These Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes are a free choice from our new Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here. I love SAB when we can all get something free with our orders! Spend a minimum of $50 and pick something absolutely free!

These cards & envelopes are one of my top picks in the catalog. You can use them for lots of cards in the future!

The package includes 20 envelopes and 10 each of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam card bases. Today's project features the Soft Sea Foam card base.

You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned look of the leaf. I stamped it first in Soft Sea Foam and removed a bit of the ink on the edges with a sponge dauber. Then I added Pool Party ink to those same areas. Huff and stamp! Watch the video here to see how it's done.

There is a vellum leaf on the stamped leaf for both texture and shimmer. I sponged the punched leaf (Bough punch), sponged a bit of color and curled the leaves. Lastly I added Wink of Stella to both leaves for a pretty shimmer effect.

I trimmed off 1" along the bottom edge of the card base and adhered it to the inside.

Then I cut a white scalloped edge using the Contour Scalloped dies. I textured the 1 1/4" Pool Party card stock strip with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder seen here. I LOVE this folder! I attached the embossed layer to the scalloped White trim and then adhered to the card front.

The 'hello' is stamped on a die-cut from the Tea Cup dies and added over two bows; one with Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon and another with White twine.

Add color to the Sunflower 3D embossing folder. Wow!

September 1, 2025

You’ve likely seen lots of cards made with the new Sunflower 3D embossing folder but have you seen any like this?!

Save

We made this card at my August card clubs and it was a big hit! Turquoise might not be a traditional color but it sure is pretty! This technique will work beautifully with yellows & oranges too.

We started by embossing a white layer of card stock with the embossing folder. Then using the debossed side, added Coastal Cabana ink to the petals with a sponge dauber.

Next we did the ‘direct to paper’ technique – rubbing our ink pad directly onto the embossed card stock – with Pecan Pie ink. After that we did the same with Early Espresso ink. This picked up the fine details in the embossing. Gorgeous!!

This Sunflower 3D embossing folder has been out of stock twice already and it’s in low inventory again! You can see it here. Get it while it’s available! Online Exclusive products are while supplies last…..

Changes are coming!

August 28, 2025

Stampin’ Up! announced a few upcoming changes last week. I mentioned and explained them in this video.

1. First up is the change in the type of stamps they’ll be offering. Currently we have both red rubber/cling and clear photopolymer. Starting in November all new stamps will be clear photopolymer.

Save

Why? They are having difficulty sourcing the product needed to produce cling or red rubber stamps. In addition they are not selling as well as photopolymer do. It seems most people like the clear stamps; my customers have mentioned this to me too.

So for stamp sets from the current Annual and Holiday catalog here’s how it works going forward. Once they run out of stock of the cling stamps they’ll switch over to clear photopolymer.

2. Next is the packaging. Because most stamps will be in photopolymer after November they will be in new packaging – clear sleeves. These will be approximately 5″ X 9″ in size. They are phasing out the DVD cases. However they will continue to offer them in 4 packs like they currently do. See them here. They will also offer bulk packs of the new thin sleeves as well.

Save

3. The die-cut sleeves will change too and will be the same as the stamp set sleeves. They’ll now have photos of the dies on the cover like you see below.

Save

4. Lastly they are discontinuing our Stampin’ Write markers. The Blends markers are outselling these by far. And because they were originally intended to be used to color directly on red rubber stamps (as well as coloring) they won’t be needed for this.

In my opinion I love coloring with the Blends so much I would never use these for coloring. They leave lines on larger images where the Blends do not. They color so smoothly!

Save

All of our Stampin’ Write markers are now on the Last Chance list and will be available while supplies last. If you love them I’d grab some while you can. See them here.
