Stampin’ UP! Party Puffins with 4 x 4 DSP Tip Video Tutorial

November 16, 2022

I have an old paper cutting tip to share with you today! It takes only a 4″ x 4″ piece of DSP to fill the front of your card! The Stampin’ UP! Black & White Designs DSP has some cool patterns that can be flipped and matched up. But you can do this technique with any DSP you want- using one piece of 4″ x 4″ on one card using the front and back or the same pattern or make two cards using different patterns like these cards.

That puffin is just too cute! Check out my video showing how I put these together…

So many fun ways to put the diagonal strip on the middle of the card. Take a look at these cards where I mixed and matched the card bases, diagonals strips and it appears the DSP.

That cute little “bowtie” is a sneak peek of a kite tie from the upcoming Stampin’ UP! Playing in the Rain Dies that I showcased at the Onstage event in Pittsburgh last week. Doesn’t it look so cute on the puffin?

Here is the inside of the cards…I noticed when I was uploading it that one of the candle flames was missing…oops!

Measurements: Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ on the 11, DSP: 4″ x 4″ cut as seen in video, Basic White or black panel for mounting DSP and inside: 4″ x 5-1/4″, Diagonal strip: 7/8″ x 6-1/2″, Scraps for ovals and banners

Stampin’ Up! Welcome Easter Spinner Card Video Tutorial

February 19, 2020

My friend Wendy is going to be a grandma again in August!!
I think I have to change the color to pink but I know this will be a winner…
or should I say “spinner?”

Here is a video on how easy it is to make…minus my fumbling around with the fishing line…I think I need a stronger line and should attach the blue circles to the fishing line FIRST and then attach the fishing line to the card on the top and bottom. I am saying this since I was too frazzled to do another video showing that! Remember that you can learn what not to do as much as what to do when you learn a new technique…lol.

Measurements:
Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side
Whisper White inside and outside border: 4″ x 5-1/4″

Stampin’ Up Hand Lettered Prose Dies in a Frame

July 5, 2019

It may seem simple but…it did take a little time!

Ever since the catalog came out, I have been itching to make a frame using
the Stampin’ Up Hand Lettered Prose Dies.

I finally did it!!

My suggestion is to cut all your Rococo Rose letters, then your Pear Pizzazz letters, then your Pool Party letters, and then your So Saffron letters. The opening on this frame from Ikea is 5″ x 7″ just like in the catalog sample. I drew a pencil outline on my black cardstock of the opening. I arranged the letters so they fit and glued down the Z first. Then I lifted each letter one at a time and adhered it to the black cardstock. In the small spaces scattered throughout, I used the stitched felt embellishments from the Follow Your Art embellishment Kit.

My first time using the Stampin’ Up Hand Lettered Prose Dies- I love them!
The stamp set they are bundled with is super cute- it is called Praiseworthy Prose.

But the dies are a great value for stand alone alphabet dies with the addition of symbols, too.

Thanks for buzzing by, friends…

I had a request to make a “W” card with a video. So I picked out the Stampin’ Up
A Little Wild stamp set that has some images that play well together:)

A thank you to Jan Brown for her design of a “W” card. She is from the UK, not Australia:)

Here is a video of how I made my card using the Stampin’ Up A Little Wild, the Tropical Chic Stamp Set and the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper.

I am heading to Charlotte this weekend for the Stampin’ Up On Stage Convention! As a demonstrator, I get to see the upcoming Annual catalog early
and see and play with new products. I will try to share some things if I can but usually we are limited so the big surprise comes later!

Remember April 15th:
Annual Catalog and Occasions Catalog Retiring List comes out so
be sure to check back here on Monday!
Stampin’ Up retires about 1/2 of the catalog to make room for new stuff!

Heads Up….the Stampin’ Up Trimmer is retiring…along with the accessories- blades etc.
Stampin’ Up will have a new cutter sometime this year. If you have a trimmer and want to get some replacement blades while they are in stock,

Stampin’ Up Sweet Baby with Well Said Squash Fold Fun Fold Video Tutorial

March 20, 2019

I have a cute card for you today to celebrate a new little one…

I used the Stampin’ Up Sweet Baby Bundle along with the Stampin’ Up Well Said Bundle
to make this Squash Fold Fun Fold Card.

See how cute it is when it is opened?

So easy to make…watch this video to see how to make one…

In the video, I adhered the yellow onesie to the upper part of the triangle on the lower quadrant but on the photo above, I did it on the lower tirangle part. I guess you can do it either way, and it folds. Just do not adhere to both sides of the score line!
