Beautiful Baubles Galvanized Card Video

There's less than a month left of the Stampin' Up!® 2018 Holiday Catalog, and I want to make as many projects as I can using these wonderful products! There are so many retiring that I'm going to miss SO MUCH! You can see everything that is retiring, along with some items that are at a discount, by going to the YEAR-END CLOSEOUT SALE at my online store.

Today's card features two items that are retiring...The Beautiful Baubles Stamp Set and the Galvanized Metallic Paper. Isn't that ornament gorgeous? I'm REALLY going to miss the Galvanized Metallic Paper! There are so many things you can do with it! There's a great masculine stamp set and dies that are coming out in the 2019 Occasions Catalog that you'll definitely want to get this paper for. I'll make a card showing you why soon.

Below, you'll find a video showing you how I heat embossed and colored in the ornament on the Galvanized Metallic Paper (along with the other steps on how to make the card). I'm so in love with this look! I've also got the supply list below, along with the dimensions for the consumable supplies used on the card.

Dimensions:

• Night of Navy:  4-1/4" x 8-1/2" (card base), 3-1/4" x 3-1/4" (ornament mat), & 4" x 2" ("Merry")
• Pool Party:  4" x 4" (embossed layer)

Short & Sweet Saturday - Humming Around Sneak Peek

Happy Saturday, everyone! I'm so sorry I haven't been able to post a project for awhile. There's been so much going on since I got back from On Stage (Stampin' Up! Convention). Now with Christmas, it's even busier. LoL

I was able to order some products from the Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration brochure when I was at On Stage, but I haven't been able to make anything with them. I actually didn't buy the stamp set I used, Humming Around Stamp Set. It was one of the stamp sets that Stampin' Up! gave us FREE at On Stage. There is a die-set that coordinates with this beautiful set, and I just ordered it during the preorder for all demonstrators last Wednesday. It will be here on Tuesday, but I didn't want to wait that long to use this beautiful flower stamp! The designer paper is called All My Love Designer Series Paper, and it was one of the things I was able to purchase last month at On Stage.

Dimensions:

• Thick Whisper White:  8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (card base)
• Lovely Lipstick:  1-1/4" x 5-1/2" (DSP mat) & 2-3/4" x 3-3/4" (scallop oval)
• Whisper White:  2-1/2" x 3-1/2" (flower oval)
• All My Love Designer Series Paper (DSP):  1" x 5-1/2"

Instructions:

1. Fold the Thick Whisper White piece in half (fold on the left) to form the card base. I suggest scoring the piece at 4-1/4" (with an 8-1/2" side along the top) before folding. The thick cardstock folds much easier this way. Attach the DSP piece along the middle of the Lovely Lipstick DSP mat piece. Attach it along the right side of the card. Stamp the "Thank You" stamp from the Humming Around Stamp Set onto the bottom, left corner of the piece using the Tuxedo Black Memento Pad.
2. Stamp the flower stamp onto the regular Whisper White piece using the Memento Pad. Color along the area of the flower that should be darker with with the Dark Lovely Lipstick marker from the Lovely Lipstick Stampin' Blends Combo (see picture). Color all of the petals and base of the flower with the Light Lovely Lipstick marker, coloring over the dark areas to blend the shades together. Color along the veins of the leaf with the Dark Soft Sea Foam marker from the Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends Combo. Color the entire leaf and the stem with the Light Soft Sea Foam marker, coloring over the dark areas to blend the shades together. After a few minutes, if the stem and leaf are too light, color over them the same way again to get more color. Color along the scallop-like marks in the stamen of the flower with the Dark Daffodil Delight marker from the Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Combo. Color the entire stamen with the Light Daffodil Delight marker until the shades are blended.
3. Die-cut the flower out with the second, largest oval die from the Layering Ovals Framelits Dies. Die-cut a scallop oval out of the last Lovely Lipstick piece using the largest scallop oval die. Attach the flower oval to the center of the scallop oval, and then attach it to the center of the card using Stampin' Dimensionals.

Use SNAIL Adhesive when attaching, unless stated otherwise.

The Humming Around Stamp Set is not in the Online Store yet, so it's not in the supplies list below. It will be added once it is in January, 2019. The All My Love DSP in the supplies list isn't available to be purchased until January 3, 2019, too.

Snowflake Showcase Countdown - Only Hours Left!

I can't believe that there are only hours left to purchase the products that are in the Snowflake Showcase! I'm REALLY going to miss making projects for you with these wonderful stamp sets, dies, and embellishments!

BELIEVE ME...YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS OUT GETTING THESE BEAUTIFUL PRODUCTS!

I used the Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set and Snowfall Thinlits Dies on today's card. The wood background is paper from the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog. I also used the clear epoxy droplets from the Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets, also from the Holiday Catalog.

Below Are All of the Snowflake Showcase Products

Hurry, They're Only Available Until 11:50 p.m. TONIGHT! After That, They're Gone Forever!

