• See 2 ways to use the new ‘Crafting with You’ bundle in my video

  May 3, 2023

  ---

  On my weekly Live video I shared two, well actually three ways to use the incredible Crafting with You bundle seen here from Stampin' Up!  It's new in the 2023-24 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog.  Here's one of them:

  It's perfect for the seamstress or quilter. I couldn't resist making a card featuring some of our frequently used tools – like the paper trimmer and die-cutting machine….  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  This set has so many options for crafters! It has an easel & paint brushes, yarn, embroidery hoop, sewing machine, paper crafting etc.  It's loaded!  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  These cards feature TWO of our newest colors in our color families.  Left is Bubble Bath and right is Azure Afternoon.  I used Smoky Slate, White, Black and a bit of silver on my cards.  

  I stamped my large white layer with the same ink as the card base and because it was a little busy I added a layer of vellum over it.  Then a stamp of Bright & Beautiful DSP before I added the textured 3" circle.  The circle also helps tone down the busy background.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  A few neat tips on this card: there are two different baskets you can add items to including the yarn, paint brushes, spools of thread or even flowers.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  I show how to make the scissors in the video.  You need to cut out two; one in black and one in silver.  Trim off the silver ends and add them over the full, black scissor die-cuts.  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  For the paper crafting card I stamped the greeting on a strip of White cardstock and inserted it into the paper trimmer.  Love that the die-cut leaves this option for us.  The black 'knob' on my trimmer cuts out separately so you can add it in place as you like.  They thought of everything on this set!!

  Each year Stampin' Up! adds a brand new set of 5 In Colors; this year it's Wild Wheat, Moody Mauve, Copper Clay, Boho Blue and Pebbled Path.  Beautiful earthy colors!

  This year we said goodbye to 11 colors and now say hello to 11 new core colors!  7 returning colors and 4 brand new! 

  In the photo below the top 4 are our newest colors – Lemon Lolly, Azure Afternoon, Bubble Bath and Pecan Pie. I'm so excited about them; we needed these colors!

  Tip: did you know there is a set of both card stock AND Stampin' Write markers?  You can order these without having to order entire packs of each color families.

  I'm thrilled to have some of these returning favorites back in our color line!  

  Below is my Fresh as a Daisy board.  Beautiful lifelike Fresh as a Daisy designer paper with the Cheerful Daisy bundle; pretty images and fabulous dies.

  This pretty Fresh as a Daisy designer paper is another contender for my upcoming card kits to go.  I like to use our pretty designer papers as my starting point for the 10 cards I create.  You can see the kits I have available now here. 

  And here is one of my top picks from our pre-order – the Timeless Arrangements bundle.  I shared a few projects in a recent video seen here.

  Watch the video here (or below) where I share how to use this bundle; the designers were so smart on this one!  The way they added the rectangular anchor pieces is genius!  You can watch a video here where I featured this bundle.

  Saturday I held my new catalog launch party and I thought you'd like to see my displays too.  Unfortunately I did not receive many of my card swaps in time, but I had some and I had made quite a few samples myself. I worried my boards would be empty but I think they turned out quite well.  

  This first photo shows off two displays; from left to right – the Circle Sayings bundle, the Countryside Inn Suite, the Bright & Beautiful suite and the Little Monkey bundle.

  Here are a few close-ups of these two:

  this was a clear favorite of many.  I'll be featuring this beautiful Countryside Inn DSP for one of my May kits to go.  Many people asked about the cute baskets; I'll feature them on an upcoming video.

  And here's the incredible Bright & Beautiful 6 X 6" designer paper.  Amazing color combos and patterns!  This is another contender for my May card kits….

  I use inexpensive foam boards from the dollar store and attach my projects with either poster putty or clips.  

  And here are my kits to go boards; I prepped extra kits for my April offerings. You can see and purchase them on my Shop here.  Remember you can save $$ on shipping when you purchase more than one.
