I’ve had quite a few of you purchase one or both of these Stampin’ Up flip card Dies so I thought I’m make a tip video for how to add layers as well as extend the card to create a flap and writing area. (I’m not sure who came up with that original idea to add the flap but well done!)
If you are viewing from your email, click HERE to see video on my blog.
I received many great swaps using the new thinlits and as promised in the video, here are a few of my favorites!
This cute little guy was a swap created by Jill Hilliard. The reindeer is from the SU Holiday catalog called Color Me Christmas
This pretty snowflake card was created by April Lopez. The scallop comes with the circle card thinlits and April used it with SU Silver Foil Sheets.
I wish there was a name written on the back, maybe Iina Lee? I think it had a cello envelope with her label on it, which is long gone!
I love getting a swap every year from Georgia Giguere, who puts her family photo inside! Use the Sizzix Circle framelits and the magnetic platform to make easy circles!
Everyone loves this cute owl punch card by Linda Gutierrez!
Sandy Hancock made this one and I love how she used the SU Stripes embossing folder on one side of the flip card.
Here is the extended version of the flip card I showed in the video. It’s by Sue Kempter-Miller.

The latest cool tool from Stampin’ Up is available starting today! It’s called the Envelope Punch board:
Watch Brian Pilling from Stampin’ Up score and punch envelopes. It’s easy and makes 66 sizes of envelopes!
I have one here in my stamp room but with my 2 eye surgeries, I’m not focused enough yet to try it out. This week I should get my hands on it and play! I was thinking I wouldn’t need it with my diagonal score board but this is much easier and I LOVE that it punches the notches out so nicely. It’s also more compact and with at least 66 sizes, that’s pretty cool!
Envelope Punch Board Item #133774 $19.95
More Details:
It creates totally customizable envelopes in up to 66 different sizes (not to mention a million different color and pattern options depending on the paper you want to use). Even tried and true envelope sizes will only take you moments to create!
It’s small and lightweight; this makes it easy for you to take it on the go! Portable and easy to store.
It even has a slick scoring tool as well as a punch that lets you create rounded corners on your envelopes.
It’s easy to keep it all together; the stylus storage compartment and two punches are designed into the tool so you don’t have a bunch of little pieces to keep track of (even the instructions are printed right on the tool so you won’t lose them!).
The price is terrific-especially for a tool that does so much!
It will be in next year’s annual catalog, so it’s here to stay.
Order by email, phone (866-460-4902)or online in my store at www.lindaheller.stampinup.net click on Shop Now. The item number should be active today after noon Utah Time.
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday and go stamp something!

As if the Holiday catalog wasn’t enough, Stampin’ Up has a few more surprises for you!
I’m over the top excited for these new THINLITS card dies! They’ve been called flip cards, flip flop cards, swing cards, and more-but they have always been a bit tricky to create. Not anymore! Our amazing new Thinlits Card Dies cut and score to create a card that flips in just one step. 2 sets to choose from, Label (on left below) and Circle, on right:
These new card dies come with extra die pieces that have versatile designs, so you can use them on other projects, not just flip cards. (The Circle Card Thinlits Die comes with 10 total pieces; the Label Card Thinlits Die comes with nine total pieces.)
Want to see it in action? I’m ordering mine today but SU has a video already for us!
Local stampers: Be sure to check out my class schedule as we will be using these at my classes in August! Email me to save you a spot! I’ll be adding Holiday Stamp a Stacks in Sept, October and November also.
Some love the convenience of having the surprise projects come in the mail every month. Some don’t like that they can’t see what is coming ahead of time! Advanced crafters will most likely think they are too simple while some love that they can just whip up a few things easily. It’s not for everyone but it’s worth a try and you can cancel the membership if you don’t like it.
My favorite ‘MUST HAVE’ from the new Stampin’ Up catalog! I have tested this thing and it really works!
It’s the newest platform for your Big Shot that is magnetic, so your framelits won’t move or slip around while you are trying to line them up and cut.
This will take the place of your regular platform JUST for the Framelits and Edgelits, not your sizzlets, embosslits or regular dies, which won’t fit through.
(side note: there is a warning label on the side about not using it if you have a pacemaker)
It’s pricey but totally worth it’s weight in magnets and staying power! $39.95 Item # 130658 Page 184 of the SU catalog.
I was just about to do a video for you but then SU beat me to it 🙂 Here is Brandi Barnard from the SU home office showing how it works:
Speaking of FRAMELITS….I just bought 2 of the newest sets in the SU catalog, Circles and Squares!
The largest size is 4-3/4″ for the circles and 4-3/8 for the squares.
A fellow demo, Michelle Halleen, shared the measurements on a group I’m on so I’ll repost them here since most want to know the sizes before you buy:
It’s finally September 1st and I’ve been just itching to post the Holiday Mini Catalog on my blog! I had great intentions to wake up at 2 am to write this post as soon as Stampin’ Up loaded all the documents for us. BUT I have a vicious cold and took some of that lovely nighttime medicine and that’s all I remember….until 8 am this morning!
If you are a customer of mine, you should have received a copy of the mini in your mailbox. If you didn’t, maybe it got lost, the mailman ate it or your address changed. Drop me a line and I have extras here on hand that I can mail to you.

