WEDNESDAY IS A GREAT TIME TO SHARE SOME UPDATES & ANOTHER PROJECT

So, what’s new with Stampin’ Up! this week!

First, I have some new OnLine Exclusives to share with you. Click on the link below to see a flier showing some of the new products.

ONLINE EXCLUSIVES

There are two new kits available this month.

The Maritime Moments Kit (165664) is $37 and the Welcoming Garden Kit (165661) is $41 – don’t forget these prices do not include postage.

In some bad news – the manufacturer of our Water Painters (item 151298) is no longer making this product, which means Stampin’ Up! is limited to the supply they currently have on hand. Once existing inventory runs out in each market, the Water Painters will be removed from the online store. SU is currently exploring alternative manufacturing options and hope to bring this or a similar product back in the future. 

So if Water Painters is on your wish list – NOW is the time to order them.

AND … tomorrow I am heading to the Brisbane Convention & Entertainment Centre for the three day OnStage event. This is a wonderful opportunity for demonstrators, from around the South Pacific and internationally to meet, swap, create and learn together. I’ll definitely be sharing photos of the event with you.

Here is today’s project.

This card is another layered card, featuring the new On the Go Suite Collection.

The DSP introduces one of the new In Colours for 2025 – 2027 … Strawberry Slush. It is a very pretty pink.

As you can see, I have started with a Basic White cardbase and two DSP layers and a layer of Summer Splash.

I enjoy using smaller layers and adhering them at angles.

The greeting, from the Tags to Go Stamp Set, was stamped in Summer Splash and then cut with one of the tag dies.

A Crushed Curry key was cut and twine looped through the hole. After trimming the twine, the key was added to the tag with dimensionals.

Extra keys were cut using Crushed Curry and Pumpkin Pie card that had Adhesive Sheets added to the back. These keys were added to the card insert and the back of the envelope.

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

Until then, happy stamping.

MONDAY IS MEMORY KEEPING DAY

Aplogies for being absent for the past two weeks. I spent the first week preparing my 120 hand coloured OnStage swap cards and this last week preparing for Tropical Cyclone Alfred that turned out to be less than we thought it would be (thank goodness).

This week I am featuring the On the Go Suite Collection.

This is an amzing collection of travel inspired products that is available as an Online Exclusive product (165583).

I have begun to revisit scrapbooking which I haven’t done much of in many years. My plan is to share a memory keeping project each Monday to inspire everyone to pull out their boxes of photos and begin recording the stories that belong to the photos … OR ,,, return to the scrapbooking and journalling you have not done for a while. Goodness knows how many boxes, or old albums, we all have that need to be scrapped and journalled so that the memories and stories are passed along through each generation.

I used this collection of new Online Exclusive Products to create a two page layout of our 15 day tour of Japan last year.

I was able to include so many photos and journalling pages by using the new Flip Flap pockets.

I used three different designs from the On the Go Designer Series Paper and a Summer Splash 12″x 12″ base and Azure Afternoon and Pumpkin Pie panels to create a base for the photos.

It was so easy to attach and layer the Flip Flaps holdng the photos and journalling pages.

Each photo Flip Flap held two photos.

The page title was created by adding Adhesive Sheet to the back of a panel of Pumpkin Pie and cutting it using the Alphabet A la Mode Dies.

The Basic White banner tag, in the bottom righthand corner, had the sentiment stamped in Pumpkin Pie and was embellsihed with some Summer Splash 2024-2026 In Colour Shimmer Gems.

The second page uses the same products in a slightly varied layout.

On this page I used some of the On the Go Puffy Stickers and ticket tags cut using the Tags to Go Dies.

Tomorrow I have a layered card to share with with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

FINALLY IT IS FUN FOLD FRIDAY

Today’s card was inspired by a recent Youtube post by Tracy McDonnell from the Papercraft Studio. Thank you Tracy.

As you can see, I have used quite a few of the Neutrals Matte Dots this week.

I stayed true to my Botanical Texture DSP theme this week.

This is a swing fold card and the Memorable Blooms Bundle was perfect for it – it is also the bundle Tracy used for her card.

Using Adhesive Sheets was the perfect way to attach the detailed floral die cut.

After pulling out the swing fold you find a large area to write a message to the recipient.

The sentiment was stamped and cut using one of the Meant to Bee Dies. I cut the hexagon in half and cut a Smoky Slate hexagon in half. These were overlaid and glued before popping it up on the card front with dimensionals.

The coordinating floral stamp was used on the back of the envelope.

A couple of Neutrals Matte Dots were then added to the card front.

Next week I’ll have something new for you.

Until then, happy stamping.
