WHAT’S HAPPENING THIS WEDNESDAY – UPDATES & A NEW PROJECT

Well, this Wednesday there is alot happening in the Stampin’ Up! world.

We have some updates about cling stamps and Stampin’ Write Markers, as well as some exciting news about new coordinating packaging for stamps and dies. Here’s a quick snapshot:

Cling Stamps (Red Rubber)
Stampin’ Up! has decided to discontinue their cling stamp line due to key raw materials becoming increasingly difficult to source, with some no longer being manufactured at all. They will continue to offer a wide range of photopolymer stamps to support various artistic styles and techniques. 

Stampin’ Write Markers
SU has also decided to discontinue Stampin’ Write Markers. With the growing popularity of Stampin’ Blends, they’ve seen a steady decline in sales of Stampin’ Write Markers. One of the primary techniques unique to Stampin’ Write Markers is colouring directly on cling stamps—a technique that will become less relevant as they transition away from cling. 

New and Improved Stamp and Die Packaging
As part of the transition away from cling stamps, SU is excited to introduce updated packaging for stamps and dies! Because photopolymer stamps are thinner, they’re able to offer sleeker, slimmer packaging that saves space. Both stamps and dies will now come in the same size and style of packaging, making it easier than ever to store bundles and coordinating products together. The new packaging is similar to current die packaging—durable, clear plastic envelopes—but with an exciting improvement: Die packaging will now feature printed artwork for quick and easy identification! Stamp packaging will continue to display artwork as well.

Today’s project is a card using the leaves from the Harvest Home Garland Kit.

I used the Dark Smoky Slate Stampin’ Blends marker to flick specks of gray across the Very Vanilla panel. Then I wrapped Gray Granite Twine around it, tied a bow and then adhered it to a Basic Gray cardbase.

The three banners, from the party Banners Dies, were cut from Two-tone cardstock. So when I frayed the edges of the banners, the white core was revealed.

The banners were layered with leaves inserted within each layer.

Then I added the Soft Sea Foam and textured gray leaves on the top layer.

The birthday greeting is from the Loveliest Tree Stamp Set. After stamping it, I used one of the Nested Essentials Dies to cut it.

The card insert and envelope also had gray flecks added to them.

Finally, I added some Very Vanilla Neutral Matte Dots to the card.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy staming and scrapbooking.

MEMORY KEEPING MONDAY IS ALWAYS FUN

This week I am featuring the Weekend Adventures Scrapbooking Workshop Kit and the coordinating Scrapbooking frmo Scratch products.

This kit has everything needed (excluding adhesives) to make the three two-page layouts (167315 $65AU).

You can also create even more layouts using these supplimentary products, including the Weekend Adventure Designer Series Paper & Sticker Sheet (167314 $29.95AU).

The Weekend Adventure Photopolymer Stamp Set has a fantastic variety of images and greetings for memorykeeping and card making (167318 $35).

You can also add the coordinating Weekend Adventure Two-Tone card to continue your creative endeavours (167324 $21).

I followed the layout instructions to recreate the kit designs.

The three layouts do not have any stamping on them but that is something you can add if you want to.

I love the brickwork look on the top page and all the layered elements on both pages.

This page also has many overlapping layers.

Then I created my own single page design using the more of the products on my desk.

This simple layout includes stamping across the central Old Olive strip. I would love to have the boot print as a stamp.

Tomorrow I have a technique card, and some tips, to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

MEMORYKEEPING MONDAY IS NOW MY THING!

I’m back from my week away and looking forward to sharing some projects using the Birthday Fancy Kit ($44 166211).

The kit comes with everything you need to make these 12 individual cards.

My projects this week will use these kit items to make completely different projects.

I made a two page scrapbooking layout using some of the kit items but also added some other bits and pieces from my stash.

I started by adhering some strips of Cloud Cover and Lost Lagoon card on each of the pages.

The next step was to add a 6″x 4″ Basic White photo placecard onto a 1 1/2″x 4 1/2″ Cloud Cover matte.

The titles for each page were made by adding Adhesive Sheet to the back of the Lost Lagoon card and cutting the letters with the Playful Alphabet Dies.

The journalling panels were made using the notebook Just a Note dies. I used the coordinating stamp set to add the Lost Lagoon lines on the notebook die cut. The notebook pages were then adhered to another Cloud Cover panel.

I used the tab and paperclip dies to cut these shapes and add them to the notebook page.

Then I decorated both pages using the decorative elements from the kit.

I think these pages would be great for photos from a birthday gathering or a high tea. What photos would you add to these pages?

Tomorrow I have a card to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbboking.
