Last Chance Products Time

Last Chance Products Time has come. It’s necessary to move out the old to make room for the new products coming in the Jan – April 2024 Mini Catalog. Now is the time to order those stamps, bundles, papers, and accessories you have been eyeing in the fall mini catalog. A few items are carrying over to next year but most will retire. Most importantly, even those stamps and dies that carry over into the next catalog sales period will no longer be bundled together. Now is the time to order the bundles and save 10%.

Since items will sell out quickly, the best policy is to shop now while there is still inventory. You can access the Carryover list here and the Last Chance items list here. Then go over to my online store to order. That way you will know if something is still available.

My Favorite Products are Going Away During Last Chance Products Time

Stars at Night Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies (162996)

and of course all the beautiful designer series papers in the catalog. The only one carrying over is the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (162133).

This scary cute pop-up card is such fun to play with. What you are seeing is the card in the closed. The magic happens when you open the card. The photo shows the card flattened open but it is 3 dimensional otherwise. I love how the black cat pops up! I can play with it for minutes at a time. 🙂

The images of the children do not have a corresponding die so I fussy cut them out. The tricky part of the card is getting the pop-up feature to work properly without any of the cat showing out the bottom of the card when it is closed. The fence is cut out with part of a Split Card Textures die

Sparkle of the Season Thanksgiving

Leave a reply
handmade Thanksgiving card using the Sparkle of the Season bundle

I created this Sparkle of the Season Thanksgiving card for the people on our church’s Care Call list. The details were a little fussy for making 15 cards but I did get them all done this weekend along with having a wonderful time at OnStage at Home.

To save time and avoid getting adhesive on my hands, I used our adhesive sheets until I ran out. Then I had the bright idea of running the wreaths through the Xyron machine to put adhesive on the back of them. Big mistake!!! Oh boy was that a big mistake. When I pulled them off the sheet with the adhesive, they got all out of shape and the adhesive caused parts to stick to each other. What a mess. I pushed through and did get them down onto the card fronts with a fair semblance of a round wreath. However there was adhesive everywhere! On my fingers and on the cardstock between the parts of the wreath. I solved the problem by spraying alcohol on the wreath and wiping the excess adhesive off with a paper towel. Yes…you can do that. The alcohol evaporates and leaves no mark.

In addition to the dies in the Sparkle of the Season bundle, I used the wheat die from the Harvest dies, a label from the Seasonal Labels dies, and the Stitched Greenery die for the background.

Supplies Used for the Sparkle of the Season Thanksgiving

  • Mossy Meadow Cardstock 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
  • Crumb Cake Cardstock 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″
  • Basic White Cardstock 5 1ç4: x 4: for inside of card, scrap for label
  • Cardstock Scraps of Cinnamon Cider, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, and Crushed Curry
  • Sparkle of the Season Bundle
  • A Wish for Everything stamp set for greeting
  • Stitched Greenery Die
  • Seasonal Labels Die
  • Crumb Cake Baker’s Twine (retired)
  • Order the supplies to make this card here. You can delete product you already have from the shopping cart.

This Sparkle fo the Season Thanksgiving card uses a lot of different colors of cardstock. Luckily for you, Stampin; Up¡ is having a big Seasonal Sale on inks, cardstock and dies November 16 – 18. The cardstock is 10% off, the ink pads are 15% off and the dies are 20% off. This is a great time to stock up. To order, just click on the Shop Now button in the upper right corner.

From ‘Meh’ to ‘Wow!’

Leave a reply

Sometimes, when designing a card, the littlest detail can change a card from ‘meh’ to ‘wow!’ Today I was playing around with the Be Dazzling 6″ x 6″ Specialty Designer Series paper that will be a free item during Sale-A-Bration. I used the dies from the Stitched Stars die set to cut out stars with this creation in mind.

Handmade Christmas card created with the Stitched Stars Dies that went from meh to wow!

However, I felt this card looked a little meh. It didn’t dazzle me. So I trimmed the card front down to 5″ x 3 3/4″ and layered it on top of a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of the Be Dazzled designer series paper. Now the card goes from meh to wow! Take a look!

I’m excited to share with you this Hot Dog Floating Gatefold Card today! Our granddaughter was just given two long-haired mini dachshunds for her birthday and I knew this would be the perfect card for her. We also share our home with a couple of very spoiled mini dachshunds so when the Hot Dog stamp set became available in the Stampin’ Up! January to June mini catalog, I jumped on buying it.

I used the following materials to make this Hot Dog Floating Gatefold Card

  • Stamp set – Hot Dog
  • Inks – Memento, Real Red, Lt Cinnamon Cider Blend, Lt Basic Black Blend
  • Basic White Cardstock – 8 1/5″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 2 1/8 ” on both ends for card base, scraps of Basic White, and two strips 3″ x 1/4″ scored at 1/4″, 1 7/8″ and 2 3/8″
  • Real Red Cardstock – scrap
  • Playful Pets Designer Series Paper – 5″ x 3 3/4″, 2 pieces 5 1/4″ x 17/8″
  • Accessories – Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Retired Large Letters Framelits Dies, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Seal

To Make Card

  • fold card base on score lines. Then adhere dsp to card base.
  • cut H and B from Real Red cardstock and adhere to front of card
  • stamp greeting with Real Red ink on white scrap. Cut out with a Stitched So Sweetly rectangle die. Adhere to inside center of card.
  • stamp the dogs on Basic White cardstock scraps and color with Stampin’ Blends. Fussy-cut them out.
  • Bend score lines on narrow strips of cardstock into a C shape. Adhere the 5/8″ end inside near bottom of right card front near the fold. Glue the dog to the strip being sure it doesn’t show below the closed card. Apply glue just to 1/4″ section and fold the strip back under the dog. Close card and press on the 1/4″ tab. Open card to be sure only the 1/4″ tab is glued down.
  • Repeat this process in the upper left side of the card gluing the 5/8″ section to the inside of the left card front.

