Stampin' Up! Tin Tile Embossing Folder

I was so excited when Stampin' Up! released the carry-over list from the Holiday catalog late last year and learned that the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder was on that list.  Than I went ga-ga over all the Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration products and my poor Tin Tile Embossing Folder was move further and further back in my embossing folder file.  When I planned my upcoming March 3 Embossing Folder class, I originally planned to only showcase the new Country Florals embossing folder from the 2nd release of Sale-A-Bration Selections, but I stumbled across the Tin Tile Embossing Folder and I just couldn't resist making a card with this beautiful embossing folder and paired it with images from the new Painted Seasons Stamp Set.  I hope you fall in love with this embossing folder all over again the way I did.    

I used a basecard of Crumb Cake, then another layer of Crumb Cake dry embossed with the Tin Tile Embossing Folder.  I then used a Sponge Dauber and enhanced the embossing with Crumb Cake ink.      

Then I tried several different die cuts, and by the time I settled on which to use, I had built a beautiful layered sentiment area using dies from the Wonderful Floral Framelits Die Set, the Stitched Framelit Dies, the Detailed Trio Punch and a new punch that will become available to customers in just a few days (March 1) called the Story Label Punch, which is meant to coordinate with Sale-A-Bration items.  The final accent is the 3/16" Braided Linen Trim--another carryover from the Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog           

  

I used a Very Vanilla Die cut from Wonderful Florals Framelits as the base for my sentiment layer.  Then a Rich Razzleberry Die cut from the Stitched Framelits Dies. Then the sentiment from Butterfly Gala is stamped on a Very Vanilla layer punched out with the Story Label Punch. The edges of the punched sentiment layer is decorated using the Detailed Trio punch. The Old Olive leaves are die cut using the dies from the Wonderful Floral Framelits Dies.  Then, I stamped the two flowers from the Painted Seasons Stamp Set in Rich Razzleberry Ink onto Very Vanilla,  Although there is a new Four Seasons Framelits Dies set becoming available March 1, I don't' yet have it, and found I could quickly fussy cut my flowers for my two cards.   However, for making several more of these cards, I intend to order these coordinating dies as soon as possible.   I love working with Embossing Folders because they look impressive, with very little effort.

You're sure to find lots of uses for the Stampin' Up! Tile Tin Embossing Folder as you coordinate your cards with your new Occasions and Sale-A-Bration items...including the new items from the second release of Sale-A-Bration selections.   Place a $50 order today, and pick a free Sale-A-Bration selection from the Sale-A-Bration Brochures.

Stampin' Up! Fable Friends Stamp Set

• Stampin' Up! Fable Friends Cards
• Gingham 6" X 6" Specialty Designer Paper
• No more simple, boring cards!

Stampin' Up! Fable Friends

I've previewed this card on my blog a couple days ago, because we're going to make this as one of the cards in our card class this Sunday.  However, today I wanted to give your the recipe for making this cute Stampin' up! Fable Friends card.  As soon as I saw these cute ducks in early November, I knew I had to have this stamp set.  I love the cute raincoats these ducks are wearing. Paired with the Gingham papers and organdy ribbons, this card just makes me smile.  The Fable Friends Stamp Set and the Gingham paper are from the Occasions catalog and the Organdy Ribbon Pack, currently out of stock, but should be available again March 4 is a free selection from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.   

I used a basecard of Thick Whisper White, then a layer of Balmy Blue, and then a layer of Gingham 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper.    

Then I used a Whisper White layer for my image layer, starting with a piece large enough to stamp the largest, mother duck.  I colored the ducks using Blends alcohol-based Markers.  Then I cut the Whisper White down to 2-1/4" wide, fussy cutting around the largest ducks head.  I also added some blends markers around each ducks feet to "ground" them.         

  

I then die cut a large Pumpkin Pie circle with the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies and stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy ink.  I layered it behind the large duck's head and under the Whisper White image layer.  

I die cut a Daffodil Delight border shape using one of the Doily Builder Thinlits Dies.  Its layered under the bottom right of the Whisper White image layer.  Then I assembled the upper layers and added a Balmy Blue piece of organdy ribbon to the left side of the card before adding the upper layers to the Thick Whisper White basecard. While the Organdy Ribbon pack is currently sold out and can not be ordered right now, it is expected for be back in stock around March 4.  Be sure to save one of your $50 orders so you can order this selection before the end of Sale-A_Bration to match your Gingham papers -- a must ,in my opinion, for spring projects

You're One in Chameleon Valentine Paper Pumpkin Kit

• Stampin' Up! Valentine fun
• You're one in a Chameleon
• Celebrate Paper Pumpkin 6th birthday with TWO stamp sets

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Kit

If you've ever wondered what fun a Paper Pumpkin Kit looks like, here are some samples from the January Paper Pumpkin kit -- just in time for Valentine's Day!   I like to take a little creative license with my Paper Pumpkin kits.  For the most part, all of the items are from the kit, but I added some of our White Polka Dot Organdy ribbon to give my Paper Pumpkin Treat kits a little flair...and I just love the expression on the Chameleons in this kit 

The best news is that subscriptions to Paper Pumpkin earn free selections from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.   

