Coming In May — Fresh New Colors!

Greetings my stamping friends.

At Stampin’ Up!, we’re all about creativity and sharing what we love with those we love. And that means providing a compelling selection of high-quality craft supplies in coordinating colors and designs. We’re always working to not only meet trends but set them. That means evaluating and even refreshing our current products—and this year we’re refreshing our complete color collection!

You’ll find some new friends and returning favorites among our Brights, Neutrals, Regals and Subtles. And you won’t want to miss our new 2023–2025 In Colors. We hope you’re as excited as we are to start crafting with these fresh new colors and to share them with your fellow crafting enthusiasts.

With a color refresh, some colors will retire, some favorites from past In Color collections will return and then we have some brand new colors as well, and of course every year we get five new In Colors that will be available for a two-year period.

Here is a video that will provide you with a sneak peek of the Color Refresh and our returning favorites:

Thank you for stopping by today. Until next time, stamp on my friends.

A Mistletoe Magic Christmas

Greetings my stamping friends! I received my three groups of swap cards this week and apologize for the delay in sharing them with you. I had one of my infusions last Thursday which knocks me down for about a week, but I am ready to get into the craft room and share lots of great projects with you.

I am going to share with you first the card that I made using the Mistletoe Magic Bundle which you can find on page 15 of the July to December 2022 Mini Catalog.

I used a piece of Soft Sea Foam card stock as my top layer piece which I inked at the bottom with the same color of ink with a Blending Brush to create an ombre look. I colored my die cut mistletoe with Stampin’ Blends and added Wink of Stella to the berries to add a little extra bling. I wrapped a piece of linen thread around the branch a few times and finished it off with a bow. It was a fairly quick and easy card, but looks quite elegant in real life.

Here are the Stampin’ Up! products that you will need to recreate this card. I have included thumbnails with hyperlinks to make adding them to your shopping cart a breeze:

Product List

If you have any questions regarding dimensions of this project, do not hesitate to ask me.

Here are the projects that I received from the other participants in the Grow. Stamp. Lead. swap. If you want specifications of the products used on any of these cards, just ask me.

I hope you enjoyed this collection of cards. It’s always exciting to see the variety of cards I get back from my fellow demonstrators.

All of these projects used products that are available now in the July to December 2022 Mini Catalog and/or the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. If you need a copy of either catalog, just ask and I would be happy to send you one by mail. Or if you happen to live nearby, I can leave one for you on my front porch for pickup.

Don’t forget that between now and August 31, 2022 that Stampin’ Up! is celebrating SALE-A-BRATION which means that you earn FREE select products for every $50 you buy (before taxes and shipping). There is also a brochure for those products which I can provide to you as well. These catalogs can also be accessed electronically when you select SHOP NOW from my menu above.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you leave here inspired to put stamps to ink to paper. Until next time, stamp on my friends.

Boughs of Holly Suite

Greetings my stamping friends! I am sharing with you today another Christmas card I created using new products from the July to December 2022 Mini Catalog. This project uses items from the Boughs of Holly Suite collection which you will find starting at page 24 of the Mini Catalog.

I love when Stampin’ Up! puts a suite of products together for us. Don’t you? I mean their products coordinate so well together on their own but grouping them in suites just makes it so much easier to create beautiful projects.

Okay, here is today’s project!

This design came together fairly quickly after I narrowed down the pattern of designer series paper I wanted to use. It’s really a hard choice to make when they are all so pretty!

I left a wider border on my card base than I typically do, cutting my bottom card stock out of Mossy Meadow at 4.75″ x 3.50″ and the DSP at 4-5/8″ x 3-3/8″. This layer of the card is attached flat to the Basic White card base (8.50″ x 5.50″ – scored @ 4.25″) with multipurpose glue.

I used the label die from the coordinating set of Holly Berry dies and cut out the largest label with the attached holly leaves out of Basic White card stock. I cut the solid piece of the leaf backing out of Mossy Meadow and attached to the back of the label carefully with multipurpose glue. I stamped my greeting on the label with Mossy Meadow Ink and attached to card with dimensionals.

I colored the Textural Elements with Stampin’ Blends (dark Real Red and Crumb Cake) and colored the berries with Wink of Stella. Once dried I tucked them behind the tag using a glue dot to secure them in place. I tucked in two Gold Holly Leaves behind the Textural Elements using multipurpose glue to secure them to the card. On the left side of the tag, I attached another Gold Holly Leaf with a mini dimensional.

I made small bows with the gold thread from Simply Elegant Trim and attached to front of tag over the Textural Elements securing them with a glue dot. Lastly, I placed three Festive Pearls in the Soft Succulent color randomly on the card front.

If you want to make this card yourself, here are the Stampin’ Up! supplies you will need:

Product List

It’s never too early to start working on making your Christmas cards. If I get enough people interested, I will put together a monthly stamp-a-stack at my home. During each month’s event we will make a series of cards that you can send to your friends and family for the upcoming season. They would be pleased as punch to get a handmade card from you – trust me! Drop me an email at lindartyarbrough@gmail.com and let me know if you are interested.

In the meantime, if you have any questions regarding this project, the supplies you need to make a similar card, or taking advantage of the benefits of SALE-A-BRATION that are available now through August 31, 2022, please ask me. I am always here to help.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you leave here inspired to put stamps to ink to paper. Until next time, stamp on my friends.

A Christmas Barn Shaker Card – In July, Oh My!

Greetings my stamping friends! As you can see, my website is back in working order. Thankfully I was able to get it back online with the help of the professionals at DreamHost. I am so thankful that I bit the bullet a few years ago and paid to have a hosted website. It has paid for itself on more than one occasion!

While I am still waiting on my packages of swap cards to arrive back in the mail, I wanted to share with you a Christmas in July card that I made using the Christmas Barn Bundle from page 28 of the July to December 2022 Mini Catalog. This was one of my must have bundles that I was going to use in one of the group swaps, but we didn’t have enough participants for the last group. Their loss is your gain!

This is a “shaker card”. I used one of the clear envelopes* around the decorated layer and enclosed about three pinches of the Effervescent Elements before sealing it up and attaching to the card base with Tear & Tape. If I had sequins, that would have been better, but I didn’t have any that was current product.

(*NOTE: The clear envelope with be larger than the layer of the card. You will folder over the adhesive end as far as you can. You will then need to use a piece of Tear & Tape at top to turn down approximately .25″ to make it a tight fit to piece.)

I used a piece of the Pine Trees DSP from the Boughs of Holly 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper pack which I cut down to 4″ x 5.25″ and matted with Mossy Meadow card stock cut to 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″.

For the barn itself, I stamped it once on Basic White card stock and cut it out with the coordinating die. I also stamped it on Real Red card stock and hand cut the body of the barn and the chimney and glued them over the Basic White piece. I brushed all the white areas with Wink of Stella to make the snow glittery.

If you want to try and make one of these shaker cards yourself, here is what you will need to get started:

Product List

If you need additional information regarding the design elements of this project, do not hesitate to contact me.

Don’t forget that between now and August 31, 2022, you receive FREE products as part of Sale-A-Bration for every $50.00 (before tax and shipping) you spend! Don’t miss out on getting FREE STUFF!

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you leave here inspired to put stamps to ink to paper. Until next time, stamp on my friends.
