I sure had fun this weekend with this new paper!
I think I stopped at 8 or 9 cards and so I had to divide it up into 2 videos. I’ll post part two next Saturday.

I ended up buying the dies to go with the Storybook paper because of the frames.
The wedding card above was easy to antique the frames with Blends alcohol markers.
The card below on the left is an easel card (see video)

If you only want a little bit of storybook, consider getting just the designer paper!
Two sheets of die cut characters to play with including the other patterned 12×12 designs.

This week I put some ink to a new bundle called Umbrella Days. It’s a sweet set for encouragement or thanking someone who has been there for you during the hard times.
Some of you are still working on your holiday cards, I know I still am!
This is an easy layout to use with designer paper or easy elements like the designer paper, A Little Bit Festive. The right photo below is the back of the card, a place to sign and write a note if needed.
The arched window die came from the Garden Meadow bundle but if you don’t have that one, just wait til January when a new arch die set will be coming out!

We are almost back to normal around our little NC town, roads opening up and grocery stores getting stock in. We still have to boil our water but so many still don’t have power so we are grateful that we do.

Remember I used the Book Treat Boxes a few weeks ago? I was waiting for the Sophisticated Sled bundle to come back so I could post this one! It was so relaxing to put together this little shadowbox winter scene!
Here is my video – it’s a little longer this week because it’s a more involved project but so worth making one:

I highly recommend these little boxes – so much fun!
They come in a pack of 10 boxes for $10 #164048

I love an ‘old school’ fun fold but with new papers!
This fold takes a little bit more cardstock but so versatile.
I used 3 new designer papers and accessories in 3 different orientations:

When SU acquired Close to My Heart, a wonderful new world of products and kits arrived!
Even if you don’t scrapbook the traditional way, you may want to check out the 2-Toned 12×12 Cardstock or some of the Kits (see a video here). I’ll order the cardstock, which is a bit lighter in weight and has a white core (remember Cor’dinations? Maybe it is like that)
This new brochure will be available for ordering on September 4th also!

One of the new bundles released this month is called Frosted Forest.
I do love trees and even though I have a few tree sets already, I grabbed this one because of the masks that coordinate with it:

Frosted Forest Bundle with stamps/dies and set of 6 masks
#164137 $64.75 or just the masks for $15

This was an experiment on watercolor paper using one of the masks to create a watercolor background. (see my video for how I did that) . There is dimension that doesn’t really show up but it’s cool in person.
I used the Radiating Stitches die around the edges only to find out as I’m typing this up that they are retired now.
I’m sure you will find something close to work well also!

Snow capped pine tree – my favorite!


Just 4 days for Bonus Days and $5 coupons for every $50 order!
Bonus days end July 31st!

Before I get in to this week’s video and projects, Stampin’ Up has surprised with FREE shipping for one day, TUESDAY July 23rd, on orders of $75 or more!
Sometimes we all need a little jump start to creativity! One new addition to the annual catalog is a page with card sketches. They are SO useful as a jumping off point when you sit down to make a card. How many times have you needed a card idea only to disappear for an hour online to find an idea? (yes, I can raise my hand on this one too)
On page 22 at the bottom of the page, there are 22 sketches. (did they plan that? 22 sketches on page 22?) Anyway, this week I used 2 sketches with 2 different ideas each.

Here is my video:

I paired up the border dies with Cheerful Daisies, an annual catalog bundle, and it’s carrying over to the new catalog! They won’t be a bundled price in the new catalog so if you are considering them, grab them while you can save $6.

This pretty designer paper will be retiring. It’s called Fresh As A Daisy, 12 x 12, and I used this sheet to make the card below. No stamping needed except for the sentiment. I didn’t use the border dies on this one but I liked it so wanted to share:


Well, a little stamping on the inside of the card:) The sentiment is from a stamp set not in a catalog called Comforting thoughts. It says what is hard to say when someone has cancer or is sick.
COMFORTING THOUGHTS #163691 $20


I’ll be back here on Tuesday for the big sale!
With 2 catalogs retiring, there are a lot of items on the last chance list!
