• Latte Love Book Binding Z-fold with free project sheet

  March 27, 2024

  ---

  I am in love with this fun fold!  I call it a 'Book-binding' Z fold card.  

  This one is made with the A Little Latte designer paper seen here.  It's part of our huge bunch of Online Exclusive products.

  The card starts out at 11" X 4 1/4" with two score lines (see the measurements in the free project sheet below). Then you add a second layer to the front flap to create this unique but easy fold.  

  I'm surprised this trendy designer paper hasn't sold out yet!

  Below you can see both versions of this card we made at my March card clubs.

  The coffee cups were fussy cut from the designer paper.  The stamps on the left are from the Latte Love bundle seen here.  The tag on front is from the Tailored Tags dies seen here.  I use these all of the time!

• Retiring items on the Last Chance list & info on discontinued items & price changes

  March 26, 2024

  ---

  Today I'm sharing lots of information on the upcoming Annual Catalog plus the retiring items.  

  The new Annual Catalog goes live on May 1st. The current Annual & Spring Catalogs retire April 30th. 

  These retiring items are now while supplies last. Some items are discounted but the discounts do not start until April 9th.   

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  However I wanted you to have the list beforehand because some of these products will already be gone once the list goes live.  So now is your chance to get the items on your 'gotta have it' list.  

  Click here for the Annual Catalog last chance list PDF. Here's the Annual Catalog list in Excel format

  Click here  for the Spring Catalog last chance list PDF. 

  I thought I'd mention a few items from the Annual catalog that I am surprised are retiring & will dearly miss:

  • Vanilla Envelopes & Vanilla Thick card stock
  • Vellum card stock
  • Double Oval punch – a big favorite!
  • Basic Border dies
  • Scalloped Contour dies

  Please remember to grab any of the In Color items that are retiring. This set of colors was a favorite of many. These could run out of stock at any time.

  We all dislike seeing price increases.  But like everything else these days some prices are going up in the new Annual Catalog. Costs are rising everywhere and Stampin' Up! has to raise there's to stay solvent. There are many companies that are struggling or closing and I'm happy to say that SU is still in good shape and in no danger of closing. I'm so glad they are proactive! 

  Below is a list of items where prices are increasing.  I tell you this now so you can stock up while the prices are lower.  Remember to use the host code links below when ordering.

• A striking technique with the Naturally Gilded specialty paper; with video & free project sheet!

  March 25, 2024

  ---

  I shared how to make this card on last week's video. It features the Naturally Gilded designer paper seen here.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  This pretty paper has a white background and Silver, Gold or Copper foil patterns. You can see it in the Online Exclusives while supplies last. 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I decided to do a direct to paper resist technique and change the White background to Black.  You can do this technique on any foil printed designer paper. The foil resists the ink so you can wipe it off once the background is saturated. 

  I used a Black Memento ink pad which is water-based. You can use any water-based ink but not Stazon. Stazon ink would cover the foil patterns. 

  How did I do it?  I had my paper laying face up and rubbed or tapped my Memento ink pad all over the specialty paper. Once you're done adding ink simply wipe the ink off the foil prints with a tissue or paper towel.

  I created a free project sheet for these cards; you can download or print it here: Download Naturally Gilded Ink Resist technique

  *Below is the video where I shared this technique.  I also shared my new Annual Catalog products and lots of amazing swaps too.  Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.
