Uh-oh, Fast Fuse is all gone! 😥

As part of the original World Card Making Day offer, you could get two free Fast Fuse Refills with every purchase of a Fast Fuse Adhesive. However, this offer was overwhelmingly more popular than was anticipated, and Fast Fuse has since gone on backorder. Stampin' Up will no longer be offering this promotion in North America at this time. Current orders on backorder will be filled shortly.

To make up for this unexpected response, they will bring back the same offer on Fast Fuse for five days (for North America only) within the next few months after sufficient amounts are in stock .  In the meantime, many apologies for the inconvenience, but keep this in mind and I'll be sure to let you know when we can all order it again.  

Thank you for your understanding!

October Fancy Fold and Techniques Class

Although I'm using some retired Designer Papers this month, I know that you will FALL for these brand new card folds and techniques!  They may look like a standard card from the front, but they're all truly delightful and different. This is (again!) one of those classes that you really don't want to miss!

The little bear with a balloon is actually a motion card, as the balloon floats and jiggles around when you shake it. When the front is released from its slot-lock, it opens up to a second inner panel with a sentiment, then to three full panels; perfect for different patterns of paper or perhaps an inner pocket to hold a gift card/paper money.  Take a close look at the little punched bear, it's so cute and easy to make with some special "alterations" that you'll learn.


 The upper right card has a split closure that is quite different from anything that we've made before.  Whether in portrait or landscape position, this new fold opens up many different possibilities for matching papers, embossed surfaces, and stamped images.  I'm going to have to make a lot more like this!

It took awhile before the bottom card worked just right, but I'm now happy with the results!  I adapted the Wood Crate Framelit to make it work as a Z-fold style card, and added a little awning for our pumpkin display at the Farmer's Market.  It would also be adorable with flowers, fruits, baked goods, or even kitties in the crate! There will also be a "Happy Fall" sentiment available for the inside if you'd prefer that to the Halloween one displayed.

As with all my Techniques classes, printed directions with pictures and measurements are included, so grab some stamping buddies and save your spot to come!

Friday, Oct. 6; 7:00 - 9:30 pm (minimum 2)
