What? Whisper White card stock is discontinued! Snowflake Splendor card & bookmark in a pocket


Sad news!  Here's a message from Stampin' Up! regarding our favorite White card stock:

We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.

Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.

  • Whisper White 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
  • Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)
  • Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527)
  • Whisper White 3" x 3" (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Envelopes (145829)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" Cardstock (100730)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" Thick Cardstock (140272)
  • Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301)

If you love any of these products I recommend you order them ASAP.  Remember there is a limit of 2 per customer. Go here to order.

Here's a few sparkly projects featuring the Snowflake Splendor designer paper.  I think I could play with this for the next few months!  Here in ND we're usually in snow through March for sure and usually into April. 

For this card I simply cut a few snowflakes from the White panel and adhered it to the designer paper with Dimensionals.  The greeting is heat embossed using White powder on a Highland Heather Stitched Nested Label and a swirl of Iridescent ribbon is added behind it.  

This pretty paper is on the Closeout Sale happening now here.  It's 30% off while supplies last.  The Snowflake Wishes bundle is returning next year; I've used it a ton! 

Today is the last day to get my Snowflake Splendor kit to go.  It includes these same products: a half pkg. of this pretty paper, Iridescent ribbon and the pretty blue faceted gems plus 10 pre-cut fun fold cards.  That's $20 in product AND the 10 pre-cut cards for just $28.  Go here to get yours.    Or get the tutorial here. 

Here are the directions for the bookmark pocket:

  • Start with a 6” square for bookmark pocket; score lightly at 3”
  • Fold the Designer Paper in half at the 3” mark.  Then fold down the upper corner and glue down.
  • Use Stampin’ Seal on the lower and right side edges to close the pocket.
  • Punch the ends of the Highland Heather strip (1 ¼” X 8”, scored at 4)  and adhere across the lower middle. 
  • Stamp the greeting in Pacific Point ink onto the White Nested label die-cut (1 ½” X 2 ¾” finished size). Add with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Add a few White snowflakes with Multipurpose Glue. Add a few Blue Gems.
  • Stamp the greeting on the Bookmark using Pacific Point ink.  Add some snowflakes in Highland Heather ink, stamping off first for a lighter hue
  • Punch the upper end with the Fancy Tag Topper punch. Fold a 6” length of ribbon in half and insert the folded end in the front and pull the tails through the loop.  Tighten carefully, one end at a time.

  • Favored Flowers and Beautifully Happy – lots of ideas to inspire you!


    Today I'm featuring the Favored Flowers and Beautifully Happy Sale-a-Bration choices.  This awesome promotion ends tomorrow!  Do you have everything you want yet?  

    The Favored Flowers 12 X 12" DSP is filled with gorgeous florals and patterns.  You can see it here.  

    Some people are fussy cutting these pretty flowers out but you can use the DSP as is too.  It features these colors: Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink, 

    I am a little surprised it's still available.  The Dainty Flowers DSP sold out and I thought this one would be next.  

    Next I'm featuring my favorite stamp set in the Sale-a-Bration catalog – the Beautifully Happy set.  

    There are three main reasons it's a favorite:

    1. It's Distinktive and a 2-step set!  Distinktive means it gives two or more hues of color with one stamping.  Love these! 
    2. It's flowers!  Botanical sets tend to be among my faves. 
    3. The greetings are wonderful; I especially like the mixed font.  
    4. Okay; here's a 4th reason – it doesn't have to be colored in.  The solid stamps do it for you! 

    One of my favorite cards: 


    It's just a fabulous set!  And it's free with any $100 purchase through Tuesday, February 28th.  See it here. 

    I hope you find some inspiration among these samples.  

    More Sale-a-Bration samples shown tomorrow!

  • 3 FUN ways to use Window Sheets – check out these Team swaps!


    Our swap theme for our Flowerbug's Team was to feature either Window Sheets or Vellum on their cards.  The cards were amazing; as usual! 

    Today we're focusing on Window Sheets. 

    First is a special card made by Lori.  She used the Window Sheet as her card base!  I'm not sure I've ever seen that before…

    She used the Cup of Tea bundle and the newest In Colors on her card.  Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party & Sweet Sorbet.  

    She used the Stitched Rectangle dies for her front 'frame'. It measures 3" X 4 3/8" at the largest. She made two frames; one for the front and one for the inside. The die-cut tea cup is also positioned on the front and the back of the front.  

    She added a folded White layer inside that opens up.  It's 3 3/8" X 4" folded in half.  

    Then on the very back she added a piece of the Tea Boutique DSP that measures 3" X 4 1/4".  Such a unique card!  

    ~~~

    This next card was made by Ginny.  She used the Dandy Designs DSP for her card front.  It's almost monochromatic but there is a bit of Pear Pizzazz and Black too. So pretty!!


    She added a window sheet to bridge the upper and lower layers of the card front.  You can see the greeting through the window sheet.  Her greeting and the pretty floral die-cut is from the Framed Florets bundle.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 6 3/4" scored at 5 1/2". Lower card stock layer is 4 1/4" X 3".
    • DSP is 4" X 1" and 4" X 2 3/4"
    • Window sheet is 4" X 2 1/4"

    ~~~

    This next card was made by Paula.  She created a window from her DSP layer, adding Window Sheet behind it and a die-cut flower from the Framed Florets bundle in front. 

    The Designer Paper is called Design a Daydream; it's in the annual catalog and is a big 48 pack for just $18.  You can earn it once your order is over $150 with host benefits. 

    I love her wrap of linen thread with a tiny little bow as accent. 

    Measurements:

    • Soft Sea Foam card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
    • Pear Pizzazz 4" X 5 1/4"
    • DSP 3 3/4" X 5"
    • Window sheet 3" for the circle opening which is 2 1/2" 

    ~~~

    Next is a cute & colorful card that really shows off our Window Sheets! 

    Jackie made a type of bridge card where the window sheet allows you to see the inside layer from the front.  

    She is featuring the Butterfly Kisses suite here – the Butterfly Kisses 6" DSP and the Build a Butterfly dies

    Her window sheet is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" and she textured it with the Raindrops embossing folder from the Spring Catalog.  The lower layers are added to the base. 

    Her colors include Calypso Coral, Starry Sky & Crushed Curry. The curvy borders are done with the Seaside Bay dies. Neat effect!  

    She added the greeting inside the card with the Double Oval punch seen here; it's a big favorite of mine that I had wished for.  

    Measurements:

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 7", scored at 5 1/2".  Second Calypso Coral layer for the bottom front is 4 1/4" X 1 1/2"
    • DSP layers are 3 7/8" X 1"
    • Starry Night layers are 4 1/8" X 1 1/4" 

    Stay tuned for more swaps soon!
