Coffee Break Designer Series Paper Follow Up

Just a quick follow up to my post on Wednesday. In yesterday's blog hop, I shared my Coffee Cafe' Card version 2.0 where I mixed up the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper (DSP) to make a new card out of leftover packets from a previous card. I hope you enjoyed the blog hop. What a fabulous group of demonstrators I have found that love to share everything Stampin' Up!

As promised, today I am sharing my template and instructions for cutting the DSP to make this card.

The Crumb Cake card stock base is a standard A2, 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored at 4 1/4" (envelope size - 4-3/8” x 5-3/4”). The next layer is Soft Sky card stock, 4" x 5 1/4". This will be the base for layering our cut pieces and the new background for our cute, cute coffee cup embellishment.

Instructions for cutting DSP:

The original size of the DSP from the previous pack was 3 7/8" x 5". The first step is to cut 1/8" off both the short and long sides (Cuts #1, #2 grayed out with a Tranquil Tide Stampin' Write Marker, of course!). The new measurement of the DSP is 3 3/4" x 4 7/8". (Pardon my rudimentary drawings, but cute balloons, right?)

Next cut a 1" strip from the long side (Cut #3). You can chose either long side. I picked the left side to take advantage of the numbers along the edge for this picture.  Place both pieces together and cut at 3" (Cut #4) so that there is the nice, big piece of your "favorite" side of the DSP for the bottom left of your card front.

That is really all there is to it. However, if you are starting from all scraps, the sizes are (top left, clockwise, from the photo of the card, not the template.):

1. 1" x1 7/8'
2. 2 5/8" x 1 7/8"
3. 1" x 3"
4. 2 5/8" x 3"

Shameless plugs:

Introducing the New Stampin' Up! 2016-17 Annual Catalog and Hearth and Home Framelits Card

Before I share my comments on May's club card, I just wanted to take a moment to thank everyone for their support over the last year. It has been my pleasure to help you with your paper crafting and stamping projects. I am honored that you trust me. The new Stampin' Up! catalog release was yesterday (June 1) and I cannot wait to show everyone at our next workshop. It is full of great products and inspiration! To the right is a link to a pdf of the catalog for your quick reference throughout the next year. Happy stamping!

Now, this past month's club card featured the Happy Home stamp set from the 2016 Occasions catalog that retired Tuesday, May 31, but the alternate card used the stamp with the three small flowers and the coordinating Hearth and Home Framelits. Since the club card was a CASE of the card sample in the catalog, let's talk about the alternate card, and how to "fix" it with current catalog product.

Indoors: The flowers in the window are placed in the first vase from the Vivid Vases stamp (retired May 31 -- I recommend using the Flower Patch Stamp Set to replace the flowers and vase/use the small end of the large leaf/upside down). I colored the vase using the Daffodil Delight Stampin' Write marker and the stems are hand drawn with an Old Olive Stampin' Write marker. The lace curtains are Venetian Crochet Trim (retired May 31 -- I recommend Very Vanilla 1/2" Lace Trim/adorable!).

Outdoors: The window box is full of flowers created with the Petite Petals punch (Perfect Plum, Calypso Coral) and the centers of the flowers (Daffodil Delight) from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack (retired May 31 -- I recommend the small flower from the Blossom Bunch Punch). The flower centers are various Regals candy dots (retired May 31 -- I recommend the new Enamel Shapes). The leaves are the tops of the branch from the Bird Builder punch (retired May 31 -- I recommend the leaf from the Flower Fair Framelits).

House: The color choice for this traditional Florida beach house is Blushing Bride card stock run through the Big Shot with the Brick Wall TIEF and a window trim of Mint Macaron. (Tip: Be sure to cut out the "window" from the Blushing Bride layer first.)

Until I wrote out my blog I had not realized just how many retired product went into this card, but the recommended replacements will make this card a winner for sure. I would love to see pictures of cards you create from my example. Please share them with me on Facebook or Pinterest.

Just a little business yet. I wanted to tell you about the promotion during the month of June. For each workshop (or order) of $350 USD/$400 CAD or more in sales, the hostess will receive $35 USD/$40 CAD in Extra Stampin’ Rewards. This is an excellent opportunity to start adding to your collection from the new catalog. Remember, Stampin’ Rewards can also be used on Starter Kits, which are even better this month!

