Contour dies

  Please remember to grab any of the In Color items that are retiring. This set of colors was a favorite of many. These could run out of stock at any time.

  We all dislike seeing price increases.  But like everything else these days some prices are going up in the new Annual Catalog. Costs are rising everywhere and Stampin' Up! has to raise there's to stay solvent. There are many companies that are struggling or closing and I'm happy to say that SU is still in good shape and in no danger of closing. I'm so glad they are proactive! 

  Below is a list of items where prices are increasing.  I tell you this now so you can stock up while the prices are lower.  Remember to use the host code links below when ordering.
