February Techniques & Fancy Fold Class

 A little while back, someone requested that I look into doing a "corner pop-up" card sometime.  Little did I know that a few months later, I would be doing an entire class on this type of card, but it's been so much fun!  So for the first time, we will focus a Fancy Fold class on one technique but with a three different presentations. All square cards are 4 1/4" and will fit into our standard A2 sized envelopes, so they don't need extra postage to mail. With the different styles and options, I hope you'll also find it fascinating to explore all the possibilities!

The upper left "creative" card has stamps and papers that celebrate our love of crafting and hand-made art.  Note how this design option opens with the diagonal fold on the bottom of the card and includes a small pocket for a gift card, paper money, or extra hidden message. This little pocket can also be easily glued closed if it is not needed, but what a fun card option to have and send along to others.

The middle card is one of those birthday cards that everyone would love to receive, no matter what their age!  Bright colors and cute critters are everywhere, and with the diagonal fold now on the right side, the word banner springs up to add even more fun.  You could certainly add more balloons, banners, or other embellishments for even more pop!

The third card is just really beautiful inside and out.  There will be words available for this to be a Valentine's Day card for someone special (with this month in mind),  but for here I decided to keep it more versatile with a simple but sincere "Thinking of You" sentiment.  The card now has the diagonal fold on the left side so that the white magnolia flower swings to the left from its window position when it is opened. You may not be able to see the detail of this embossed flower in the photo, but is it really dimensional and life-like in person. The inside is also extra pretty, with softly colored stamping and coordinating papers that make this diagonal "window" version of our pop-up card one that you'll want to make multiples of to have and give for many different occasions.

To make these three very special cards and have all the printed measurements and instructions, save the date and be sure you don't miss this class! Remember that SAB (Sale-A-Bration) is still going on, so each $50 order increment earns you a Stampin' Up Freebie, no limit!

January Stamp Class Reminder

Just a quick reminder that today is the last day to save your spot for this month's Stamp Class on Thursday, Jan. 9 at 7:00pm. Hope to see you too, it's going to be great fun!

Jan-June 2020 Mini Catalog AND Sale-A-Bration (SAB) are now live!!

The day is here, sound the trumpet and blow the horn!  Both the new Jan-June 2020 Mini Catalog AND Sale-A-Bration (SAB) are now live and ready for your enjoyment! For those of you who may not know, SAB that special time of year that you can earn a select FREE Stamp set, matching dies, or accessories with any order from the current catalogs or the Clearance Rack!  It's a win-win for everyone who loves FREE stuff!

I have hard copies of both the the Mini and SAB catalogs available for you who attend my Stamp Class, but if you order from me and would like a copy of your own, just ask. In the meantime, check out the links above and make up your wish list, (I have a long one going already!) Oooo, poppies!

January 2020 Stamp Class

Welcome to the next decade, everyone!  With this fresh new year and new month, we have some  new stamps, papers, accessories, and even FREEBIES to create some great new cards!  Sale-A-Bration (SAB) starts on Jan. 3rd where for 3 months, every $50 increment in your order earns you a special stamp or die set or accessory for FREE from the SAB Mini catalog!  Hooray, it's the best time in the Stampin' Up year!

You'll be seeing lots of poppies in the next few months: stamps, dies, papers, and  more!  The upper left card shows the more purply side with Stampin' Blends in Blackberry Bliss, isn't it gorgeous?!  Also note the new Label Me Bold word set that can alter this card for almost any occasion and has a nice bright almost white-embossed look. So versatile, and so easy!

The second poppy card on the upper right is even easier, done in a version of the spotlight technique with the ever-useful rectangle dies in different sizes.  Adding some matching goodies from the SU Clearance Rack keeps it easy, inexpensive, and it's done!  I can see making up these cards in multiples or in sets, they would be so good to have on hand.

The lower left card is done in softer looking tones, using some SU colored vellums with the new poppy dies along with a fancy-looking foiled label frame.  The new Coastal Weave embossing folder adds even more texture, so you'll need to see this one in person to appreciate how dimensional it is.  And with a simple change of the sentiment, it's again another versatile card for many occasions.

The lower right card has the Lovely Lily Pad stamps and Dies that you can earn for FREE with SAB!  This time it's more of a water/wave look with blue tones, and you can easily change the sentiment according to the next occasion on your calendar because this card would suit just about everyone.

We're trying out a new day/time this month, let me know what you think.  (Other dates may be available for 2 or more, contact me.)
