Ginny made this cute card with the A Little Latte designer paper

July Ginny A Little Latte Save

Her colors include Calypso Coral and Pecan Pie. She cased this card from Karen Ksenzahovie from Creative Stamping Designs. I like the little details of the three DSP strips under the coffee cups. Her greeting is heat embossed in White.

Mary also featured the A Little Latte designer paper and the Latte Love bundle.  These products can be seen online here.

Her colors include Pecan Pie with Lost Lagoon and White.  She trimmed off an inch from the left front to reveal the cute trio of die-cut coffee cups inside.  Cute detail! 

Thanks for hanging in with us to see all of the July Team swaps!

  • Ready to Ride card kit to go; it’s for both guys & gals!

    I chose the Ready to Ride specialty designer paper for one of my April card kits to go; it has wonderful black foil designs on one side and fun prints on the other.  It even has a few flowers for the gals; it's not all about men here! 

    These cards include multiple fun folds as I like to do; they add a fun element for both the creator and the recipient.   

    Ready to Ride Save

    There 2 each of 5 designs in this card kit.  There's a pre-cut kit to go option AND a PDF tutorial only option in my store here.  

    The pre-cut kit to go includes 1/2 pkg. of the Ready to Ride specialty DSP (6" X 12"), a share of both Classic Matte dots and Baker's Twine Essentials pack.  The pre-cut card pieces, die-cuts and punched pieces are all included. 

    Supplies needed:

    • Black ink & adhesives
    • a paper trimmer to cut your new DSP (using the measurements in the tutorial).
    • Greeting images – I used the Legendary Ride and Celebrating You stamp sets, but you can substitute any greeting images you already own.

    The PDF tutorial is added on free and includes step by step directions, photos, measurements and a supply list.  It's $20 in product for just $28!  The tutorial is sent to you via email immediately after payment from my Shop here.  

    The other option is my PDF tutorial seen here.  It's $15 and it's emailed to you immediately after payment.  

    The neat thing about my kits and tutorials are that you get great ideas for creating; whether it's with this theme or others. 

    Ready to Ride all Save

    *This is the kit my monthly subscribers will receive.  Interested in getting a pre-cut kit to go each month?  Email me here for that option.  

    I have two more new card kits and/or tutorials available this month. Save $$ on shipping by getting more than one!

  • Check out this fun & unique way to use up those card stock scraps!

    Look at this gorgeous card!  It's so bright, colorful and just plain fun! I made it on this week's Live video. My theme was to feature Bermuda Bay (a favorite of mine) and some sets of retiring dies I'll miss a lot! 

    I used the 'Picture This' dies seen here for the multiple circle windows.  The White delicate leaves die-cuts are from the Splendid Stems dies; which I thought were still current!  Oops! 

    Picture This strips Save

    Isn't it striking?  It's almost like a rainbow effect with these bright colors.  I adhered 1/4" strips of card stock to another layer of White (under the White window die).  It's slightly smaller than the top one. Watch the video here to catch my tips on this technique

    I used Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Polished Pink and Berry Burst.  The only two colors that will be in the next catalog are Coastal Cabana and Berry Burst!  But I know we'll learn to love the new color line too.  It's always sad to say goodbye to some of our favorites.  

    Next I shared a fun card featuring blues/greens and the Layering Diorama dies. They're discounted to $20.30 now.

    The other dies used are the Amazing Thanks dies seen here (these were $27 and are now just $10.80). 

    BRILLIANT WINGS DIES Save

    And the Brilliant Wings dies shown above which include tons of butterflies in both solid and detailed dies that layer perfectly.  They were $44 and are now just $17.60.  See them here. 

    Here's how I adhered the strips to the back of the White die-cut piece. I die-cut the Layering Diorama shape first and then added these strips on the back side. It's a super fun way to show off your die-cut shape and use up those scraps you just cannot throw out!

    Here are both projects shown together.  I hope this inspired you to use up some of those paper scraps you're saving for 'someday'!

  • Eden’s Garden & Forever Fern; a fun way to use the Picture This dies

    Monday evening I created projects with the Forever Fern bundle for my weekly Tuesday Facebook Live. But by the next morning the Forever Fern stamp set was sold out; gone.  So I had to switch gears a bit and decided to substitute Forever Fern with Eden's Garden. I think it turned out lovely!  

    Eden's Garden Picture This Save

    See the Eden's Garden set here.  It was $22 and is now just $9.20, while supplies last.

    There are dies to match called the Eden dies seen here. They were $35 and are now just $14. 

    EDEN DIES Save

    I used all retiring inks and card stock – Bermuda Bay, Rich Razzleberry & Pear Pizzazz.  I had to focus on my Bermuda Bay; I'll sure miss this color!  The card stock, ink and refill are already sold out.  

    I wanted to feature the Picture This dies too; I honestly love these dies and use both the full windows die-cut and the stitched label pieces left over. Each side is stitched! They're perfect for greeting labels. This 2 piece set of dies is now $27.20; it was $34.  See them here.

    PICTURE THIS DIES Save

    Measurements:

    • Bermuda Bay card base 8 ½” X 5"
    • White die-cut piece is 3 ¾” X 5”, White stamped piece is 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"
    • Rich Razzleberry 3 7/8” X 5 1/8”

    Below you can see the Forever Fern card on the left and the Eden's Garden card on the right.  

    Picture This both Save
    I think the color combination is beautiful.  I'll sure miss these colors!  

    Below are the three cards I shared on the video.  I think the Forever Fern stamp set is one of the most gorgeous set of stamps Stampin' Up! has ever made. The distinktive quality of the images gives a true multi-hued effect; it's my very favorite type of stamp.  I'm sorry it retired and that it's already sold out.  You can get it in French still…..
