Stack, Cut, and Shuffle Card Set

Once a month I teach a "Coffee and Cards" class at one of my city's recreation centers. This month I had the ladies make a set of 4 cards using some of my retired Designer Series Paper. I took four pieces of designer paper, cut them all at once following the cutting guide below - then shuffled the pieces around on the four cards. This is a great way to use up paper - so you can buy more! And all of the cards will be beautiful because of the color coordination of Stampin' Up! products.

I also cut 4 mats using Night of Navy card stock. I placed one of each patterned paper pieces onto the mats -and then rearranged them until I was happy with the way they looked. Because the paper did not have a directional pattern - I was able to make two horizontal cards and two vertical cards. I layered each mat with the patterned paper onto a regular 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 card base. I used various punches and dies to add greetings to the cards.

At class - I encouraged the participants to arrange the paper however they wanted - and to check the back side of the paper as well. They all came up with different cards- which are pictured below!

I love how they all made their cards unique - and especially liked the look of using just two patterns, like in the photo above. Again, this is a great way to use some of that designer paper that I'm sure you have been hoarding!

If you live in the Chesapeake, Virginia - or any of the surrounding cities - please consider joining me at my next class on Friday, May 30th. I do not have registration info at this time - so please reach out to me if you are interested and I will send the link when it becomes available.

Be sure to check out the LAST CHANCE LIST for some amazing discounts on retiring products. They are only available while supplies last - so get them while you can!

Please contact me if you have any questions!

Saturday Sketch #15

Here is a card that I made using a card sketch. I just recently inked up the SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE stamp set - because I thought it was retiring and wanted to show my customer group what a great stamp set it is. But - I think it may be sticking around a little while longer - because I did not see it on the last chance list. Yay! It's a great set - and the SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE DIES are amazing. They could be used with almost any stamp set on any card.

Basic Directions for making this card (measurements in inches):

Fresh Freesia card stock base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2
White layer/embossed using Exposed Brick embossing folder: 4 x 5-1/4
3 strips of Subtles Designer Series Paper: 5/8 x 4-1/2 (on the Last Chance List)
Circle cut from Spotlight on Nature dies
Flower image is stamped on Thick Basic White card stock (using Fresh Freesia ink) and "fussy cut"
Greeting is from the Textured Floral stamp set (on the Last Chance List)
Brass Butteflies

Here is a close up showing the embossing folder detail. This card is stunning - and really quick easy to make!

Saturday Sketch #14

Did you know that Stampin' Up! includes sketches in its catalogs? For today's card, I used a sketch that I found on page 22 of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. Even though there is a new catalog coming out soon - be sure to save your current catalog and use these sketches for inspiration! I just recently started using card sketches - and I find them very helpful when I have new products and I'm not sure what to do with them!

This card uses products that will be coming in the new annual catalog - so I can't post links to them quite yet! But there are still a lot of things to purchase from MY ONLINE STORE. Make sure to check out the LAST CHANCE LIST for some great deals on retiring items. Items from this section are while supplies last - and will NOT be re-stocked. While you are looking around my online store - don't forget to take a look at the ONLINE EXCLUSIVES. These are products that you will not see in any catalog. There are some really awesome products there, too. You may order online yourself (please choose me as your demonstrator) or contact me if you'd like me to place your order.

BEGINNING APRIL 15, 2025 - you will earn Stampin' Rewards for orders you place online (minimum $20 product purchase.) Just create an online account and then "opt in" to the rewards program. I will have more details after the 15th - when the program begins.

Below is the sketch (with measuerments!) that I used to make my card. I just rotated the card to the landscape position. I also added a mat under the stamped image - just to make it pop!
