Quick tip for keeping your washi tape collections together

  • Washi Tape Tip
  • Stampin' Up! Gift boxes
  • Final Week to order from current catalogs


Washi Tape Tip

Today I wanted to do a quick post with a tip for keeping your washi tape together with its name and product number for quick reference.  I need to know the name of the washi tape I'm using for card or project recipes, so I don't want to separate my rolls from the packaging labels.  I purchased from Office Depot a box of 2" Book Rings.  Then I save the front and back labels when I open the package and back each with a circle punched out of Whisper White Cardstock.          




Then I punch a small hole in each label, and add the washi tape and labels onto a 2" Book Ring.  This keeps them together for classes and the labels are available for easy reference when I'm looking for the name of the washi tape.   
  


Oh!  Did you notice the cute miniature Stampin' Up Shipping boxes sealed with Stampin' Up! Washi tape in the background of my first photo?  Why, YES!  These will be available in the new catalog.  These are so cute!  I just had to pick up this little UPS truck to use on my display tables with these cute Stampin' Up! shipping boxes.    



These miniature boxes fold together at the bottom. Note the upside down Stampin' Up! logo in the open package above.



Then you turn it over so the logo is right side up and seal the top with this darling stampin' Up! washi tape.  The Stampin' Up! logo tape is from the Follow Your Art washi tape collection.  You are going to love putting small treats or Stampin' Up! gift items in these boxes and giving them to the receptionist at the dentist office, the service representative at your car dealership, or the nurse at your doctor's office.  It's a great way to get a conversation started about Stampin' Up!

Another reminder:    Be sure to pick up any items on your Wish List retiring when the current catalogs -- both the annual catalog and the Occasions catalog -- expires on Jun 3.  You can begin ordering from the new catalogs on June 4.

Take a closer look at these items by clicking on the images below.  You'll be able to place an order for these items on June 4.  Add them to your wish list now!

Add Mini Shipping Boxes to your new catalog order


Are you working on your new catalog order?  I know I am.  I keep finding new things from the new Stampin' Up! catalog that I didn't notice on my first and second pass through the new catalog.  I'm definitely going to order more of these fun Mini Stampin' Up! Shipping Boxes and washi tape.  You'll want to have your Shopping List ready to place your order early in the ordering queue when the new catalog launches on June 4.   You can even select Overnight shipping or 2-Day shipping to get your new catalog order earlier.  Just select your shipping preference on the first page of your order. 

 Important information about ordering on June 4.  On June 4, 2019, ordering will be unavailable from 1 AM until 1 PM Central Time to transition the system to the new catalog.  Ordering from the new catalog will begin at 1 PM central of June 4

 Download this handy Shopping List which includes an index to key sections of the new catalog.  One change I've found really useful in this year's new Stampin' Up! catalog is a section towards the front of the new catalog listing all of the bundles in one place. If a bundle includes a suite of coordinating products, the page number is listed with the bundle.  This makes it so each to find all of the coordinating products, and to place an order that saves you money on your new bundles.  If you're looking for savings and a way to earn the most shopping rewards with your orders of $150+ (not including shipping and tax), bundles are a great way to maximize your purchases.  You save 10% when ordering a coordinating Stamp Set and Dies or Punches together as a bundle.

To A Wild Rose Stamp Set from Stampin' Up!

  • Sneak Peek of To A Wild Rose Bundle 
  • Coordinates with Wild Rose Dies
  • Hugs From Shelli Paper Pumpkin Kit

To A Wild Rose Stamp Set

Today I created cards showing the new To A Wild Rose Stamp Set.  This is a three-step stamp, but I've only used one of the three layers and hand-colored the image.  I've used the three-steps of the stamp in an earlier post, so you can see the versatility of this set.  This set includes a coordinating set of dies, called Wild Rose, which includes labels, two leaves, and open flower, and the large flower and flower center for this set.  Scroll to the list of items used to make this card, and click on one of the photos for a close up on the stamp set and dies.        




The cardstock colors on this card didn't photograph well.  I used Basic Gray as the basecard and for the leaves and flower outlines.  However, in the photo it looks black, rather than dark gray.  It's a beautiful combination in real life.   
  


As I mentioned, the basecard for this card is Basic Gray, then a layer of Petal Pink.  Then a laser-cut overlay from the Delightfully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper, which is about to retire on June 3, so be sure to include it in your final order from the current catalogs.  I didn't discover this paper until just recently, so I stocked up to make sure I had plenty on hand before the current catalogs retire.  I also checked Stampin' Up! inventory, and I'm happy to report that as of this evening, it is still in stock.  If you miss placing a final order from the current catalogs, you can recreate this look using the Laser-Cut Cards from the Bird Ballad Tin in the new catalog when ordering begins June 4.  



The rose image and the sentiment was stamped in Basic Gray on Whisper White.  The rose was die cut using the Wild Rose Dies.  The sentiment was die cut using one of the small Stitched Nested Labels Dies.  I colored the flower image with Calypso Coral Watercolor pencils and then use the Light Petal Pink Blends Marker to even out the tones.

     



For each card, I stamped three sets of the leaves in Basic Gray on Vellum cardstock and die cut them using the Wild Rose Dies.  The leaves are attached to the back of the rose using Mini Glue Dots.  The Rose is popped up on Dimensionals.    

The To A Wild Rose bundle -- stamps and dies-- is offered at a 10% savings over purchasing each separately.  Ordering from the new catalog begins on June 4.  Be sure to pick up any items on your Wish List retiring when the current catalogs -- both the annual catalog and the Occasions catalog -- expires on Jun 3.

Paper Pumpkin Fun 

I hope you're enjoying your May Paper Pumpkin Kit, Hugs from Shelli, as much as I am.  This kit includes 12 note cards in four different designs, and the papers and matching printed envelopes are so lovely.

As I was printing the stamp case insert for this month's Paper Pumpkin Kit, I thought what a cute gift set these cards would make in one of our acetate card boxes...but what to use as a cover.  Then I got the bright Idea of using a smaller version of this month's stamp case cover for the cover on the acetate card bos.  So I printed it out at 85%, cut it down to size, and found that it worked perfectly in the acetate card box.  What a great idea for a quick gift for a neighbor, or as a hostess gift.
Print the stamp case insert at 85% and insert it into the Acetate Card Case (144628)
for a quick gift holder for your Paper Pumpkin notecards

Full size stamp case cover is pictured on the right.  Printed at 85% and inserted into an acetate card box (144628) on the left.  Don't miss the next Paper Pumpkin Kit.  Order by June 10.
