2024-2026 In Colors

I received my new Annual Catalog pre-order this weekend, and I was inspired to make these favors with our beautiful new In Colors! They are ready just in time for Easter, and I already shipped them out to my daughters to share with their coworkers, many of whom will be working this weekend.

From left to right, the base colors are Peach Pie, Petunia Pop, Summer Splash, Shy Shamrock and Pretty in Pink. These colors will be available to customers on May 1. It is a Demonstrator perk to get them early (and at a discount).

If you have any questions about joining, please don’t hesitate to ask – especially at this time of year when you may have a big “Last Chance” list and/or if you are stocking up to beat the price increases. You can always get more for your money with the Starter Kit, and future purchases are discounted.

My favors are made from a 3 1/8″ x 11″ strip of cardstock, scored at 4 1/4″, 5 1/4″ and 9 1/2″. I used dies from the Excellent Eggs collection to cut the opening and for the cute stitched details on the flap. I used three punches to speed up production – the Easter Bunny, Banners and Bough punches.

There are a few more sneak peeks here too – the cute flowers are from the Country Flowers bundle that will be available in the new catalog. And did you notice the yummy In Color accessories – the stitched ribbon and gems? Love those details!

Maybe less exciting, but still important…the bunny is punched from another new color, Basic Beige. The greeting is from our most recent Paper Pumpkin kit.

My pouch is only 1″ wide for a flat cello bag of Dove chocolates. You can easily play with your pouch dimensions to suit your treat. I presented this on Facebook Live yesterday, you can view the video below. Please join my Buckeye Inklings Stampers Group on Facebook to get notice of all of my live videos.

New Annual Catalog, Last Chance Lists and Price Increases

Demonstrators are getting a look at our upcoming 2024-2025 Annual Catalog this week! If you have ordered from me in the past 6 months, you will get a copy mailed to you in mid-April. If you would like a copy and have not ordered recently, or if you need a Demonstrator, just let me know! Email me at stampyourworld@gmail.com. I am happy to send a copy to anyone who is interested.

As always, the new catalog is accompanied by our Last Chance Products sale. The sale prices will be in effect April 9-30, but products are only available while supplies last. Use the links below to see the Last Chance Lists from both the 2023-2024 Annual and Jan-Apr 2024 Mini.

Gift Card Holders with Hooray for Surprises

I love the zip strip die in the Hooray for Surprises bundle. It creates a perforated strip – you can see an example, slightly pulled open in the example at top left.

This weekend, I started using this die for gift card holders…and couldn’t stop! I presented these cards on a Facebook Live yesterday, and I have copied it to YouTube and linked it below.

In my first example, I created a simple panel on a card front.

  • Fresh Freesia 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″
  • Azure Afternoon 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
  • Designer Paper (Bright & Beautiful) 3 3/4″ x 5″
  • Lemon Lime Twist 2 3/8″ x 3 1/8″
  • Basic White 2 1/4″ x 3″

Keep in mind that you cannot complete these cards until you have the actual gift card ready to be hidden behind the panel – it gets sandwiched between the layers!

I love projects that rely on designer series paper – the beautiful prints carry a project! It’s especially great when we have lots of free dsp, like we do now in Sale-a-bration. These monochromatic rainbows are from Sunny Days, one of our “Free with $50” rewards.

Each of these cards started from a 5 1/2″ x 12″ piece of designer paper. They are scored slightly differently, and you can see that from the opened-up picture of the cards below. The stamps and dies are from the Sending Love bundle.

The upper one is scored at 1″, 5 1/4″ and 8 3/4″ – take special care with directional prints. Refer to the video if you need help on this. I scored each of these on my scoring board with the outside (rainbow print) facing up.

The 1″ section can be glued down under the inner mat, or secured only at top and bottom to create a pocket as shown above.

  • Shaded Spruce mat for Scalloped Contour Shape 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″
  • Shaded Spruce for insert – smaller to fit pocket or to be hidden by front panel – 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″
  • Basic White for insert 3″ x 4 1/4″

The lower one is scored at 4 1/4″ and 8 1/2″, leaving a larger width for the gift card. Again, be careful when planning directional prints.

  • Shaded Spruce mat for Scalloped Contour Shape 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″
  • Shaded Spruce for insert – same as front – 3 1/2″ x 4 3/4″
  • Basic White for insert 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″

You can change the orientation of these. I really love how the layout of the first mailbox card (with pocket) worked on my Bee Mine version in the opposite direction…

This one is made with the “Free with $50” Most Adored dsp.
