Happy New Year!

Happy 2024!  I don't know what happened to 2023 but here I am AGAIN - at the beginning of a new year - hoping to get back to sharing my Stampin' Up! projects on a regular basis.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will bookmark my blog and visit often.  You can also find me on Facebook, You Tube, and Pinterest - but I hope to use my blog for sharing measurements and directions for making some of my projects.

For these New Year's cards I used a past Paper Pumpkin kit (July 2020: Summer Nights.)  I actually had this kit in my "Prize Box" to give away!  But when I went to make this card - it came to mind, and I pulled it out and this is what I came up using just one of the stamps in the kit.

As you can see - in one verson I included the year, die cut from a set of retired alphabet dies.  But we do have the Alphabet A La Mode dies in the 2023-24 annual catalog - which would work.

These cards are also made using three of the 2022-24 In Colors: Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, and Tahitian Tide - which will be retiring at the end of April.  If you like these bright, fun colors - be sure to purchase the ink pad, refills, card stock, and any Designer Series Paper, ribbon, and embellishments with these colors before they are gone! 

You might think you have plenty of time to get these products - but as we get closer to April, the products will be while supplies last - and may not be available towards the end of the catalog selling period.   

January is a great time to stock up on these items - because with each $50 purchase, you will be able to select a Sale-a-Bration for FREE!  I will post information on January 4, when the promotion begins.

Finally, I have a tip for you!  When you are finished with your Stampin' Dimensionals - don't throw away those bits from the edges!  They are great for popping up any elements on your card front - to give it extra dimension.  But they especially work great for smaller odd shaped pieces like the numbers on my card.

Once again - thanks for stopping by and here's wishing you a happy, healthy new year - full of stamping!

Happy New Year 2023!

 I hope that 2023 will be a happy, healthy new year for you!  It has a long time since I posted new projects here on my blog - and my goal for the new year is to post AT LEAST once a week .  I think I have been busier since retiring in 2019 - but hopefully this will be the year that I figure out how to do it all!  LOL!

The beautiful shimmer paper that I used to make this card is a new product from the upcoming Jan/Apr 2023 mini catalog.

Happy New Year!

No surprise that I am late wishing you a Happy New Year!  I believe that I have a pretty good excuse - I've been super busy creating projects to share with you from the Jan-June 2021 mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration brochure.  The catalog goes LIVE tomorrow and Sale-a-bration starts then as well.  You can earn exclusive stamp sets and Designer Series Paper packs with qualifying orders.  I've been giving sneak peeks at some of the products in a private Facebook Group, 2 Sisters Stamping.  As you may have guessed, my sister is co-hosting the catalog launch with me - so you are getting DOUBLE the amount of sneak peeks.  It's not too late to join the fun - just CLICK HERE to see all the products we have been sharing, and to have a chance to win prizes!!!

These cards were made using the PLAYING WITH PATTERNS Designer Series Paper from the Stampin' Up! annual catalog.  This is a pack of 6x6 paper (48 sheets - 4 each of 12 double sided designs.)  Such a great pack of paper for making cheery and festive cards.  Match it with the coordinating card stock colors and you can't go wrong!

You may have noticed that on some of these cards I kept the small banners straight, and on the other cards I placed them on an angle. I added a small piece of GOLD FOIL CARD STOCK to the right edge of the DSP and matted the greeting using the Gold Foil as well.  Do you know where I got the Happy New Year sentiment?  It's from one of my favorite stamp sets, ITTY BITTY CHRISTMAS.  I just inked up the "Happy New Year" from one of the stamps using a Stampin' Write marker

Supplies needed to make these cards:

• Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Night of Navy, or Purple Posy card base 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
• Playing with Patterns Designer Series Paper, cut 3-3/4 x 5
• Gold Foil Sheet cut 1/2 x 5  and 7/8 x 2-3/4
• Whisper White for the greeting 5/8 x 2-1/2
• Night of Navy Stampin' pad 
• Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set 
• *I added some retired gold sequins to the front of the card

I think it is easy to use the photo to assemble this card. The small banners under the greeting are made with scraps of the card stock and DSP.  I punched the ends using the BANNERS PICK A PUNCH  The longer banners are 2" and the shorter are 1-1/2"

If you have any questions, please EMAIL me and I would be happy to help you!

