A BUNNY WITH A FULL BASKET!

Posted on by

This little bun-bun has more eggs than she can manage, so she’s set them rolling across the front of my card – Easter is on the way!

  • Stamps: Easter Basket
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Petal Pink, Timid Tiger, Crumb Cake, Balmy Blue, Soft Sea Foam, Daffodil Delight
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Easter Basket dies (no longer available) , Stampin’ Blends, White Ribbon (retired), Stripes and Dots DSP (Demonstrator Exclusive) Stampin’ Dimensionals

This DSP is a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator exclusive – yes, we have perks! However, you can find an alternative. Our Color Family DSP packs deliver a similar tone-on-tone look. I layered a 1 1/2″ piece of Basic White card stock on the Timid Tiger Panel, then added the DSP above and below it. The lower piece of DSP is 1 1/4″, the upper piece is 1 3/4″

There are multiple bunnies in this set to add to the front, but the little chick is also adorable. This layout lends itself to different small images rolling through the middle!

I’m sorry to say that the Easter Basket dies have been discontinued. The stamps are still available, and the shapes aren’t difficult to fussy cut, so don’t be afraid to choose just the stamps!

WOOLLY FRIENDS MINUS THE SHEEP

Posted on by

Stampin’ Up! puts a lot of versatility into our stamp sets – check out this design using Woolly Friends. There isn’t a sheep in sight! When you mix and match stamps with one of our lush Designer Series Paper designs, the possibilities are endless.

  • Stamps: Woolly Friends, Fabulous Sayings (Product of the Month, no longer available)
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Memento Black, Cloud Cover, Old Olive
  • Accessories: Lovely Blossoms DSP, Moody Palette Glossy Dots, Cloud Cover Textured Ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals

I lined up the flower outlines, then added the color fill. I stamped off the Old Olive for the leaves to keep it soft and balanced with the Cloud Cover. I’m sorry to say the Fabulous Sayings Product of the Month has sold out – don’t wait on these products, their supply is not guaranteed!

And I just checked: The Woolly Friends bundle is due in the warehouse the week of April 20th.

The Lovely Blossoms DSP is a gorgeous background for a simple design. There are panels ready for you to cut and apply to your card front, or you can just trim a piece of the 12×12 design as I’ve done here. I love how DSP does the work for me! If you’ve been “saving” some for a special day, save no more – get out your trimmer and make a card!

A ROUND OF HELLOS – IN THE ROUND!

I like to send surprise cards – not for birthdays or other significant moments, but out-of-the-blue cards. I don’t know about you, but 70% of what I find in my mailbox is junk, 20% is solicitations from realtors or insurance, and 10% is actually for me. Most of that is bills, notices and statements! So getting a Real Card from a real person is a treat!

  • Stamps: A Round of Hellos
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue, Secret Sea
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Stylish Shapes dies, Spotlight on Nature dies, Balmy Blue Gingham Ribbon, Low Profile Sparkle Dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals

The Stylish Shapes and Spotlight on Nature dies nest beautifully. I like a narrow reveal on my mats, and these two dies were the perfect solution. I find stamping the blossom (the yellow image) first works well. I found it easier to snuggle the base into the blossom than to center the blossom on the base. Does that make sense?

This Balmy Blue and Daffodil combination is my second of this design – the first one was on a Pretty in Pink panel, and I just didn’t love it. Color choices make such a difference!

Don’t overlook A Round of Hellos – it’s in the Online Store.

CHARMING DAY IN TRUE BLUES

The Charming Day stamps have left the Online Store, but the dies are still available. I’m sad to see them go (how often do I say that???) but when something leaves, it makes room for something new. And our March Online Exclusives are just begging to be released (they’ll be available on March 3rd)!

  • Stamps: Charming Day
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Cloud Cover, Misty Moonlight, Memento Black
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Charming Day dies, Stampin’ Blends, True Blue DSP (Product of the Month), Stampin’ Dimensionals

The True Blue DSP is still available as a Product of the Month selection. Everyone is allowed just one Product of the Month purchase for a given month, whether you’re a demonstrator or a customer. If you haven’t purchased True Blue, take a look! The threshold for qualifying for a Product of the Month is the same as qualification for Free Shipping, available through February 20th. It’s a fabulous double dip!

The good news is that even if you don’t have Charming Day, we have a LOT of gorgeous florals. Pick one and try this simple layout! Shop the Online Store.

A SUNNY ROUND OF HELLOS

HI FRIENDS!!

Today’s card is bright and cheery and meant to bring a bit of joy – what do you think?

