Place for Poinsettias

The August–December 2020 Mini Catalog Inspiration

POINSETTIA PLACE SUITE

The ICONIC flower of the holidays, a poinsettia looks as elegant on your cards as it does on your table!

Special touches like the flocked vellum in the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper (#153486), the dazzling Beaded Pearls (#153534), and the elegant Real Red Sheer Ribbon (#153535) make this suite stand out and shine. I also love that the Poinsettia Dies (#153522) have duplicates of several dies. That means when you stamp the layering poinsettia and leaf images from the coordinating Poinsettia Petals stamp set (#153475), you can save time by cutting out two of each at one time. We all love to save time!

From traditional colors to modern, monochrome elegance you’ll be amazed at all the different styles you can create with this suite

Embrace The Curves

November 5, 2020November 3, 2020Leave a comment

Embrace your CURVES: Especially in your craft room! These NEW curvy stamps and dies are the perfect twist to take your projects beyond the ordinary.

You can begin creating NOW with the early-release of the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle, part of which will be available January 5th… but you don’t want to wait and here’s why:

Through January 4th only, you can get the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle that includes two additional, exclusive, coordinating Christmas themed goodies and save 10% on it all!

Taking the curves into Christmas, I used the coordinating “Classic Christmas” Designer Series Paper stack to pull the theme all the way through, even though it stays with a monochromatic (Shaded Spruce) palette.

Another holiday card: The decorated edges really dress up the edge of a card…or make a pretty banner!

You won’t be able to get the Curvy Christmas stamp set or Classic Christmas 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper once it goes live with the 2021 January-June Mini Catalog; They are only available as part of this special pre-order period (or while supplies last) so don’t delay~ add a curvy touch to your Christmas projects while you can.

Plaid Tidings: 3 for Free Class Kit

September 1, 2020Leave a comment

When a stamp set works for more than one season, it’s a great investment. When you can get it in a bundle with dies that could be used for ANYTHING, it’s as good as if you had invested in ZOOM in 2019.

I’ve chosen this collection of products to be my “3 for Free” class in September 2020: When you purchase the Plaid Tidings Suite from my Stampin’ Store, I’ll send you the consumable supplies to create 3 projects and the tutorial for the projects will hit your email inbox before the supplies arrive in your mailbox!

It was delightful to invent this new fun fold~ calling it the Label Flap Card:

Here’s the video tutorial…count it as ANOTHER card you can create with your new supplies!

The Christmas version of the same card:

There are a few things you’ll need to complete the 3-for-Free class kit. You may substitute ink colors or adhesives you already have in your craft studio as well as a compatible die cutting machine (like the Big Shot). If you need any of these supplies, you may add them to your order at the same time.

Suggested Supplies:

Ink pads: Memento Black, Cinnamon Cider, Pretty Peacock, Cherry Cobbler and Shaded Spruce.

Stampin’ Blends: Pumpkin Pie Combo

Other: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Simply Scored ~or~ Stampin Trimmer, Blender Pen, Stampin’ Seal Adhesive, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Small circle punch, stapler

Use the products for bag toppers (see last post), greeting cards and home decor like this interchangeable, multi-season, decor frame. With an interchangeable “O” for each season, wouldn’t it be a lovely gift to enjoy all year round?

Theater Card: Whale of a Time

July 30, 2020August 4, 2020Leave a comment

This is a card you send to someone you really *really* REALLY love… and they are going to love it, too!

IMG_6468-(W)

We made this at our July stamp club so you don’t need to be cautious to try it: It’s easier than it looks and the trick is to cut the basic pieces first.

Once you’ve made one Theater Card, you’ll want to make another. I’m here to make it easier for you with a video tutorial and cutting guide (see below).

Before I give you the cutting instructions, I wanted to tell you that today is World Day against Human Trafficking: Did you know we have more people enslaved now than ANY other time in the world? And of the 30 million current slaves, 10 million are children? I’ve supported Operation Underground Rescue as my primary charity since I learned about this pernicious plague 3 years ago, so I’m linking arms again today and tomorrow with O.U.R. to help make a difference and your order will help!

savingPNG

Thank you for considering how to help make a difference and Rise Up for the children. Now on to the instructions for your Theater Card pieces.

Cutting Guide:
Cut the following pieces from the same color of card stock:

(2) 4-1/4” x 5-1/2”
(2) 4” x 5-3/8” scored in landscape position at 1-1/16” and 2-5/8” (watch video for instructions to cut slits)
(2) 6-1/4” x 3/4” strips, scored on each end at 1”
(1) 1-1/4” x 4-1/4” trimmed to an i-Beam (see video)

Designer Series Paper (DSP)

5-1/4” x 4” for front of card
3” x 4” for back of “stage”
3/4” x 4” for front of I-Beam (optional)

Tips:

Layer the largest piece of DSP on the front of a 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” panel (don’t adhere them together yet). Use the 4th largest Stitched Rectangle die to cut a window in the front of both
Adhere the DSP frame to card stock frame, and cut the piece of DSP from the inside of the frame in half to use for the “curtain” later.
Use the Multipurpose liquid glue: It has some “wiggle room” while it is wet, then a firm bond once it dries.

I’m showing one layout done two ways. The first is a simple stamping card using stamps, ink, and paper. The second is a stepped up version that adds in die cutting, 3D embossing, and heat embossing.

A World of Good In Your Hands

July 11, 2020July 6, 2020Leave a comment

My husband and I were supposed to go to Germany last month…a dream vacation we had been saving for years to take! While that trip is on hold now until 2022, I’ll take comfort in the World of Good suite to do some armchair travel or document past adventures.

This suite has an antique, old-world elegance and includes the Beautiful World stamp and die bundle, foil accented World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper, a coordinating Memories & More card pack, and antiqued embellishments that will make your projects rich in detail.

Get your adventures started with an out-of-the-box creation using a new Mini Paper Pumpkin box!

————————————————–

World of Good Suitcase Box

Cover the box with a piece of the World of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper, then use coordinating products to embellish.

TIPS:

*Use a Bone Folder to curve the card stock strip used for the handle. The Bone Folder will stretch and bend the paper fibers without creasing, giving you a smoother handle.

*Store treasures from a trip in this box: It fits nicely in a bookshelf and you can open it whenever you want to return to the memories it holds!

Masking (Crafting, not Covid)

July 6, 2020July 6, 2020Leave a comment

Long before it was a Covid-19 thing, stampers were masking – in a fun way!

Masking is a simple technique that blocks off areas of a project to create white space. It can create a faux layering effect or highlight an area for a greeting or focal point. Masking can be loose and artsy with torn edges or precise straight lines or shapes depending on what you use to create your mask.

This card also features several new products from the gorgeous Flowers For Every Season Suite:

Use a sticky note to cover the section of the card you want to leave blank. Stamp over the top and color image, then remove the sticky note to reveal the blank space. Add a greeting or border, as shown on the finished card.

TIP: Sticky notes are ideal for creating torn, punched, or die-cut masks because they are thin and the sticky section helps hold them in place temporarily without damaging your paper or cardstock.
