The inside using the specialty vellum! I love the shiny snowfall on the vellum. The sentiment from the same snowman magic is perfect! I love the font mix.
These samples from the home office show the versatility of this cute bundle:
Morning! I’m coming in mid week to announce 2 sales! One is the September Weekly Deals, which are pretty good this week!
You can see all the deals HERE and my favorites are below
This gel-like enamel dries in an hour but I LOVE the red on berries!
You know I’m a huge fan of masking paper – see how to use it here in a video I did a while back
2nd Sale is the 15% off on ALL annual catalog stamps (excluding host items)
You can see them all HERE in the store or you can view/print a flyer HERE
Watch the math on the bundles – that is any stamp set that has a coordinating die or punch. Those are already 10% off each so it may not be worth it to split those up.
The flyer has page numbers to help see which stamps are on sale.
That’s it for today! I’ll be back with my weekly video on Saturday!
It all started with this beautiful card from Kathy Hendrey….
I took it out of the envelope, smiled (as we all do when we see a hand stamped card) and then said out loud “did she emboss this with TP?” I messaged Kathy and she said yes! Can you see the cool texture?
Had this been at the height of the pandemic and TP was scarce, I wouldn’t dream of making a card with it but now it is back on our shelves and we can even buy more than one package at a time! I remember seeing Carol Duvall do this as a stamping technique 20 years ago and was amazed back then. (If you google the REAL paper casting, those artists are fantastic!)
The embossing folder Kathy used is the Painted Posies and perfect for this technique.
Here’s my video trying it out on different surfaces, like stamps and the dies and embossing folders:
I tried blue, I tried pink and in the end, I chose brown!
My color scheme was inspired by a designer paper in our annual catalog, Abigail rose.
Why did it take me so long to use this pretty paper?
Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and a touch of Petal Pink….
It has similar artwork to the Fresh Cut Flowers stamp set so it paired up nicely!
The Fresh Cut Stems dies are a new, limited release from Stampin’ Up this month.
They are a nice companion to the stamp set!
#162519 $50.25 for the bundle or #160251 $34 if you already have the stamp set and need just the dies
Hi all! I usually do not post mid week but there is much to catch you up on!
I came back on Sunday from our Backstage Leadership Conference in New Orleans. It was a fantastic time seeing friends for the first time in a loooong time! Lots of great training with special speakers and of course, Stampin’ Up pampered us!
One of the friends I got to see what the other Linda Heller! She started 23 years ago (the same month and year as I did!) and we would never have known each other if it wasn’t for Stampin’ Up!
She lives in Washington and I’m in North Carolina

The coordinating dies will be available Sept 1st for $31 #160254
This is an easy fold for a front pocket gift card and the apple just seemed perfect for a Teacher thank you!
As Sale-A-Bration is nearing the end this month, Stampin’ Up has some new Dies coming September 1st!
(These will be for a limited time, while supplies last)
The 6 new die sets coordinate with current stamps sets.
I pre-ordered the Apple Blossom dies to go with the stamp set, Apple Harvest, which is perfect for living here in NC.
Our apple festival is coming up in 2 weeks!
Here is my video showing the dies and 3 alternate ideas using them:
I’ll be heading to New Orleans for a Stampin’ Up Leadership conference next week!
Should be a lot of fun but I’ll be scheduling the piggy video to post on Saturday while I’m gone:)
As soon as I saw this stamp set, I knew I had to create a spinner card with the helicpopter seed!
The 2nd thing I did was google ‘helipcopter seeds’ LOL
What colors do they come in? What trees produce them?
Maple Trees have a lot of these winged pods that twirl down to the ground.
They come in lots of colors:
This seed was my inspiration, I love the fresh green and pink color combo!
Wind it Up, close the card and when they open it up, it spins!
Watch my video to see it in action…
This week snowballed on me! It was a wonderful week but I over booked myself a bit. When I found a pocket of time to create a project and video to share, I stressed myself out and the creativity was not flowing. Then I remembered a few videos that the Stampin’ Up home office had posted recently that inspired me, so I thought they might inspire you also!
This one I’d like to try sometime this week. Painting the raisedembossed images and we have so many great embossing folders! Maybe the Seashells folder? (that folder is still free with a $50 order in August!) You can see that folder and the other freebies HERE
If it’s a tiny area, try using a blender pen!
so pretty! Here is their video, it’s a short one!
Let me know if you have tried it!
Another video I like is the No Line Watercolor Technique. I remember trying it a few years ago. It takes a little finesse, I admit I gave up too quickly and want to give it a try again!
Stamp your image in a very light color, like a light yellow or here they used Sahara Sand. You may have to stamp off once to make it very light! It’s best on watercolor paper, which helps to absorb the water and the paper won’t pill too much!
Stampin’ Up added a few more freebies for the remaining weeks of Sale a Bration! these are from the Annual catalog – Embossing folders are a great freebie!
Here are the new freebies from the annual catalog!
There are 4 sets of dies free with a $100 and I’ve linked the coordinating stamps that are available for purchase.
