Sneak Peek of new products with a sketch for inspiration


On last week’s video I shared three cards featuring a new designer paper coming out in November. It’s called Brushed with Beauty.

My colors include Very Vanilla, Mossy Meadow & Calypso Coral. The stamp & dies bundle is called Words of Beauty and is part of the Brushed with Beauty suite. Demonstrators (& new team members) are able to order it early but you can see and order these new products on November 4th. They’re part of our Online Exclusives – new products released every other month.

This layout was inspired by a sketch. Every month my Flowerbug’s have a creative challenge involving sketches or a color combo. This will be our November sketch inspiration. Sketches are a fabulous start to creating a card or scrapbook page. And they’re just an inspiration. As you can see I did not use a circle but the die from the Label Me Grateful dies seen here. I also flipped the center rectangle on it’s side.

The Words of Beauty bundle will be a great option for greeting phrases. It includes two large sets of dies with the words ‘just’ and ‘because’ and then plenty of words to create your greeting. Plus the die I used with the word ‘because’ below is one of three in the package.

You’ll notice the new packaging in the photo below. All new stamps & dies will be in these envelopes. Also all new stamps will be clear photopolymer and not red rubber.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here to print or download it. Did you know I have a category at the top of my blog where you can see lots of these? They’re great inspiration and include many fun fold cards.

I hope you’ll try this sketch layout. It’s a fun one! When you do, please share your project in my FB group here. We love seeing what everyone makes!

Below is the video for this card and two more – all featuring new & upcoming Stampin’ Up! products!

  • Beautiful Fall card swaps!


    Look at these stunning swaps made by my Team.  Our theme for September's swap was autumn cards. 

    Annette created this first one using a innovative sponging technique 

    I'm sure you cannot guess how she did this …..! 

    It features the Welcoming Woods stamp set seen here. She used a variety of colors like Highland Heather, Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Misty Moonlight.  

    Here's how she did it: She gathered up a sheet of plastic wrap and dabbed it in ink a few times.  Then she dabbed it horizontally across her stamped image piece.  With each color change, she re-rolled the plastic wrap & blended the previous one a bit to achieve a beautiful sunset look. 

    She added some of the leaves from the stamp set to the inside as well.  

    This next card made by Karen features a bunch of beautiful metallic products!

    • Detailed Pumpkin dies seen here
    • Brushed Metallic Adhesive-Backed dots
    • Paper Lattice (annual catalog)
    • Copper Foil sheets (annual catalog)
    • Tasteful Textiles embossing folder 
    • Vellum card stock

  • Gorgeous Leaves paired with the Timber embossing folder


    Today I get to share two cards made by my talented Team members who used the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves bundle seen here.  I shared a bunch earlier this week as well. Click here to see them. 

    First is a beautiful card made by Marilyn.  Her colors include Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Old Olive & Crushed Curry. 

    It's hard to see in this photo but after she stamped the background she ran it through the die-cutting machine with the Timber embossing folder.  

    Her die-cut leaves are darker than the normal hues since she sponged the corresponding color over each one.  Neat effect! 

    Measurements: 

    • Crumb Cake 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5" & Stitched So Sweetly die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 5/8"
    • Vanilla 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" & 2 1/8" X 3 1/4"

    Next is a lovely card made by Deloris. She also used the Timber embossing folder seen here. 

    She also added a strip of the Cork specialty paper.  This paper can be found in the Holiday catalog on page 55.  It sure adds a neat touch to autumn or men's cards! 

    Her colors include Early Espresso, Cajun Craze & Bumblebee. 

    Measurements:

    • Early Espresso card 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
    • Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5"
    • White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
    • Cork 1" X 4 1/2"
    • Bumblebee 1/4" X 4 1/2" strip
