Flip-Cards with Thinlets/Aug. SAS Reminder

Perhaps you've made or seen those cards that seem to magically flip open when you turn over the front piece.  It has always taken a bit of careful measuring, cutting, and scoring to make it work just right, and was generally only workable in a square or rectangle shape.  But no more!  Stampin' Up has just released (Aug. 1st!) two new Thinlit card dies for the Big Shot that make cutting these interactive cards easy to do in just a few seconds!  I've already ordered mine (they're coming on Monday), and I'll use it in the September Techniques Class coming up next month!  Check out the video and details here on my SU site, you'll love it!!  Whooo-wee!!

Speaking of "coming up soon", that's what's happening with the DEADLINE to sign up for the August Stamp-A-Stack (SAS) class coming up on Friday, 8/9.  These cards are so versatile, easy to make, yet quite impressive in person with their details and texture, how can you say no?  Please let me know by Monday, 8/5 if you can make it and what card choices you'd like so I can be sure to have everything ready for you.  Bring a friend and make it a fun and creative night out with the bonus of 12 hand-stamped cards at the end!!

July Stamp Class

With the Buy Three/Get One Free Designer Paper Promotion for July, I've decided to feature 2 different printed designer papers for this class so that you can see more ideas and colors.  These are two of my favorites and tie in so beautifully with the new stamps and new chevron ribbons, you'll want to make them all!

The top two cards use Afternoon Picnic Designer Papers, with soft colors and some different card shapes.  The round scalloped card has a cool "shabby chic" look and is a perfect combination of cool, pretty, and old/new without being too fussy.  The hexagon window card is the opposite: clean and neat, featuring the new Six Sided Sampler stamp set and its coordinating punch which are available at 15% off when ordered as a bundle!
The Birthday Basics Designer Paper has all the needed birthday images but in fresh, bright colors.  The left card has a unique "dutch door" opening, while the right one is a gift card holder which makes your present look so much nicer than the store-provided folder.  You'll want to make lots of these cards with different card base colors to provide variety without needing to redesign the cards all over again. How great is that!?
