I knew from the first time I saw the Scenic Coast specialty paper that it would be my top choice for kits in May. It’s just plain stunning!

These cards are big WOW’s that you’ll enjoy making and gifting. They feature brand new products plus they’re so easy to make too!

My kit to go includes 1/2 pkg. of the Scenic Coast 6″ DSP, a share of Sunset sequins and the new Floral Flight black accent die-cuts. You’ll also receive the 10 pre-cut cards including die-cuts and punched pieces. It’s a great deal for almost $20 in product plus the card kit and PDF tutorial for just $32. Go here to reserve the pre-cut kit.

Or, if you prefer to receive the PDF tutorial only click here. Both options include exclusive access to the video tutorial!

The kit to go will be sent out at the end of May. The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately.

Green & Gold fun fold card with Changing Leaves bundle; & a free project sheet too!

July 9, 2024
Today I'm sharing the second card I made during last week's Live video. My projects focused on new Online Exclusive products. There's lots of beautiful texture on this monochromatic card.

This card features multiple new Online Exclusive products released last week.

Did you know that Stampin' Up! releases a bunch of new online extras multiple times a year? These items are not in any printed publication and are seen only online. Most people don't realize that they can be ordered online or at local events.

I'll be featuring this pretty Green & Gold specialty designer paper for one of my upcoming card kits:

Here's the inside view of this card. I call it a center flap fold. It allows you to use two different pieces of coordinating designer paper.

Changing Leaves Hybrid embossing folder technique; with free project sheet & video tutorial

July 8, 2024

I joined quite a few swaps featuring our newest group of Online Exclusives and this is one of the cards I made:

It features the Changing Leaves bundle seen here. It includes a stamp & die bundle AND a coordinating hybrid embossing folder as well.

I used two different embossing techniques on this card. If you look closely at the die-cut leaf you'll see there's ink in the recessed part of the leaf. That was done by adding ink to the embossing folder before I cut & embossed the leaves. Please watch the video here to see how it's done.

My colors include the new Basic Beige and Mossy Meadow with White. I also ran a piece of Basic Beige CS through the clean folder and added ink with a blending brush afterwards.

In the two cards below you'll see that the Beige card stock looks different. The left card was done by blending Mossy Meadow ink very lightly over the textured CS. The right card was done by adding ink to the embossing folder before I textured it. Two totally different results! Again; watch the video below to see how it's done.

For the greetings I used another new Online Exclusive stamp set called Everyday Greetings. It's a fabulous greeting set. See it here.

The oval die-cut is from a new set of dies called Greetings of the Season dies seen here. They're paired with a stamp set but are great on their own too.

Did you know that Online Exclusives simply mean that they're seen online and not in any printed publication? Anyone can order them! See them all here; there are tons of them!
