Ice Cream, Adhesive Sheets and Last Chance Sale

Leave a comment

When you have the right tools, any project becomes easier.

Adhesive sheets are a type of double-sided adhesive that make any piece of paper into a sticker, and they are indispensable for a project like PAPER PIECING. The Ice Cream Swirl dies are a perfect example of how you can create sweet cards to drool over, using adhesive sheets:

Start with a 5.5″ x 6.75″ card base (scored at 4.25″) and “build” layers with Designer Series Paper. The Lighter Than Air designs have creamy colors that I used to cut 3 swirls from, then built up my lemon-raspberry ice cream swirl. This is a card you’ll want to make triplets of at one time, just to use up all the pieces:

Today (April 9th) is the last day to register for my Crafting Happiness class on Friday, April 19th, where I’ll be featuring the Ice Cream Swirl Bundle (and you get a discount on the class if you purchase the bundle from my store)- OR you can use one of the stamp & die bundles you may already have.

A Card for a Christmas Carol

Leave a comment

Do you have a favorite Christmas Carol or holiday tune? Mine is this one:

The TGIF Challenge #448 from Friday was to create a card inspired by a beloved piece of seasonal music~

I used “Come Lord Jesus” to create a card that could also be displayed as part of the true meaning of CHRISTmas:

While I had prepared this card to demonstrate showing how to use the Night Divine bundle with different Designer Series Paper (since the coordinating “O Holy Night” paper is sold out), sometime over the weekend, the “Joy of Christmas” Designer Series Paper that I used ALSO sold out during the Last Chance Sale…

THUS, I pivoted at the last minute and used patterns from the Joyful Specialty Designer Series Paper to demonstrate in my live video:

Card measurements:

Card base: 4.25″ x 11″, scored at 2, 3-3/8″, 7-5/8″ and 9″ along the long side.

Designer Series Paper for outside panels: Two pieces 4″ x 1-3/4″, (optional: two pieces 1-1/4″ x 4″ for the middle side panels, if you want it to pull all the way out).

Card stock for center (and/or back panel): 4″ square

If you were able to order the O Holy Night, I did make a version using that paper as well as an example:

I have two 6″x6″ Paper Shares left that have a sample of EVERY Designer Series Paper from the Sept-Dec mini catalog (EXCEPT the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper which sold out too fast). It is discounted to $25 (pick up) or you can pay shipping to you…first come, first served! Each pack DOES have a 6″ x 6″ piece of ALL the patterned papers on these nativity cards.

Thank you for allowing me to fuel your creativity! Here are the supplies used in the video:

Retirement Parade: So Long, Sweet Peach!

1 Comment

The New at SU! Design Team is bringing you a POP-UP PARADE featuring some of the products we have loved and are sad to see leave as the Retiring List for the Annual Catalog has been released. These items are only while supplies last, so don’t miss your opportunity to order them!

I chose to spotlight my beloved Sweet as a Peach Suite. The Designer Series Paper! The Stamps! The Dies! They have inspired so much creativity in my studio and this is actually the pop-up birthday card I made and sent my team members over the past 12 months:

It opens up to an EXPLOSION of peaches and birthday wishes:

It’s easy to make this explosion insert: Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 6″ x 6″ and fold in half, then open it up and fold it in half DIAGONALLY in the opposite direction. Unfold it again, tuck the diagonal folds inside and glue the square pieces on the outside of the mechanism to the inside of the card. TIP: Observe the direction of your patterned paper and insert it into your card with the patterns going the right direction.

The best way it fits in your card is by making a binding on the top (or side, depending on orientation) of your card. For this card, I used a piece of 11″ x 4-1/4″ card stock scored at 5-1/2″ and 6-1/2″, then tied that shut with a piece of linen twine, with the second score on the top side of your card to help it open well. It makes the opening smaller than a traditional card and the explosion piece fits nicely inside.

The Sweet as a Peach Bundle (stamps + dies) is on sale through March 21st for 20% off in the Savings are In Bloom sale (along with the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine that the dies fit in), so now is the time to collect it for your craft stash! Retiring items are only while supplies last.

You are now ready to travel through the rest of the Retirement Parade! Hop through all the gorgeous retiring product projects below ~ you won’t want to miss any of the other “last chance” products we’ve loved and collect the fabulous ideas shared!

BUNDLES & SPECIALTY ITEMS


Did you know that Bundles of stamps and punches or dies are available at a 10% discount? Here’s an important tip! If you love the coordination of stamps and tools then don’t miss saving 10%, because all bundles in the current Mini catalogs will retire and take the 10% savings with them. Some of the stamps, dies, and punches will still be available in future catalogs, but not as bundles, so the 10% savings ends. Bundles, because they include more than stamps are only available while supplies last, so you won’t want to wait to get your bundles ordered.

Last Chance Sale

Leave a comment

Stampin’ Up! has just released the list of retiring products and many Last Chance Products are on sale!

In Colors: All 2019-2021 In Color inks, paper, and embellishments are retiring. These items usually sell out quickly (some are already gone!) so don’t forget to add ink refills, accessories and extra card stock in your favorite colors to your craft stash.

Stamps vs. Accessories: Retiring stamps are available through April 23rd. All other retiring items such as; bundles, paper, embellishments, dies are only available while supplies last! Some are discounted up to 75% so don’t hesitate to get your favorites ordered.

Some beloved crafting *essentials* you may want to snag before they are gone are the Stitched Shape dies and circle punches…I am mourning their retirement, and won’t be selling mine in my BOGO sale during my New Catalog Reception because I use them all the time.

Bundles: Bundles (with their 10% savings) all retire! Even if the bundle items carry over to the next catalog, the discount does not… so save on bundles while you can. Bundles are only available while supplies last.

ORDERING TIP: Your best bet for grabbing items before they sell out is to order online!

Host Rewards: Exclusive Host Reward stamp sets also retire. If your order qualifies for host rewards, you may want to select those stamps. You may also apply your Host Rewards to the cost of your Starter Kit.

DID YOU KNOW: When you purchase the Stampin’ Up! Starter Kit between April 1 and May 3 you get early access to add new 2021-2022 Annual Catalog preorder items in your Starter Kit? Ask me for details!
