Gift Wrapped

First a quick reminder if you haven’t already redeemed your Bonus Days Coupons there are just a couple of days left to do so.

You don’t want to miss out on the savings while you get some of your favorite new things too!

Today’s stamp set seemed perfect for today’s post since I feel like I unwrapped a wonderful gift yesterday afternoon with the kick off of our leadership event. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate each and everyone of you who allow me to share what I love with you. Without you I couldn’t achieve my goals and be included in special leadership events like the Leaders Summit this weekend. So here’s to you!

I thought I’d give you a little look of my peek at my set up this weekend – my guys helped me rearrange a bit so I’d be more comfy with a larger screen to stream on.

Sorry I know they aren’t the best pictures, my daughter says I’m selfie challenged, but you get the idea. Of course, as with every Stampin’ Up! event we need some chocolate and snacks.

And yes, Larry did spot the chocolate first thing as he walked through the classroom lol. (You’ll be happy to know I did provide him with his own little bowl which made him happy. Although, I’m not sure how much he got since Johnathan quickly found it too!)

Well on to the projects, right? These cards are all made with the Gift Wrapped Bundle found in our Mini Catalog. While each of the 3 cards use the same stamp set, each has a very different look. Isn’t that the great thing about stamps? We all start with the same stamps but we can get creative and personalize it to suit our needs.

This first card teams up the Gift Wrapped Bundle with the Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (153527) and some vellum that has been dry embossed using the Winter Snow Embossing Folder (153577) for a festive feel.

This next monochromatic card is done in Pretty Peacock.

Some shine has been added to the bow with Clear Embossing Powder. The bow was first stamped in Pretty Peacock Classic Ink and then again in VersaMark. Allowing it to be heat embossed which gives it really cool effect. And if you didn’t notice them in the Mini, the Iridescent Pearls (153549) are simply beautiful!

This last card uses the lovely Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (153512) and the Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper (153513).

Talk about sparkle and glimmer! And check out the cute little Snowflake Adhesive Baked Embellishments (153545).

This Bundle includes a punch – and punches are one of my favorite things for quick and easy card making and other projects.

And did you know if your bows on your packages get squished and flattened you can try this? The Bundle will allow you to create lovely flat bows for those packages this holiday season so you can feel free to stack those packages!

Beautiful Autumn

This Suite of products has been particularly popular with it’s set of 3 punches – it’s great for quick and easy projects too.

Check out these lovely cards made using the Beautiful Autumn Bundle (155189). This first card is sweet and simple perfect for #simplestamping and beginners as it uses a limited number of products.

Beautiful Autumn

Our Classic Ink Mint Macaron, Early Espresso and Cajun Craze were used for the stamping along with the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper for a bit of gold foil.

This next card uses the punches to punch the images from the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. Soo easy!

Beautiful Autumn

The strip of Early Espresso down the center was embossed using the Tasteful Texture 3D Embossing Folder (152718) to add a bit of texture along with the stitched die to cut out the sentiment. Lovely.

And this final card is strikingly elegant in it’s simplicity. Once again texture was added to the Very Vanilla panel using the Tasteful Textured 3D Embossing Folder. The beautiful foil panel is then layered with some stitched squares and topped with the stamped images that have been colored with our Stampin’ Blends and punched out with the Autumn Punch Pack (153609).

Beautiful Autumn

A bit of the Metallic Ribbon (153553) and Acorn Trinkets (153552) make this card extra special.

What do you think? Like this Suite of products? Why not check it out ? And remember if the Suite item number is unavailable due to a back order, you can still order the individual items.

Enjoy!

On a personal note.

While I was originally suppose to fly out yesterday for this event I guess things worked out for the best since since it’s now being streamed. I’m really excited about this event and look forward to it starting this afternoon.

While I was disappointed not to be able to gather together with my fellow demonstrators and friends and see New Orleans for the first time, Stampin’ Up! has already started this event with a bang! I received a surprise package in the mail earlier this month – This lovely box and it’s from Tiffany & Co.!

What a treat! I never dreamed I’d receive a gift from Tiffany & Co.! So I sat it on my shelf for a few days just enjoying the special box and wondering what was in it before I opened it.

We’ll be using these special flutes during our Welcome session later today. I’ve already got my sparkling cider chilling! It’s going to be a full 3 days streaming together!!!

