December Stamp of the Month Woven Heirlooms

Wonder what the Stamp of the Month Kit is?  If you have ever purchased stamps and accessories and then didn’t know what to do with them when you received them, I have the solution.  You purchase the kit, and I will send you the products 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, ink and stamped images (per Stampin' Up rules), 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 three projects will be included in your kit!

Plus I will include additional samples that you can use to create even more cards and projects!!

 

This month I am offering the Woven Heirlooms Bundle

Delightful Tag Topper Treat Holder

I have met SO many wonderful friends in my 12 years of being a Stampin' Up Demonstrator

And we always look forward to seeing each other at our Stampin' Up Events

This weekend in Portland at #OnStage2019, I was able to see and visit with many of these lovely ladies

And, of course it's fun to present them with a little gift!

I found these fun little treat holders on Pootles blog

I followed her video here

These will holder special treats and I decided to give my friends a Burt's Bees Lip Balm!

They fit in perfectly

The "treat" holder has a square bottom and the top actually stays together very well!

And they only take a 6" x 4" piece of designer series paper- you can six from one sheet!!

Here's a little picture tutorial

Cut and score your DSP  6" x 4"

Place the 6" side into your scoring board and score at 7/8"

Turn on the 4" side and score at 1/2" and 2 1/4"

then score at 1 3/8" and 3 1/8" JUST DOWN TO THE 7/8" mark

Now cut on the score lines up to the 7/8" mark, cutting out the little rectangle and mitering the corners on the tab

Add Tear & Tape to the tab and fold over

Use the Delightful Tag Topper Punch and punch out the top

Adhere the bottom flaps with Tear & Tape to close up the bottom

Pootles (Sam Hammond) explains this very well in her video!  I highly recommend watching it!

Today is On Stage in Portland

Today is On Stage in Portland

I'm not sure how much I will have time to share, but check out my Facebook Business Page here

I will do my best to share

We will be receiving the 2020 Occasions Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Catalog

OH MY

One of the things we do at our events is swap cards.

I get SO many wonderful ideas

Here's my second swap

Look familiar?  Probably not because it's from the new catalog coming soon to your mail box!!

It's called Timeless Tulips and comes with a bundled Tulips Builder Punch

You are going to absolutely LOVE it.

Why do I have it early?  I'm going to introduce it to our attendees today!!  

Yes, I was asked to present at On Stage!!

If you hear some fast heart beats - well, I'm very nervous!!

More later about that!

I did a watercolor wash for the background in Bermuda Bay.  I squeezed some ink in the top of my ink pad and used an Aqua Painter and 

"washed" the background!

NOTE the sentiment - I used the Tulip Builder Punch to cut out the sentiment!!

Bermuda Bay Card Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Purple Posy Ink Pad Information

As you might know, the Purple Posy Ink Pad has had problems

This is the announcement Stampin' Up made last week

 

Purple Posy Ink To Be Discontinued

Despite our efforts to resolve issues with Purple Posy ink, we have learned that the ink color is still shifting over time. This means that the color is coordinating more loosely than we typically allow with our colors. Due to these ongoing challenges, we have decided to discontinue Purple Posy classic ink. As of November 5, 2019, the following items will no longer be available to purchase:

• Purple Posy Classic Stampin’ Pad (item 150084)
• Purple Posy Classic Stampin’ Ink Refill (item 150091)
• 2019–2021 In Color Classic Stampin’ Pad Assortment (item 150087)

We are unable to replace Purple Posy ink pads for customers or demonstrators who have already received them. However, anyone with concerns regarding the color shifting properties of their Purple Posy ink pads may contact Demonstrator Support and we can offer a $7.50 usd/$10.25 cad coupon code as compensation. The coupon codes will expire on January 1, 2020.

 

So.....if you would like to have be reimbursed for your Purple Posy pad, you have until January 1st to call Stampin' Up (800-STAMPUP)

They will send you a coupon to use on anything

You can still use the Stampin' Write Markers and the Stampin' Blends for coordination

Contact me if you would like more information!

 

 

 

No Waste Technique - Club Demonstration

I love sharing cool techniques with my club members and if it means saving on anything, that's even better

Stesha who I believe is from Germany shared this great idea

Here's the cards I shared in class

You plan ahead and make TWO cards using the die cut and the negative of the die

The card on the left uses the die cut 

The one on the right uses the "negative" of the die cut

I did use Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the Shaded Spruce - really gives it dimension!!

Two totally different looking cards!!

By placing your cut in the center of the card stock, you make another piece for the 2nd card

Check back over the next few days and I'll share the other samples I made using this technique

Measurements

Shaded Spruce Card Base 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"

Casing a Card - Christmas Gleaming

A good friend and fellow demonstrator from Canada made this card and shared it on her blog

I just fell in LOVE with it 

Thanks Dayanna for the inspiration!!

This is a "fun fold" card and I LOVE how she did it

Measurements

Mossy Meadow Card Base 6 1/2" x 5 1/2" (scored at 5 1/2"

Front Panel:  Copper Foil Sheets 5 1/4" x 2 1/4"

Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper 5" x 2"

Inside:  Very Vanilla 5 1/4" X 4"

Copper Foil Sheets 5 1/4" x 1 3/4"

"Fun Fold" piece 6" x 4" (scored at 3")

Very Vanilla 3 3/4" X 2 3/4"

I added the fun fold part under the Very Vanilla inside sheet before attaching to the inside of the card

I used the Copper Foil Sheets for the ornaments - ran a piece of Copper Foil Sheet through the Tin Tile Embossing Folder and then cut out the ornaments

The inside sentiment is stamped with the Copper Delicata Ink

Beautiful!!

So Many Stars Bundle

I didn't purchase the So Many Stars Bundle in the 2019 Holiday Catalog at first

Then my friend, Linda, made a card and I just HAD to have it.

Finally getting around to using it and came up with this card

I hope you like it

You can't really see the dimension on the front, but I cut out the star with the 3rd from largest star die and then stamped the star with VersaMark ink and heat

embossed with Copper Embossing Powder and then cut it out with the coordinating star die.

  I then used Stampin' Dimensionals and raised up the designer series paper!

In real life, it's really neat!!
