Stampin' Up! Tune In Bundle, Hidden Message card

Hidden Message TV Card – plus July Virtual Class

June 17, 2024June 17, 2024Leave a comment

Today on the Creative Juice Crafting Channel, an interactive birthday card featuring a hidden message that appears “on screen”… and NEWS FLASH, it’s a gift card holder, too!

When you pull out the “Stay Tuned” screen, the birthday greeting appears:

What’s on the inside of the card? A pocket ready for a gift card, gift certificate, cash or a note.

The TUNE IN stamp & die bundle has a “retro” feel and has been unique to play with, so I will feature it in my July Crafting Happiness Virtual Class! Another option that will work well with the virtual class is the ATTENTION SHOPPERS bundle. Both bundles are an EXTRA 10% off during June, so whichever you prefer, NOW is the time to order them and register for the class.

*** When you order either bundle from my Stampin’ Store, you’ll get an email with a discount code for $5 off the class registration fee.

The Crafting Happiness class will be privately streamed to YouTube on Wednesday, July 17th at 4 pm MT, and registered crafters can watch LIVE or at their leisure anytime after the live stream.

The class is designed so you can stamp along and it’s up to you to use the suggested stamp sets OR use a set of stamps + dies you already own. There will be 5 projects and this is what is included:

Class packet includes:

Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack (Item #16133)
Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins (Item #161627)
Card Stock, Designer Series Paper and accessories cut for projects
One sheet of Stampin’ Dimensionals
Envelopes and packaging
Sweet surprises!

Also needed (not included in class fee):

Tune In bundle OR Attention Shoppers bundle OR use one of your own,
Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (or Mini Machine) or similar die cutting machine for coordinating dies (MACHINES are also 10% off in June!!)
Ink Pads: Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad (#132708), Balmy Blue (#147105), Basic Beige (#163806), Cajun Craze (#147085), Versamark (#102283)

Before I share the supply list (thanks in advance for supporting my business- I look forward to sending you a thank you card!), here is the video tutorial showing how to create this delightful “hidden message TV” card…craft along and pause as needed:

New at SU! – Trucking Along with Sunny Thoughts

July 19, 2023July 20, 20238 Comments

Did you know there are products online that aren’t in the Stampin’ Up! catalog? The New at SU! Design Team wants to make sure you know how AWESOME our Online Exclusive products are!

Occasionally we get a product that we know will be a runaway hit…and the Trucking Along Bundle was one of those which sold out the first stock in just a few days, then AGAIN just this week you snagged up all the punches we had in the Utah warehouse! The stamp set is still available in the U.S. market, and the TRUCK BUILDER PUNCH has been reordered (though it’s coming from overseas, so it may take up to 90 days…). Thanks for being patient while we restock.

The photopolymer stamp set + coordinating punch covers everything from Summer to Christmas, and really delivers crafting happiness:

For my card, I used an inch and a half of a paper straw glued to the back of the truck and slightly flattened out (which is why it has to be paper, and really a much better use for a paper straw than drinking….) to slide along the linen thread! You may want to use two layers of Thick Basic White card stock to make the truck heavy enough to slide easily, or use a mini glue dot to attach a penny to the back of the truck.

The pickup is packed for a beach adventure and the sun is radiating! You’ll have a load of fun making it slide back and forth along the linen twine. I’d love to hear your thoughts about this card!

While some products will stay a while in the Online Exclusive section of our Stampin’ Store, some may be LIMITED to the supply on hand, and supplies in each market may vary. New Online Exclusive products will be introduced in MARCH, JULY and NOVEMBER. You’ll want to visit all the other posts in the July New at SU! Blog Hop and **SAVE** your favorites to CASE (copy) later!

New at SU!- Level Complete Pull-Tab Flip Card

June 21, 2023June 20, 20239 Comments

Zelda is a big deal for my granddaughter, so when the June “New at SU!” blog hop theme was Kid’s Cards, I thought maybe someone else has kids playing video games this summer. The new LEVEL COMPLETE stamp set is great for the young, and young-at-heart!

I wanted this to be an interactive card, as gamers love to “play” and fidget, and this one flips open when the tab is pulled on the right:

I saw Aubrey (of the Stampin’ Jill team) create a Pull-Tab Flip Card last week, I wanted to put my own spin on it!

To make it easy to assemble, here are the measurements (supply list at bottom of post), then you can watch either or both videos to put it together (my pieces are different sizes than Aubrey’s, as my card pulls from the right and hers from the bottom) :

Card base: 4-1/2″ x 5-1/2″

First layer: 3-3/4″ x 5″, cut the smallest banner from the Stylish Shapes dies about 1/3 in from the left side for the mechanism to slide through before attaching to card base with dimensionals in each corner.

Mechanism: 1-1/2″ x 7″, scored at 4-7/8″ and 5-1/4″

Flip Layer: 2-3/4″ x 4-1/2″. Adhere this to the 3/8″ piece only, under the left edge of the layer.

Inside layers (2): 2-1/4″ x 3-1/2″

TIP: Use strong adhesive, such as Stampin’ Seal+ or Tear & Tape because this card will be tugged and pulled over and over again!

Give this card a try- it comes together quickly when you have all the pieces cut and ready! If you can’t make it today, PIN it/save it for later and I’d love to see your version.

Off you pop to one of the other kid-friendly card ideas around the world:

Christmas Choo-Choo Card + October Announcements

October 4, 2022October 4, 2022Leave a comment

This week’s TGIF Challenge #tgifc388 was a tricky one indeed! A card WITHOUT a sentiment?! Who does that?

I couldn’t even wrap my head around it, until I found a loophole: No sentiment…on the FRONT.

Inspired by a project my friend Sue designed for our Fall StampFest, I pulled out the SANTA EXPRESS suite and die cut images from the Designer Series Paper to follow my “train” of thought:

See? No sentiment! Even the signpost has stars instead of words.

But untie the top and extend it out and the rest of the idea follows:

NOW we are cooking with coal! Isn’t that adorable? The only thing I did stamp was the sentiment, then punched it out with the Label Me Lovely punch and attached them all with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Some folks like to create cards without a sentiment on the front so they may add the appropriate words when they need to use it. For me, it’s like singing a familiar song and STOPPING just before the last word! The suspense just *hangs* in the air until the final note is sung.

Hopefully, this card meets the requirements AND finishes the last note, once opened. I’ve listed the supplies after the announcements.
