No one likes to hear that prices are going up. I know that. Unfortunately like everything else right in our world lately Stampin' Up! has cost increases.  Unless they pass this along to us….. well, you know what could happen and we don't want that!! 

Below is a list of the price changes occurring in the 2024-26 Annual Catalog. If you need any of these products I suggest you get them now; in April!

  • Best Tips for successful Shaker Cards with video tutorial!

    Who wouldn't like to receive a shaker card?!  They're fun, shakable and hard to resist playing with. 

    Washi tape shaker Save

    I made a bunch of these for our July Team card swap featuring 'window sheets'. I love the fact that I could get multiple, colorful die-cut flowers with the Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape and the coordinating die-cut. Just add it to another piece of cardstock and die-cut. So fast & EASY!

    Notice the sponged green designer paper above. That is the Irresistible Designs 12" DSP seen here.  I added Olive ink to it with a Blending Brush; the printed embossed designs 'resist' the ink.  Pretty cool! 

    I used the Paper Tags stamp set – stamping the greeting directly onto the window sheet with Black Stazon ink. Then I turned it over to add a bit of Flirty Flamingo blends marker on the 'celebrate' part.

  • Another ‘WOW’ card swap with the Beautiful Butterflies stained glass technique

    Today I have another stunning Team card swap made by Tracey featuring Window Sheets. She featured the Beautiful Butterflies bundle seen here:

    July Tracey Beautiful Butterflies Save

    Her colors include Shy Shamrock with Petunia Pop, Black, White & Gold embossing. 

    Here's how she made this card:

    1. Texture the White layer with the Hybrid embossing folder; add to the Petunia layer and the card base. 
    2. Ink the butterfly image in Versamark and stamp on the Window sheet. Heat emboss with Gold embossing powder. Die-cut with the coordinating die.  *she did say some of the embossing powder on the edge frayed off when it went through the die-cut.  
    3. Color the back of the butterfly with Blends markers.  Adhere to the White cardstock layer with Foam Strip adhesive in the center only. Add the center 'body' die-cut.
    4. Heat emboss the greeting onto the Black strip with White embossing powder.  Finish with gems. 

    Here's the full bundle that includes stamps, dies and a Hybrid embossing folder. What is a 'Hybrid Embossing folder?  It's where you can cut AND emboss/texture at the same time!

    And look how she finished the inside!  She used the Baby Wipe technique to achieve a multi-colored butterfly.