Happy New Year - 2020

Happy New Year!  I can't believe another year has come and gone, and that it's also the beginning of  a new decade.  The years just seem to fly by!  I spent the last day of 2019 making cards to send to a few friends that did not get a Christmas card from me (for various reasons!)

This card uses almost all retired Stampin' Up! products.  The card stock is Lost Lagoon and the numbers were cut from BIGZ Dies (who remembers them?!)  The glimmer paper is in the current catalog, and the little flecks of color on the white card stock piece are made with the Waterfront stamp set - also in the current catalog.

This card was made using Designer Series paper from the current holiday catalog - but which has sold out.  I cut the DSP into 1/2" strips, spaced about 1/8 inch apart.  I used foil paper to cut out the "happy" using the current Well Wishes dies and placed it over an oval cut from Whisper White card stock using a stitched oval die.  The 1/4" copper trim is also available in the current annual catalog.  I used retired punches and the retired Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set for the greeting.

This card is similar to the first one above - but I used the large number dies (also retired) and Blackberry Bliss card stock.

There are only 2 days left to order from the current holiday catalog.  The new spring mini catalog goes live on January 3.  Sale-a-bration also starts, where you can earn free products with a qualifying order.  Please check back for more details.

CONTACT ME if you would like a copy of the spring mini catalog.

Happy New Year!

Wishing you a Healthy and Happy New Year!

This is a card that we made at my December stamp club classes.  I designed projects that used retiring products from the 2017 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog - products that you can only get through TOMORROW, January 2.  You can see all of the projects we made by CLICKING HERE.

The Happy New Year card came about because I did not want to waste the Silver Foil paper that we used when making the card below:

On this card, I cut a piece of silver card stock 4 x 5.25 to place behind the white piece embossed with the snowflake and the snowflake strip of paper.  That is a lot of silver card stock that is just being covered up - so I used my Large Numbers dies and cut out "2018" from the top portion of the silver - then covered the holes using the white embossed piece. 

This is how I positioned the numbers when cutting them out from the silver card stock using the Magnetic plate and the Big Shot.

Here is the card stock with the numbers removed.

I glued the silver card stock to the front of a Whisper White card.

This shows the embossed piece - covering the holes!

Then I added the strip of Designer Series Paper.

I took the numbers that were cut from the silver card stock to finish the "Happy New Year" card.  I cut a 3 x 4 1/4 piece of Year of Cheer card stock and adhered it to a Whisper White card base.  Then I cut a gold banner to put behind the numbers "2018."   I added the greeting from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set punched out using the Classic label punch.

Other retiring products you don't want to miss are the foil snowflakes and the snowflake embossing folder.

Remember - TOMORROW, January 2, 2018 is the last day to get most of the products I used on these cards.  CLICK HERE to see all of the items that are being discontinued - many of them are on sale!

Celebrate the New Year- Stampin' Up! Style

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas - filled with fun, family, and friends.  We enjoyed a quiet Christmas at home this year - then went to the movies in the afternoon.  Now I'm gearing up for my first stamping event of the year.  Please join me for some stamping fun!

We will have sample projects for you to see using some of the new stamp sets in the Occasions and Sale-a-Bration catalogs.  Stations will be set up for you to try out some of the new products as you make 3 greeting cards.  Come when your schedule allows - stay as little or as long as you like.   Bring a friend to join the fun!

Please CONTACT ME if you have any questions.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year!

This is a quick and easy card I made using the Confetti Stars Punch.  The stars are from the 2013-2015 In Color Sequin Assortment.  I put a rhinestone in the center of each star for added bling.

We made similar cards at my December stamp club meetings:

My new year's resolution (one of them, anyway!) is to SEND the cards I make.  I have a bad habit of keeping the cards I make as samples or to sell.  This year I am going to try to send at least one card each week.  That may not sound like much - but for me it will be a challenge.  If you stamp with me, I hope you will take the challenge, too.

If you don't stamp with me - but would like to join the fun, PLEASE CONTACT ME
