Snailed It Stationery Set

I’m so glad you stopped by to check out this stationery set using the soon-to-be retiring Snailed It bundle. I included a mini paper pad, 2 note cards & envelopes and a velcro booklet to hold them all together. I’m sorry to say the DSP is already sold out. But it’s still super cute and you could make this with your own handmade DSP using the stamp set or other paper you have so I’m still going to share it. Be sure to grab a copy of the stamp set and dies (the dies are half off!) before they sell out too!

First take one sheet of 8-1/2″ x 11″ cardstock and cut it down to 7-5/8″ x 11″.

You will cut this on the long side at 4-9/16″ to get the two pieces below.

Score the piece on the left at 3/8″ along the right side and 2″ up from the bottom for the pocket. Keep the little tab on the bottom right and fold and glue on that panel to add a little gusset to hold the cards.

The other piece on the right should be 6-7/16″ wide by 7-5/8″ tall. Score that piece at 3/8″ along the left side, 1-1/2″ from the right side and again 3/8″ in from that, and also 2″ up from the bottom for the pocket.

Snip off the bottom right corner on the right panel.

See the tabs on the bottom of the right panel on both sides? Snip those off too, it was too loose to put in the notebook with those still on. You’ll be using a thin line of liquid glue to fold up the pockets. Add an extra line of glue along the bottom of the right pocket, where the fold is. That way the notepad is more centered on the panel and doesn’t “sink” too low.

I got the notepads from the Dollar Tree in a stack of 5. I just used one of the notepads and slipped the cardboard backing in the pocket after it was glued and dry. This way the notepad can be replaced once it runs out of paper.

I added DSP to the front cut at 4″ x 5-1/2″ and 1-7/8″ x 5-1/2″ using the Snailed It DSP. I also punched some patterns from this paper using the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. The envelope die in these dies is so stinking cute! That envelope die and the stitched postage label die used below are worth getting the die set alone, especially at half off. Such useful pieces.

I created two note cards using the DSP and the stitched label die. The snails are cut out from the DSP too. There are stamps that match these exact images in the stamp set since the DSP is sold out. I stamped the notepad with the mushrooms to add some extra cuteness. That’s stamped in Calypso Coral. I was going to do Blushing Bride to match the DSP but I didn’t want it to be too subtle. I thought the Real Red would be too harsh.

Can you see the velcro dot on the inside of the right panel? It’s clear so it’s pretty hard to see. I like those small velcro dots as they don’t add a lot of bulk to papercrafts. I could have put a small magnet under the DSP on the front sides instead, but I haven’t used my velcro dots in a while. You can also see the two 1/8″ holes I punched in the front panel to secure the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. I thought it added a nice flair to the front.

Thank you for stopping by! Be sure to keep hopping along to see other retiring favorites by others on the Stamping with Friends Design Team. Don’t forget to place your order before your favorites are gone for good. Happy stamping!

New ‘Hey Chick’ Bundles Available TODAY!

In 2017 the stamp set Hey Chick was available as a Sale-a-bration item and it was very popular. These funny chickens were popping up all over the place. I especially love the one with the poofy head popping in from the side, haha! I was thrilled to see the Hey Birthday Chick stamp set in the new spring mini with the same chickens from 2017 in different poses. But wait there’s more! They decided to add dies to complement it AND bring back the 2017 set AND make dies for that one too! Hooray! They will be available starting today, February 2, 2021, until the end of June or while supplies last.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

Chickens are such funny creatures: the noises they make, the hilarious waddle-run because they’re so fluffy and chunky, the excitement (eggcitement?) about treats. ❤ We got chickens for the first time in March of 2020. They are pretty easy to care for and so fun to watch. I love finding eggs in the nesting boxes because it means I get to eat fresh chicken eggs every morning. Should I make them a thank you card? Hahaha!

Here are some more samples using these bundles. Which chicken is your favorite? Leave a comment below.

Freebies for shopping? Yes, please!

I LOVE January because it’s full of brand new goodies and freebies from Stampin’ Up! Today kicks off our new mini catalog, the release of the new Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine AND my favorite: SALE-a-bration!

For those new to Stampin’ Up!, SALE-a-bration (SAB) is when your crafty purchases add up to even more freebies. Every $50 or $100 increment earns you free gifts out of the SAB brochure. This SAB promotion is only during January and February.

“What? Last year it was three months long. What gives?”

