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.

  • Customize your cards with the Playful Alphabet!


    Who doesn't like a customized card WITH your name on it!  You won't find that at Hallmark!  Use the Playful Alphabet dies to create a one of a kind card. 

    I made this for my granddaughter Eliza. She is almost 7 and loves anything with her name on it. 

    The color palette was chosen by the designer paper Playing with Patterns.  It's full of bright, unique colors and patterns.  In fact, behind her name is a piece of the paper.  The gradation of colors sure fits the card well doesn't it?  

    I used the Stitched Nested Label dies.  I cut out the letters from the White die-cut and popped that up over a strip of the DSP.  I added some Seal Plus to the bottom edge and pressed my ribbon onto that in small loops.

    Her favorite color is turquoise; just like mine!  I chose two pieces of Designer paper for the card front and separated them with a strip of Crushed Curry.  You can see these products below in my store.

  • Quarter Diagonal cards; watch on FB Live tonight!


    If you're like most stampers you have a LOT of Designer Paper stocked up.  I've been on a mission to use mine up and help you with ideas to use yours too.  There's always more we want; so here's a way to use some so you don't feel so bad about purchasing more!  Ha! 

    Below are the cards we're making tonight on Facebook Live – Stamp with Me.  It's the 2nd and 4th Monday nights each month at 7:30 pm CT.  Join me here. 

    Be sure to follow my FB page so you get notified when I'm live.  

    I chose to use the Magic in the Night designer paper; seen here in our Halloween DSP in the 2020 Holiday catalog.  I love the colors of Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze, Black, Blackberry Bliss and White.  And as you can see some of the designs are not all Halloween!  

    The greetings and die-cuts are from the Celebration Tidings Bundle seen here.  I love that it has multiple holidays and these dies are amazing! 

    Here's how you create the diagonal layers; it's so easy! 

    For 2 cards, cut 2 pieces of Designer paper (or card stock) at 4" X 5 1/4". Then cut each in half on the diagonal. Next put those pieces back together on your paper trimmer to reform the full piece (just placing; not gluing) and cut on the diagonal in the other direction. Now you'll have 4 triangle shaped pieces from one 4" X 5 1/4" piece.
    I chose two coordinating pieces of DSP that would work on all 4 sides and that makes 2 full card fronts.

    For the card below I chose to use the Gilded Autumn specialty DSP.  The colors here are Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Vanilla.

  • Lots to Celebrate stamp set & fun card ideas


    I made time to play with the Lots to Celebrate stamp a few weeks ago and featured these cards on Tuesday's FB Live.  Remember that I host a weekly FB Live every Tuesday at 11 am CT here. Follow me so you don't miss any!

    This fun, versatile stamp set is my good friend Susie Wood's Million Dollar Achiever stamp set. She created it to coordinate with the Jar Punch.  Click here to see it online.  We've been stamping buddies for years since we met at my first Founder's Circle event and always hang out together at every SU event we can.  Click here to see her blog.  


    Aren't they fun?  I cased three cards she made and sent me and changed them up a bit; some more than others. 


    The colors above are Pumpkin Pie with Crushed Curry & Early Espresso.  That gorgeous designer paper is from the Plaid Tidings seen here. I used three punches here; the Fancy Tag Topper, the Jar punch and the Autumn Punch Pack. 


    Watch the video below to see her original cards and how I changed them.  Plus I show more of her creative cards too.