  • Stamps: A Round of Hellos
  • Color Palette: Basic White, Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Petunia Pop
  • Accessories: Stamp Cut & Emboss Machine, Lovely Stripes 3D embossing folder, Petunia Pop Bordered Ribbon (retired), Gathering Together DSP, Charming Shimmer Faceted Dots, Wink of Stella

The flowers are flipped up and down, and the curved sentiment is upside down in places. I think this reflects my personal style quite well 😆

There are a few retired products on this card, but our product selection is so diverse that you can easily find a substitute. The Round of Hellos stamp set is currently alive and well in the Online Store!

Happy Valentines Day 💕 I’ll be at the beach and riding the tandem with Mr. Maui Stamper. Can’t think of a better way to celebrate!!

Well, maybe shopping for Stampin’ Up! goodies at the Online Store for those of you who aren’t married to Mr. Maui Stamper 😉

LAST CHANCE MAUI STAMPER FAVES

It’s almost bedtime here on the Valley Isle, but I can’t rest until I share these favorites that are on the Last Chance list. Take a look and tell me if you agree!

Branching Out is a classic, year round set. It can be evergreens, or florals, or a wreath…don’t let this one slip by.

I personally think Wishing You Joy is a sleeper. It hasn’t gotten a lot of attention, but it should! 4 classic sentiments, expressed in 4 classic fonts – you’ll reach for it year after year.

The Traditions of Christmas DSP is a fabulous mix of florals and neutrals that will give your holiday crafting a quick boost. BONUS: the coordinating Christmas Greenery dies cut out multiple images from this DSP. If you want the companion stamps, order the dies and stamps as separate products. The bundle isn’t discounted, but the individual products are. IYKYK!

I was pretty sure Petal Arrangements would be on this list as it is a red rubber cling set. If you love tropical flowers, check this one out – the 6 images can be assembled as shown and stamped, or can be separated and used individually. I’m sad to see this one on Last Chance.

Our card and envelope sets are a great value. Design with the Christmas Greetings Cards & Envelopes and your cards will be done in a flash!

Awww…I really wanted these guys to stick around. Sigh. Pick up Long Time No See while you can and think of me when you make a card, ok?

LOVE LOVE LOVE the 6″ x 6″ Traditional Wreath 3D embossing folder! The card-front-sized Peaceful Greenery 3D Embossing Folder is also on Last Chance.

There’s so much more on the list…Stampin’ Up! really cleaned house this time. Take a look and see if your list is different from mine. Either way, you’ll find it all in the Online Store.

Do you love DSP that does all the heavy lifting the way I do??????? Here’s Traditions of Christmas again with a completely different feeling. This luxurious red and gold poinsettia motif does all the work.

Friends, you NEED the Embossing Additions Tool Kit. The tray has an end cap that screws on and off – no more breaking fingernails pulling out the plug! There’s an embossing buddy, a brush, and THE BEST craft tweezers you’ve ever held in your hand. Run don’t walk to get this one!

This DSP is amazing. Snap it up while you can – it’s in the Online Store.

TRADITIONS OF CHRISTMAS DSP AND THE PEACEFUL GREENERY EMBOSSING FOLDER

The Traditions of Christmas DSP does it again! This image can also be cut with the Stamp Cut and Emboss Machine using the Christmas Greenery dies. You’d be surprised how quickly this card comes together when you have a ready-made focal point.

This image is plentiful on the page of DSP, and comes in 3 color ways. Look closely at the background of the Pool Party die cut, as it’s been stamped with our new Lasting Linen stamp. The texture is GORGEOUS and I hope this one sticks around for a very very very long time.

When the coloring is done for you, the cards go together very quickly. I don’t know about you, but it seems as though this time of year I need a LOT of cards. Head over to the Online Store if you need a little more DSP or some dies.

QUICK CARD MAKING WITH THE CHRISTMAS GREETINGS CARDS & ENVELOPES

Our card and envelope packs are one of my favorite short cuts to card making. The Christmas Greetings Mix and Match cards and envelopes remind me of a Hawaiian fabric pattern called palaka, so I snapped up a couple of packs in my sneak peek order. Turns out they are a great match to the Traditionsmof Christmas DSP!!

Multiple images from the DSP can be cut with the coordinating dies, another big time saver. You’ve seen my coloring: it’s not like this!! And all that gold detail is just glorious.

Our Gold Mesh ribbon was on Last Chance and has sold out, but there’s a beautiful new option in the Online Store. And that new Christmas Words Hybrid Embossing Folder is AWESOME. You can cut out the individual words, but I like it just as it is!

The cards come with coordinating envelopes and the overall look is luxurious but just a little bit country. Pick up a couple of packages for your holiday cards and you’ll be halfway done! Shop the Online Store.
