I am LOVING this free Berry Blessings stamp set and even more so the gorgeous paper that comes free with it in a big fun freebie bundle. I decided to do it justice and create a fun fold card with it. It just so happens to be National Blueberry Pancake Day today, ha! How fun is that? If you’d like these items for free too all you need to do is place an order of $100 or more and choose them as your free gift.
Card base: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored on the long side at 4-1/4″ and 2-1/8″
DSP layers: 4″ x 5-1/4″ and 1-7/8″ x 5-1/4″
Layering die cuts: 3 large (2 colored and 1 white) and 2 smaller (white) I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies and used the middle two sizes of the 8 layering rectangles. (Not the three largest or the three smallest: the center two!) You can experiment with different shape dies.
I hope you play along with me! I would love to see your swing fold card either with these items or what you have on hand. You can see a video tutorial on YouTube.
If you are interested in the Berry Delightful Bundle I would be so grateful for your business. You can shop by clicking any item below. Please use the host code JTVK4JCJ for the month of January 2021 if your order is less than $150. For a new code or any other questions, please feel free to email me at debjoysmeak@delightofmyart.com and I’d be happy to help. Happy stamping!
I made these a few years ago for a craft fair and they were a hit. They are simple to put together, but are so stinking cute for the easy effort. I have a tutorial on YouTube here, or you can watch it on my Facebook page here and make comments and post your own versions. Here are the dimensions again for reference:
Base – 1″ x 3 5/8″, scored at 1 1/8″ at each end, corners rounded
Wrap – 1 3/8″ x 4 1/2″, score at 3/4″ on one end
Flag – 1″ x 1/4″ plus a mini punched heart
Some of the DSP is retired, but that’s the beauty of this project. You can use what you have on hand to create it as long as you have a paper pattern you like and a matching color cardstock. I listed the current and retired patterns I used below and also the one that’s coming in a couple of days that I ordered to use on this project: Love You Always Specialty Designer Series Paper (which will also be GORGEOUS for other things as well). I’ll post pictures of the mailboxes made with the new paper on Facebook after my order comes in in a few days. If you do wish to place any orders, cash in on Sale-a-bration and earn free stuff, please use host code JTVK4JCJ during January 2021. (If your order is over $150, don’t use the host code.)
If you make some of these mailboxes I would be thrilled to see them! You’re welcome to post pictures under the Facebook Live video HERE. This is a no-stamping project, but I still wish you Happy Stamping! 😊
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!!)
Stampin’ Rewards! If your order is over $150 (or you have a party and all orders together are over $150) then you receive rewards based on the total according to this chart. If your order is under $150, please use the January host code JTVK4JCJ and I’ll send you a free card in the mail.
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. It coordinates with quite a few of our current punches (sold separately): Rectangular Postage Stamp, Double Oval Punch, Heart Punch Pack. The best way to earn this is to get together with friends and host a party. You can even do this online! Let me know if you’re interested by emailing me at debjoysmeak@delightofmyart.com.
