I’m sharing a card using an embossing technique with Stampin’ Up!’s Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder.
I tried a super fun embossing technique that uses Stampin’ Up!’s Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder and Window Sheets. The Window Sheets, available in 12 x 12 sheets, serve as the card base! I cut the sheets into a size measuring 4 1/2 inches by 11 inches and scored it at 5 1/2 inches. Use a Bone Folder to get a good crease at the fold. I slipped the card front into the embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine. This texture and design offers a unique, see-through look.
Last-Chance Products
The Country Floral 3D Embossing Folder used in today’s technique project is retiring from Stampin’ Up!’s offerings. Though it’s sad to see some products go, I look forward to a brand-new catalog being released to all customers June 3. (Note: Catalogs are one their way to current customers who shopped with me in the last six to nine months. If you don’t currently work with a demonstrator, I’d love to help you get started stamping.)
Click this link and shop the entire list of retiring products. This list includes the 2018-2020 In Color card stock, ink pads, ink refills, and markers; stamp sets; punches; die cuts and framelits, Designer Series Paper, ribbon; and more. Many of the products are discounted. Also, remember to check the Clearance Rack.
Current Products
The Bloom & Grow stamp set and its coordinating framelits, Budding Blooms, are available now and in the upcoming catalog. Purchase them now as a bundle (before June 2) and you receive a 10 percent discount. They won’t be discounted when the new catalog goes live. I colored the flowers with Stampin’ Blends colors of Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, and Old Olive and die cut them with the coordinating framelits.

It’s always sad when Stampin’ Up! releases its last-chance list, its announcement of retiring products. But we know something has to go to make way for new and awesome offerings in the upcoming Annual Catalog which goes live June 3, 2020.And, I’m telling you, the catalog is fabulous. (Demonstrators received their first peek at the new catalog today! Let me know if you want to join and get the same perks!)
This card features a number of products that won’t be around much longer, including the Perennial Birthday stamp set, the Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots, and the 2018-2020 In Colors of Call Me Clover, Lovely Lipstick, Grapefruit Grove, Pineapple Punch, and Blueberry Bushel. Think stamp pads, ink refills, card stock, coordinating Designer Series Paper, ribbon, and more.

Just a couple of quick notes:
The Stampin’ Blends are not retiring; they are just being repacked. Single light and dark options will not be available in the new catalog, so if you need replacement singles, order them now.
The Layering Circles, Squares, and Rectangles are also not being retired, but they are being repackaged for the next catalog.
Hinge-Step Stamping
Stampin’ Up’s stamp positioning tool, the Stamparatus, helped me achieve the fun design on the front of this card. This tool is a must-have for rubber stamping. It helps you perfectly align stamp images, stamp multiples of the same project quickly and precisely, and get complete ink coverage. It works well with cling stamps and photopolymer stamps.
The Stamparatus was created by stampers for stampers, so it has all the features you want: two strong magnets to help keep the paper in place; a foam mat for use with photopolymer stamps; rulers on two sides for quick measuring; two open edges so you can use larger paper; two reversible plates for four sides to work with; and magnet storage area. Additional accessories include grid paper, a deluxe foam mat, and a cool carry bag.

Sharing treat bags using Stampin’ Up!’s So Sentimental stamp set for class this week.
One of the reasons I love being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator is sharing the love of creating with rubber stamps, ink, and paper with others. I hold classes here in Mesa, Arizona, as a way to share my love of rubber stamping, make new friends and connections, and build a community of crafters.
For each event I hold, I give participants a different treat or favor. These are some of my favorite things to make! The featured treat today is created using the 3 x 9 Printed Gusseted Cellophane Bags found on page 33 of the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog. You receive 25 bags for just $7. I’ve included some chocolate bars in mine, but there are many items that would fit well in these decorated bags, such as small hand lotions, lipsticks and chapsticks, peanuts, and more.
Here are some of the other Stampin’ Up! ingredients I used for the So Sentimental Treat Bags:
Yummilicious stamp from the So Sentimental stamp set (page 20-January-June 2020 Mini Catalog)
Stitched So Sweetly Dies (page 20-January-June 2020 Mini Catalog)
Scallop Tag Topper Punch
Banner Triple Punch
Best Dressed 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper
Mint Macaron 1/8-inch Sheer Linen Ribbon
Stampin’ Write Markers
Fun Technique
You’ll notice the image has two different colors? How did I achieve that look? I colored directly onto the stamp using Stampin’ Write markers. It’s so easy, and it lets you have a multi-colored image.
I’ve included a shopping list below. Each graphic will take you directly to my online store.
Sale-A-Bration Continues
There’s still time to take advantage of Stampin’ Up!’s best promotion of the year. Choose free product with minimum purchases of $50. Look for a lot of fun items including exclusive stamp sets and Designer Series Paper.