We are getting TWO SALE-a-brations this year! Whoop whoop! So the items available in this SAB brochure are only available for January and February, there are no second release products and we’ll get new choices for freebies later in the year. So exciting!

To check out the available SAB items you can earn for FREE right now click HERE.

We also are launching the new Mini January – June catalog. This has a bunch of spring items, Valentine’s, Easter, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, lots of flowers for all occasions as well as great every day items. I’ve just done a detailed catalog walkthrough on Facebook Live if you’ve got your favorite beverage (it’s a long one!). You can view that walkthrough HERE. Let me know what your favorite bundles are! I love the Sweet Strawberry bundle with matching freebies from the SAB brochure, among lots of others, haha! You can see all the NEW products from the January – June mini catalog in my online store HERE.

We also have a replacement for our Whisper White! Starting today you can order our brand new Basic White products in 7 different products. Those are available here. I’m sooo glad that I have a thick white cardstock available

Please let me know if you would like the annual catalog (the big one) or if you need these two new catalogs: the mini and the SAB. I’d be happy to send you complimentary catalogs. Right now with every catalog bundle I send out I’m also including a unique “artist trading card” as a mini preview of something new from the catalogs. I’ll be showing these on my Facebook page throughout the month. When you see the one you received, make sure to take a selfie with it and post it! You’ll get a discount on your first order from me through the end of February. More free stuff, yay!

One more thing! The Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (I’m going to call this the mini boss) is available starting today! Here’s the blurb from the website: Spend your time crafting, not cutting! The Stampin’ Up! Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine makes precise cuts and detailed embossed images every time. Use with dies and embossing folders to easily create accents and elements for cards, scrapbook pages, party invitations, classroom projects, and more.

This mini boss folds up just like the new big boss. Both of these machines can be seen HERE. If you order either one of these from me I will gift you a free embossing folder of your choice. Yes, there are a few choices of embossing folders, even for the mini boss! You can place your order and let me know which folder you want. The next time I order I will order it for you and mail or deliver it to you when it arrives. I use my big boss on nearly every project I make, usually a stitched tag shape. If you are new to either machine I highly recommend the Stitched Shapes dies as you’ll get a great variety: four each of circles, ovals and squares with stitched details. I have used this die set the most out of all my dies. (Tip: If you get the mini boss and these dies, make sure you add another $10 to your order to get more in SAB freebies!!)

STITCHED SHAPES DIES

As an additional bonus during SAB there is also a free stamp set at the $300 level. It’s called Punch Party and it’s super cute.

Christmas Countdown Box…or is it?

This is the Christmas Countdown box kit, a returning favorite from last year’s Christmas catalog. The box is premade and sturdy, as are the cute little boxes inside. It comes with all the supplies needed to decorate as shown above here. BUT…wait there’s more! In the catalog it hints that you can decorate this as a storage piece to go with your decor, as birthday packaging or as a different holiday countdown. There is truly no limit to what you can do with this box, but sometimes it’s hard to come up with the ideas. So I’ve searched and brainstormed and I’ve come up with over 30 other ideas of how to use the box, how to decorate and what you could put inside.

“That’s great, but I can only choose one of the ideas.” NOT TRUE! You could actually do nearly ALL of the ideas with this trick:

Velcro dots!

What a great idea, right?! I didn’t come up with it, but I did scour the internet for lots more great ideas and brainstormed for a while on what else you could do with it. So as a ‘thank you’ for ordering the kit from me I will email you my idea list with over 30 ideas of how to use, decorate and fill this box including some printables! Which idea will you use first?

#spreadthejoy

*A note about this kit: As I mentioned this is a returning favorite from last year. Last year there was an optional stamp set available to decorate the front. The directions in the kit are the same, suggesting you decorate with the stamp set, which is no longer available.

BUT I’ve decorated this kit using JUST the contents of the kit. Panels 2 and 4 are the ones that I modified with extra kit pieces instead of using stamps and the others I just followed the directions. I think they turned out cute!

Beautiful Autumn Versatility

What’s inside the NEW catalog?

Annual Catalog 2020-2021

It’s always exciting to see the new items available in the Stampin’ Up! catalog. Where are my stamp geeks at? This is the annual catalog which will be available for the entire year from June 3, 2020 to May 3, 2021. The catalog program is switching up just a bit which I think will be fantastic. The annual catalog is actually a smidge smaller than years prior BUT the two supplement catalogs will be bigger and around for longer than before. That is great news. More time with the Christmas catalog? Yes, please! (It starts in August. Wow!)

