Before my post, just a reminder to sign up for my paper, ribbon and accessories shares for the new catalog that begins Aug 3rd!
If you missed that post, here is the link to read all about it! (it will open in a new tab)
It was SO hot here in the mountains this week so I cooled off with some winter cards. With the upcoming release of the new Holiday catalog August 3rd, I’ve been starting to feel a little bit nostalgic for snowy pine cones and egg nog. I’m always ready for eggnog, even in August:) This week I used a new bundle called Christmas to Remember. It’s on page 19 of the upcoming Holiday mini catalog.
Here is the video below and below the video is the link to my Recipe PDF if you’d like to print it
This one might be my favorite! Coloring just the white cardstock with my Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers.
I layered onto Pool Party Cardstock and that went on a thick white card. You can use a sponge dauber and ink pad, watch my tip for how to spread the ink evenly.I love a striped ribbon and there’s a new one in pool party in the new mini catalog.
A little rustic with the Espresso/soft suede pine cones and dark spruce pine needles but adding some of the brushed gold in the label makes it feel a little more festive.
One of my favorite color combos for the winter is Bermuda Bay, White & Silver.
It just feels crisp and cool.
I will update the shopping links on Aug 3rd when this new bundle goes live for ordering!
For now, here are some of the Stampin’ Up products used for my 3 cards:

If you are new to product shares, here is how they work:
A product share basically means you will get a sample of the new designer papers, ribbons and accessories by sharing it with others. For example, I’ll cut the paper into 6×6 pieces to share it with 8 people, so you get one 6×6 sheet of each paper rather than having to buy a whole pack. . The ribbons I divide between 5 people and accessories are divided also.
I’ll order first thing on August 3rd when the catalog begins. It takes approx 2-3 weeks after I order to receive your shares in the mail.
I’ve done shares for over 12 years and always fill orders very fast! It’s really a fun way to try out new products and enjoy creating!
This week I had a request from Barbara who said
“how can I made the cute shaker card on page 4 of the new Sale a Bration catalog?
I don’t have a die cutting machine”
In the Stampin’ Up Holiday catalog, there are new shaker domes called Cloche Shaker Domes. There are also a few new stamp sets that coordinate with them, one for sweets and the other a winter set.
(Both the Holiday catalog and Sale-a-Bration start August 3rd!)
So the challenge for many who are just stepping in to stamping and do not have a die cutting machine yet, how to use the domes without the dies? Or maybe you don’t want the whole bundle but love the Dome shakers.
Here is a work around….the dies are much easier and perfectly cut out BUT in a pinch, it can work!
The Penguin Playmates designer paper will be free with a $50 order beginning Aug 3rd! It’s really cute and some of the images coordinate with the Penguin builder punch. Easy to fussy cut the rest like I did on the inside of the card here.
I’ll be back on Monday with my Holiday Product Shares I’ll be offering! Til Then, Go Stamp Something!
I wish you could really see all the sparkle!
Faux Silk has been around for ages, way longer than my 20 years of stamping.
It’s an easy technique and I just added a little shimmer to add a little somethin’ somethin:)
Click on the video below to view how it’s done and let me know if you give it a try!
Stamping on the tissue paper gave it a softer effect. You can leave it there or add the Wink Of Stella with a sponge or brush and try my tip of using some alcohol to move it around!
I really love how the tissue paper tones down the designer paper!
The NEW Holiday Catalog and Sale a Bration catalogs should be arriving to you by the 3rd week of JULY! If you are new here and would like a copy, email me at LInda@stampingschool.com
Just popping in for a SSA (stamping service announcement:)
The Expressions in Ink 12 x 12Specialty Designer Paper is back in stock!
Everyone has been waiting patiently for it and so happy to see it again!

This week I played around with an interactive die called Give it a Whirl!
It’s quite easy to use but of course I had to make it harder by going in landscape position but I really like how it came out.
In my video I show some ways to make it spin better and also a bonus card as a gift card holder…
I was wrong in my video, the dies are not paired with or bundled with the Stellar Birthday – they are just shown in use on that page.
