Pumpkins, Punches & Masks for Autumn

2 Comments

After succumbing to temptation and adding the Pick of the Patch bundle to my crafting collection, I dreamed of combining it with the Abundant Beauty Masks (will hopefully be back in stock the week of Oct. 16!)

Pumpkin patches and sunflowers are the objects to take pictures with right now, and here are a couple of the cutest pumpkins in the sunflower patch (at least their grandmother thinks so):

Those adorable faces were the inspiration for today’s Lunchtime Live Crafting, and there are a few tips you’ll want to remember for aligning your stamps to make it easy to punch and how to use the masks, so here’s the replay:

Peaches from Apples, Plus Clearance Dies!

Leave a comment

Does your city have a community celebration during the summer? In Hurricane, Utah, we have PEACH DAYS at the end of August/first of September, and I’m drooling just writing about the peach shakes and all peach-inspired goodies that will be offered during the festivities.

This anticipation prompted me to pull out the Apple Harvest stamp set…because who says it has to be apples?

By coloring the apples with Watercolor Pencils and Blender Pens (not to be confused for Stampin’ Blends), I was able to get a “peachy” blush that was vine-ripe and mouth-watering. The key is to use the Calypso Coral AND Pumpkin Pie pencils on around the edges, then blend the colors toward the center with a Blender Pen.

Blender pens come in a 3-pack and I use washi tape to mark each end with a basic color (green, blue, purple, red/pink, yellow/orange and brown) so I don’t have to worry about wiping them too clean. You may use them to blend in refills or watercolor pencils and are VERY easy and forgiving.

I learned a new tip from an artist I follow on Instagram (@andrea.nelson.art) and that is to add a little BLUE to your leaves, and I love how it adds depth and dimension.

HERE’S THE AWESOME DEAL: The Apple Blossom dies which coordinate with the Apple Harvest stamp set ARE IN THE CLEARANCE RACK, WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!! They were a limited time offering in 2022, and are marked down to $14 (from $35).

Seriously, don’t miss these dies…who knows how long they will last?

DID YOU KNOW: August 24th is National Peach Pie day? It’s as good an excuse to send a card as any!

All About August

Leave a comment

While I’m coming to tell you all the super Stampin’ Up! stuff happening in August, stick around to the end for a Layering Leaves fun fold card that *doesn’t* require the Bough Punch!

First, it’s TIME TO REDEEM the Bonus Days coupons you earned in July!

For each $50 you spent in July, you were emailed a coupon code for $5 off your next order. Find those emails/codes and enter/redeem them with your orders before August 31st.

Next: All Kits in the Kit Collection are DISCOUNTED up to 30% all month long!

That sale INCLUDES the NEWEST Kit, just released today: Festive Tags!

Sensational tags…and how cute on a kit! Stock up on both for holiday gift-giving now.

If you didn’t hear yesterday, my personal focus in August is on the Layering Leaves stamp set: This set coordinates with the Bough Punch – which is sadly being restocked from overseas – but you can still earn my 3 for FREE offer by adding the stamps to any $50+ order this month:

You’ll get a tutorial for 3 free cards via email AND the consumable supplies to make those 3 cards in the mail! I’ll also send any customer who orders the stamp set this month a FIRST NOTIFICATION message as soon as that pesky Bough Punch is back in stock, for you’ll want it with your stamp set.

There are just a few supplies you’ll need to complete the 3 free card tutorials that WON’T be included. You may already have these on hand OR could substitute similar products, but if you want to add them to your order, here they are:

Ink Pads: Basic Gray, Boho Blue, Moody Mauve, Wild Wheat, Copper Clay, Granny Apple and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink pad

Adhesive: Stampin’ Seal or Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Mini Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals

Meanwhile…

Here’s a simple fun fold card that you can create with your Layering Leaves stamp set!

4 Backgrounds from 6×6 Paper: Corner Angle Layer Card

BREAKING NEWS: FREE SHIPPING day just announced! Set an alarm for Wednesday, June 21st and earn free shipping on your orders over $75 that day only!

Paper crafters pride themselves on using scraps, so when we find a way to NOT WASTE A PIECE of pretty paper, we must give it a try!

I appreciated this idea from fellow demonstrator Rachel Tessman, and with the Glorious Gingham Designer Series Paper ON SALE through June, knew it was time to share it with you! It’s a fabulous way to get 4 angled corner backgrounds from one 6″ x 6″ piece of Designer Series Paper, and you’ll love how simple it is.