Did I mention I was excited? This is a going to be another fantastic Stampin’ Up! event I can already tell just from the pre-event information we’ve received. LOL!!!

Well I’m off to set up my classroom with all the creature comforts for streaming.

Stop back by next week for more inspiration and my September Class information and my first Christmas Card Stamp a Stack this fall.

Gather Together

As crazy as it sounds the last rain showers brought yellow leaves fluttering down along the roadsides and in my front yard. It seems way too early with our 90 degree days but these little leaves are always the first sign of fall for me. And for some reason they always catch me by surprise every year the first time I see them. Then I have to remind myself that it is mid August and the hot days won’t last much longer. So that got me thinking about leaves and the Gather Together Bundle that has some wonderful images and dies for our fall crafting needs. Check out these lovely cards done with this Bundle.

This first card uses our new In Color Cinnamon Cider and the maple leaf has been colored with our Stampin’ Blends – love, love, love this coloring option for bold colors!

The Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper (153520) was used along with the Timeless Label Punch (149516).

This next card uses our Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper (153527) and the embossing dies that are part of the bundle. They cut and emboss texture at the same time which is pretty cool.

Gather Together

open it and you have a fun little surprise – the sentiment panel is attached to the card front only giving you a different look that allows the card to stand on it’s own.

Gather Together

Some simple stamping and die cutting creates this lovely card.

Gather Together

And how about this final card? It uses the wonderful Faux Suede Trim (152472) and the lovely wood print from the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (152494)

Gather Together

Don’t these cards make you think of crisp autumn nights? I always love the rich color combos for fall and this years’ In Color, Cinnamon Cider and the new Designer Series Papers are a lot of fun.

Enjoy!

Autumn Greetings

Today’s cards all use the Autumn Greetings Bundle and the lovely Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. The Autumn Greetings stamp set uses a lovely swirly font and also includes a friendship sentiment making it more versatile for those fall cards.

This first card uses the dies along with the Timeless Label Punch (149516) and check out the Gold Edged Metallic Ribbon (144146) teamed up with the foil in the Designer Series Paper for a bit of elegance.

This next card uses the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (151690) to create a wonderful frame for the sentiment.

And this final card uses the lovely line image as it’s focal point. The card was created using a gable fold that has been dry embossed with the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folder (153574).

I love the way that our Designer Series Paper give us a color pallet that makes creating easier and ties all kind of our products together. The coordination that Stampin’ Up! provides has always been one of the things that has drawn me to their products. How about you?

Paper Pumpkin Hello Pumpkin

Life is Beautiful

Its a balmy 93 degrees here in the North Georgia mountains and the humidity is off course off the charts, but that is Georgia in August. So today’s card makes me think of the cooler days ahead, after all once school starts those cooler mornings aren’t far behind.

Today’s card uses the Life is Beautiful stamp set (154871) found in the August – December Mini Catalog on page 51.

Life is Beautiful

I passed this one right by, but this card has me looking at it closer as I love the font and ease of customizing the tree. This DistInktive set can work for you all year long depending on your color choice and it has some great sentiments too.

Life is Beautiful

This card was stamped using our Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight and Crumb Cake Classic Inks to create a fall feel. And take a closer look at the card base – its the Gold Cards & Envelopes (153532) that are also found on page 51.

These cards and envelopes are gorgeous and the gold envelope is very rich with it’s metallic shimmer. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you give them a try.

So what do you think? Look like a set that you would enjoy? Why not leave me a comment and let me know?

More 2020 August – December Mini Organizational items

Today’s post is a quick one, but I wanted to share these last few things with you this weekend.

So here are the last few items that I wanted to share with you for this Mini Catalog. First I wanted to share the Designer Series Paper Series Chart. I love having this handy and in a bigger print. I always print twice. The first one I put on my desk for easy reference and the second I cut apart and tape onto the outside of the paper package at the top on the card board piece – this allows me to flip through my packages easily and quickly see the list of colors too.

2020 Aug – Dec Designer Series Paper Chart PDF

And finally here are a couple of case inserts for you since the All Inclusive Kits and Product Medley doesn’t have them.

  • Most Wonderful Time Die Case Insert PDF
  • Joy of Sharing Photopolymer Stamp Set Case Insert PDF

And of course you can find my other items for the 2020 August – December Mini Catalog that I shared earlier HERE.

Enjoy!