Stamp on!

All About Sugar Stamp Set and Fry Box Bundle Treat Bags

Today we will be making these cute treat bags. 

On page 61 of the new 2015-16 Annual Catalog, Stampin’ Up! offers the All About Sugar Stamp Set in photopolymer and the Fry Box Bigz L Die (p. 175) at a 15% discount if you bundle these fantastic 2 products. Incredible savings to make this super cute treat bag in the shape of a fry box – just like the ones your favorite fast food comes in.

There is absolutely not much work involved in putting together this project. Run a half sheet of card stock through your Big Shot™ using the Fry Box Bigz L Die. On my project, I used a piece of Tangerine Tango card stock for the fry box and stamped the images on Whisper White card stock – fussy cutting the images with a very, very slight border of the Whisper White. It would have been awesome to have a punch or die cut for these smaller images, but the fry box was the way to go.

I wish I could give credit to the demonstrator’s video I saw many weeks ago – I am sorry, I do not remember her name any more – where she folded the card stock in half instead of laying the half sheet across the whole die in order to allow identical dimensions for the front and back of the box. This change allows you to punch the “handle” using the Large Oval punch as you can see in the photo of my project. I also used the Extra Large Oval punch by accident on one of the fry boxes. I am not so sure I like it as well as the Large Oval punch. But that is the beauty of paper crafting – you get to make your own choices.

Most importantly, please be sure to use a strong adhesive, like the new Tear and Tape Adhesive (p. 156, $7.00) to secure the sides of the fry box. Then you will be assured that your treat bag will not fall apart on your recipient!

I challenge you to make one of these adorable Fry Box treat bags yourself. In fact, if you purchase:

1. One (1) All About Sugar Stamp Set and Fry Box BigzL Die Bundle (p. 61, Item #140221, $42.50);
2. One (1) Tangerine Tango Classic Stamp Pad (p. 138, Item #126946, $6.50); and 
3. One (1) bag of the Mini Clothespins (p. 160, Item #133764, $4.00)

from my online store at sandee904.stampinup.net only, I will send you via regular U.S. mail one (1) half sheet of Tangerine Tango Card Stock, one (1) half sheet of Whisper White Card Stock, and the 2 pieces of ribbon (both ribbon shown are retired now so this will be while supplies last or through expiration of this offer) which will be enough to make one of these cuties yourself.

Now hurry, because you must place your order at my online stone before the end of the day on August 31, 2015 when this offer will expire. Please be sure to check the box that I am allowed to contact you, otherwise, I will not have your address to mail your goodies out to you.

And, if you already have the All About Sugar stamp set or the Fry Box Bigz L die cut, I will still honor my offer as long as you place an order through my online store at sandee904.stampinup.net for any product totaling $50 or more (excluding shipping, handling, taxes).

Difficulty Level: Easy  (I finished both fry boxes last night in about 45 minutes. I have no doubt that you can do the same.)

Stamp on!

Petal Parade Stamp Set and Sweet Sorbet DSP

This month’s club card was a rocket-fast card made with a wide slip of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Sweet Sorbet DSP (offered in the Sale-A-Bration catalog), a couple of die cuts and punches, a flower image from the Petal Parade stamp set (also found in the Sale-A-Bration catalog), and sentiment from Itty Bitty Banners.

At first I was not in love with the Petal Parade Stamp Set offered by Stampin’ Up! as one of several free product with every $50 purchase. I think you will agree that this is going to make a swell addition to your collection of stamp sets like everything else by Stampin’ Up! The best part, of course, is the coordination of stamp sets to DSP or die cuts, and this stamp set coordinates with another free product in the Sale-A-Bration catalog, Sweet Sorbet DSP. Delicate colors that will complement your spring projects using the 2013-15 In Colors (Crisp Cantaloupe and Pistachio Pudding), 2012-14 In Colors (Summer Starfruit), and everyone’s staple, Pool Party from the Subtles Collection.

Behind the stamped flower image you will recognize the Blossom Punch. The flower image is cut out using the Circles Collection Framelit (#4, I believe), and centered on a complete punch of Crisp Cantaloupe with the Blossom Punch. The second Blossom Punch of Summer Starfruit cut into 6 pieces and centered between each petal of the first flower. Finished with Pistachio Pudding leaves on stems using the Bird Builder Punch.