Dimensions:

• Fresh Fig:  8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (card base) & 3-1/4" x 2" (berry branches)
• Crumb Cake:  3-1/2" x 1-1/2" (brown leaf branches) & 3-1/2" x 3/4" (greeting)

• Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper (DSP):  4" x 5-1/4"

Instructions:

1. Fold the large Fresh Fig piece in half (fold on the left) to form the card base. Attach the DSP piece onto the center of the card front.
2. Stamp the striped flower stamp from the Happiness Surrounds Stamp Set onto one side of the Coastal Cabana piece two times using the Coastal Cabana Classic Stampin' Pad. Die-cut the stamped flowers with the coordinating die from the Snowfall Thinlits Dies. Die-cut the detailed flower die out of the same piece two times. Put SNAIL Adhesive onto the back center of the detailed flower die-cuts. Attach each one to the top of the stamped flowers (see picture). Die-cut the flower center die two times out of the Daffodil Delight piece, and attach them to the flower centers using Mini Glue Dots.
3. Die-cut the berry branch die four times out of the smallest Fresh Fig piece. Die-cut both leaf branch dies two times from the Granny Apple Green piece, and again out of the largest Crumb Cake piece. This will leave you with four green leaf branches and four tan leaf branches.
4. Punch the right end of the smallest Crumb Cake piece by inserting it all of the way into the Banner Triple Punch, making sure to center it within the smallest guide in the punch. Stamp the "Congratulations" stamp onto the right end of the banner using the Granny Apple Green Classic Stampin' Pad.
5. Attach the flowers onto the bottom left of the card. The top flower needs to be attached first with SNAIL Adhesive, and the bottom one needs to be attached with Stampin' Dimensionals (see picture for placement). Attach all of the branches around the flowers using Mini Glue Dots (see picture for placement).
6. Attach a small clear epoxy droplet from the Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets onto the center of each flower.

Snowflake Showcase Countdown - Rustic Snowflake

Through Friday, I'm going to be sharing projects made with the beautiful Snowflake Showcase Products. I LOVE these products, and I want to make as many projects with them as I can! They'll only be available until THIS Friday, November 30, 2018 or while supplies last...whichever comes first. The White Velvet Paper has already sold out!

You Can See the Snowflake Showcase Items That Are Still Available by Clicking Here.

Today's card features the Snow is Glistening Stamp Set, Snowfall Thinlits Dies, and Snowflake Trinkets from the Snowflake Showcase. I wanted to make a rustic Christmas card to show a different look that you can get with these products! I also used the Buffalo Check Stamp Set and Merry Christmas to All Bundle from the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalog. The bundle includes the Merry Christmas to All Stamp Set and Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies. Purchasing these two items as a bundle will save you 10%! The Merry Christmas Thinlits are on backorder right now, but they plan on getting a shipment of them sometime next week. You can order them now, though. That way, you'll be on the list to get them as soon as they come in. If you look closely at the pictures, you can see that I die-cut the "Merry" die-cut out of a piece of the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper in the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. The wood-grain in the die-cut looks great!

I used the Galvanized Metallic Paper when die-cutting the large snowflake. I LOVE how it looks with the Buffalo Check stamp and this color combo! I also added a strip of 5/8" Striped Burlap Ribbon across the card. Both of these items are in the Holiday Catalog, as well.

Dimensions:

• Cherry Cobbler:  8-1/2" x 5-1/2" (card base)

Instructions:

1. Stamp the about lower two-thirds of the Crumb Cake piece with the Buffalo Check Stamp Set using the Cherry Cobbler Classic Stampin' Pad. Attach the piece to the center of the Early Espresso piece. Fold the Cherry Cobbler piece in half (fold on the left) to form the card base. Attach the Buffalo Check/Early Espresso piece to the center of the card front. Trim the ends of the 5/8" Striped Burlap Trim at an angle, making it about 4-1/4" long at the longest points. Put SNAIL Adhesive along the top of the Buffalo Check image, and attach the burlap trim across it, centering it between both sides of the card base.
2. Die-cut a snowflake out of the Galvanized Metallic Paper using the largest snowflake die in the Snowfall Thinlits Dies. Stamp the largest snowflake stamp from the Snow is Glistening Stamp Set onto one side of the Very Vanilla piece using the Cherry Cobbler ink pad. Die-cut the snowflake out with its coordinating die. Attach the stamped snowflake onto the center of the large snowflake. Put SNAIL Adhesive all over the back of the center section of the large snowflake, and attach it to the top, center of the card. Attach a snowflake from the Snowflake Trinkets to the center of the stamped snowflake using a Mini Glue Dot.
3. Remove the printed paper backing from the Multipurpose Adhesive Sheet, and attach the Wood Textures DSP piece to it. Die-cut the "Merry" die from the Merry Christmas Thinlits Dies out of it. Stamp the frame stamp from the Merry Christmas to All Stamp Set onto the other end of the Very Vanilla piece using the Early Espresso Classic Stampin' Pad. Stamp the printed "Christmas" stamp into the center of the frame using the Cherry Cobbler ink pad. Die-cut the frame out with the coordinating die. Attach the "Christmas" label to the bottom left of the Buffalo Check layer, making it hang off the bottom edge of it a little bit. Remove the paper backing from the "Merry" die-cut, and attach it to the card, below the snowflake, and above the "Christmas" label.

Use SNAIL Adhesive when attaching, unless stated otherwise.
