Beautiful Glitz & Shine card swaps


Today is the second batch of Glitz, Shine or Glimmer card swaps by my Flowerbug's Team.  You'll love the wide array of gorgeous cards they made! 

But first I have to tell you about the Last Chance & Carry Over lists from the 2023 Holiday catalog. 

 

The holiday catalog ends January 3rd and they've released the items that are retiring AND those that will carry over into 2024. *see all items here!

This Last Chance Products promotion will include two lists: a retiring list and a carryover list.

Details:

  • Not all items on the Last Chance Products List will be discounted. 
  • All products are available while supplies last, and there are no purchase limits.
  • Stamp sets are not guaranteed during this promotion and are while supplies last.

  • Super neat fun fold card that’s easy with my tips! Free project sheet & video tutorial


    You're going to love this neat fun fold card I'm sharing today.  

    It doesn't look like much of a fun fold card does it? Look a bit closer to the right pink flap on this card; see how it's sticking up a bit at the bottom? That's where it opens.  

    I featured the Sentimental Framing stamp set seen here on the pretty greeting here. 

    The layered circles are from the Spotlight on Nature dies and the 2 3/8" circle punch. The leaf die-cut is from the Gallery Blooms dies. My colors include Bubble Bath with Mossy Meadow & Blackberry Bliss.  

    Here's how it opens. The horizontal strip holds the right side of the card base closed with a type of 'latch'.  

    I hope you watch the video below to see how easy this fold is.  

    Here's the free project sheet with measurements & a supplies list: Download Sentimental Framing latch fold card

    Below is the video for this card and TWO more with this neat bundle and the coordinating Celebratory Sips DSP seen here.   I love this colorful & unique paper; it's something completely different!

  • 3 Stamping Tips you need to know!


    I thought I'd share some of my favorite tips with you today.  

    • how to use a ruler – some people find this extremely challenging
    • standard card sizes and layers
    • which ink to use when coloring with markers

    First up is the ruler and card measurements.  Understanding measurements can make card making so much easier!

    I hope the above graphic helps you when you're creating a card. Save it or print it out. 

    ~~~

    Next I have a helpful photo for coloring your stamped images.  It's very important to use the correct ink to prevent smearing as you color. 

    I do also want to share a few more tips for coloring:

    • Use Stazon ink when coloring with colored pencils, blender pens, water painters or when picking up our Classic ink from your ink pad.

    ~~~

    Lastly is a list of the three types of stamps Stampin' Up! offers.  It might be hard to read so I'll share the details in this list:

    1. Photopolymer stamps are entirely transparent and adhere to your clear block. They're flexible and easy to use; especially with 2-step use.  
    2. Clink stamps are made of high-quality rubber. They cling like crazy to our clear blocks. 
    3. Distinktive stamps are a photo-realistic image with a special texture that give added depth and dimension with a single stamp. 

    *I hope one or more of these tips help you.  Let me know which one or two you learned from today.

  • Floral Charm fun-fold card kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial option


    This is my second card kit to go I've created for July.  It features the new Floral Charm designer paper released in our newest Online Exclusives.  It's absolutely gorgeous designer paper!  

    My favorite thing about this pack of paper is that the reverse side of the pretty floral patterns have a coordinating solid print. So I created a batch of fancy fold cards to show them off!  

    The directions for these fun fold cards are included in the PDF tutorial plus there's a private video you'll get access to when you purchase either the kit or the PDF tutorial.  

    This kit to go includes the following products:

    • 1/2 pkg Floral Charm DSP (6" X 12")
    • a share of Peacock/Gold ribbon
    • a share of Shimmer dots
    • pre-cut or die-cut pieces for each of 10 cards
    • the PDF tutorial & video link 

    The kit to go is $31 and can be reserved here.  It is shipped out at the end of July. The PDF tutorial is $16 and can be seen here.  The tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase. 

    *You will need stamp greetings, inks, a paper trimmer (to cut your new designer paper) and adhesives to finish the cards. 

    See all of my available kits to go and tutorials here.  Opt in for more than one to save on shipping costs!
