New Inked & Tiled in a Book Binding Easel fun fold card; video tutorial & measurements too!

May 22, 2023

I'm just a little bit in love with this special fun fold layout! I've made three versions of it this month….

I featured two new colors in our Stampin' Up! catalog – Boho Blue & Pebbled Path with returning Misty Moonlight & White.

I hope you watch the video here or below to see how to make this neat card. It's so much easier than it looks!

I knew this stamp set would be fun to play with. The greetings are wonderful and of course the botanical images are beautiful!

Details:

I stamped the large leaf repeatedly onto the Boho Blue layers using Versamark ink. I let it dry and then textured it with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder. I love this new folder!!
How did I get the two-tone colors on my flowers? I used both an ink pad and markers. I inked the flowers first in Boho Blue. Then I colored the stems using a Pebbled Path Stampin' Write marker. Huff and stamp! Why huff? Huffing with your moist breath re-moistens the ink on your stamp. This can be especially helpful with solid type stamps.
After stamping I used the same Pebbled Path marker to add more detail to the base of each flower.
For an easel card you need something to hold it open. I stamped the flower in the set onto a piece of Boho Blue and punched it out with the Petal Park Builder punch. I curled and distressed the petals and added it with a few Mini Dimensionals.

The card does lay flat for mailing.

I added a looped piece of the 2023-25 In Color Jute trim under my punched Oval greeting. I did sponge a bit of Boho Blue on the edges first.

In the video I share two other beautiful cards made with the Inked & Tiled stamp set. I made two of them for swaps on the Stampin' Up! incentive trip I'm on right now! A Norwegian cruise!

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.

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!

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

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!

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.
