Video: Waterfall Fold with 4 gift cards

One of my talented team members, Debbi Muche, showed me a waterfall card used to hold gift cards!  Super fun idea and so I created two today!   Here is my video to see it in ‘action’ :

I also made a birthday version using the new Hobby Haven paper!
I have a friend who loves coffee, plants and books so this designer paper was a perfect fit.

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!

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.

Video: Bye Bye Basic Borders Dies

Basic Borders  #155558  $29

Hi all!  This week I’m using one of my favorite die sets, Basic Borders!
It’s retiring soon, while supplies last,  AND they will be on sale on April 9th if they are still available!
If you don’t already have some practical border dies, these will be marked down to  $17.40!

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.

Cheerful Daisies Bundle $53  #161297

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!
Sales Period:  April 9 – 30, 2024

Video: Grid Layers

Hi all!

I’ve got an easy layout this week!
Not necessarily a new technique to use 1/4″ strips to add a little extra somethin’ without heavy layers.

VIEW/PRINT RECIPE PDF WITH MEASUREMENTS HERE

This layout uses a thick white card base and strips plus adding the designer paper pieces so the card is lightweight!
I used Playing in the Rain bundle along with the Bright & Beautiful 6×6 paper

For this landscape version, I used the Fresh As a Daisy paper along with Sending Smiles.

This is an easy fold for a front pocket gift card and the apple just seemed perfect for a Teacher thank you!

(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!
