Introducing the new Perennial Postage Bundle

One of the bundles in the upcoming Jan – April 2024 mini catalog is the Perennial Postage bundle. I chose this to order during the Product Purchase Premiere offered to those who attended OnStage at Home earlier this month because I love the mix of fonts and the greetings are useful in so many ways. The corresponding Perennial Postage dies include a variety of sizes of rectangles with the edges cut to simulate postage stamps. They also include two hole reinforcement dies and a postmark embossing piece. This piece does not cut , just embosses. Ink it by placing it on a stamp pad and then carefully putting it on your cardstock before running it through a die-cutting machine. Combined with this beautiful Flight and Airy dsp you will have a beautiful card in no time at all.

Cards Using the Beautiful Flight and Airy DSP

Now on to the cards I have made with this beautiful Flight and Airy DSP. Oh My! What beautiful cards you can create with it. This first card I used the largest two dies in the Perennial dies set for the backgrounds and the smallest one for the greeting. I colored the ribbon with the Dark Fresh Freesia blend. The greeting was stamped with Boho Blue ink.

Greeting card created with thebeautiful  Flight and Airy DSP

My creativity was on a roll so I created another card using Pecan Pie cardstock as the base. This time I used the reverse of one of the designs for a 5 1/2″ x 2″ strip behind the birds. I used the small square Perennial Postage die to cut them out and used a Stampin’ Dimensional to pop them up. I colored the ribbon with dark Boho Blue blend. I wish I had used the light color instead. I stamped the greeting with Pecan Pie ink.

Last Chance Products Time

image is of the Last Chance Products Time

Last Chance Products Time has come. It’s necessary to move out the old to make room for the new products coming in the Jan – April 2024 Mini Catalog. Now is the time to order those stamps, bundles, papers, and accessories you have been eyeing in the fall mini catalog. A few items are carrying over to next year but most will retire. Most importantly, even those stamps and dies that carry over into the next catalog sales period will no longer be bundled together. Now is the time to order the bundles and save 10%.

Since items will sell out quickly, the best policy is to shop now while there is still inventory. You can access the Carryover list here and the Last Chance items list here. Then go over to my online store to order. That way you will know if something is still available.

My Favorite Products are Going Away During Last Chance Products Time

Stars at Night Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies (162996)

and of course all the beautiful designer series papers in the catalog. The only one carrying over is the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (162133).

35% Off Starter Kit Special

35% Off Starter Kit Special banner

Stampin’ Up! is celebrating 35 years of business this month by offering a 35% Off Starter Kit Special. Yes! This is a very rare offer but it ends at midnight MDT on October 31. If you love Stampin’ Up! products like I do, you’ll want to join my team of demonstrators and start your own business.

I have been a demonstrator for 22 years and can’t imagine not being one. Here are some of my reasons:

  • Your time is flexible. You are allowed to spend as much time on your home-based business as you want as long as you meet the $300 minimum sales per quarter. There have been times when I had a lot of customers and times when I have been my best and almost only customer. Since I work part-time at another job, I don’t spend much time on my Stampin’ Up! home-based business and only make enough to cover some of my expenses. It is all up to you.
  • You get a discount. I do enjoy purchasing my products at a 25% discount and getting to purchase some of the products before the catalogs go live.
  • It’s like Christmas when a brown Stampin’ Up! box arrives. When my order of Stampin’ Up! products arrives, I feel like it is Christmas again. It is exciting to get new ‘toys’ to play with.
  • You make long-lasting friendships not only locally but even overseas. Although I don’t earn free trips and have to pay to go to On Stage Live, the three days spent with thousands of demonstrators, all excited to share with each other and to learn about new products, the event is a highlight for me. The second convention I went to was in Florida and I went by myself. While doing the Make And Takes, I met Ruthie Burkey, a demonstrator from Ft. Worth, TX. We chummed around together during the convention and in the years since have been roommates and best friends. I lived in Alaska at the time and would not have met Ruthie if it weren’t for being a demonstrator
  • It’s fun! I have fun while working and feeding my creative nature.

This 35% Off Starter Kit Special is only good for a week longer. Contact me, sue@soggystamper.com, to discuss how you can benefit from this special and from being on my team of demonstrators. You can also click this link for more information. Don’t delay. If you love card-making and/or scrapbooking this is for you!

Easy Merriest Trees Christmas Card

Easy Merriest Trees Christmas Card

It’s a snap to make this easy Merriest Trees Christmas card! A total beginner stamper had no trouble making this card in class last week. We used the Merriest Trees bundle (162048) and a piece of beautiful Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper (162378). The greeting was heat embossed with gold embossing powder. Heat embossing is such a magical technique that still enchants me after at least 45 years.

