Morning Star


Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet?  It's called Morning Star (seen here) and is one of Stampin' Up!'s distinktive type of stamps. This means you can get multiple hues of color with just one inking.  It's amazing!  

It is retiring next week so if you'd like it, get it now! Here's a few cards I created when playing with it.  I think this set has been a bit of a sleeper; lost among the many favorite in the 2020 January-June catalog.  

Here I used Old Olive and Gorgeous Grape; one of my favorite green and purple combos.  Because this stamp set is photopolymer you can easily stamp the images just where you want them, placing them perfectly.

Here are the measurements and supplies:

  • Old Olive 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
  • Regals designer paper 5 1/4" X 1 7/8"
  • Gorgeous Grape 4 3/4" X 3 1/2"
  • White 4 1/2" X 3 3/8"
  • Label Me Fancy Punch, Grape striped ribbon, dimensionals, mini glue dots 

Here's another simple card made with this pretty stamp set this time in green & blue: 

I chose to use Pear Pizzazz with Night of Navy here.  This is our Neutrals designer paper pack and it is already out of stock.  It was on the Last Chance list seen here.  I'll miss these pretty patterns although we are getting new packs of 6" designer paper in the upcoming catalog.

Measurements:

  • Pear Pizzazz 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  • Navy designer paper 5 1/4" X 2"
  • White – 5 1/4" strip for the Ornate Style die-cut
  • White 3 1/4" X 2 1/2"
  • Navy 3 1/2" X 3"
  • Ornate Style dies, Olive/Terracotta Tile 1/4" ribbon, Noble Peacock rhinestones

  • A few favorite craft storage tips


    I thought I'd share some of my favorite ways to store my stamping products.  Some people enjoy organizing more than creating! 

    First is how I store my stamp sets.  In a dresser drawer.  I purchased a few dressers from IKEA many years ago and they've held up very well despite multiple moves.  

    Here's a photo of my craft studio.  I am very, very lucky to have such a beautiful room in our home for my business and classes. 

     

    Here's how I store my 8 1/2" X 11" card stock and paper scraps.  In front of each color of card stock I keep a cello bag for the scraps in that color. I've used this method for years and it really helps me use my scraps.

    Next is how I store my 12 X 12" designer paper and scrapbook pages. 

    It's a shoe storage cabinet! My 12 X 12" paper fits like it was made just for it!  You can get two stacks side by side in it since it's about 30" wide.    Plus it has a divider to fit even more paper above it.  I love the way the doors hinge open.  There are three doors and it's only about a foot deep.

    Lastly here's how I store my inks, markers and ribbon. These are Stampin' Up! storage and they're fully customizable to fit what you need.  Click here to see the options. 

    I love that it fits right on my work area for easy reach. As you can see I organize my inks in rainbow order. I'm not sure why my Blends aren't but I know my granddaughter will love to do that for me this week while she's here.

  • Diagonal Fun Fold with new products! Free project sheet & video too.


    Today I'm sharing a neat fun fold I hadn't made for awhile.  It's a diagonal fold that is fun and easy. 

     

    I used a few new, upcoming products from both the 2025 Spring and the 2025 Sale-a-Bration catalogs.  The greeting & punch are made with the Bright Borders set and coordinating To the Point punch.  The designer paper is the Toadstool Gardens 6" DSP from the SAB catalog.  It's free with any $60 purchase from January 7th – February 28th, 2025.  

    I made over 20 of them for a mail out swap I joined.  The colors include Melon Mambo & Granny Apple Green. 

     

    I share how to make it in the video here and seen below.  Basically it involves trimming off half of one side of the card base, flipping it and adhering it back to the card front.  The only confusing this can be adding your designer paper.  I suggest using a non-directional paper when trying this out. 

    Here's the free project sheet you can print or download. Click on the following link: Download Bright Borders Diagonal fun fold

     

    Below is the video if you'd like to see how to assemble this card. I also share a pretty Sophisticated Sled project too.
