Sale-a-bration Samples: Carried Away Designer Paper

 My new favorite designer series paper is the Carried Away paper pack from the 2017 Sale-a-bration brochure. (Get it FREE when you place a $50 order during Sale-a-bration!) I love the bright colors and playful designs. While it was designed to coordinate with the Lift Me Up stamp set and Up & Away Thinlits from the Occasions Catalog, you can use it with any stamp set! Check out the simple layout of the four square card below!

 

I am working on videos for a couple more cards to share with you, so stay tuned! In the meantime, check out these other projects featuring the Carried Away Designer Paper.

Celebrations Duo Party Animal Birthday Cards + Video

I have to admit that the first time I looked through the new 2017 Occasions Catalog, I kind of overlooked the new Happy Celebrations Stamp Set and Celebrations Duo Embossing Folders. However, once I saw how this dynamic pair works together, they moved right to the top of my wish list!

 

First, you emboss the cardstock with one of the two Duo Embossing Folders. (One says "celebrate" and the other says "happy".) Instead of creating a raised image, it actually does the opposite -- "debossing" the word so that it indented in the cardstock.

The magic happens when you add the stamps from the Happy Celebration stamp set. Make sure to use a good cushion like the Stampin' Pierce Mat under the cardstock and watch the debossed letter pop as you stamp color over it! Check out this video from Stampin' Up! to see how it works:

Sale-A-Bration Sample: Avant Garden Front Flap Card

When you look at the Sale-a-bration brochure, the first freebie gift option you'll find is Avant Garden. It's a classic flower stamp set with a couple perfect little sentiments. And you can get this stamp set for FREE when you order $50 or more during Sale-a-bration!

I designed this clean and simple make and take for our team meeting in December. It's a quick one to stamp, but the shorter front flap and peek of designer paper underneath makes it different and interesting.

Start with a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock is 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". Score it in half at 4-1/4" to create a regular card base. Then, cut 1" off on side. Add a piece of 1-1/4" x 5-1/2" designer paper on the inside and a 1/2" x 5-1/2" strip of coordinating color cardstock to the front flap.

Stampin' Up! Supplies: Avant Garden stamp set, Sweet Sugarplum ink & cardstock, Pear Pizzazz ink & cardstock, Basic Gray ink, Whisper White cardstock, Succulent Garden Designer Paper, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Stampin' Trimmer

Lift Me Up Hot Air Balloon Flap Card

Here is the second card I designed for my January Stamp of the Month Club card kit featuring the Lift Me Up stamp set from the 2017 Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog. Instead of making the Night of Navy cardstock the card base, I cut the full card from Whisper White cardstock (3-1/2" x 11) and folded it in half before gluing it to the 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" Night of Navy cardstock. That way, when you open the card, it's white and you can easily write your message inside!

To add a little dimension to the clouds, I cut the large cloud from the Mint Macaron cardstock so that you see the Whisper White cardstock beneath it. The hot air balloons are adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.

This card is one of three designs in my January Stamp of the Month Club card kit. There is no commitment when you join my Stamp of the Month Club! I'll add you to my club mailing list and you'll receive one email each month revealing the stamp set and card designs. You can choose when you want to participate by simply replying to that email.

Each month, I feature a different stamp set. Those who participate in January will receive the Lift Me Up Clear Mount Rubber stamp set (or substitute a different set), pre-cut materials to make 6 cards (2 each of 3 designs), printed instructions with a color photo of each card, and Priority Mail shipping.

Watercolor Pencils Video Tips + 5 Occasions Catalog Cards

Wow! The new Watercolor Pencils are so popular that they are already on backorder! And Stampin' Up! anticipates not having enough to meet demand! Order by Thursday, January 26th at 12:00 Noon MT before they turn off the item number and make the Watercolor Pencils non-orderable while they wait for more inventory to arrive.

If you have the pencils that Stampin' Up! offered many years ago, you'll love that this new set coordinates with our color line. The pencils are smooth and blend nicely with the AquaPainter or Blender Pens. They come in a cardboard box, but you may choose to purchase an empty stamp case to keep them in. Check out the shopping links at the end of this post.