Supplies Used for Easy Merriest Trees Christmas Card

  • Stamp Set – Merriest Trees
  • Paper including cutting measurements – Basic White Cardstock 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored and folded at 5 1/2″, 4″ x 2 1/2″; Shaded Spruce Cardstock 5″ x 3 3/4″; Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper – Night of Navy with stars 5 1/4″ x 4″; Gold Foil Sheet scrap
  • Ink – Versamark
  • Accessories – Merriest Trees Dies, Adhesive Sheets, Paper Trimmer, Paper Snips, Stampin’ Seal, Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
  • Click here to be taken to a shopping cart in my online store with all these supplies already pulled for you. You can delete any you might already have.

Directions

  1. Use Stampin’ Seal to apply the designer series paper to the folded Basic White card base.
  2. Rub the Shaded Spruce cardstock with the embossing buddy and stamp the greeting with versamark. Apply gold embossing powder, tap off excess and heat emboss.
  3. Cut the greeting out with the largest tree die.
  4. Use the paper snips to cut the 2 1/2″ x 4″ Basic White cardstock approximately in half with a snowdrift type curve. Turn one piece around so they overlap.
  5. Use seal to stick the back layer to the card front.
  6. Adhere the front layer with seal only on the sides and bottom of the piece. The top should be not sticky.
  7. Apply a little seal on the back of the tree and then slip it between the Basic White layers.
  8. Cover the back of the gold foil sheet scrap with adhesive sheet and cut one of the stars from it. Put it on the top of the tree.

Beautiful Quilted Card

photo is of a beautiful quilted card using the gorgeous ll About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper

This beautiful quilted card is so easy to make! I love the new All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (162178) with it’s so many beautiful designs. One side of the paper is a print and the reverse side is copper embossed patterns. I cut 1″ x 6″ strips of a couple designs into 1″ squares. You could do this with a 1″ square punch if you have one but it might take more time. Then I glued them down alternating sides and patterns on a piece of Basic White cardstock and trimmed the cardstock to 2 3/4″ x 4 1/4″.

The next step was to adhere this layer to a piece of 5 1/4″ x 4″ designer series paper that had been die-cut with the large rectangle Radiating Stitches Dies. Embossing the piece with an embossing folder and the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine simulates the quilting stitches. I used the retired Tufted embossing folder but other ones that don’t have a high degree of detail would work.

The final step was to adhere this focal piece to the Moody Mauve cardstock base. I stamped a greeting from Translucent Florals stamp set on Basic White cardstock with Pretty Peacock ink and die-cut it with the circle from Radiating Stitches Dies. This was adhered to the card front with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

Supplies Used for the Beautiful Quilted Card

  • Stamp set – Translucent Florals
  • Ink – Pretty Peacock Classic Stampin’ Pad
  • Paper – Moody Mauve Cardstock 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″
    Basic White Cardstock scrap and 5″ x 3″
    All About Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper 1 piece 5 1/4″ x 4″, strip of two or three different patterns 6″ x 1″
  • Embossing folder of choice – I used the retired Tufted embossing folder
  • Adhesives of choice – I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Stampin’ Seal
  • Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
  • For your convenience, I have these items in a shopping cart in my online store. You can delete any item you already have.

Beautiful Easy Fractured Card Technique

beautiful handmade greeting card using the easy Fractured Card technique and One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper

I created this card using the beautiful easy Fractured Card Technique. It is also called the Faux Shutter Technique and in a camera shutter. While it looks very complicated because it looks like the designer series paper has been cut into pieces and then adhered, it is really quite easy. Other Fractured Card techniques call for die-cutting the diamond out of the top and second layer, putting a piece of cardstock behind the opening, and then applying the strips of cardstock on top along the opening of the top layer.

In my technique, I put down a temporary 2 1/4″ mask in the center of the card and apply the strips around the mask. Then I remove it and add the top 2″ square that has been stamped with an image or greeting.

Supplies Used for this beautiful easy Fractured Card Technique

  • Quiet Meadow Stamp Set for greeting
  • Petal Pink Cardstock – 11″ x 4 1/4″ scored and folded at 5 1/2″ for card base. Four 1/4″ strips about 5″ long. For ease of adhering, apply Adhesive sheet material to back of cardstock before cutting the strips.
  • Basic White Cardstock – one piece 2 1/4″ square for a mask and one piece 2″ square
  • One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Series Paper – 5 1/4″ x 4″
  • Early Espresso Classic Stampin’ Pad
  • Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends Deep -dark to color gem
  • Adhesive-backed Solid Gems
  • Adhesive Sheet
  • Other adhesives of choice
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Paper Snips Scissors

Fresh New Colors

photo shows  Stampin' Up! Fresh New Colors

There are fresh new colors at Stampin’ Up! Every few years, Stampin’ Up! refreshes the basic color families, Subtles, Brights, Regals, and Neutrals and this is the year. In addition to new 2023-2025 In Colors, there are 15 new or returning colors. Check out this video that introduces them.