If you need dimensions or detailed instructions, let me know, and I’d be happy to send them out to you. Send an email or message me below.

It is unfortunate that Sale-A-Bration ends tomorrow, March 31, but all good things must come to an end, right! Still time to place an order. Please visit my online store – the quickest way to get there is to go to my Stampin’ Up! webpage and click the link to SHOP NOW. This way you can be sure that I am selected as your demonstrator. I certainly appreciate your order. And I appreciate your comments, too! Please leave me your comments. Let me know what you would be interested in seeing more of, less of, anything.

Also still time to join my Stampin’ Up! team for $99 during Sale-A-Bration (thru March 31, 2104). YOU will select $150 worth of product for your starter kit, and can start earning your product, learning some great craft ideas, and meeting some great people that turn into great friends!

Stamp On!  Sandy

My Mother Stamp Set

Just a quick update today. Now don't freak out because Mother's Day is not until May, but I wanted to share this adorable, clean and simple card my sister, Cindy, made using the masking tape technique to add splashes of color. Just beautiful, Sis.

If you live in the Kansas City, Missouri area, you should look her up and join her stamp club. They meet once a month on Fridays (sorry, I don't know her exact schedule).

My stamp club meets the 3d Saturday of the month.  See you on March 15th.  

Stamp on!  Sandy

Friendship? Yes, please. From My Heart Stamp Set

Charles Dickens.  Stampin' Up! has collected several beautiful sayings in a stamp set called From My Heart (Annual Catalog, p. 99). This month, instead of the normal Valentine's colors of pink and red, we will step outside of the box and use orange and blue (Tangerine Tango and Tempting Turquoise). The card will be featuring Mr. Dickens' quote complemented by the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set (p. 109). The splatters of blue give the card an eclectic feel, or shabby chic as they say.

I bought the White Tea Lace Paper Doilies (item #129399) several months ago, but hadn't quite found the right card for it. I think the paper doilies can really make a shabby chic card! I wasn't happy with plain white so I sponged with Tempting Turquoise ink and I think it truly makes the card pop now.

If you need dimensions or detailed instructions, please send me an email and I'll email a pdf to you.

Don't forget that Sale-A-Bration runs through March 31. This is a great time to hold a party or make an individual purchase since for every $50 you spend, you can select a FREE item from the brochure that is not yet available in current catalogs or online. If your party sales reach $300 or more, in addition to the $50 in hostess dollars, you will receive an additional $30 in hostess dollars. That is $80 in FREE product! Click the link to the right to view the brochure.

If you join my Stampin' Up! team for $99 during Sale-A-Bration (thru March 31, 2014), YOU will select $150 worth of product for your starter kit, and can start earning your product, learning some great craft ideas, and meeting some great people that turn into great FRIENDS!

Stamp on!

Happy New Year and Welcome Back...Hearts A Flutter Stamp Set and Coordinating Framelits Die Cut Collection

Hello, Stampers!  Finally getting things back to “normal” since the holidays. I can’t believe how busy things got there – complicated by the short time between Thanksgiving and the holidays. I just noticed that I never got around to posting a photo of my holiday cards and tags.

 This weekend was the first stamp club of the new year. Great to see everyone! Since there won’t be time to hold another workshop before Valentine’s day, that’s where we got started! Of course, there were loads of hearts stamped, punched, die cut and snipped, but I found fun in making the “love” die cut from Stampin’ Up’s Expressions thinlits die cut collection the focus of the card.

The large heart (from Hearts a Flutter Stamp Set and Framelits Die Cut collection) is cut from Pirouette Pink and stamped with In Color Strawberry Slush. I “found” the arrow just lying there in the “scrap” pile from punching multiple flags (extended flag right behind the large heart) one after another on a strip of Basic Gray. I LUV when that happens! From the right of the flag, it looks like hearts are shooting out in rapid succession, right? Second sample uses Marina Mist and Basic Gray for those non-traditional valentine’s day greetings.

As you know my sister, Cindy, is also a Stampin’ Up demonstrator. Since we don’t live close to each other, this year we are swapping our club cards for fun. I can’t wait to send her the January workshop card, and can’t wait to receive hers from this upcoming weekend.

