• What? Whisper White card stock is discontinued! Snowflake Splendor card & bookmark in a pocket

  December 14, 2020

  ---

  Sad news!  Here's a message from Stampin' Up! regarding our favorite White card stock:

  We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

  We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

  Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.

  Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.

  • Whisper White 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
  • Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)
  • Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527)
  • Whisper White 3" x 3" (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Envelopes (145829)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" Cardstock (100730)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" Thick Cardstock (140272)
  • Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301)

  If you love any of these products I recommend you order them ASAP.  Remember there is a limit of 2 per customer. Go here to order.

  Here's a few sparkly projects featuring the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.  I think I could play with this for the next few months!  Here in ND we're usually in snow through March for sure and usually into April. 

  

  For this card I simply cut a few snowflakes from the White panel and adhered it to the designer paper with Dimensionals.  The greeting is heat embossed using White powder on a Highland Heather Stitched Nested Label and a swirl of Iridescent ribbon is added behind it.  

  This pretty paper is on the Closeout Sale happening now here.  It's 30% off while supplies last.  The Snowflake Wishes bundle is returning next year; I've used it a ton! 

  Today is the last day to get my Snowflake Splendor kit to go.  It includes these same products: a half pkg. of this pretty paper, Iridescent ribbon and the pretty blue faceted gems plus 10 pre-cut fun fold cards.  That's $20 in product AND the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28.  Go here to get yours.    Or get the tutorial here. 

  

  Here are the directions for the bookmark pocket:

  • Start with a 6” square for bookmark pocket; score lightly at 3”
  • Fold the Designer Paper in half at the 3” mark.  Then fold down the upper corner and glue down.
  • Use Stampin’ Seal on the lower and right side edges to close the pocket.
  • Punch the ends of the Highland Heather strip (1 ¼” X 8”, scored at 4)  and adhere across the lower middle. 
  • Stamp the greeting in Pacific Point ink onto the White Nested label die-cut (1 ½” X 2 ¾” finished size). Add with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Add a few White snowflakes with Multipurpose Glue. Add a few Blue Gems.
  • Stamp the greeting on the Bookmark using Pacific Point ink.  Add some snowflakes in Highland Heather ink, stamping off first for a lighter hue
  • Punch the upper end with the Fancy Tag Topper punch. Fold a 6” length of ribbon in half and insert the folded end in the front and pull the tails through the loop.  Tighten carefully, one end at a time.

• Paper Bag Snowflakes; an easy wow for Home Decor

  December 11, 2020

  ---

  I changed things up a bit for this week's Stamp with Me Live FB video and made these big beautiful Snowflakes!  Guess what they're made from?  Paper bags!

  
  

  I found some white glossy ones at a party store.  They measure 3" X 6 1/2" and 5" X 9" in size.  You need 8 of them.

  Depending on the size of your paper bag your finished snowflake can be anywhere from 13" to 18" across!  Watch the FB Live replay video below to catch the tips on making them. 

  Supplies:

  • 8 paper bags
  • Hot glue
  • Scissors (or punches)
  • Ribbon or cord for hanging

• Stunning framed Winter Sampler with Snowflake Splendor!!

  December 10, 2020

  ---

  Look at this incredible framed sampler my Team made!  

  

  My Flowerbug's Team tend to swap almost every month and in November we chose to do a Winter themed sampler featuring the colors in the Snowflake Splendor designer series paper.  There were more than I could fit in one frame (approximately 11" X 17") so I'll use the others for cards or scrapbooking. 

  I have to point out this super creative snowman Margo made using circle dies and snowflakes.  She clear embossed snowflakes on Vellum under the two circles!

  

  I am not going to go into detail on each of these elements except to brag on the talent they shared!  I LOVE swapping with my Flowerbugs!