Lay a ruler down and mark 1-1/2″ on each bottom right corner as you rotate the paper 90-degrees four times. Mark it on the BACK SIDE of the paper you want to use, then you don’t have to worry about erasing lines! Then connect the marks across from each other like this:

Use your Paper Trimmer to cut along each of your lines and you’ll have 4 angled pieces to put in the corners of your card fronts:

My card base is Thick Basic White Card stock: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, scored in half at 4-1/4″

Pretty Peacock card stock: 5-1/8″ x 3-7/8″

Basic White card stock: 5″ x 3-3/4″

I used the So Refreshing Bundle to complete my cards, and here’s a video to watch & learn how to:

Filled my pitcher with “water” and stuck in the flowers:

Let me know if you try it, or share your version in my Creative Corner Facebook Group for my V.I.C.’s (Very Important Crafters). Now turn up the alarm to remind you to order on Free Shipping Day and add these supplies to your cart:

Pinwheel Tower Card

1 Comment

You are going to want to make this card, believe me!

Since most of our Designer Series Paper is discounted through June 30th, I’ll be demonstrating some projects to inspire you to pull out your patterned paper and use every last scrap. You can set an alarm for Mondays and join me live on my Facebook Page or YouTube Channel at 12:30 pm MT, or watch the replay at your convenience.

Without further adieu, here is the fabulous Pinwheel Tower Card I taught today:

It opens up to stand and displays 4 panels! This card is best created in landscape orientation, giving you plenty of area on each panel to decorate or write a message. The finished size of this card (laying flat) is 4.25″ x 5.5″, so it fits into our Basic Medium Stampin’ Up! envelopes perfectly.

You’ll be delighted at how EASY this fancy card is to create and if you want to craft along with my video below, gather these supplies:

  1. One 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Designer Series Paper
  2. Four pieces of 2-1/2″ x 4″ Designer Series Paper that coordinate (don’t have to be the same pattern, but from the same pack) with another four 1-1/2″ x 4″ pieces of Designer Series Paper.
  3. Four 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ panels of card stock that match one of the colors from your Designer Series Paper
  4. Simply Scored Board (or paper trimmer with scoring blade)
  5. Adhesive

Once you’ve made a Pinwheel Tower Card, you may want to make a larger version in a slimline card, which could also be a “mini album” if you add photos to some of the panels!

This version is 9″ x 4″ when flat, so it fits into a legal envelope (don’t forget to stamp your envelope, too).

For this larger version, here are the supplies you’ll need (and adjusted measurements):

  1. One 4″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Designer Series Paper (still score along the longest side at each inch)
  2. Four pieces of 3-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ Designer Series Paper (or cardstock) with another four 3-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ pieces of Designer Series Paper (or cardstock and scraps of Designer Series Paper, as shown)
  3. Four 4-1/2″ x 4″ panels of card stock that match one of the colors from your Designer Series Paper
  4. Simply Scored Board (or paper trimmer with scoring blade)
  5. Adhesive

I used the BRIGHT & BEAUTIFUL Designer Series Paper along with the Sweetest Cherries stamps and Cherry builder punch on the Slimline version, and will list the supplies for the Hello, Irresistible original card below.

Starter Kit+, Paper Sale & Congrats Tag

Leave a comment

Rounding up all the JUNE 2023 Stampin’ Up! goodness you need to know about in one place!

Let’s start with a story.

While other teenagers were taking the ACT for college prep and planning out their lives, my goal as a Junior in High School was to work at Disneyland or fly the Millennial Falcon. When my career counselor dashed the dreams of flying the falcon, I thought perhaps I’d drive an 18-wheeler—the closest comparable for a girl with terrible vision who knew she wouldn’t legally be allowed to fly a plane.

When I eventually had to choose a major in college, I chose Travel & Tourism for the adventure it promised, then I got married just before my senior year and ended up at a different university that didn’t offer Travel as a major, so I switched to (and graduated in) Music Education.

Fast forward a few years and with two babies to take care of, I gave up teaching piano lessons for a season to be a mom. It was wonderful, but I needed adult conversation and affirmation (funny how no one gives you kudos for a clean bathroom or balanced meal). It was at that time I “discovered” rubber stamping and what a fabulously flexible and comfortingly creative career that has been!

While I started for the fun and joy it brought (and a reason to “play” in the evenings at workshops with women who connected through creativity), I’ve STAYED for the relationships…many of them gathered into the Sprinkled Ink Team. Supporting my creative community makes me thrilled to get up in the morning, and Monday is my favorite day of the week, for I get to “see” you on my YouTube/Facebook lunchtime crafting!

NOW is the time to begin **YOUR** Stampin’ Up! Story – or just take advantage of the best shopping deal – with the Starter Kit+

There is NO OBLIGATION when purchasing the Starter Kit+ and if you have a wish list over $100, give it a try! You’ll get to peek behind the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator curtain (and my Sprinkled Ink Team support) for 3 full months to see if it’s a path you’d like to continue, all while getting a discount on your own purchases as you make up your mind.

