Easy stack & cut layout with Regal Winter with free project sheet & video

This is one of the cards I shared on last week's Live video.  I chose to feature the beautiful Regal Winter suite seen here. It's new from our 2024 Holiday catalog by Stampin' Up!

Isn't the color combination pretty?  It's Blueberry Bushel with Wild Wheat & White.  It's interesting that I chose the color combo from the pretty Regal Winter designer series paper but afterwards I realized they are complimentary colors.  Check out pages 132-133 in the 2024-25 Annual Catalog. Blues & purple are complimentary colors with yellow hues. I explain how to do this this in my video seen here. 

If you have trouble combining colors together start with two main colors.  Using our designer papers as a starting point can make it quite easy. I tend to grab the card stock and hold them next to each other.  I can usually tell if they work well.  But if you can't try using our color wheel information on the pages above.

Isn't that double die-cut pretty?  It comes as one die but cuts the main and the outer frame all at once. Click here to see the Regal Flora bundle and here for the Regal Winter designer paper.

I stamped the leaf image in Wild Wheat and the blue flower is stamped & die-cut. Next I colored the white areas with a Wild Wheat Blends marker.  Love the golden highlights!

How did I cut the three pieces of designer paper for this card? I explain in the video below and in the tutorial above.  But basically you stack 3 pieces of designer paper measuring 3 3/4" X 5" and cut into 3 pieces. It's incredibly gorgeous designer paper!

As long as you cut them all together it does not matter where your cuts are. You'll get 3 card fronts from the pieces you'll get.  These are layered onto another 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock. 

Below is the video tutorial for this and one other card. I hope you watch it AND follow me on my YouTube channel too!

  I shared a walk through video of our new 2024-25 Annual Catalog on last week's Live video. If you missed it here's the link to watch it.  

  This new catalog is quite different than we're used to.  I cover the reason's why they changed it and share lots of tips on how to navigate it.  You'll also learn ways to find the items you're looking for.  

  I've had requests to share how I added tabs to my catalog.  I prefer to use the removable tabs you can get in an office or big box store. 

  Here's a peek at mine:

  • Page 57 – Bundles

  What do you think of this monochromatic card?  

  Save

  The colors include Very Vanilla with Pecan Pie & Early Espresso. I used quite a few new Annual Catalog products here. 

  Products used:

  • Thoughtful Wishes bundle seen here
  • Country Woods designer paper
  • So Swirly embossing folder seen here
  • Countryside corner dies for my mask (now seen online)
  • Unbounded Love stamp set

  I added ink inside a die-cut mask with a Blending Brush & Pecan Pie ink before I textured it with the So Swirly embossing folder.  I love the effect!

  May 16, 2024

  ---

  I created this card for my free project tutorial this month – it features the Unbounded Beauty suite. This tutorial is free to everyone who orders from me online. 

  Save

  My colors include Petunia Pop, Basic White and a bit of Summer Splash with the In Color glimmer paper.  The pretty designer paper is called Unbounded Beauty and can be seen here. 

  The greeting stamp & die-cut are both from the same suite – the Unbounded Love bundle seen here.  

  Measurements: 

  • card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score/fold at 4 1/4"
  • Designer paper – start with a piece measuring 3 1/2" square. Cut from the left at 1/2", 3/4", 1" and 1 1/4"
  • White is 4 1/4" X 3" plus a scrap for greeting die-cut

  If you're loving this pretty designer paper you might consider opting in for my Unbounded Beauty card kit to go.  It includes 10 pre-cut cards, approximately $20 in product and the free tutorial – all for $29 plus shipping.  See it here.
