Lovely Lily Pad with Lily Pad dies to match!

February 20, 2020

Waterlilies are so trendy now and these reversible Lovely Lily Pad stamps in the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog are beautiful!

I'm sharing more of my Team swaps from our meeting earlier this month. Many of my team choose to join in our monthly swaps. Our swaps are optional and work like this: design one card and make one for everyone in the swap. If there are 12 people in the swap you make 12 of the same cards. Then send or bring them to me and I sort them out and return them to everyone participating. It's so fun to get all different cards back when you only had to create one!

First is Mary's pretty card:

Save

She used the Stitched Rectangle dies on three of her layers here! Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Grapefruit Grove and Old Olive. A little bit of Rococo Rose and Coastal Cabana too. The Lily Impressions designer paper has tons of pretty colors in it.

Roxann made this next card. She also used a Bermuda Bay card base but focused on Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green as her colors.

Save

It truly looks like water is reflecting the flowers on this pretty Lily Impressions designer paper. This paper is a free choice with any $50 order right now. See them here.

Her greeting is from the Sending you Thoughts set; also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

Bobby created this pretty card below. It also reminds me of a water garden with lilies in it.

Save

Her colors are Pretty Peacock, Pool Party and Grapefruit Grove. Isn't that border die beautiful? I also like that peek of a vellum lily behind the largest lily. I have a bunch of talented ladies on my Team!

If you've considered joining Stampin' Up! as a Demonstrator I'd love to have you in my Flowerbug's group. Read about that opportunity here.

Quick Card template & cute Christmas treats & snowman tags

December 16, 2020
I shared a ton of Holiday projects on this week's FB Live. You can see the video below but here are the projects:

Save

I used the Brightly Gleaming Specialty DSP here along with Very Vanilla, Navy, Brass foil and Peacock CS. This pretty paper is on sale at 50% off! See it here.

This is one of the easiest layouts you can make that still has some layers to it. I like the card below best since you can stamp directly on the single layer and do not need a second greeting piece to stamp on like the cards on the left & right above. Measurements below:

Save

Easy Christmas card
- Main card – 8 ½” X 5 ½” or 4 ¼” X 11”, DSP – 3” square
- CS – 4 ¼” X 3 ¼”, Vanilla greeting layer is 7/8" X 3", Foil strip – ½” X 4”
Next I have a super cute candy box treat made by my friend Marilyn. She used the Celebration Label dies; they're 50% off now while supplies last! See them here.

Save

Celebration Labels Treat box
- Use the largest 2 dies. Center the CS die-cut at 6”; score at 5 3/8” and 6 5/8”
- Box is 2 3/8” X 5 1/8” scored at ½” on each edge
Save

Next is a fun candy bar pull up treat. I love making these since they're so quick & easy.

Save

Santa Pull Up Treat

Red CS 6 1/2" X 7" score at 3/8", 3/4", 3 1/2" and 3 7/8".

Black glitter belt 1" X 7"

This candy bar is in a thin card board box so I had to score it. Usually I just wrap the card stock around the candy bar and glue the edge overlapping each other. That one is a lot quicker.

Save

Lastly is a sweet snowman tag.

Save

It's a piece of Snowflake Splendor DSP and White CS both measuring 4 1/2" X 2" and tied together at the top. I used the Delightful Tag Topper & 2" circle punches here. The stitched nose is made with the Triangle dies. I drew Black 'stones' with a marker for his smile.

Below you can get the tips on putting these projects together. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel here.

Sweetest Time Christmas card

December 15, 2020

I thought I'd share a few Christmas cards I've received lately.

Jean sent me this pretty Christmas card using the Sweetest Time bundle seen here.

Save

The Sweetest Border dies are so neat! I love how you get a solid edge but the detailed candy canes all in one.

Save

She used Real Red with Pear Pizzazz here along with the Wonderful Gems.

Here's another card shared by Stampin' Up!

Save

And look at these projects! They're showcased with the new Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine!

Save

I just received mine and I LOVE IT! It's adorable, small and lightweight. It's the perfect size for both travel and to fit right on my workspace.

What? Whisper White card stock is discontinued! Snowflake Splendor card & bookmark in a pocket

December 14, 2020
Sad news! Here's a message from Stampin' Up! regarding our favorite White card stock:

We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.

Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.
- Whisper White 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
- Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)
- Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527)
- Whisper White 3" x 3" (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Envelopes (145829)
- Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" Cardstock (100730)
- Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" Thick Cardstock (140272)
- Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301)
If you love any of these products I recommend you order them ASAP. Remember there is a limit of 2 per customer. Go here to order.

Here's a few sparkly projects featuring the Snowflake Splendor designer paper. I think I could play with this for the next few months! Here in ND we're usually in snow through March for sure and usually into April.

Save

For this card I simply cut a few snowflakes from the White panel and adhered it to the designer paper with Dimensionals. The greeting is heat embossed using White powder on a Highland Heather Stitched Nested Label and a swirl of Iridescent ribbon is added behind it.

This pretty paper is on the Closeout Sale happening now here. It's 30% off while supplies last. The Snowflake Wishes bundle is returning next year; I've used it a ton!

Today is the last day to get my Snowflake Splendor kit to go. It includes these same products: a half pkg. of this pretty paper, Iridescent ribbon and the pretty blue faceted gems plus 10 pre-cut fun fold cards. That's $20 in product AND the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28. Go here to get yours. Or get the tutorial here.

Save

Here are the directions for the bookmark pocket:
- Start with a 6” square for bookmark pocket; score lightly at 3”
- Fold the Designer Paper in half at the 3” mark. Then fold down the upper corner and glue down.
- Use Stampin’ Seal on the lower and right side edges to close the pocket.
- Punch the ends of the Highland Heather strip (1 ¼” X 8”, scored at 4) and adhere across the lower middle.
- Stamp the greeting in Pacific Point ink onto the White Nested label die-cut (1 ½” X 2 ¾” finished size). Add with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Add a few White snowflakes with Multipurpose Glue. Add a few Blue Gems.
- Stamp the greeting on the Bookmark using Pacific Point ink. Add some snowflakes in Highland Heather ink, stamping off first for a lighter hue
- Punch the upper end with the Fancy Tag Topper punch. Fold a 6” length of ribbon in half and insert the folded end in the front and pull the tails through the loop. Tighten carefully, one end at a time.
