VIDEO: Balloon Celebration Double Z Fold Floating Balloon Card

Last week, Stampin' Up! updated the Clearance Rack with some favorite products from last year's Occasions and Holiday Catalogs. Among the items originally released int he Clearance Rack were the It's My Party Designer Paper and Enamel Dots. I intended to share this project last week, but things got a little crazy, so I didn't get a chance to take photos until this weekend. Now the designer paper and enamel dots are all sold out, but you could easily substitute the new Party Animal Designer Paper and Brights Enamel Dots to make this fun fold card! Check out my video from instructions on how to make the Double Z Fold Card!

The balloons are stamped and punched with the Balloon Bouquet Punch. The "floating" balloons have a skinny piece of Window Sheets between the balloons, just like the hot air balloons in the video tutorial below.

Last Chance Favorites: Four Succulent Garden Projects

As a demonstrator, I don't continue using products after they retire. I am usually trying to stay current and use new products for the projects that I create and share here. So I hate to see some of my favorite products retire, especially when I haven't had very long to use them. The Oh So Succulent stamp set and Succulent Garden Designer Paper fall in to that category. I'm sad that they won't carry over to the new catalog! If you haven't snatched up these beauties, make sure to get them now before they sell out! Bonus: they're on sale!!

Check out the projects I've already shared using the Oh So Succulent Suite. Here's a few more from Stampin' Up! Concept Artists:

Builder Birdcage Watercolor Background Card

I'm exhausted! It's been a pretty stressful week -- working until the last minute to finish our tax return, listing our house for sale, and finding a new house and making an offer! Now we just have to sell our house and we'll be all set to move this summer! It's not a big move -- the new house is only 2-1/2 miles away, but a move is a move! With all the craziness this week, I've decided to cancel my April Stamp of the Month Club. I had planned to feature the Builder Birdcage stamp set. This fun stamp set is retiring, so be sure to order it by May 31st! It's one of many retiring products that's one sale! Check out the full list here and go shopping in my Online Stampin' Up! Store!

Video: Shaving Cream Marbling Technique

Raid the bathroom and grab some shaving cream for this fun technique! Full disclosure: it's been a good 10 years since I've tried this myself because I'm not a messy stamper! But Donna from the Stampin' Up! training team will show you how to use your ink refills to create a cool background in this technique video.
