Masterfully Made & Wanted to Say quick card ideas with video tips

And our annual Stampin' Sale is done!  Each June my customers and I host a paper crafting sale – this year we had 30 sellers and we had a fabulous turnout!

That photo was just the stamps for sale; we had so much more!  I wish you could be here for it, but I know it is a long way for some to Minot, ND.  But if you're near me, plan for the weekend after Father's Day. Make a road trip if you can.  
We had one person come from St. Louis and another who was in town visiting from Peru!  They were so glad to be here for this annual event.

Last week I shared three card ideas featuring three products: Masterfully Made designer series paper, Wanted to Say dies and Border Basics dies. Here's one of them:

Save

The Masterfully Made designer paper features a torn edge look to a few of the sheets.  I chose this one because of it's beautiful colors.  I added Berry Burst, Fresh Freesia and Azure Afternoon in the die-cuts from the Wanted to Say dies.  This set of dies has a detailed and a layered die for each set of words in the set, plus a bunch of other dies like the flowers I used here. You can see them here.

Save

The angled border on the White card base is die-cut with the Basic Borders dies seen here.  I love these and use them often.  You can see them here.  I saved the piece I die-cut and used it on another card.  Here are both of the cards I made, using two different sheets of the Masterfully Made DSP.

You can see this beautiful designer paper here.  It's discounted in June; down to $10.62.

As you can see, there is no stamping on the front.  But I did add a greeting to the inside:

• Amazing Artist of the Month projects with the Cutest Cow bundle!

  March 28, 2024

  ---

  Deloris chose to feature the Cutest Cow bundle for her Artist of the Month projects. She did an incredible job showcasing this cute bundle! 

  First is an adorable 'barn' card. Who wouldn't love to receive this fun card? 

  Save

  Isn't that the best way to feature these cows!?  She cased Queen Bee Creations for this idea. I love the rooster in the window! 

  Measurements: 

  • Red card base 4 1/4" X 11" score at 5 1/2". Make a mark 1" inside the fold and 1" above & below the fold line on the edge. Score. 
  • White inside 4" X 5 1/4" – trim off upper corners to fit the fold
  • White strips to form the barn roof are 3/8" and the door are 1/4". 
  • Old Olive grass she cut into a wave shape and used her scissors to create grass

  Here's the inside view:

  Next is a sunrise 'Rocker' card using Old Olive & Daffodil Delight. 

  Save

  The Deckled Circles are a must for these cards! See them here in our Online Store. 

  Here are her fun 3d projects: 

  Save

  For the cow tail candy wrap she used our Blueberry Bushel Glorious Gingham DSP cut with a Deckled circle die. She simply added a few score lines to the middle so it would stand up.

  The Udder Stick (chapstick) holder was cased from Cards by TLC and features Berry Burst Glorious Gingham DSP. 

  I'll share more of her cute projects tomorrow!

  Save

  As you can see with her projects, the Cutest Cow bundle is super cute!  The stamp set & punch will be sold in the new Annual Catalog coming out in May. It will not be available in a bundle at 10% off though; the items will be sold separately.

• 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.

  Save

  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!  

  Save

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

  Save

  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!  

  Save

  I created a free project sheet you can download or print. These project sheets are so handy to have in an idea binder or folder. Download March 24 Club A Little Latte book binding

• 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. 

  Save

  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.
