Fun with Shutter Cards & the NEW Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper

Looking for a quick and easy card. Today’s card uses the fun Shutter Technique to create a bright cheerful card for spring.

I first saw this technique at our BackStage event in Las Vegas and couldn’t resist trying it with our little Bee Builder Punch (162553) when I saw the NEW Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 163469). This paper is filled with bold color and patterns.

If you haven’t seen this paper and the suite that went live earlier this month you’ll want to stop by my Online store and check it out. Online exclusives can be found in my Online Store and aren’t in our catalogs.

Want to see just how easy this fun technique is? Check out my video that I created to share with you for this card. I’ve also got a PDF for you too with everything you need to get creating.

Enjoy and then stop back tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a card that I made to share in Houston at our OnStage event.

NEW Online Exclusives for March & Organizational Items

Great news, we’ve got some fun new products that are available today but they can only be found in my Online Store!

Did you know that every 3 months Stampin’ Up! releases a group of products in our Online Store? These items are called Online Exclusives, not because that is the only way you can order them, but because they aren’t in our Annual or Mini Catalogs.

These products are while supplies last and are a wonderful addition to our catalog products. Why not check them out? I think you’ll love the options they have given us.
