• New Spring Catalog DSP, Ribbon & Embellishment shares – RSVP ASAP!!

  December 30, 2021

  ---

  I'm excited to offer NEW product share options from the upcoming January-June 2022 Mini Catalog!!  I’m placing my share order early on January 4 and I'll use the expedited shipping option so I plan to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of January 10.

  

  NOTE REGARDING PRODUCT AVAILABILITY:  Stampin’ Up! has advised us that there may be items that are unavailable when the catalog launches due to the global shipping delays.  If any items that I’m offering in my shares are not available when I place my order on January 4, I’ll refund you the amount for that item.  I’m hoping that I’ll be able to order everything for you but a refund is my back-up plan. 

  New Designer Series Paper Share – $22.00 plus $5.00 for First Class shipping

  You will receive one 6×6" sheet of each design from the following DSP (*one 4×6" pack) and specialty paper packs (the number behind the name indicates how many 6×6" sheets of that paper pack you will receive):

  Double DSP Share – $44.00 + $8.00 Shipping by Priority Mail – I’ll cut the designer paper sheets into 6×12 (except for the New Horizons 6×6 and Abstract Beauty 4″ x 6″, you’ll get double sheets of those since they’re already precut).

  A FREE Gift From Me! – As a bonus for joining either share, you’ll also get a sample of the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper Packs!  I’ll send each share participant a sampler of papers from the Daffodil Afternoon, Sunshine & Rainbows and Simply Marbleous Sale-a-bration DSP packs!

• Quick card Ever Eden designer paper strips; just a few days left!

  December 29, 2021

  ---

  On my last Monday's FB Live I shared these pretty cards; they feature the Ever Eden specialty designer paper. Click here to watch the video. 

  

  The greeting and butterflies are from upcoming catalogs in January.  The stamp is called Friendly Hello and the butterflies are little, bitty brass adhesive-backed gems. There is one more new items on this card; it's a punch called the Bough punch. Above it's in Soft Succulent shimmer vellum & Metallic card stock.  It punches both! 

  This pretty paper is a special promotion.  You won't find it in any catalog and it's retiring on January 3rd. It's available while supplies last. The colors are gorgeous together – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Gold & White.  See it here. 

  

  I shared another version of this strip technique here.  Totally different! 

  

  Tips: 

  • I start out with a 2 1/4" X 4 3/4" piece of neutral CS.  This is what I adhered the strips of Designer Paper to. 
  • I added Seal adhesive over the entire piece and added the strips one by one. 
  • Apply one strip across the middle at an angle first. Then keep filling in. 
  • I trimmed the excess off the edges once I had it well covered with strips.  
  • My DSP strips measure between 1/4" and 5/8" wide and about 3" long.  It doesn't matter how wide your strips are; it looks great if they're different widths.  
  • Add dimensionals to the back of this piece for added dimension. 
  • Add a greeting and accents if desired. 

  Here's the video with details:

• Geometric fun with an Ombre’ effect; video tutorial too!

  December 28, 2021

  ---

  I've been sharing ideas & techniques featuring the Plenty of Patterns masks from a recent FB Live video. 

  Today it's an Ombre' effect created with a grid mask, 4 colors of ink and Blending Brushes. 

  

  The colors I used are from top to bottom: Pale Papaya, Calypso Coral, Polished Pink and Melon Mambo. I used our Blending Brushes to achieve this smooth blended look.  See them here. I love them; they're so worth investing in.  And the nice thing is that the ink can be rinsed out to use them in any color next time. 

  

  I used the grid mask in the set of 4 seen below & here. 

  

  I'm sure you noticed the hexagonal greeting die-cuts.  This is part of a new die-cut set called Beautiful Shapes dies coming out in the upcoming 2022 Jan-June catalog.  And the Adhesive-Backed Hexagons coordinate wonderfully.  These embellishments come in a package of three colors – Black, Blushing Bride & Just Jade. 

  

  I added a zig-zag of ribbon behind my greeting image; see my easy method in the video.  

  

  Below is the video with these projects & lots more!
