Berry Delightful Fun Fold cards with video

Here are the cards we made at my January Card Clubs featuring the Berry Delightful bundle in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  Everyone loved how easy this fold is!  

 

I gave them the choice of either blueberry or raspberry cards; this stamp set and designer paper work beautifully with both!  It also pairs fabulously with the Sweet Strawberry bundle too! 

I used Rich Razzleberry & Pacific Point card stock and ink on these cards; plus some Garden Green ink.  

Check it out here on the Sale-a-Bration choices; the Designer paper and stamp set are FREE with a $100 order while supplies last. 

And remember that those who order this bundle from me get a free 10 cards pre-cut kit and PDF tutorial!!  I have a few left. 

And it uses your card stock efficiently too! Measurements are below. 

     

See that gorgeous stitching around the inside layer?  That's the new Stitched with Whimsy dies. They stitch but don't cut.  There are 6 assorted sizes in this set.  You can see it here.  

Measurements:

• Main card 4 1/4" X 7 1/2" scored at 5 1/2"
  Designer paper 1 3/4" X 4"
  White 2 1/2" X 3 1/4" for front, 4" X 5 1/4" inside front layer 2 3/4" X 3 1/2"

You can catch my tips on stamping these 2-step images and the fun fold design below in my video.

Darling Donkey's Birthday card

The Darling Donkey's stamp set (seen here) is one of the most popular sets in our Sale-a-Bration promotion right now.  So I chose to use it for my card clubs in January.  We made this cute but easy card: 

The colors are Pool Party, So Saffron and Black.  That cute designer paper is called Flower & Field and is also from our Sale-a-Bration promotion that runs through February.  See it here. 

Both are free with any $50 order!  I love Sale-a-Bration where we can earn free items with an order.  

Sale-a-Bration traditionally runs through March. But this year it's one month short because they're offering another one in July & August!! So we actually get an extra month this year!  

The inside is stamped with the third Sale-a-Bration choice called Approaching Perfection. See it here.  It has lots of fun birthday greetings! 

You can watch the video for this quick card below.  

Measurements:

• Pool Party card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
• So Saffron 2" X 4 1/4"
• Flower & Field DSP 3" X 5 1/2"
• White die-cut 2 1/2" X 4" 

I used the Balloon Bouquet punch with this DSP for a quick accent.  I glued the Black & White twine down with liquid Multipurpose Glue.  The donkey is colored in with Blends markers.

Quick yet beautiful cards with the True Love Designer paper & video

Sometimes you can let the designer paper do all of the work.  Look at this classy, beautiful card I made with the True Love Designer Paper! 

This designer paper is all Black & White, full of floral and other prints you can use as is or color like I did above.  Click here to see it online.  

I heat embossed the greeting and punched the end with our new Treasured Tags Pick a Punch.

This beautiful stamp set has a gorgeous font and is free with any $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration (SAB).  SAB is a perfect time to purchase from your wish list since you get something FREE with your orders.  See the Heal your Heart set here.   

I used Daffodil Delight Blends marker to color in the flowers; coloring mainly on the printed lines on the flowers. Granny Apple Green for the leaves. Simple & quick! 

I also made two more striking cards with this paper and the Pretty Perennials bundle. You can watch the Live video below. 

Measurements:

• Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
• Designer Paper 3" X 4"
• Black layer 3 1/4" X 4 1/4", greeting strip is 1/2" X 3 3/4"

Easiest Shaker card you'll ever make!

Giving an interactive card makes the card extra special like shakers, spinners or fun folds.  But they can be time consuming or a lot of work.  

I used the free 'A Touch of Ink' stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  You can see it here.  That background was made with our Blending Brushes and Bermuda Bay & Calypso Coral ink.

This type of shaker card is truly easy; really!  Besides the stamped element you need three basic things:

1.  A clear envelope
2. Strong adhesive
3. Sequins, beads or tiny punched pieces

Insert your stamped card stock into the clear envelope, fold the excess envelope over to the back and seal with adhesive leaving one end open.  Add your fun filler and seal closed.  

The pretty sequins in this card are the Woven Threads sequins in the annual catalog on page 157.

I made a video in December on making one of these shaker cards.  Even though it's a Christmas card it's the same technique. Here it is:

Don't miss out on our best deal!

I want to ask you 3 questions:

1. Do you have a long wish list of Stampin' Up! products?
2. Have you ever wished you could get all of your Stampin' Up! products on sale?
3. Have you wanted to see the new catalogs early?  And order products early too?!

If you answered yes to any of the above I hope you'll tune in to my Facebook Live on Tuesday evening.  I am going to go over the truths & myths of becoming a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I'm also sharing how I got started.

Here's a link to the event.  Opt in and you'll get notified when I'm on. 

For those of you not on Facebook, I'll upload it to YouTube on Wednesday here. 

I asked my Flowerbug's to share their 'why' and it was so neat to hear their responses!  They are so happy they made the decision; I've never had anyone tell me they regretted it.  Ever!

Some have been with me more than 10 years and never held a class!  And that's okay! A few have had some classes to help them meet their minimums and a few hold regular events.

Here are their most popular reasons:

1. They love the discount of 20% or more on all their purchases.
2. They're enjoying being a part of something so upbeat and rewarding, making friends online and in person.
3. They don't want to give up the Stampin' Up! online community. There are numerous, exclusive websites they have access to with tons of inspiration not seen anywhere else. 
4. They really love getting their catalogs early and ordering from them before anyone else. 

Fact: You get $125 of product of your choice, 5 packs of 6x6 DSP ($57.50), free Past Paper Pumpkin ($21), no shipping on any of this ($20.35). So instead of $223.85... you pay just $99?! What? 

The Starter Kit is always 25% off but during Sale-a-Bration it's an even better deal with the extra 5 packs of Designer paper you get free; a value of $57!  

Remember the Starter kit is only $99 and you can choose up to $125 in product of your choice.  You get free shipping, a free Paper Pumpkin kit and lots of catalogs & business supplies.  Go here to get yours!