I am thinking about participating in this week’s clean and simple challenge from The Paper Players (PPA179). It is a one-layer valentine card. If I have time yet today, I will finish it and get it posted right away.

I added a link to the recently released 2014 Occasions Catalog.  Take a moment to look through it.  Chock full of awesome new product, projects, and ideas.

Finally, I wanted to point out that Sale-A-Bration begins next week, January 28. This year Stampin’ Up! created six bundles of product (discounted and total right at or above $50); perfect to earn a Sale-A-Bration freebie. Please contact me ASAP to set your workshop date to get in on the great products available during this awesome sale. I need your help to meet my goal of reaching out to 100 new Stampin’ Up! “lovers”. Thank you all for your support and being my cheerleaders.

Stamp On!

Baby Shower Card Featuring Baby Tees and Sentiment from Baby Prints

Reprinted from my Stampin' Up! Blog...

I have several VIP events this month that will require cards, including a baby shower to attend later this month, so I thought I should take advantage of this long weekend and get a head start on my card making. For now, let’s focus on the baby shower card. In case you hadn’t noticed – It’s a Girl ! My regular readers will know exactly who will receive this card.

Now for the details…

I am so in LUV with the Chalk Talk Stamp Set and coordinating Chalk Talk Framelits, I knew that I had to work something from either the stamp set or the Framelits into this card so I used the Framelits to create a removable tag for a keepsake bookmark. Cute, right? I hope the mommy-to-be agrees.

The sleeper (onesie) is just one of several from the Baby Tees Stampin’ Around Wheel. It was really easy to snip out. Again, and still hung up on the Gingham Stampin’ Around Wheel, I ran 3 right next to each other to make the background pattern for the bookmark with enough left over to punch out the background circle to build the bookmark.

I tried to keep the card all one color (Pink Pirouette), however, the duckies had to be yellow. I struggled with the ribbon for the bookmark — I needed a wide ribbon and went with a retired ribbon. I know, I know, but I love this old ribbon and had plenty of surplus after it was retired.

Finally, I wanted the sentiment from Baby Prints Stamp Set to stand out so I bumped up the color a notch using the new 2013-15 In Color Strawberry Slush.

The pearl accents really make the card.

Stamp on!!

Kind & Cozy Stamp Set

From my Stampin' Up! blog...

This month’s Friends n Neighbors Stamp Club was a swell chance to get together with everyone before school started up again to make some cards. In addition to the Chalk Talk card (using the Chalk Talk Stamp Set, coordinating Chalk Talk Framelit Die, see my last blog), we also had time to make cards with the new Kind & Cozy Stamp Set. The tiny tea cup is just perfect! This set incorporates the gingham pattern so great to again be able to use the Gingham Stampin’ Around Wheel. I love it when everything coordinates!

This stamp set has everything to make a simple card and (with a little butterfly punched out of gingham “wheeled” paper, candy dots or ribbon) easy to bling. You might consider adding the Kind & Cozy Stamp Set and Gingham Stampin’ Around Wheel to your collection!

Stamp on!!

Best Friends Are Like Fabulous Shoes Using Stampin’ Up! New 2012-2014 In Color Collection, Fabulous You Stamp Set and Scallop Circle Punch

This card is created using Stampin’ Up! Fabulous You Stamp Set (SS) and Stampin Up! 2012-14 In Color Collection. It almost felt like a “math project” (although divine, the triangles are tricky) and uses the new 1 1/4" Scallop Circle punch and a standard 1” circle punch from the main Idea Book and Catalog (IBC).  This card kit is $35.00 (U.S.)* and includes instructions and the following:

• Pre-cut and/or punched card stock to make 10-4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards (landscape/left-side fold)
• Pre-cut ribbon (coordinating Primrose Petals 3/8” Satin Stitched Ribbon)
• 50-3 mm Pearls to complement upper right-hand corner phrase detail
• 10 Stampin’ Up!  Medium envelopes (Whisper White)

All you supply is the 2012-14 In-Color Stampin’ Write Markers and your favorite adhesive(s).  Pursuant to Stampin' Up! policy, the images will not be pre-stamped.

Please send your requests to sandee904@yahoo.com.  I will reply with instructions for payment using Paypay.  If you prefer U.S. Priority mail shipping (2-3 days), please include $5.60 additional postage in your payment.*