So you have now seen the fresh new colors. Which are your favorites? Are any of the returning ones a color you were sad to see go? Leave your response in as a comment below. Here is a screen shot of the new basic colors.

This photo is a screen shot of the Stampin' Up! fresh new colors

You will be able to order these fresh new colors in combo packs of the cardstock (both 8 1/2″ x 11″ and 12″ x 12″), ink pads and Stampin’ Write Markers. The new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog sales period begins May 2.

In addition to these fresh new colors, we have a new set of 2023-2025 In Colors. You will also be able to buy combo packages of the cardstock, ink pads and markers. Check them out.

photo is screen shot of the new 2023-2025 In Colors that are added to the fresh new colors

You won’t be able to see these in my online store until May 2 but I encourage you to check out the Last Chance items. The consumables will sell out fast. Some of the items will be discounted starting April 4. You can buy them now at the regular price. There are bundles that are retiring. This does not necessarily mean that the die and the stamp set is retiring, just the bundled price. You can tell which are those bundles because the stamp set is not on the Last Chance list.

Also, the Stamparatus is being retired. If you have been considering getting this, DO! I don’t use mine all the time but is is most helpful when you have solid stamps that don’t hold the ink as well. Put your paper in the Stamparatus, lay the stamp on the paper, pick it up with the acrylic plate, ink, stamp and repeat as necessary. You can stamp over and over again as long as the magnet holds the cardstock still.

I’m excited about the fresh new colors. I hope you are too!

Flash Report! Prices Going Up!

image is of a dollar sign and jagged arrow showing in this Flash Report that prices are going up!

I need you to read this Flash Report because prices are going up. With the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog beginning May 2, you will see that inflation hits rubber stamping! There will be increased prices on these items:

photo is a list of Stampin' Up! items with increased prices

Stampin’ Up! has been very diligent in keeping price increases at a minimum over the years but the economy and shipping challenges now necesitate them. Yes, I know, living expenses have gotten exorbitant and where will we find the money for our stamping habits. I’m sure we can find a way. Remember that Stampin’ Up! products are of fine quality and you get what you pay for. Yes, we can find cheaper supplies elsewhere, but they won’t coordinate with each other like SU products do and…..you don’t get the expertise and personal service I give.

So my advice to you is to stock up on essentials before inflation hits rubber stamping May 2.

Another thing you need to know is that the 2022-2024 In Color items, inks, papers, embellishments will be retiring. Now is the time to stock up on those colors that are your favorites. You should especially get the ink refills if you don’t already have them. That way, when your ink pads dry out, you will be able to reink them. The retirement list will be coming out in April but refills will sell out quickly so don’t wait until April to order them. There are hints that there may also be a color refresh of the basic color families as well. I’ll keep you posted.

Now that you have read this Flash Report, take time to go through your supplies and make note on what you are getting low on. Also check your wish list for items that quite likely will retire the end of April. Then go to my online store and place your order. Orders placed this month of $50 or more will receive the brass butterflies as a free gift.

A New Twist on the Shutter Card

This photo is of a new twist on a shutter card created with Country Floral Designer Series paper.

Here is a new twist on the shutter card. It is called a seesaw shutter card and is very much like a trifold shutter card, the score and fold lines are just changed around. It looks complicated but it really is quick and easy to make. I first saw this fancy fold in a post on Facebook by Lavonne Schwendeman. She even shared a diagram on how to cut and score it. Thanks, Lavonne!

This paper is from the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper (160375). I hadn’t used this design yet and thought it would be perfect with the bicycles lined up along the middle but had to cut it carefully so the bicycles were in the center. The card base is Balmy Blue. I like the blue edges but Basic White cardstock for the base would make folding the score lines easier. It is a bit lighter in weight.

Start out by adhering a solid piece of the dsp to the card base before doing any cutting or scoring. You could layer the dsp after cutting and folding but calculating the measurements and shapes would be a big challenge. This way is much easier. Then I cut and scored and folded according to the diagram below. (Diagram is not to scale, sorry!) All that is left to do is add any additional elements desired.

Template for the new twist on a shutter card. It's a seesaw shutter card.

The solid lines are cut lines and dotted are score lines. V=valley fold, M=mountain fold. The size of the piece is 8″ x 4 14″. This new twist on the shutter card will fold up to fit a medium envelope.

Supplies Used for a New Twist on the Shutter Card

  • Balmy Blue Cardstock 8″ x 4 1/4″, 3″ x 1 3/4″
  • Basic White Cardstock 3″ x 2″. scraps for the hearts
  • Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper 7 3/4″ x 4″
  • Sweet Sorbet Classic Ink Pad
  • Multipurpose Liquid Glue
  • Deckled Rectangles Dies
  • Paper Snips
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
  • Click here to be taken to a shopping cart with these supplies ready for you to check out. You can delete any that you already have.
