I encourage my followers to prep their pieces ahead of time and create along with me on the Live video. 

You'll need the following pieces & tools:

• Designer paper 6 X 6". Score it at 1 1/2" on all 4 sides.  Cut off all 4 corners. 
• Card base 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" score at 4 1/4"
• Front & inside layers 4" X 5 1/4"
• Greeting for front
• White layer inside the DSP fold – 2 3/4" square 
• Embellishments, adhesive, stamps & ink as desired 

Save

I'm using a brand new designer paper from the upcoming Holiday catalog.  It's called Garden Walk. It comes in 6 X 6" size – 48 sheets – 6 each of 6 designs.  

**I'll be offering a designer paper share later this week; it includes eighty 6 X 6" pieces of our newest, beautiful designer papers – all for $37 including shipping!  Let me know if you want in on this; I'm taking names now and can invoice you after Wednesday.  

Here's the inside view:  I saved 3 of the 4 cut off corners to create a unique way to add my greeting.

My card base is Calypso Coral as well as the ink. The stamps are both from a new set called So Sincere.  It's one of my very favorites in the Holiday catalog! 

I hope you join me tomorrow night; Monday, August 28th at 7 pm CT here.  If you aren't on Facebook the video will be uploaded to my YouTube channel here.

Oh; did you spy the new embossing folder? It's called Distressed Tile; it is in the upcoming Holiday catalog.  

The 'Celebrate' die-cut is from the Wanted to Say dies seen here.

• Christmas Season is for Fall too! Watch the short video tutorial!

  September 22, 2021

  Here's one of the cards we made at my September card clubs.  It features the Christmas Season bundle.  But as you can see, it's not just for Christmas! 

  Save

  I love using non-traditional colors for Fall.  I used Cajun Craze, Bermuda Bay, Vanilla and Crushed Curry. We stamped the images and then added texture with the Timber or Timeworn Type 3D embossing folders.   

  Here's the Christmas Season bundle. Look at all you get!  Remember this bundle is FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit through September, 2021.  It's such a great deal; if you love Stampin' Up! products I honestly believe it's the best thing you can do for yourself.  Click here to get started saving money and enjoying being a part of the Stampin' Up! family.

  The greetings are from the Biggest Wish set.  It's one of my very favorite sets!  It's so fun to layer the greetings!

  You might notice the pretty Dazzling leaf die-cuts here.  That is from the Sunflower dies and the Be Dazzling specialty paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Sadly it is out of stock now.

  Think of the many stamps you own that you could create a pretty background with.  Simply add a greeting tag over it.

• Fun Treat box made from our Acetate Card Boxes

  September 21, 2021

  ---

  Did you know we carry the perfect size clear box for gifting a set of A2 cards?  You can see them here or on page 137 of the annual catalog. They fit about 4 cards inside depending on how many layers there are. 

  Save

  Well Marilyn cut one box in half and created this adorable treat box for her Card Club friends!  

  Save

  It features the Cute Halloween designer paper and Frightfully Cute stamp set. 

  There's a template for the card stock below.  She used the Basic Border dies (seen here) to cut the bottom edge but you wouldn't have to.  If you don't use the Basic Borders Dies on the edge, you could cut the 5-1/2" down to 5".

  She filled it with lots of treats & embellishments.  It also fits an entire full size Kit Kat bar! 

  Save

  She uses a mini velcro dot for closure.  The card stock is actually inserted inside the box and mini glue dots are used to keep it in place.  

  Save

  And here's the template for the card stock insert.
