Softly Sophisticated Front Flap Card

I enjoyed mixing and matching all of the components. Be sure to grab your freebies by 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time, Thursday, February 29.

Everyday Details Flip Front Fun Fold

Everyday Details Flip Front Fun Fold

There’s a lot going on with today’s card. It’s a fun fold, specifically the Flip Front Fun Fold. And, it uses product you can earn free during Stampin’ Up!’s SaleABration promotion: the Light & Airy Designer Series Paper (DSP). In addition, I paired it with the Everyday Details Bundle (available in Stampin’ UP!’s January-April 2024 Mini Catalog). I love how the bird nest image from the Everyday Details stamp set coordinates with the bird images from the Light & Airy DSP.

The Everyday Details Dies enticed me to purchase the bundle. I love the dotted borders on the dies.

Join

During SaleABration, Stampin’ Up! is offering two great join specials.

  1. Get $125 worth of product PLUS the Stampin’ Glass Mat Studio (a $60 value) for just $99 + tax. Shipping is included. 
  2. Get $125 worth of product PLUS an additional $30 worth of product of your choice when you join for $99 + tax. Shipping is included. 

I have the Glass Mat Studio and absolutely love it. Here are some things to know about it.

Top Ten Reasons You Need the Glass Mat Studio

  1. The tempered glass provides a solid stamping surface that works for both photopolymer and cling stamps. 
  2. Grid lines make it easy to line up stamps for placing on the blocks.
  3. Imprinted grid lines help you align your card stock.
  4. Use the glass surface for techniques such as blending, water coloring, and more. Use the included shammy for easy clean up.
  5. There’s space to write notes off on the side.
  6.  Non-slip surface helps hold the die cut machine in place while using (both large and small machine).
  7. It’s heat resistant for heat embossing.
  8. Holds masks in place with washi tape or Post It Notes.
  9. Larger background stamps stay in place and works great for inking and stamping with paper on top.
  10.  Brayer works well on this hard glass surface.
  11. Ideal for the reflection stamping technique.
  12. Perfect for stamping off.
  13. Adhesives can be cleaned off easily with shammy.
