Little Ladybug Spinner Card!!

This fabulous spinner card was made by my friend Susie Wood; she sent one to me as we like to make cards for each other to share with our customers.  I love her style so much.  Visit her blog here. 

Little Ladybug Susie Save

Isn't it adorable?!  It's classic Red, Black & White; perfect for the Ladybug set. The center circles are 1 3/4" and 2" in size. The Black piece is 4" X 3 1/4" in size and that circular opening is 2 3/8" using the Circles Collection dies and punches.

This cute stamp set is FREE with any $300 order placed during Sale-a-Bration; January through March 2020.  If you don't think you can swing that large of an order I have a few suggestions for you. 

  1. Have a workshop/party and invite your friends. Their orders will add up so you can earn it free!
  2. Place one big order (if you can). You'll get 6 free $50 Sale-a-Bration items at the same time and earn $36 in free hostess benefits. 
  3. Have a book party; inviting your fellow stamping friends to order. I can open a host code so all of the orders can be shipped to each person's ome. Sale-a-Bration is a great time to order!  Free products for each $50 you spend.
  4. Purchase the starter kit and join as a Demonstrator!  Then you get 20% off your $300 order so you're really spending just $240 to earn this set!  Plus you would get 6 free Sale-a-Bration items at the same time and $36 in free hostess benefits. 

All you need for a spinner card is a window, something to spin and some string or thread.  She used our Silver metallic thread here.  The window is made with our Circles Collection Framelits. 

Watch the FB live replay video below to see how it's done.

You might wonder where the black polka dots came from. She used a sponge dauber!  So easy!! 

Below you can see both cards I demonstrated on my Facebook Live this week.  Click below to see it. Be sure to follow my page so you don't miss it each week on Tuesday's at 11 am CT.

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

    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.   

    2024 Last Chance list 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!

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

    Direct to Paper resist 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. 

    NATURALLY GILDED 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER 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.

  • Poetic Expression fun fold swap card

    Last week I shared this image on Facebook.  It was a bit of a tease to guess what the finished card would be like. 

    Thoughtful Moments swap pieces Save

    It has Pool Party, White, Lost Lagoon and some Poetic Expressions designer paper (retiring in April). 

    It also shows the greeting die-cut from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder seen here.  I feel like it makes my greetings extra special.  They're a pretty font and give texture and dimension to your projects. (I shared how to use this folder here in a video.)

    Thoughtful Moments swap Save

    And that is the finished card.  I made 12 of these for an organized fun fold swap. I am a huge fan of monochromatic cards and these colors are at the top of my favorites list.  

    The tag is from the Something Fancy dies seen here.  I love the many label & greeting shapes this set has.

    Here's the inside view. 

    Measurements are so simple!  Once you cut off the end of the card front you flip it 90 degrees and use it as the front layer. 

    • Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4"
    • DSP – 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3" 
    • Inside White 5 1/4" X 4" 

    Here's the inside view.  This greeting is from the Simply Zinnia set seen here.
