more color mondays – swing and sway in poppy parade, crushed curry and copper clay

by | Dec 25, 2023 | card samples, color challenge, Designer Series Paper, embossing folders, fun fold, more color mondays, new catalog, Sale-a-bration, scrapbooking, sneak peak, special offer, techniques

Merry Christmas everyone!! I hope you had a great morning filled with lots of fun and I’m glad you are able to sneak away for a little crafting time!

Today’s More Color Monday Color Challenge is a very fun movement card as well!

This Swing and Sway card is inspired by fellow demonstrator Susan C. and I loved her card so i decided to make my own version with the upcoming Trusty Tools bundle in the 2024 January to April Mini Catalog and the coordinating DSP is something you can EARN FOR FREE during Sale-a-bration coming in January and February!

Measurements:
BASE: Poppy Parade CS 5 1/2″ x 10 1/4″
scored at 4 1/4″, 7 1/4″ and 9″
embossed layer: 1″ x 5 1/4″
mechanism piece: 1/2″ x 2″
DSP layers: 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ and 2″ x 5 1/4″
scraps for tool cut outs
Basic White layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″
scrap for sentiment
Holographic Trio scrap for wrench die cut
Oxidized Copper Specialty paper: scrap for peg
board die cut

Score the 5 1/2″ x 10 1/4″ card at 4 1/4″, 7 1/4″ and 9″. Fold into a mountain fold at the 4 1/4″ score line and the 9″ score line. Fold into a valley fold at the 7 1/4″ score line.
Place the Basic White layer on the inside of the card. Fussy cut a small tool and adhere to the bottom right corner of the Basic White cardstock layer.
On the inside of the card, adhere the 2″ x 5 1/4″ piece of DSP in the second panel from the left edge.
Adhere the 3″ x 5 1/4″ piece of DSP on the outside of the card just to the left of the center 4 1/4″ fold.
Run the 1″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Poppy Parade cardstock through the Geometric Patterns embossing folder in the triangular pattern andadhere to the outside 1 1/4″ edge of the card.
Place a small Stampin’ Dimensional about 3/4″ from the top edge.
Die cut the 1/2″ x 2″ mechanism piece with the reinforcer circles from the Tailor Made Tags Dies set. Place the mechanism over the Stampin’ Dimensional.
Die cut the peg board out of the Oxidized Copper Specialty paper and fussy cut two tools from the DSP. Die cut the wrench out of the Holographic trio specialty paper to look like metal.
Adhere the tools to the peg board die and adhere the mechanism to the back of the peg board with the circle sticking out above the top end about 3/4 of an inch.
Peel the backing paper off of the Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.

Stamp the sentiment in Copper Clay ink on a 1/2″ strip of Basic White paper.

Punch the sentiment piece with the Banners pick a punch and adhere to the Stampin’ Dimensional.
Because the sentiment piece is only adhered to the Stampin’ Dimensional and the peg board die piece hangs freely around the Stampin’ Dimensional inbetween the peg board piece and the card it hands and swings and sways with ease!
Such a fun and interactive card!

Try this fun fold movement card with what you have in your stampin’ stash!

Now go and create a fun card of your very own – one stamp at a time!

happy stampin’

Isn’t this paper awesome and what is better than awesome – FREE! Yep you can earn this paper for FREE starting on January 4th through February 29th! Our annual Sale-a-bration is back and will be better than ever!

Today’s tutorial is inspired by a very creative demonstrator in my indirect line named Susan C., she creates a lot of unique fun folds and this is one I worked out my own measurements for using our new sale-a-bration DSP called Flight and Airy!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
Layers: (2) 2 1/2″ x 3 3/4″ will emboss these
(1) 3 3/4″ x 5″
Boho Blue CS Layers: (2) 2 3/4″ x 4″
(1) 4″ x 5 1/4″
DSP: 1″ x 5 1/4″ and 4″ x 6″

Emboss the Basic White layers in the Painted Posies 3D embossing folder.
Layer the large layer onto the 4″x 5 1/4″ Boho Blue layer.
Score the 4 1/4″ x 11″ base at 5 1/2″.

Adhere those layers to the card front.

