Stampin' Up Thinlits Labels Die - Another Birthday Card

Just LOVE how this card turned out - my favorite color is purple/lavender and any shades between!!  So this card just suited me - maybe I'll give it to myself for my birthday????  No I don't give myself cards - silly me!!

So it will have to saved for someone special, eh?

For this card I added an extra panel - how to do that?  Really easy.  If you want it to come together in the center, instead of cutting your card stock 6" x 5 1/2", you will add 2" to the 6" side - so 8" x 5 1/2".  I cut the card stock and then added my piece of designer series paper cut 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" I lined it up on the 6" mark - adhered the three sides.

Then.....to keep it from being cut off (ask me how i KNOW), you add the card to the framelit and pull the extra 2" piece up through, so it doesn't get cut off - yep I forgot the first time and cut off that extra piece.

 

Here's some pictures, so you get the idea!

After you run it through the Big Shot, you will need to score at the 2" mark and fold valley to meet the center. 

The just embellish your card!!  On the finished one, can you see the little scallops - I used the new Rotary Trimmer with the Scallop Blade to cut it!!  Fun, fun. 

Then I ran both sides through the Big Shot with the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder!!  I think it finishes off the card beautifully!!

Stamp Sets:  Apothecary Art (138415 W, 125527 C, page 107); Bring on the Cake (128490 W, 121958 C, page 14)

Card Stock:  Wisteria Wonder, Very Vanilla, Afternoon Picnic (131390, page 151)

Ink:  Wisteria Wonder

Embellishment:  Basic Rhinestones (119246, page 171)

Big Shot:  Thinlits Labels Dies (133479); Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder (132174, page 22 Holiday Catalog)

September Stamp of the Month Club

Time again for the Stamp of the Month Club - I actually had quite a time deciding what to do this month - should I go with holiday sets/cards?  Or stay with the regular catalog and do holiday next month. That's what I decided, because once I get started with the holiday catalog.......well.....I just can't stop!!

So this month we are going with the set Six-Sided Sampler - I fell for this set as soon as I was able to see the catalog - have had lots of fun using it!  It coordinates beautiful with the new Hexagon Punch

and we will add the Hexagon Punch

Epic This and That Washi Tape

and the fun Subtles Candy Dots

All of these items for just $40 PLUS you will receive product and instructions to make three projects!!  Purchased separately, these items would total $45.80 plus shipping of $4.58 and you will get them all for just $40 plus my shipping to you of $5.70

Six-Sided Sampler Stamp Set $18.95

Hexagon Punch $15.95

Epic Day This and That Washi Tape 4.95

Subtles Candy Dots $5.95

 

Wonder what the Stamp of the Month Club is?  If you have ever purchased stamp and accessories and then didn’t know what to do with them when you get them, I have the solution.  You purchase the kit (at a little bit of a discount), and I will send you the kit and three projects to do up immediately.  The kit includes the stamp set and whatever else I choose in making the card kits.  I don’t include
adhesives or ink and you can substitute what you have.  These projects are fun and easy to do.  I will send you a pdf file by email with the instructions and pictures for each project and the actual product to make the projects.  Plus I will include additional samples that you can use to create even more cards and projects!!

Options:

1.  If you prefer wood mount, just add $6.00

2.  If you already have this stamp set and/or punch, you can choose another one of equal value (Stamp Set $18.95, Punch $15.95)  The projects you receive will be for this set. 

 

Sign up for six months and I will ship your kit free.  Otherwise it will be $5.70 priority shipping

You can pay by visa/mastercard/discover – call, text or email me your cc numbers (541-390-3390)

I can also send you a paypal invoice.

I will be placing the order on September 2nd, so let me know by then if you would like to participate – and feel free to email with any questions!! 

 

And here is one project we will be making this month

Thinlits Dies - they arrived!

Yes, I finally got my Thinlits Dies - oh these are FUN and SO easy to do.  I had fun whipping out a couple tonight while waiting for some of our kids to arrive!

These are brand new (available August 1st.).  We saw them demonstrated at the Stampin' Up Convention and couldn't wait until they were available!! 

YOU can see by the picture above that they are "interactive" cards.  What fun!  And SO easy to use.  But not only do they come with the "thinlit" to cut out the card VERY quickly, they also come with lots of other fun parts and pieces

Thinlits Circles

Isn't that just the coolest?

And here's the Thinlits Labels

Just so you know these are easy peasy to use.  What it entails is cutting a piece of card stock 6" x 5 1/2" and laying the thinlit on and running it through the Big Shot (preferably on your Magnetic Platform).  That's totally IT!!  And you have this cool card that is "interactive". 

Here are some I have made and I'll be sharing more in the next couple of days!  Yes, I'm going crazy with them. 

 

This is the front

and here it is open

Isn't that just SO neat?  With this card I used Designer Series Paper and I truly don't recommend it, because it's a bit thin and won't stand up really well.  So, I will share how to add DSP to your card stock and make a much more "stable" card.

Stamp Sets:  Festive Flurry (131778 W, 131781 C, page 30 Holiday Catalog),  Snow Soiree (127922 W, 127925 C)

Card Stock:  Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Silver Glimmer (124005, page 156)

Ink:  Coastal Cabana

Embellishments:  Frosted Finishes Embellishments (132150, page 28 Holiday Catalog)

Big Shot:  Thinlits Circle Dies (133480); Festive Flurries Framelits (132193, page 30 Holiday Catalog)

And Here's another one

Front View

 

Open

With this one, I covered the Basic Black Card Stock with Modern Medley Designer Series Paper and cut it at the same time I cut out the card.  TIP:  When you adhere the DSP to the card stock, be sure and only use adhesive on three sides - not the interior sides, as these will be cut and need to be loose to be taken out of the cut.  Clear as mud?  You'll see what I mean when you do it. 

For this card I completely covered the front of the card stock - in other cards, I left a frame and I'll give you all those measurements

Stamp Set:  Lots of Thanks (129687 W, 129690 C, p[age 29)

Card Stock:  Basic Black, Whisper White, Modern Medley Designer Series Paper (126926, page 154)

Ink:  Basic Black

Big Shot:  Thinlits Labels Collection (133479)

To add DSP to the front of each side, you will cut the left side 5 1/2" x 2 1/8" and for the ride side 5 1/2" x 2 15/16".  I will be sharing more cards and will give you the dimensions for them later.

and here's one more

I left this one plain on the inside

Stamp Set:  Fabulous Phrases (128577 W, 120501 C, page 70)

Card Stock:  Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Afternoon Picnic (131390, page 151)

Ink:  Coastal Cabana

Embellishment:  Basic Pearls (119247, page 171)

Big Shot:  Thinlits Labels (133479), Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (117335, page 191)

I ran the front left of the card through the Big Shot in the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder after cutting it out.  I think it matches SO well with the beautiful Coastal Cabana polka dots from Afternoon Picnic DSP.  The sentiment is stamped and them cut out with the little framed piece from the Thinlits Labels collection - I love how it looks

Check back tomorrow as I will have more samples!