There is also a Beginner Brochure which is small and easy to navigate. This is intended to make it easier for beginners to know where to start. There are actually two stamp sets in there that aren’t even in the annual catalog so everyone will be getting BOTH catalogs when you request a catalog because I don’t want you to miss out on anything.

Here are links for you to view the annual catalog and the beginner brochure.

There are a few promotions going on in June as well that I want you to be aware of. For any party or personal order that reaches $250+, the hostess or orderer gets an additional $25 free in Stampin’ Rewards! So instead of getting $25, you’ll be getting $50!

If you are looking through the catalog and your wish list is SUPER LONG like mine is you might consider getting the starter kit which has an additional awesome bonus in the month of June. The starter kit is always the best deal in the catalog. You get $125 worth of product for only $99. You’ll enjoy free shipping on this order, a free past Paper Pumpkin kit, business supplies, and a box of current catalogs to hand out to your friends. Plus you can enjoy a 20% discount on your future orders. As a demo I get to view and order from catalogs at least a month early. There is NO OBLIGATION to sell or have parties and you’ll get no pressure from me to do so. If you want to continue getting the discount you can meet the quarterly quota and if you don’t you just get to be my customer again. BONUS: In the month of June you get to pick ANY bundle from the catalog for FREE on top of all the other goodies you pick out. I love that Stampin’ Up! lets you pick your own starter kit instead of picking it for you. You get what YOU want! So if you want everything, consider this option and join my team #spreadthejoy. <3

PS. You can stack these two offers together! Get the starter kit for $99, get the extra bundle AND host a party/place an order over $250 and enjoy all the extra Stampin’ Rewards yourself! Gotta love freebies. You have until the end of June!

Information on the Starter Kit

Join me on Facebook for a catalog walk-through today, which will stay posted for viewing later. Enjoy your day and happy crafting!

Hello 2020!

Who’s ready to jump into 2020?  I’m so excited for this year.  I’ve revamped small weekly classes to one big class a month with a fun new option to get the class for free.  Here is the link to this month’s class with details.  Next month’s will be posted soon on Facebook.  Each monthly class should include a quick and easy notecard, a regular size card, a 3D item and a “wow” project.  This month’s “wow” is a spinning heart card that I’m super excited about and I also am loving the fabulous purse/tote die from the Best Dressed Suite.  The stitching on the edges is so cute.  If you’d like to get registered for this class or for future classes in Williamston, MI, please go to my Facebook page HERE to see the current class.  And hooray for 2020!

Teacher Thank You Gift Card Pocket Card

I can’t believe another school year went by already!  My oldest will be in MIDDLE SCHOOL next year!  My son will be in third and the twins will be going to first grade.  So crazy!  Time sure is flying by.  We’ve been super busy this spring and life doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.  Life is about the journey, not the destination though, right?

I really like how this teacher thank you card came out.  I am in love with the Daisy Delight stamp set and punch.  They always turn out beautifully.  And I love the idea of the hidden pocket inside for a gift card.  Let me tell you how I put this together.

First I took a piece of Whisper White cardstock and cut it halfway down the long side, so the piece is 4 1/4″ x 11″.  Score this in the middle at 5 1/2″ and also 2 7/8″.  This will fold in to form the pocket on the inside of the front.  I decorated this with a piece of Designer Series Paper in Lemon Lime Twist and then the flap with a solid piece of Lemon Lime Twist stamped with Lemon Lime Twist.  Can you tell I like this color?  Ha!  Actually I think the pocket is a bit over-decorated so I think I may just do the lemon lime twist on the white fold-over pocket on the next one.  I do have to make 4 of these for the kids’ teachers.  I also punched with the Every Day Label Punch on the edge of the pocket before I glued down the edges with Tear and Tape.

The ink colors I used are Basic Black Archival (retired), Lemon Lime Twist, Call Me Clover, Sweet Sugarplum (retired), and Blackberry Bliss.  (I guess I could have used Rich Razzleberry stamped off, but this was easier since I had it.  I’ll link to Rich Razzleberry below.)  It is all stamped right on the card base except for the front Daisy, which is punched out with the daisy punch.  I stamped the daisy in Sweet Sugar Plum and then used a sponge dauber right on the stamp in the center in Blackberry Bliss.  After punching the flowers out I sponged lightly again in Blackberry Bliss in the center.  I punched out a 1/2″ circle in Lemon Lime Twist for the center of the flower and put the largest Faceted Gems in clear on top.  So pretty!  I really like the gradient in the leaves.  I got the idea from Pinterest from Artisan Paula Dobson.  The leaf fill stamp is stamped in solid Lemon Lime Twist and then I sponged on Call Me Clover on half of the image before stamping it over the outline I had already stamped on the front.