Adhere the DSP 1″ layer to the card front.
Add three Brushed Brass Butterflies to the card front above the embossed posies.
Adhere the smaller embossed Basic White layers to the 2 3/4″ x 4″ pieces of Boho Blue cardstock.
Adhere each layer to the outside edges of the inside of the card leaving an evenly spaced border of about 1/8″ around the top sides and bottom edges.
Score the 4″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper on the 6″ side at 1 3/4″ 3″ and 4 1/4″. Fold the 1 3/4″ score line into a Valley fold, the 3″ score line into a Mountain fold and the 4 1/4″ into a Valley fold, (it will look like a W from the side).
Adhere the left hand edge of the DSP to the right hand side of the embossed layer on the left side of the card. Evenly space the DSP about 1/8″ from the top and bottom and from the right hand edge of the Boho Blue cardstock edge.
Adhere the right hand panel down in the same way on the other side of the card making sure that the edges top, bottom and the right hand edge are about 1/8″ spaced evenly apart.
I wanted to use the Best Birthday Wishes sentiment from one of our upcoming stamp sets in the new mini catalog also available January 4th called Stippled Rose. It was longer than my thin banner die in Stylish Shapes so I used a technique called partial die cutting to extend the die. I have detailed this technique before but basically I stamped the image and then lined up the cutting plate about halfway along the die and only cut half of it then I reversed the cutting plate to the other side and moved the die and extended the middle – it’s like pulling taffy! It stretches the die not technically but it allows you to cut each side separately and extend the middle portion!
I added some color around the edges with Boho Blue ink and a blending brush and popped the sentiment piece up on Stampin’ Dimensionals and added it over the 1″ strip of Flight and Airy DSP on the card front to finish off the front of the card!
The card stands on it’s own for display which is VERY COOL!
I added some Brushed Brass Butterflies to the side panels to finish off the inside display! I love the way this turned out!

Try this new fun fold today with some of the paper you have around! Go create some art of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

last chance list – o holy night suite collection

last chance list – o holy night suite collection

by | Dec 1, 2023 | card samples, Christmas card ideas, Designer Series Paper, embossing folders, retiring products, stamps ink paper

It is always sad to see favorite sets and quality products retire and go away – but the good news is that it makes way for new and equally as exciting products! And as a demonstrator I already received the new catalogs that are on their way to you in a few weeks and they are fun ones filled to the brim with loads of new ideas and stamps and coordinating products!!!

Today’s blog post focuses on one of the gorgeous suites that will be retiring and going away – it is only available while supplies last! and best yet some of the products are ON SALE!!

Night Divine dies #161996 was $27 now $24.30
Stars At Night hybrid folder (dies and EF)
#162006 was $39 now $27.30

Sadly both the Designer Series papers in the suite are already sold out as is the star trinkets! So if you love one of the bundles in the suite time is of the essence!

The Stars At Night bundle comes with our hybrid Embossing folder which means that one or more of the dies fits into the inside of the embossing folder and you can die cut and emboss in one pass through the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine!

Place the die in the grooves over the matching stars on the inside of the folder with the Stampin’ Up logo printed on it cutting side up.
Place the paper right side towards the cutting blade and close the folder over the paper. In the case of the Holographic Trio Specialty paper this makes a difference as you want to emboss the correct side of the paper!
I stamped one of the sentiments in Night of Navy ink on Basic White cardstock and die cut with the matching die.
Since the card base is Night of Navy I added a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White card stock layer to the card inside and popped up the sentiment onto the layer. I normally do not add dimension to the inside of the card but thought it would be something fun and different.
I added one of the holographic embossed and die cut stars to the left hand side of the inside of the card.
I love the O Holy Night graphic designs but they sold out very quickly!
I cut a 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer for the card front, adhered it on and popped up the smallest die cut star to the scene in the sky!
I took the top half of that piece of DSP and created another card with the bundle!

I added largest star to the card front after adhering the other 4″ x 5 1/4″ layer pf DSP to the card front and added Iridescent Rhinestones Basic Jewels around the star. I stamped the linear sentiment to a 1/4″ scrap strip and brushed ink on with a blending brush and popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals!

I didn’t want to waste any of the grogeous Holographic Trio paper so I used the negative to highlight the matching star on one of the other DSP sheets.
I added three blue Iridescent Pastel Gems to the Holographic paper and secured the retiring White Iridescent ribbon to finish the Smoky Slate card base.
The last card in this series from the Stars at Night bundle uses another scenic paper from the discontinued O Holy Night DSP and die cut a star in the top right hand corner.
I embossed the die cut out in the embossing folder and popped it up on Stampin’ Dimsionals after adhering the 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ DSP to a Crumb Cake base.

I stamped the linear sentiment across the light sand in Night of Navy ink for contrast and added Iridescent Pastel Gems to finish the card with some bling.

If you need this set or bundle do not delay they will sell out and soon!

Now go and create the rest of your Christmas Cards one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