Check this out. Joy of Sharing Kit = great value! This card kit includes a set of 7 photopolymer stamps, a clear stamp block, Mossy Meadow Classic Stampin’ Spot, 15 printed card bases, 15 envelopes, printed die-cut images and label pieces, die-cut accent pieces, Laser-cut foil frames, adhesive-backed glitter dots, Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhesive dots. You also get complete instructions to create the cards and a couple of alternative card ideas.

I put together all 15 cards. Some were photo cards and the rest were beautiful Christmas cards. But I had a lot of pieces left over. So I used the Wonders of the Season Memories & More Cards and Envelopes package to make 20 more cards using some of the extra pieces from the Joy of Sharing Card Kit. Now I had 35 cards from the pieces of the Joy of Sharing card kit.

Photo of the Wonder of the Season Memories & More Cards and Envelopes

Check out some of the cards I made combining the two kits.

Cards made with the Joy of Sharing card kit and Wonder of the Season Memories & More Cards & Envelopes

14 More Cards!

I still had lots of die-cuts and labels left so I cut card bases from Thick Whisper White cardstock and carried on. I trimmed the centers of the gold foil laser-cut frames down to fit the card bases I had just made and trimmed off some of the pointy parts a little bit. These were adhered with Stampin” Seal to the centers of the card fronts. Then I covered the irregular parts with die-cut poinsettias and pine cone clusters from the Joy of Sharing kit. I got 14 more cards from that kit for a total of 49 cards.

Photo shows an additional 14 cards created with Joy of Sharing Card Kit elements.

And look how much more is left over for future use!

Left over elements of the Joy of Sharing Card Kit after making 49 cards!

Yep…they are on sale and there is still inventory left. Hustle on over and purchase these two items now! You will have a headstart on next years Christmas cards.

Candle Triple Side-step Card

Leave a reply
Handmade Christmas Card using the Curvy Cgleaming Specialty Designer Series Paperhristmas stamp set and Brightly

I’m very excited to share with you this Candle Triple Side-step card! Last Saturday, I shared another Triple Side-fold Christmas card here and told you the design suggested to me a row of candles. Ta daa! Here is the creation.

I used the same Night of Navy cardstock for the base but changed the dsp to another Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series paper design. This time I used copper foil sheets as a layer under the dsp. The smaller of the Gleaming Ornaments Punch Pack was used to punch out the copper foil and then I hand-cut the shape of the flames. I happened to have a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock that had been embossed with the Subtle embossing folder. That was perfect for the candles.

I cut branches from Mossy Meadow cardstock using the Beautiful Boughs dies. I stamped the little pine cones from the In the Woods stamp set on Soft Suede cardstock using Early Espresso ink. Then I used the little pinecone die from the In The Woods Dies to cut them out. The greeting and swoosh of stars were stamped on Very Vanilla with Night of Navy ink using stamps from the Curvy Christmas stamp set. The Curvy Christmas stamp set is part of the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle special starting November 3.

Supplies for Candle Triple Side-step Card

  • Night of Navy Cardstock – 10″ x 7″
  • Very Vanilla Cardstock – 4″ x 1 1/2″, 6 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ for inside, 1″ x 3″, 2 pieces 2″ x 3/4″

  • Copper Foil Sheets – 4 3/4″ x 2 3/8″, 4 1/4 x 1 3/4″, 2 pieces 2 7/8″ x 2 1/8″, scrap

Stunning Shimmery Halloween Card

Leave a reply
Handmade stunning shimmery Halloween card

This stunning shimmery Halloween card is easy to make using the split-circle technique. I designed this card for an Facebook Groups class I’m holding Sunday afternoon. Due to copyright laws, we aren’t allowed to include stamped images in card kits. Therefore I used a collection of dies to make this card.

The split-circle technique gives that swoop of color in the center of the card. You cut out four circles in increasing size using alternating colors/designs of cardstock/designer series papers. In this case I used the Rainbow Glimmer paper on the purple to yellow side of the sheet. I used the layering circle dies starting with the smallest circle. I labeled the dies in increasing size starting with the smallest being one and the largest being 8. I used #1 – #4 dies for the circles. Then cut the circles in half and adhere together as shown. For your convenience I have listed the place to position each circle on your paper trimmer to have them cut in half. Notice that each die goes up exactly 1/8″ plus the 1/16″. I could have given the measurements all in sixteenths but I found it easier to find the eights on the ruler and then add the 1/16″.

  • #1 4/8″ + 1/16″
  • #2 5/8″ + 1/16+
  • #3 6/8″ + 1/16″
  • #4 7/8″ + 1/16″

I used the next to the largest stitched rectangle to cut the Basic Black background. The frame was cut from the Rainbow Glimmer paper by nesting the third largest die inside the next larger die. I placed #2 and #4 circle dies inside the rectangles to conserve paper.

Supplies Used for the Stunning Shimmery Halloween Card

  • Mango Melody Cardstock – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ and folded for card base
  • Basic Black Cardstock – 4 3/4″ x 3 1/2″
  • Rainbow Glimmer Paper – purple to yellow edge of sheet 5 1/2″ x 5″
  • Black Glitter Paper – 4″ x 2″
  • Layering Circles Dies
  • Stitched Rectangles Dies
  • Word Wishes Dies
  • Halloween Magic Dies
