Coming July 6 – Online Exclusives

A new batch of Online Exclusives will be released on July 6! Pay special attention to the pickup truck stamps/punch shown in the lower right corner of the graphic shown above. This bundle promises to be very popular, so get it quickly if you want it!

I am offering a special deal with this bundle, similar to the classes I presented in January. For one week only, spend $50 or more with Host Code APXDS4HZ, and I will send you a class of six cards (two each of three designs) based on the pickup truck bundle. This offer will end July 14, and you must purchase your own pickup truck bundle to complete the cards as directed. Classes will ship by July 28.

I’m sorry I don’t have pictures/samples of the pickup truck bundle for you – Stampin’ Up! only provided an early release to a limited group of demonstrators. I am waiting with you to see it on July 6. In the meantime, I do have information about a few of the other items that will be available…

Shop the online store for this new release on July 6!

Favorite New Things

I am using a few of my favorite new things from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog on this card. The WOW factor is provided by the Patchwork Pieces dies. There are two dies in this fabulous set, and I am using the starburst pattern. We have made starbursts over the years, but this one is easy – and the edges are stitched!

Item 161592 Patchwork Pieces Dies

The patchwork pieces all come from the Delightfully Eclectic collection, which is one of our big packs of 48 sheets – 4 each of the beautiful 2-sided patterns shown below.

Item 161640 Delightfully Eclectic

The Bubble Bath mat on my card measures 3 3/4″ x 5 1/2″. To make placement of the patchwork pieces easier, I made a frame of the same size (outside dimensions) from a piece of Thick Basic White. The opening in my frame measures 3 1/4″ x 5″, leaving a 1/4″ border all around. I used this frame as an overlay on the Bubble Bath, and I placed pieces up to its inner edge. The video below shows more detail.

Item 161614 Just My Type

And how could you not love this quirky typewriter set? With a few fun images and sentiments, you can make some great greetings!

Last Chance for Retiring Products

Products from the new Annual Catalog will be available on May2!! That means the Last Chance List is only available through tomorrow, May 1.

Please note that there will also be price changes on May 2 – many basics will be increasing in price. In addition, while some stamps and tools from select bundles will continue to be available in the new catalog, they will no longer be available with the 10% bundle discount.

I have sent the new Annual Catalog to current customers. If you have not received it, please contact me at stampyourworld@gmail.com. I am also happy to send the catalog to anyone who is looking for a Demonstrator – please contact me if you would like one.

I have been getting questions about this card that was included with some of my mailed catalogs. The beautiful paper and embellishments comes from our Online Exclusives, which you can find here. It is the Hello, Irresistible Designer Paper with Loose Frosted Dots.

The flowers and leaves are from the Petal Park bundle. This bundle is an example of product that will still be available in the new catalog (Petal Park stamps $23, builder punch $22) but no longer at their bundled price of $37.75 which is available through May 1.

Please keep the price increases in mind as you plan your new lists – you have one day left to shop at the past year’s prices, and one day left for the Last Chance Products. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Paper Pumpkin Anniversary Edition

Sign up by March 10 to get this year’s Anniversary Edition of Paper Pumpkin. This year’s free gift is a stamp set – this set is IN ADDITION TO the all-occasion set to make the kit’s nine cards.

If you have ever wanted to try Paper Pumpkin, I recommend this month’s kit for the extra perk! There is no subscription length – you can cancel at any time. Sign up through the Paper Pumpkin website – $23.50 includes shipping, and you will see there that you have options to suspend for months you do not want to receive.

You can also buy “prepaid” months in our Online Store. If you do this, you will receive a Promo Code by email, and you must still set up a subscription at the Paper Pumpkin website. Simply use the Promo Code in the payment section when setting up your Paper Pumpkin subscription. The advantage of purchasing the prepaid code is that your purchase qualifies for Stampin’ Rewards in the store.

There is no guarantee that extra kits will be available later – I always get asked for extras later, and there are never enough!

Fun Folds with Designer Paper

Last night on Facebook Live, I showed off two fun folds that I love. Each uses a fair amount of designer paper, so they are perfect for Sale-a-bration when we can choose to receive beautiful designer papers for free with our orders.

The first card I showed is this joy fold, and I used Dandy Designs designer paper. This paper has cute little prints that are not overwhelming, and the fronts and backs coordinate beautifully!

Dimensions are as follows:

  • Coastal Cabana 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
  • Fresh Freesia 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and 4″ x 5 1/2″, scored at 2 3/4″
  • Designer Paper 5 1/4″ x 6″, scored at 2″ (pay attention to the direction of the print)
  • Basic White 2 1/2″ x 3 3/4″ and Scalloped Contour Die Cut of similar dimensions

I used the stamp set Best Day. I love this set for its quirky images, but also for the wonderful birthday greetings. Not only do I reach for this set repeatedly, I also use every stamp in the set.

Here are two more examples of this fold. The designer paper for each of these is also Dandy Designs, but I have used the Share a Milkshake bundle on the second card.

I used the Regency Park Suite to show an example in the opposite orientation. You can find more examples in this post – note that the size of the smaller folded card can be modified.

The second layout I showed in last night’s Live is this panoramic z-fold, made with Dainty Flowers designer paper. I learned this clever fold from Laura Miller in a team meeting.

The card pulls open to showcase a continuous print over three panels. It’s a little tricky because the designer paper on the front panel extends beyond the fold so that it covers part of the middle panel when open. The designer paper on the middle panel is not as wide as the middle panel, and it is attached leaving a space at its left side.

Note how the designer paper from the front extends beyond the fold, and the designer paper from the middle does not come close to the fold. When the card is open, the image is continuous.

I do recommend watching the video carefully for this one, in order to get the cutting, scoring and placement of the panels correct.

Dimensions are as follows:

  • Starry Sky 5 1/2″ x 11″, scored at 3 1/16″, 6 3/4″
  • Designer Paper 5 1/4″ x 8 1/2″, cut at 3 3/8″ (front panel), 3″ (middle panel), leaving 2 1/8″ for third panel
  • Basic White 1 13/16″ x 5 1/4″

The stamp set here is Framed Florets, another set that I would highly recommend for its beautiful greetings! I am always on the lookout for birthday greetings in great fonts – I think we don’t get enough of them.

Thank you for checking out my cards! If you need any of our fabulous products, I would very much appreciate your business.

Playing in the Rain

Thanks so much to everyone who joined us for our Cards & Crop Hop last weekend! I have a few pictures from our setup, and this location in Reynoldsburg, OH was really perfect for the event, so we plan to do meet here again in the fall.

One of the bundles I featured at the Hop was Playing in the Rain, part of the Rain or Shine Suite. The suite features some really great colors and tools! I CASEd a card by Rachel Aziamadi for one of my make-n-takes.

A window sheet makes up a portion of the card front, and it is embossed with the Raindrops Embossing Folder.

The turtle is cut from the designer paper, which features clear embossing – you can see the shine on the turtle’s shell.

Designer paper covers the location on the inside of the card front where the window sheet is attached to the card base.

You can get more details on how to make this card from Rachel’s post.

This bundle also makes super-cute shaker cards. These shakers are made with a clear medium envelopes and For Everything Fancy Sequins. The bunnies, like the turtle in the previous sample, are cut from the designer paper.

These samples show off another of the great designer papers from this suite. On the bunny card, I created a window into the hill shape to enclose some of the fabulous Loose Daisy Embellishments.

And this final fun fold also shows off that cute field of daisies.

Thank you for checking out my cards! If you need any of our fabulous products, I would very much appreciate your business. Please click here for the online store, or use the carousel below to be directed to a specific product used today.
