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.

What’s New at SU! – A Mini Bonanza

April 15, 2020April 17, 202010 Comments

Whats new (2)

Welcome to our blog hop through the January-June Mini Catalog: Our group of demonstrators from around the world look forward to sharing ideas that you can incorporate into your paper crafting using Stampin’ Up! products.

I’m showcasing my favorite part of the Bonanza Buddies Suite: The tag die!

151566g

The size of the tag is generous and gives you plenty of room to stamp. These are two tags I made to use on my grandchildren’s birthday gifts:

IMG_5027-(W)

The stitched edge around the tag is a detail that adds a finishing touch. Plus the animal “buddies” fit on the tag with room for a sentiment. IMG_5028-(W)

You don’t have to stop at a gift tag, take that tag and put it on a card, too:

IMG_5161-(W)

As you are hopping through the blog posts, pause to leave a comment and grab a notebook to jot down creative ideas, draw a card sketch you want to try, color combinations you love or pin them to a Pinterest board!

Ornate Garden Specialty DSP Card

April 13, 2020Leave a comment

The think I love MOST about the Early Release Ornate Garden Suite is the DESIGNER SERIES PAPER! 152488g

Some of the sheets of this paper (inspired by Victorian Foils) have gold foil designs on one side and they are so very frilly and feminine:

This card is a unique way to see BOTH sides of the paper by using the DSP as your card base. I’m sharing a tutorial and you can click on any of the project pictures to download it! It opens up accordion style like this:

If you struggle with die cutting detailed dies (like the ornate frames in this suite of paper crafting products) I shared a TIP on this Facebook Live Video that will make die cutting SO MUCH EASIER for fancy things like this!

Got a lot to say in your card? Add another layer of card stock in the first fold and you can write a longer message to the recipient:
