Cards like this one really show it off!

Many of the cards in this kit are fun folds.  Remember that everything is pre-cut for you including die-cuts & punched pieces.  The only thing you have to cut is your brand new designer paper that's included in the card kit.  

Besides a half pack of designer paper you also get shares of three spools of twine and Black Matte dots.  The PDF tutorial is free in the kit.  It's $28 plus shipping and the kits are mailed out at the end of the month.  

I design these cards so all you need are greeting images; this time I featured the Happy Labels stamp set seen here. Add it on to the kit to go and you're just $6 away from a free Sale-a-Bration choice! Contact me here to add on to your kit. Black ink is the only color you'll need to finish the cards.

• 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.

• A striking technique with the Naturally Gilded specialty paper; with video & free project sheet!

  March 25, 2024

  ---

  I shared how to make this card on last week's video. It features the Naturally Gilded designer paper seen here.  

  Save

  This pretty paper has a white background and Silver, Gold or Copper foil patterns. You can see it in the Online Exclusives while supplies last. 

  Save

  I decided to do a direct to paper resist technique and change the White background to Black.  You can do this technique on any foil printed designer paper. The foil resists the ink so you can wipe it off once the background is saturated. 

  I used a Black Memento ink pad which is water-based. You can use any water-based ink but not Stazon. Stazon ink would cover the foil patterns. 

  How did I do it?  I had my paper laying face up and rubbed or tapped my Memento ink pad all over the specialty paper. Once you're done adding ink simply wipe the ink off the foil prints with a tissue or paper towel.  

  Save

  I created a free project sheet for these cards; you can download or print it here: Download Naturally Gilded Ink Resist technique

  *Below is the video where I shared this technique.  I also shared my new Annual Catalog products and lots of amazing swaps too.  Be sure to follow me on YouTube here.

• Poetic Expression fun fold swap card

  March 22, 2024

  ---

  Last week I shared this image on Facebook.  It was a bit of a tease to guess what the finished card would be like. 

  Save

  It has Pool Party, White, Lost Lagoon and some Poetic Expressions designer paper (retiring in April). 

  It also shows the greeting die-cut from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder seen here.  I feel like it makes my greetings extra special.  They're a pretty font and give texture and dimension to your projects. (I shared how to use this folder here in a video.)

  Save

  And that is the finished card.  I made 12 of these for an organized fun fold swap. I am a huge fan of monochromatic cards and these colors are at the top of my favorites list.  

  The tag is from the Something Fancy dies seen here.  I love the many label & greeting shapes this set has. 

  Save

  Here's the inside view. 

  Measurements are so simple!  Once you cut off the end of the card front you flip it 90 degrees and use it as the front layer. 

  • Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4"
  • DSP – 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3" 
  • Inside White 5 1/4" X 4" 

  Here's the inside view.  This greeting is from the Simply Zinnia set seen here.
