New at SU: Gift Card Holders

Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin! Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin! with creative paper-crafting ideas to share with you. Today, we are featuring Gift Card Holders.

It's the same thing every year. I shop and wrap and think I'm all ready but then I realize I never picked up the gift cards. So I send my husband for the gift cards and I whipped out a few holders. That's why my favorite gift card holder is quick, easy, and economical.

I love this holder because you can get 3 bases out of one sheet of 8 1/2 by 11 cardstock and then you can make them super simple or really fancy. I tend to make mine simple because my son and my nephews are more interested in the gift card than the packing. 

For the cardstock base, you'll cut 3 bases each will be 8 1/2 by 3 1/2 inches.

Score on the long side at 2 inches and then flip and score the opposite end at 2 1/2 inches.

Put some tear and tape on the 2 1/2 inch flap, on the sides to make the pocket.

I used the Painted Christmas Designers Series Paper. Cut 1 piece of each size.

I stamped the leaves and Berries with the Christmas Season stamp Set and the sentiment is from the Ringed with Nature stamp Set.

I used the Tree Rings Hybrid Embossing Folder to cut and emboss a piece of Soft Suede Cardstock. I stamped the flower with Poppy Parade. I colored the rhinestones with a Daffodil Delight Blends Alcohol Ink Marker.

New At SU: Simply Sale-a-Bration!

 

Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin! Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin! with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today, we are featuring Sale-A-Bration products and we are #simplestamping using only stamps, ink, and paper and ONE accessory OR tool (not both)... and at least one of those items is a Sale-a-Bration product.

 # Simplestamping is a lot harder than it sounds! When you have a craft room full of tools and accessories that you want to use. It's a lot harder than it sounds. I made 6 different cards using various Sale-A-Bration products before I created one that was simple.

The Sale-A-Bration product that I used is the Wonderful World Stamp Set and Designer Series Paper. Remember Sal-A-Bration products are FREE with a qualifying purchase and they are limited to while supplies last or August 31, 2022, whichever comes first

I stamped the background on a thick Basic White cardstock using Starry Sky Classic Stampin' Ink. I used the Deckled Rectangles dies to cut a piece of Starry Sky cardstock and a smaller piece of Basic White

After I stamped the flower image with Starry Sky ink, I stamped a second image and fussy cut the top of the flower and popped it up with a dimensional. 

For my second card, I used a piece of the Wonderful World DSP. I used the Sending Dies from the Sending Smiles bundles to cut my sentiment and sentiment strip.

New at SU: Sending Smiles In Colors

 

Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin! Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin! with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today, we are showcasing the new  Stampin' Up! 2022-2024 In-Colors. Every year when Stampin' Up! introduces their new annual catalog they also debut a collection of 5 new In-Colors. This year I immediately fell in love with all the new colors. That has never happened before. I always have one favorite but this year I love them all!! 

I used the new Sending SMiles stamp set to create this card and 3 of the new colors. The base is Parakeet Party with a layer of the new In-color Designer Series Paper(DSP) I ran the Basic White through the die-cut machine so I would have a little stitching on the edge and then I used my Stamparatus to get the perfect placement of my stamps. Since this Birthday card is for my mom I have to add a little Bling because my mom loves the Bling! I used the new In- Color dots and the Brass Butterflies

I love the new Limited Edition Stamp set. I will probably stamp every envelope I sed with the Paper Hug from Me stamp. 

This is a card I created for my mom for Mother's Day I used the New Tahitian Tide cardstock and Ink and a small piece of the  DSP

To give my card a little more visual interest I used the Stitched Hismy dies for the stitching on the mat. I stamped the Sunflower  from the Celebrating Sunflowers Stamp Set in TT on so saffron and cut it out, then I layer a basic white scalloped flower die cut and popped the center up with a dimensional

New at SU Seas The Day

 New at SU Monthly Blog Hop

Welcome to our NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin! Up! demonstrators from around the world who are Hoppin! with creative paper crafting ideas to share with you. Today, we are showcasing Stampin' Up! products by CASEing the Catalog. CASE means Copy And Share Everything. So today we are all selecting a sample from the Stampin' Up 2021-2022 Annual Catalog to CASE but changing it up some with new products from the Stampin' Up! January to June Mini Catalog. 

My choice from the annual catalog is on page 12. This is the card that convinced me I needed the Layering Diorama Dies!  I picked it so I can play with my new dies and I decided to use a few different products from the January to June Mini Catalog. I  kept the basic design and colors but made it a Shadow Box Card and change the greenery and fish to items from the Seas the Day Stamp Set.

My CASE

I watched a lot of videos on YouTube on how to make Shadow Box cards. I made a prototype from some cheap paper so I could play around with the placement of the diorama dies and the Gentle Waves background stamp.  I used the Gentle Waves with Balmy Blue classic Stampin' Ink on Balmy Blue Cardstock. I used temporary adhesive to hold the box together while I decide on the placement of all the elements and I used the liquid glue to adhere everything on layers 1 and 2 before I used the permanent adhesive on the box. 

I adhered the greenery and the sentiment strip after the box was completely assembled and glued.

The photos really don't show the box or layers so here is a 40-second video so you can see the box and layers.
