New Pop-Up Petals Stamps and Dies from Stampin' Up!

 

Hi Stamping Friends! Today I want to share a card that we made at Stamp Camp last week.  This card uses the new Pop-Up Petals bundle.  The dies create a fun little pop-up element to the inside of the card. 

While the pop-up is a rather simple one, I just love how the dies made it effortless and perfect every time. I have made a pop-up like this many times with an Exacto blade or by carefully using my paper trimmer, but this was quick and easy, with no accidentally cutting to far or not quite far enough.  

The stamp set is very cute. I love the variety of flowers and the cute sentiments. 

 

 The dies cut out all the images and includes two sizes of pop-up cuts. The little odd shapes at the bottom of this photo are flaps. You can add the flaps to the sides of the box for extra cuteness! 

 

 

 

 

 I added the 'Just A Note' dies to the front of the card because I just LOVE that cute little torn piece of notebook paper! This is a fun die set to have, the little arrows and elements are great for journaling on scrapbook pages or to add a cute touch to your cards. 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                             Here it is in action! 

 I made a full how to for this card on my YouTube channel with some tips and tricks for getting it perfect. 

 

                             Here is another cute card using this set from the Stampin' Up! website.

Christmas Greenery Bundle

 

I really love the dies in the Christmas Greenery bundle. The large sizes really make a statement and will be fun to use on some scrapbook pages as well. This card is actually a copy of one straight out of the catalog.  I thought it looked really pretty and so I copied it almost exactly.  In the end, seeing it in real life, it is even prettier.  I don't often do a white base card, but I am glad that I did because it looks great and really lets the die cuts be the starts of the show.  

 The stamped floral in the very back of the card gives a nice anchor for all the die cuts layered on top. I stamped the floral image in pool party so that the image shows in the top left and bottom right corners. The stamp is larger, so they do overlap in the middle, but that's OK because it will be covered with the strip of designer paper.  

The greenery is cut from Secret Sea, Old Olive, Gold Foil and Secret Sea Glitter paper, which is just gorgeous in person!!   

That little die cut bow is darling. It cuts on one die in three pieces, which I glued together.  The fact that it is in three pieces may seem unnecessary but stacking and gluing them really gives it so much more dimension and it really is cute.   I also added some red shimmer with the glitter dots. 

I have a full how to video for this card on my YouTube Channel below. 

 As I mentioned, this is a copy from a photo in the catalog, so I couldn't see how the inside looked. I decided that since the base is white I wanted to bring a little more to the inside.  I created a layered area for a written message by layering some Real Red and Basic White, and brought some more of the die cuts from the Christmas Greenery dies inside.  I also added some gold foil so the inside is just as elegant as the outside. 

 

I was just looking at the Stampin' Up! online store and the Christmas Greenery bundle is on Back-order, but it is scheduled to be back in-stock next week, so not too long. Did you know that if you log into the site and click on a back-ordered item, you can ask for an email to let you know when it is back in stock! That's great so you don't miss it again, because I think there is a possibility that it will sell out again.  It will look like this, except of course with your email address :) 

 Have you heard about Stampin' Up!'s new Craft Classes? They are a super fun virtual class focused around a product line. So far there are two different classes available. One is focused around this Traditions of Christmas suite of products.  I took the class and found it really well done.  Before class started I pre-cut all my cardstock and die pieces per the instructions.  Then I poured myself a coffee and grabbed some snacks and settled in for a fun craft time.  The class makes 4 projects, 3 cards and 1 home decor project. The video is almost three hours, so I decided to break it into two chunks of 2 projects each. The instructors were the designers of the products so it was really interesting to hear them talk about the thoughts behind the pieces.  The instructors gave some great tips and techniques for using the dies and stamps and I learned a lot. 

I'm not sure if I am allowed to show the full projects but this is a sneak peek at them from the website image. They were all gorgeous and I will use the home decor piece this Christmas and many more.  During the video one of the instructors was making the projects as the instructions said, while another was making them slightly different, so you could see other versions. I really liked that.  Also, the class is in a private facebook group, and people were sharing some of their alternative projects using other colors or other papers if they didn't have the exact products used in the class.  The class was $30 and I thought is was worth it.  I did already have all the needed products though.  Keep an eye out for future Craft Classes. There is a new one just announced using a different suite of products. You can see it in the online store here.

Two New Kits Released Today!

 

Two new kits were added to the Online store today! Did you know that two new kits are added each month? How fun.  Kits are great to take with you if you go away for an extended time, or to a friends house as an activity to do together. Maybe you spend a lot of time in a waiting room or lounge as kids are doing sports or an activity. Or maybe you just like to have a few kits on hand to whip up a card fast or have several on hand. The great thing about kits is that everything you need is right in the box, including adhesives or inks if needed.  There is a great variety of kits too! Be sure to check out the whole collection. 

The Adventure Awaits kit Makes 9 cards for only $14!  I really like the printed envelopes and super cute images on this kit. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This kit has pre-printed sentiments, so no need for added inks and stamps, perfect for a quick and easy craft time.  I like the 'cruising to another year' sentiment.  That would be good for someone into older cards, like my dad.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Everyday Beauty kit is just that, Beautiful! I really like the colors and touches of gold.  And do you see the little wax seals?  such a fun touch.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The Everyday Beauty kit makes 9 cards for $25. Slightly higher because this kit has a stamp set, stamping block and ink spot included. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another great thing about the kits with stamps and inks is that over time, you will have a really nice collection of sentiments and ink colors to use on other projects.
