Plus 8-Piece Stamp Set

After the kit supplies are exhausted, the fun stamp set will help create more projects. This set includes images and happy sentiments — a perfectly balanced set. Just add card stock and embellishments from your personal collection to create more projects.

 

Pair with Another Favorite Stamp Set

The fruit slice creates a fun background when stamped tone-on-tone using Mango Melody ink and card stock. A pretty label from the Tasteful Labels groups the collection of cocktails, fruit slice and die cut.  Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and Calypso Coral have been added with Blending Brushes, while Black/white Bake’s Twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack holds the label.

Fun "W" Fold Birthday card featuring Stampin' Up! Butterfly Brilliance Collection

Here’s a fun “W” fold birthday card that is kind of remarkable. Definitely unforgettable.

What makes this unforgettable “W” fold birthday card with Butterfly Brilliance even more remarkable is that it’s definitely easy to recreate. The “W” panel construction just requires three scores that are folded into two “valley” folds and one “mountain” fold. When observed from the top, you can see the “W” formation that can display a storyline message with words or images. It really will be a birthday keeper.

Here’s a peek inside.

View the step-by-step tutorial here on my YouTube channel. I provide card measurements, supplies and simple instructions so you can easily recreate this fun fold card.

2021-2022 Annual Catalog Early Release

The fun fold was paired with an amazing butterfly collection that will be included in Stampin’ Up!’s annual catalog. The Butterfly Brilliance stamp set is a single stamp with six connected detailed butterflies. The coordinating die set includes 12 dies. One single die cuts the six stamped butterflies at once. The set includes eight more butterfly dies plus three “texture” dies to create background interest.

Beautiful Birthday Sentiments

The Butterfly Bouquet is an amazing collection, but there’s something missing. Sentiments! I paired the birthday card with the lovely Happy Thoughts, a Million Dollar stamp set recognizing a successful demonstrators $1M sales. This is a beautiful stamp set to add to the go-to collection.

Stampin' Up! | Just Stamp Gilded Art Gallery Fun Fold Thank You Card

Transform a clean card design with gilded gold leafing into a beautiful work of art from the heart in 5 steps or less!

You’ve seen gold accents on pieces of art. Frames sometimes have gold decoration, and sometimes the gold is right in a painting itself. This is the art of gilding, or applying a thin leaf of gold. It’s been used in art for centuries.

Today I’ve taken a simple design with a fun fold and applied gold leaf. This makes a beautiful card to express gratitude. The BEST thing is gilding can be done in 5 steps or LESS!

Here’s What You Need

  • Gilded Leafing Embellishment #154560
  • VersaMark Pad #102283
  • Heat & Stick Powder #156110
  • Heat Tool #129053
  • Stamping Sponge #141337

Stampin' Up! Gilded Leafing Embellishment Stampin' Up! Versamark Stampin' Up! Heat & Stick Powder Stampin' Up! Heat Tool Stampin' Up! Stamping Sponges

5 Steps to Gilding Gold on Your Projects

  1. Stamp the image base in a selected color
  2. Stamp the image detail using VersaMark
  3. Apply Heat & Stick Powder
  4. Heat and melt the powder
  5. Add the gold leafing, rubbing off the excess with the Stamping Sponge

Watch the How-To Video

View the step-by-step tutorial here on my YouTube channel. Watch through to the end for all the measurements, steps and tips. You’ll even learn an alternate way to gild using Tear & Tape. Gilding with gold leaf takes just a few minutes, but the result is stunning.

Fine Art Floral Suite

Today’s gilded project features the Fine Art Floral Suite, now available.

Just Stamp | DIY Desktop Calendar/Notes Center

There’s nothing better than an easy calendar project for the new year. This DIY calendar and notes center rests on the desktop to house a calendar, supply of sticky notes and a super cute ice cream cone pen that coordinates with the Sweet Ice Cream theme from Stampin’ Up! Tuck the tools away in the center and you’ll always have your writing materials at the ready.

This DIY desktop calendar and notes center was demonstrated during this week’s Friday Facebook Live. In case you missed the Facebook Live, I have added the edited video demonstrating how to make it. Alternately, you can skip over to my YouTube Channel so you catch all the projects I offer. Be sure to subscribe while you’re there.

 


 

Here’ a peek of the side view. The easel base construction helps the calendar stay upright, while the side loop holds the pen in place.
