Unbounded Beauty Thank You Card

Unbounded Beauty Thank You Card

I hope you’ve had a chance to peruse Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. It’s filled with an array of brand-new products including stamp sets, coordinating dies, punches, paper, ribbons, and more. And, it also include some offerings from past publications. See a PDF of the new catalog here

Today, I share a thank you card that uses both new and previous paper crafting goodies. 

Unbounded Beauty Thank You Card

Here are a few details about this clean and simple thank you card.

  • Thick Basic White Card Stock base measuring 11 x 4 1/4, scored and folded at 5 1/2
  • Basic White Card Stock layer measuring 4 x 4 1/4
  • Three strips of Designer Series Paper measuring 4 x 1 1/8. For this card, I used the new Unbounded Beauty Designer Series Paper
  • Die cut circle (Stylish Shapes Dies) with Basic White Card Stock
  • Sentiment from Something Fancy stamp set stamped in Summer Splash ink. (Hint: It’s one of the new, gorgeous 2024-2026 In Colors.) But you can use any patterned paper. There’s so many to choose from!
  • Summer Splash 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon
  • 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems

Spotlight on Nature Thank You

Spotlight on Nature

Tomorrow, May 1, is the day we’ve been waiting for! Stampin’ Up!’s 2024-2025 Annual Catalog is live. You can purchase the new 2024-2026 In Colors as well as a brand-new offering of rubber stamps, ink, paper, dies, punches, embellishments, and more. There’s so much to love. I can’t wait to show off the new offerings in the coming months.

Spotlight on Nature Thank You

In today’s post, I feature a gorgeous thank you card using the brand-new Spotlight on Nature Bundle. Find it on page 69 of the new Annual Catalog.

I love tulips. Although, I don’t see many here in Arizona, I can admire them on paper. In addition, I “spotlight” three of the five brand-new In Colors: Petunia Pop, Peach Pie, and Pretty in Pink. And the dies offer some unique circle designs. 

Here are a few details about this card:

  • Petunia Pop card stock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
  • Basic Beige (a brand-new neutral color) card stock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4
  • A piece of Petunia Pop Designer Series Paper (from the 2024-2026 In Color 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Collection) measuring 3/4 x 5 1/4
  • 2024-2026 In Color Glimmer 12 x 12 Glimmer Paper (Petunia Pop) measuring 1/4 x 4 1/4
  • Basic White Card Stock die cut with Spotlight on Nature Dies
  • Tulip stamped with Memento Ink and colored with Petunia Pop and Olive Olive Stampin’ Blends
  • 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems
  • Petunia Pop 3/8-inch Bordered Ribbon

Here are two other samples using Pretty in Pink and Peach Pie. Which one is your favorite?

Meandering Meadow Card Design

Meandering Meadow Card Design

There’s no doubt Stampin’ Up! offers the most gorgeous Designer Series Paper in the industry. Not only does Stampin’ Up! give us a wide array of 6 x 6 and 12 x 12 designs, the variety of images and patterns provide so many options for our paper crafting projects. Sometimes, it’s difficult to choose which side of the paper to use. 

Today, I’m sharing a card layout that allows you to use both sides. This works especially well for the 6 x 6 scenery paper, including the Meandering Meadows 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. It’s one of the Online Exclusives. Let me know if I can help you order this beautiful paper.

Take a look at the inside of this card.

Here are a few details to help you understand how this card comes together:

  • Designer Series Paper measuring 5 1/2 x 6. Score 1 3/4 inches in from the right-hand side.
  • Coordinating solid card stock color measuring 5 1/2 x 4 1/4. (I used Shaded Spruce for this card.)
  • Basic White card stock measuring 5 1/2 x 2 1/4
  • Any sentiment and embellishments for card front. I used Layering Leaves, Shaded Spruce, the Heartfelt Hexagon punch, Linen Thread, and the Adhesive-Backed Dragonflies & Birds.

Welcome to Team Stamp It’s April Blog Hop! Thanks so much for joining us. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop. Leave a comment for a chance to win a Confetti Birthday Card Kit.

This month, we feature cards and projects with a Mother’s Day theme. Today, I share a handmade greeting card using the fractured card technique or faux shutter technique. 

Mother’s Day Fractured Card Technique

Mother's Day Fractured Card Technique

There are several ways to accomplish this technique. I chose the simplest. Here are some basic measurements to get you started.

  • Basic Black cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/5
  • Designer Series Paper measuring 5 1/4 x 4 (I used the retiring Delightfully Eclectic, but many other patterned papers work well)
  • Four cardstock strips matching your card base measuring 5 1/2 x 1/4
  • A Basic White square (I die cut mine with the Stylish Shapes Dies)
  • Sentiment and ink of choice (I used the “So Happy to Celebrate You from the Layering Leaves stamp set for the outside and the Happy Mother’s Day from Perennial Lavender for the inside. Flowers come from Petal Park stamp set.)

2024-2026 In Color Treat Packets

2024-2026 In Color Treat Packets

In just a few short weeks, Stampin’ Up!’s 2024-2025 Annual Catalog debuts! It’s full of fun new products (and many returning items, too). You can begin ordering from it Wednesday, May 1, 2024. As a demonstrator, I have the opportunity to preorder a selection of products, including the new 2024-2026 In Colors — ink pads, card stock, coordinating Designer Series Paper, Stampin’ Blends, and embellishments. The colors include: Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Pretty in Pink, Summer Splash, and Shy Shamrock. 

2024-2026 In Color Treat Packets

In today’s post, I showcase some quick and easy treat packets featuring Stampin’ Up!’s new In Colors.

Here are a few measurements to help you get started. Be sure to watch the video below (a Facebook live replay). I give step-by-step directions from my craft room in Mesa, Arizona, to help you make these at home.

  • Solid color card stock measuring 10 x 3 1/4, scored and folded at 1, 4 3/4, and 6 1/4
  • Coordinating pieces of Designer Series paper measuring 3 x 3 1/2 (2) and one measuring 3/4 x 3
  • A sentiment. For these packets, I used the “hello” from the Layering Leaves stamp set heat embossed with white and punched with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch
  • Coordinating ribbon

I love that I can use so many other patterned papers and sentiments. These treat packets also work as gift packaging for different holidays.