I also stamped the cute little bee from the Touches of Texture stamp set and colored in the body with Crushed Curry and a Blender Pen.  I also colored the wings with Wink of Stella.  Love the subtle sparkles!  I think the teachers will like these.  I left the inside blank so I could write a really detailed note about how much we appreciate them.  I’m going to have the kids include thankful notes to fold inside as well.  Teachers love to hear how the kids loved being in their class.

Have you made any teacher gifts this year?  I’d love to see what you’ve made!  You can add a picture to our Facebook group .

Happy stamping!

Magical Day – Dragon Cave

My son just turned 8 and he wanted me to make him a birthday card with a blue dragon that was also a shaker card.  Challenge accepted!  This was a lot of fun to create, but it did take a while!  It actually has quite a bit of painting involved, using my aquapainter.  I think it turned out pretty fantastic, don’t you think?!

This Magical Day stamp set is amazing and I’m so surprised that it is on the retiring list.  Get it now, while you still can!  It’s so cute with the mermaid, unicorn, dragon, knight and wizard along with the nice sentiments and sparkle stamps.  I’m getting a lot of use out of it.  My son made thank you notes to his friends in his birthday goodie bags with the tiny sparkle elements in this set.  I let him pick out exactly what stamps and ink colors he wanted to use.  They turned out really cute!  And he did them all himself.  He chose Dapper Denim, Crushed Curry and Lemon Lime Twist.

Ok, back to the birthday card!  I used Thick Whisper White as the base of my card.  The top layer is Shimmery White because I knew I’d be water coloring on it.  The middle layer is Basic Black.  First I cut a circle out of the center of my shimmery white top layer, which I think was the second biggest in the layering circles framelits dies.

Then I laid that over the black panel to see where to stamp my sentiment.  I wiped my embossing buddy on the black cardstock to reduce static, stamped my sentiment in versamark ink and sprinkled with white embossing powder.  I tapped off the excess and heat set that with my heat tool.  So far so good!

I stamped the dragon in Memento ink on Whisper White cardstock, cut him out with the matching framelit and colored him in with the Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends.  I love those things!  When they are back in stock, make sure you snag as many as you can.  And there are new colors coming with the new catalog!!!  (Can you tell, I’m so excited?!)

I used my aqua painter and ink pads to paint on the shimmery white piece.  I made horizontal black stripes around the cave with Basic Black archival ink.  Then I made a light wash with Smoky Slate underneath the cave and around the cave again after the black dried.  Then I added a little bit of Crumb Cake all around for depth of color.  I stamped a scrap piece of white multiple times with Smoky Slate using the heart from the Sure Do Love You stamp set (another one that’s retiring!).  Then I used the larger cloud die from the Up & Away Thinlits to create the rocks.  They looked kind of blah, so I added shadows with Basic black, and also some jagged lines to break up the circular cloud shape and then the crumb cake on top of that really finished those off nicely.  I added some fire tendrils using Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Tangerine Tango and Real Red up top, but it looked strange the rocks were on fire, so I added some mossy tufts to be on fire with Garden Green and Lemon Lime Twist.  Whew!

For the shaker part, I turned over the shimmery white piece and adhered a window sheet square to match over the opening.  Then I put the foam adhesive strips right around the hole and also a bit along all four sides for support.  I poured in a generous amount of gold glitter flakes before I took the backing off the adhesive strips.  This is the point of truth!  Carefully taking all the backing off so as not to spill the glitter I also had to carefully align the black middle layer with the sentiment side down (so it would show through the cutout) so that the sides were even.  Ahhh!  Nerve wracking!  I got it fairly straight but not perfect.  Usually I don’t have a sentiment inside and just put a scrap down for the backing before turning it over and applying it to my card.  This was a bit harder but I managed it in the end.  I just had to adhere the dragon and my rocks and the card is finished!  It took probably 2 hours of planning and execution, way longer than I anticipated, but my dear son is worth it.  Let me know what you think!  Please leave a comment below and join my mailing list to be updated on future posts.

I’m running a special this month, April 2018!!  I will send you a gift in the mail for any order of $30 or more as a special thank you for helping me promote this month to the next level demonstrator!  I’m super close, less than $150.  Please help me reach my goal and let me spoil you!  😀