Next, most of our Designer Series Paper is 15% off during June!

Having some of this pretty patterned paper on hand helps you flow into your “Maker Mode” when you are in the zone! Which will you order first?

ADDED VALUE: Choose Designer Series Paper at the discounted price to add to the Starter Kit+ this month, stretching the value that you can add even more amazing!

Something that makes my heart swell is when a member of my Sprinkled Ink team promotes to a new level, and I get to celebrate their accomplishment! I’m like a proud mama! If it’s one of my own direct demonstrators, I send a gift to reward their hard work. Today I got to drop off a special notebook & pen with a one-of-a-kind tag created just for Paula’s promotion to Bronze Elite Demonstrator, and look forward to cheering her on as her business/her way just gets better!

Conversation Bubbles Stencil

Leave a comment

Crafter Problems #763: When you haven’t had time to play with a stamp set & die bundle before it’s about to be retired!

Today I showed how to use the dies from the Conversation Bubbles bundle (about to retire from the Jan-April mini catalog) to create a stencil for the background of a card:

Inspired by Cathy Zielke‘s concept on Youtube, I figured I could make my OWN stencil, and it worked beautifully! What other dies would you try to make your own stencil with?

My problem is YOUR opportunity: Starting tomorrow (April 4th), you can shop the LAST CHANCE SALE in my Stampin’ Store to collect the Conversation Bubbles stamp set and Conversation Bubbles dies at a discount! The bundle was $46.75 originally, but if you purchase them separately, the total will be just $32 (while supplies last)!

Watch the video here (feel free to speed it up on YouTube to make it quick and easy):

I hope I’ll have time to spotlight this playful bundle one more time before they are gone for good.

Meanwhile, set an alarm to remind you to shop my Stampin’ Store tomorrow for the Last Chance Sale!

Retiring Colors & Last Chance List

Leave a comment

A flurry of activity at Stampin’ Up! the past few days: Demonstrators were given a peek into the COLOR REFRESH that is coming with the new Annual Catalog on May 2nd – including the 2023-2024 IN COLORS – as well as a list of all the retiring products (see below).

You may come back tomorrow for a look at some of the NEW colors, but first, let’s talk about what is leaving.

These CORE COLORS are leaving the lineup to make room for a fresh new set of hues! If your favorites are on this list, you will want to quickly MAKE SURE YOU HAVE an ink refill for your ink pads, as well as card stock and any accessories in the same color.

When a big change like this happens, ink refills are the first thing to sell out, so don’t wait!

I AM happy that Fresh Freesia is going to step up and take a place in the SU! Subtle color family, but the other 2021-2023 In-Colors are also walking out the door…

I will share what I can tomorrow about the NEW & Returning colors.

The list of retiring products from the ANNUAL catalog and January – April Mini Catalog is also available now!

As you download or print these lists, you’ll notice that some have a discount by them: THE LAST CHANCE SALE BEGINS APRIL 4th, but if you have a favorite item, beware that some supplies are limited and may sell out before the sale starts. Once they are gone, they will NOT be restocked.

ONE THING I DON’T WANT YOU TO MISS OUT ON

is the Stamaparatus! Sadly, SU! had to make a legal decision to discontinue this amazing tool, and it’s indispensible for stampers…do you have one yet? ADD IT TO YOUR CART NOW!

With all the changes, I’m cleaning out my Stamp Studio in preparation for my BOGO SALE and NEW Catalog Open House on May 6th! Mark your calendar and come to this once-a-year event at my house in Hurricane, UT and bring a friend.

Thank you for letting me serve your creative needs – Loni

Last Chance to Party (with select products)

Leave a comment

Did you miss the opportunity to get the coordinating dies for This Birthday Piggy, Yeti to Party or Apple Harvest stamp set?

Are you a savvy shopper and love stocking up for next year early?

TODAY IS YOUR DAY!

New items have been added to the CLEARANCE RACK **and** the Last Chance list from the July-December catalog is up, with many holiday items on sale up to 60% off. This is not the time to dilly-dally, because when they are gone, they are gone.

I’ll be sharing some projects on social media all day (follow me on FB & Insta), but just for you here, this is a big tag I created a few months ago to go on the dishwasher we replaced for my Mother-in-Love for her birthday & Christmas gift…and if you know Launa, you know she love PIGS and I love having dies to cut out the images from “This Birthday Piggy” stamp set:

I forgot to take a picture of the finished tag on the dishwasher, so all you get is the video!

These coordinating dies will go fast, along with Designer Series Paper and embellishments from the current mini catalog that are deeply discounted, so fill your cart and craft for Christmas.