Of course all the catalogs and supplies are always up on my Demonstrator Website 24/7! www.lindaheller.stampinup.net You can shop there online
What is my FAVORITE THING in the Holiday Mini? There are many wonderful things in there but ONE is a must have if you are a paper crafter. We have waited a long time for this beauty, our Simply Scored!
Here is what SU says about the Simply Scored:
“Take the chore out of scoring! The Simply Scored Scoring Tool’s base fits paper or card stock up to 12″ x 12″ and features score tracks every 1/8″. Features two easy-to-read rulers (with inch markings down to 1/8″) along top and left side for perfect scoring. (One standard left-to-right ruler and one zero center ruler.) Includes three markers and stylus. Bottom of base has non-marking and nonskid feet to secure it on your work areach Base measures Approximately
15-1/8″ x 13-1/4″ x 1”. 29.95 Item # 122334
I will be honest and say that I have compared it side by side, right next to the ‘martha’ brand scoring board. I wanted to see which one was better.
Here is my Stampbusters evaluation: M’s is white and to my eyes, harder to read the numbers. It has score lines at every 1/8″ just like ours. (which is SO important for all projects to have those increments). It has a storage area at the top end just like ours. It has numbers running down the side, just like ours, which should be mandatory on all of them! They both have a zero center ruler, which is helpful for some projects.
Here is where the differences start to come in. M’s has a triangle tool and we don’t. Not a huge deal, I can get a triangle tool ruler anywhere but it would have been nice to have it.
M’s has a plastic bone folder rather than a metal stylus like ours. (ours does come with the metal stylus it when you buy it) My first scoring board (called itself a pal but it wasn’t much of one with it’s ambiguous measurements) came with a plastic bone folder tool for scoring. After a few months of using it, it had worn away and created a big dent. We papercrafters do a lot of scoring so it has to hold up! The Simply Scored comes with a nice metal stylus, rubbery not slippery handle, and the ends have 2 sizes for your scoring needs.
The other advantage the Simply Scored has 3 place markers that come with it! I am loving these markers because it is easy to lose your place with so many little lines. Ever score a piece of card stock and realize you were off the track? Now I just leave one at the 4-1/4 and one at the 5-1/2 and it’s so easy to see. If I’m preparing a bunch of tri-fold cards, I can move the markers to those exact measurements and zip through a project!
If you are still scoring your projects on the old fiskars track with a butter knife or scoring blade, you just have to get one of these. No more lifting up the track each time you need to score one piece of paper.
If you are a member of Stamping School, I’ll be doing a video on my new favorite thing this weekend!
And by the way, some of you have been asking questions about the new Stamping School that will be going LIVE soon. Yes, we are hoping for a September release date and are in the testing stages now. Y’all are going to love it! Ipad and Iphone users will be able to watch all videos, too! I’ll keep you posted.