With  this kit, the heart die cuts, the sentiment labels and the chameleons were all part of the kit.  Additionally, the kit included the treat pouches, which I filled with little bags of Jelly Heart candies before adding the ribbons.

This kit also included these cute die cut kangaroos.  And, if it looks familiar, it is because these images coordinate with the Animal Outing stamp set from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.    

This cute kit includes 24 treat packages and die cuts.  Plus the stamp set and the ink spot in Lovely Lipstick.  I'm not using all of mine for Valentines.  I'm saving some  for a child's Birthday party where I can fill them with small toys.  I'm so glad I'll have these on hand for use now, and for when I need them later.
  

Paper Pumpkin subscriptions are fun to add to your Stampin' supplies because it means you always have crafts on hand to take with you when you're sitting in the car repair waiting room or travelling across country and don't have a lot of room to pack craft supplies.  Although the kits include complete instructions, you can easily add your own creative flair by reworking the included products into other projects. 

 Order your subscription now.

Stampin' Up! Buterfly Gala Stamp Set is perfect for a little note

• Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala
• Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper is a free Sale-A-Bration pick
• Join Stampin' Up!;  New Demonstrators select $175 in products for $99

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala Stamp Set

I've been playing a little bit with the beautiful papers from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper, but today, I really had fun with the different butterflies in this paper.  There is so much variety.  I decided to make two cards and selected butterflies with a Heather Highland shades and Granny Apple Green for one and Daffodil Delight and Granny APple Green for the other.  I also used two different sentiments from the Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala Stamp Set -- highlighting one on each card.  The Butterfly Gala Stamp Set is from the Occasions catalog and the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper is a free selection with a $50 order from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.   

Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala Stamp Set

I used a basecard of Soft Sea Foam.  Then I used one of the striped patterns from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series papers and one of the prints from the same paper pack to create a center panel.  I only used 3/4" strips of the striped material as the back side of the paper is filled with Butterflies I wanted to use on other projects. 

Butterflies from Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper

The butterflies are from two different prints in Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper.  I hand cut them out the the paper and then used a Granny Apply Green Blends or a Daffodil Delight Blends pen to color the Balmy Blue or Grapefruit Grove boarders so they better matched the background paper.  For one card, I selected Butterflies with mostly yellow shades.  For the other card, I selected Butterflies with Heather Highland shades.         

  

Sentiments from Stampin' Up! Butterfly Gala Stamp Set

I used a strip of Basic Black cardstock for the sentiment.  Using sentiments from Stampin' Up! BUtterfly Gala Stamp Set, I heat embossed the sentiments with White embossing powder, and then cut them to fit across the top of the largest butterflies tips.  These large butterflies we towards the edges o the paper and the tips were cut off, however, you would never know it after I positioned the sentiment across the tips to cover these parts of the image.

I added Granny Apple Green Glitter Enamel Dots to each edge of the Basic Black sentiment.

If you like something you see, order it as soon as possible.  Back in November when I saw all of the wonderful Butterfly items in the Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs, I knew I was going to order everything!  Butterflies are very popular in our catalogs, and sales of these new butterflies --as expected--have been booming!  As mentioned earlier, the Butterfly punch is out of stock.  Stampin' Up! had ordered 4 times the quantities of a normal yearly inventory for a punch, when they realized how popular this punch was going to be after Demonstrator pre-orders and early Sale-A-Bration orders began.  And it still wasn't enough!  Stampin' Up! is waiting for word on when the next order will arrive, but due to the time it takes to order punches, it looks like it might be towards the end of Sale-A-Bration before this punch is back in stock.  But don't worry.  This punch will carry over after Sale-A-Bration, so be sure to add it to your Wish List to order as soon as it become available again.  I'll let you know when new stock arrives.

Need to place on order, today?  Remember that each $50 order earns you a free Sale-A-Bration selection.  Today's Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper would make a great, free Sale-A-Bration selection with your $50 order.