I think the dies are perfect on their own of course for a variety of cards!
I say I don’t need more Designer Series Paper but who am I kidding?
Especially when it’s on sale AND it’s the most popular designs…
They surprised me this year, I thought it would be the usual buy 3 get one free BUT this sale is better!
15% off of 9 different styles
The new HOLIDAY catalog will arrive to my customers who have ordered with me in the last 6 months. If you are new here, drop me an email Linda@stampingschool.com with your US address to request one.
Those that want to join (or return) to SU as a discount shopper or as a demonstrator to share/teach stamping, July is a great time!
You can add anything from the annual or the holiday catalog early to your starter kit!
It’s still $99 plus tax, free shipping and you can select $125 in products of your choice.
Get in touch with me if you want to chat about it!
And yes! I will be doing Holiday catalog Shares!
I’ll be posting those mid July!
Hi all! I’m taking some time off this weekend from videos, I’ll be back next week with one. It’s been quite a week and adding on to it, my laptop died. So thankfully I have my smart phone to post some inspiration for you! (All photos taken from my phone in my kitchen, so I hope they look ok)
As all card makers know, it’s so fun to open the mailbox and find a handmade card in there! It makes the whole day better, right? I hope you find a layout or a card you want to try!
This was made by Debbie Hileman, a talented stamper on my team. She used that juicy designer paper, You’re a Peach. I love the vertical watercolor stripes in the background from the paper, too.
This one was created by Jackie Walker, a great stamper on my team. What I love is the layout, that works with any designer paper! Jackie used the In Good Taste designer series paper, which carried over from last year’s annual catalog.
BY THE WAY, since we are talking about designer papers today, there will be a sale starting JULY 1st! I’ll post the details then.
Summer is just another word for Ice cream, right? Favorite flavor? Gotta be mint chocolate chip, Breyers if I’m picky, which I’m rarely not when it comes to ice cream. This one was made by Janet Munden, one of my team in Clermont FL. I love how she moved the ice cream to the edge so it looks almost scalloped. Looks like she cut an inch off the front of the card so it could stick out. The ice cream bundle carried over to our new annual catalog but the paper is gone sadly.
I adore this card! This was made by Debra Lynn, a stamper on our team in Orlando. She used strips of all the new In Color cardstock AND she used the coordinating marker and a ruler to add the skinny lines, which really makes it special!
This was made by Cindy Brumbaugh, a talented stamper on my team. She loves birds like I do and used the Garden Birdhouses stamp set from the annual catalog. I love how she stamped the background in crumb cake ink on crumbcake card stock. Sometimes we think we have to emboss or add designer paper, but we can use stamps as the background like this!
This one was sent to me by a special lady, Bev, who’s cards are fabulous. I couldn’t stop looking at this slimline card and ALL the work that went into it. Look at the stitching…I’ll keep it forever:)
I really like a gate fold and this one is an offset gate fold by Janet Munden. She used the Beauty of the Earth designer paper and made a type of closure with the sentiment. Looks striking on the navy card base, too.
This pretty card was created by Connie Hobbs and my favorite thing is how she added color to the vellum doily to coordinate with the Freesia paper. The Hand Penned designer paper must be the top selling paper, it’s so popular!
I love it when customers send me a card! It means they love making cards and are using the stuff they are ordering! Cristy stamped her blooms in a pretty coral and yellow color scheme and added that sweet heart as the sentiment. She added those green enamel dots to coordinate with the card base, pulling it all together.
My friend Janis sent me this one, I love the patriotic theme and seashells! Clever to pair them together!
Jackie created this elegant easel card using the Simply Elegant designer paper! This is the front and then on the inside, it folds to the easel:
Completely not card related…. This little guy was given to me by a friend in the neighborhood. I was at her home, saw him sitting on a table with his little legs dangling off. I just loved him and a few days later, he was wrapped up and on my doorstep. He means the world to me and greets me every morning when I make my morning coffee. Those little wooden shoes make me smile every time!
