My Team held a swap featuring Designer Paper and this is the card I created for it.  

I loved the 'Inked Folder' technique so much I wanted to feature it on my card.  You can see how it's done in the video here.  And more examples featuring this Pretty Flowers embossing folder here.  

This embossing folder is a free gift to anyone who places an online order over $50 in June. *See it here. 

I took the easy way out when I stamped my greetings.  Here are the steps for perfect stamping using the Stamparatus:

  1. I die-cut a bunch of the White labels (from the Hippo & Friends dies) first. 
  2. Then I placed the frame left over from die-cutting on my Stamparatus. 
  3. Lay your clean stamp on the label, positioning it in place. 
  4. Close the clear plate to 'grab' the stamp. 
  5. Ink the stamp and close the plate to stamp. 
  6. Repeat!   

The Black & White striped Designer Paper is from the Pattern Party host pack seen here.  It's free with Hostess Rewards.  How do you get host rewards?  If your order is over $150 you earn free product and can choose from anything in the catalog including the items on pages 170-171 which are marked down just for host rewards!

  • Look at these awesome Sale-a-Bration Team Swaps


    This weekend we held our Team meeting & swap and I can't wait to share them all with you!

    The cards today all feature products from our Sale-a-Bration promotion – it ends in just 2 weeks!  I love getting something free with my purchases.  See all of the SAB choices here. 

    First up is Mary's card featuring the Rings of Love designer series paper.  She created a double Z fun fold card! 

    Her colors include Night of Navy & Mint Macaron. She used the Charming Sentiments bundle for her greeting and popped it up onto a Mint Oval punched piece.  

    Measurements:

    • Night of Navy 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2"
    • Mint Macaron 9 3/4" X 3 1/4" scored at 4 1/4" & 7 1/4"
    • DSP is 4" X 3"
    • White is 2 1/4" X 3" 

    Next is a sweet card made by Karen; it's a perfect layout for quick cards that highlight your designer paper!  She also used the Rings of Love designer paper; it's free in August with a $50 order.  See it here. 

    Her colors are also Night of Navy with Mint Macaron. She colored her White seam binding ribbon Navy with a Blends marker.

    She used the Stylish Shapes stitched square dies to cut the flowers out of the designer paper.  No stamping needed! 

     

    The Fern 3D embossing folder is so pretty with these delicate flowers.  

    Measurements:

    • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

  • Rings of Love Triple Panel card with video & measurements


    Here's one more card I made during last week's FB Live with the free Rings of Love designer paper in our Sale-a-Bration offering.  

    I cut a 3 1/4" X 3" piece of the designer paper and then cut it into three 1" strips.  I then layered it onto three strips of Evening Evergreen CS. 

    I textured the Crumb Cake layer with the Timber embossing folder – it's also a new Free Sale-a-Bration choice in August; with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.   

    I love how the three panels create a 'scene', making the DSP the star of the card.  See the Rings of Love DSP here.

    Measurements: 

    • Poppy Parade 5 ½”X 8 ½”
    • White is 5 ¼” X 4”, Crumb Cake 5” X 3 ¾”
    • Evergreen is 5 1/8” X 3 7/8”, DSP is 1” X 3 ¼”
    • Evergreen strips are 1 1/8” X 3 3/8”

  • Perched in a Tree Explosion card with video tutorial!


    I can't stop using the Aspen dies!  I absolutely love this tree die-cut!  

    Did you know these dies are free during August with our Sale-a-Bration promotion?  Any $100 Stampin' Up! order and they're yours free! 

    I created this card on last week's FB Live video.  You can watch it here.  

    For the card front, I simply added a layer of the Rings of Love DSP behind it for a soft background.  You can keep it this simple or create your own background!  

    However I made the inside of the card extra special with an Explosion fold. These look so difficult to do but honestly they're not!  Please watch the video; afterwards you'll want to make one!

    The left card has the Rings of Love DSP and the card on the right features the Storybook Gnomes designer paper.  For greetings I used the Soft Seedlings & Perched in a Tree stamp sets.  

    I also shared an easy ribbon trick in the video; if you have trouble with bows I hope you watch.  

    Measurements: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • DSP – 3 7/8” X 5 1/8”, inside is 8” square
    • Greeting strip 1” X 4”
    • White 4” X 5 ¼” & inside is 3 ½” square
