Tomorrow is the last day; get two pre-cut kits and save on shipping!


tomorrow is the last day to get either of my May pre-cut kits to go.  I have two choices!  You can choose one or both!  If you want both I can combine shipping to save you money.

First is the Quick Cards kit; 10 cards including a few unique folds.  And they're not all flowery either!  Of course you can 'add' flowers if you'd like to…… 

 

This kit to go includes $20 in product AND a pre-cut cards kit; all for $28 plus shipping.  The product alone costs just over $24 so you're getting the 10 cards kit for less than $4.  It includes a full pack of 6 X 6" Regals designer series paper, a full spool of White Flax ribbon and 1/2 pkg. of Holiday rhinestones.  

I used the So Sentimental stamp set on my cards. You can substitute any stamp set you own though. 

There are three options for you with this kit. Purchase and see them all here. 

  1. First is the complete bundle that includes the pre-cut cards, product, pdf tutorial AND the So Sentimental stamp set for $59.50.
  2. Second choice is the pre-cut cards kit, product and pdf tutorial for $36.
  3. Lastly you can purchase just the pdf tutorial; with no kit or product for $15. 

*I have a limited number of these kits available.  If you want one; do not wait! Go here to get yours. 

**If you are already subscribed to my monthly kits to go I have one of these set aside for you.  Do not order another!

The second available kit includes these gorgeous cards!  Stock up on your supply of masculine cards with this kit that requires NO stamping!

It includes $18 in products including 1/2 pkg of Come Sail Away Memories & More cards pack and Memories & More cards and envelopes plus a pre-cut kit needed to complete your cards.  It also includes one package of Basic Brads, two spools of twine (Navy & Navy/Sahara Sand) and a few Sail Away trinkets. 

I have a limited supply of this kit on hand because many of the products are retiring.  Many of these items are on sale right now on the Last Chance list here. 

Purchase it here by May 17th.

Both of these kits will be mailed out at the end of this month, which gives you some wonderful crafting time.

  • Wow – Texturing Vellum is a fabulous effect! Check out this pretty Softly Sophisticated card


    I couldn't stop playing with the Softly Stippled designer paper and the Softly Sophisticated bundle!  This card came together by using a sketch layout I saw online. 

    There are so many neat details on this card; I'll list a few of them.  

    • Check out the textured vellum!  It's done with the Softly Sophisticated folder (sale-a-Bration choice). Our vellum cardstock doesn't crack!
    • The pretty Softly Stippled designer paper seen here in the background adds even more texture. 
    • The dotted rectangle die-cut is from the Everyday Details dies seen here. 
    • Check out the ribbon treatment. I tied a bow around the Pool Party ribbon (Sale-a-Bration choice) with the Pebbled Path jute twine – separated into one strand. 
    • The stamps are from the Softly Sophisticated bundle seen here – gorgeous greetings and 2-step florals. 

    I've mentioned it before but I'm finding our new Pebbled Path to be a wonderful neutral color with our soft subtle colors. It's brown but with a slight gray tone to it.  Lovely!

    What's your favorite color to combine with Pebbled Path?

  • Fabulous & SO Easy ‘Quilted Star’ card with a cool punch trick, a free project sheet & video


    One of my team members shared a card like this in our Flowerbug's group and claimed it was so easy she's making lots of these cards.  I loved it so much I had to find out how she made it! 

    I learned how by watching the creators video; her name is Julie Heitz and she goes by the Chirpy Cardmaker. I shared how to make it during last week's Live video.  

    The products used include the pretty Softly Stippled designer paper from our Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's free with any $50 Stampin' Up! order.  See it here.  

    Colors are Pool Party, White & Pebbled Path.  Aren't they beautiful together? Pebbled Path is like a cross between brown & gray; it's a wonderful neutral!  

    Here's another color combo I tried using the same Softly Stippled designer paper – Calypso Coral with Wild Wheat. 

    You can see the 'quilting' better on this photo. That is the Softly Sophisticated embossing folder – it's also a free choice in out SAB catalog but is paired with a stamp set (greeting used here) – both are free with a $100 order. See them here.  

    Creating this quilted star block with paper is super easy. However watching the video helps a lot!

    1. Start by drawing a line from corner to corner on your 3" white card stock square.
    2. Choose 4 strips of designer paper 1/2" X 6". Add two strips to one corner and the other two strips to the corner next to it. 
    3. Weave the strips as shown. Then adhere down the opposite ends of each strip to the White square.  
    4. Trim off excess. 

    You might think it would be hard to get those perfect points on your star, right?  That was my first thought when I saw this card layout; I'd never get them perfect.  Well there's a super easy trick to it! 

        5. After you add your strips to the white square, trimming off the excess, you'll add four white 3/4" squares to each corner.  It creates the points for you!  Genius! 

        6. Run the block through an embossing folder. It helps to 'deboss' it so any stitching is pressed in.  When using the Softly Sophisticated folder you'll have the wrong side up on the Stampin' Up! label.  

    You might notice the unique banner for my greeting.  It's created with the Inked & Tiled punch like this:  

    I start out with a 5/8" white strip and insert the punch in the back of the punch; not the usual place. Wiggle it into the slot and adjust it until it's even and punch.  Now you'll start looking at your punches in a new way and likely find some great options for banners!  The nice thing is that it doesn't have to be a certain width to work.

    Remember there is a free project sheet for most of my video projects; see them all here.
