Gather Together card with a cool punch trick!!

August 25, 2020

Marilyn made this pretty card for our Team swap. She used the Gather Together bundle in the 2020 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog. There are two really neat tricks you might not notice at first glance.

Can you spy the two special techniques here? Keep reading and I'll share them below.

Measurements:

Cajun Craze 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
Very Vanilla 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
Rich Razzleberry 5" X 3 3/4"
Plaid Tidings 1/2" X 3 3/4"

Products Used:

Gather Together Bundle seen here just $38.50
Woodland embossing folder
Cajun Craze & Mango Melody inks
Label me Lovely punch
Stampin Spritzer

Okay, now I'll reveal her two tricks!

Can you see the changes in colors on the textured leaves? The bottom three leaves were die-cut & embossed (done all at once!) and then spritzed with water. The water changes the color on the leaves! I cannot believe it's just water and no ink to get this effect. Super cool!!
Next is the greeting shape. It's made with the Label me Lovely punch. You can get multiple shapes from this punch. Here's how:

Punch one piece out.
Add a bit of adhesive to the end of a thin piece of card stock and adhere it to the punched piece.
Insert the piece back into your punch and adjust it to get whatever size shape you want!

Here are three shapes I made with this punch. Super neat and so versatile! See the punch here.

Introducing the new 2020-22 In Colors!

May 12, 2020

They're in my hands! The new In Colors that is. Look at these gorgeous new colors we'll all get to play with soon!

Save

I added a few of our current colors of card stock with each new color so you can compare them. The Misty Moonlight is like soft, worn denim.

Save

This one seems like a color we've never had before! It's a honey brown or rich, caramel color.

Save

The Magenta Madness is a pretty bright pink. If you've been around long enough it reminds me of the Pink Passion we used to have years ago.

Save

The Bumblebee is a golden version of Crushed Curry but a bit brighter.

Save

Just Jade is a pretty green and also seems different from anything I remember us having before. It's lovely!

Here's a sneak peak of 5 cards I made with LOTS of brand new products! Everything is new but the White card stock.

Save

How many new products can you spy here?

Save

We are going to absolutely LOVE these new colors! I cannot wait to play and create new, favorite combinations with our current line of colors.

Special offer! Each year at my Open House event in early June I offer my local gals a fabulous bundle of our new In Color products . This year I'll be offering it online to everyone (in the USA)! It's usually consists of the In Color ink pads, ink refills, assorted In Color card stock, In Color designer paper and embellishments (or ribbon). Then with that purchase they get the set of In color markers free! It's a great way to have it all and not worry about needing ink refills or markers later.

However Stampin' Up! is already running low on a few of these items so I may have to change it up this year. I'll know more the last week of May, which is when I'll open it up to everyone. The Covid-19 crisis is sure causing havoc with shipping and inventory; not just with SU but globally. But we make do with what we have right? And that will include a ton of new and excited products!
