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!

The last chance list is out!  Check out the retiring and discounted products here.

  • Paper Pumpkin kits; get a pre-paid subscription now before the price goes up!


    It seems most prices are going up these days and unfortunately Paper Pumpkin is raising their price for each kit by a few dollars. This will take effect on March 11th..

    These kits in the mail are a great value and are filled with lots of product to create with. I suggest you get a pre-paid subscription before March 11th to save $$. Go here to subscribe.

    Remember you are in full control over which kits you will receive. Once you create your account you can skip a month or add an extra kit. Plus, once you’re a subscriber you get to purchase any of the extras Stampin’ Up! offers like refill kits, add-ons & more.

    Here’s one of my bonus projects with the February kit.

    I used the add-on dies that were available; but are sadly out of stock now.

    Each month I send a bunch of bonus project ideas to my subscribers and my Team. You’ll love using them for creative inspiration.

    Here are the details on getting Paper Pumpkin kits:

    • Each all-inclusive kit comes with everything you need to create fun all-occasion or seasonal handcrafted projects—precut paper pieces, stamps, ink, embellishments, adhesives, and step-by-by-step instructions (contents vary depending on the kit). Kits autoship monthly, but if you need to take a break, you can skip a month. Crafting has never been so fun and convenient!

  • More Specialty Paper swaps for you.


    From easy to complex I think you’ll find inspiration among these three swap card samples.

    First is Candy’s card. She kept is clean and simple and made the die-cut leaf the star of her card.

    She chose to use Secret Sea as her card base and Vanilla as her textured layer. That pretty leaf die-cut is from the Nature’s Symphony bundle and is cut from our Earthen Metallic specialty paper seen here.

    The embossing folder is the Birch Wood 3D; the greeting is from the Perennial Postage dies.

    ~~~

    Next is a beautiful, serene card scene made by Deloris. She did a neat framing technique!

    Beautiful Gallery Suite seen here; from the Beautiful Gallery DSP to the Gallery Blooms dies to create the frame.

    What she did was to use the smaller frame die-cut on the DSP scene and then flip over that frame to reveal the opposite side as a contrast to the main scene. She popped this frame up on Dimensionals too. The greeting is from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set. The leaf die-cut is also from the Gallery Blooms dies using the Earthen Metallic specialty DSP. Gorgeous and so smart!!

    ~~~

    Lastly is a neat fun fold card made by Lori who used a brand new suite just released in our Online Exclusives.

    Isn’t this fold fabulous?! She has a base layer of DSP under the scored layers. The scored layers are 1 1/2″ X 5 1/4″ tall. She scored from the top or bottom at 3/4″ from the edge up to the middle and folded it outwards. Super cool!

    This pretty DSP is called Delicate Dreams and can be seen here. The pretty flower is die-cut from this pretty DSP too. The stamp & dies bundle is called Delicate Whispers and can be seen here. So beautiful!

    More swaps coming soon!

  • More Specialty Paper Team swaps with measurements!


    Here are a few more team swaps featuring Stampin’ Up!’s specialty papers:

    First up today is Tracey’s card who used the fractured technique.

    This technique starts with a large piece of designer paper. Then add the diagonal square layer. Next you simply start adding the thin strips of DSP around the edges of the square piece; trimming off the excess on the outer edges. So easy!

    She chose the Lovely & Beautiful DSP for the main piece and the strips are the Season of Elegance specialty DSP found in the Annual Catalog.
    The greeting is from Blessed Beginnings stamp set. I love the thin layer of gold on the outer edge!

    Measurements:

    • Olive card base 5 1/2″ X 8 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″
    • Gold layer 5 1/8″ X 3 7/8″
    • DSP is 3 3/4″ X 5″, inside DSP 5 1/4″ X 4″
    • thin DSP strips are 1/4″ thick.
    • White square is1 7/8″, inside is 5″ X 3 3/4″

    The inside greeting is from Prayers & Promises, the flower and leaves are from the Simply Beautiful stamp set.

    Next is a pretty card made by Marla who also used the Season of Elegance DSP.

    The main circle dies are from the brand new Springtime Scenes bundle which is currently out of stock. The greeting circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies.
    Her colors are Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry & Basic Beige.

    Card base is 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. DSP is 4″ X 5 1/4″

    More swaps are coming tomorrow!
