Faux Diorama Grove Card

June 28, 2024 by Tracie

This week’s card is a Faux Diorama card combining the new In the Grove dies with the Grove dies and the Thoughtful Journey’s Designer Series Paper. It uses a full sheet of Pecan Pie cardstock to form the first card base and has an inner card base as well which allows for a 3 layered scene to be created while still leaving space on the inside to write your message. For all measurements and materials check out the free instructional pdf below.

There is one day left of the bundle sale where you can get an extra 10% off bundles. This sale also includes the die cut machines.

Starting July 3rd is the annual Bonus Days with Stampin’ Up. During Bonus Days you can earn a $5 coupon to spend in August for each $50 of retail you buy in July.

Since July is my Birthday Month, I will be offering a a free variety pack of 6″ x 6″ DSP with every $50 retail purchase made from July 3 – July 31, 2024.  So you can earn free DSP from me and a $5 coupon from Stampin’ Up.

August Zoom Card Classes

Invite a Friend/Beginner Class

Friday, August 2, 2024 at 7pm via zoom

RSVP by July 20, 2024

Fee: $5 plus $1 Shipping

In this class we will make a total of 3 cards, 1 of each design pictured above (The color of the first card will vary. ie. Everyone will receive this card in one of the 2024-2026 In-Colors). The purpose of this class is to invite friends who would like to try a class without a large monetary or time commitment OR for those who have followed my blog but weren’t sure about joining one of the other classes.

The class should no be much more than an hour via zoom. I will make the class kits in such away that your invited friend can do it in her own home without even investing in glue (just let me know and I will include some adhesive dots from one of my Paper Pumpkin Kits). Of course you are welcome to craft with your friend, but this is not required. The option outlined for friends of my current customers also applies to new customers.

BONUS for Current Customers: For each friend that you invite to this class who buys a kit and actually attends the class, you will receive a $5 coupon to use on a future class. There is no limit to how many coupons you can earn, the catch is they have to but a kit AND attend the class via zoom. They can email me directly to sign up or you can let me know that they want to sign up. I do need an email to send them their zoom invite and a mailing address to mail their kit unless you are delivering it to them.

Bonus for New Customers: If you enjoy the beginner class and decide to sign up for one of my Monthly classes you will get a $5 coupon to go towards your first regular zoom card class.

While no stamped images are included in the kit, I will be providing a computer generated alternative for new people who don’t yet own stamps yet. I can also provide adhesive dots for new people who don’t have glue.

Stampin’ Up Inks Used: Garden Green, Petunia Pop, and Misty Moonlight.

August 16, 2024 Zoom Card Class

Friday, August 16, 2024 at 7pm  via zoom

RSVP by August 2, 2024

Fee: $24 plus $5.50 Shipping & Handling

In this class we will make a total of 8 cards, 2 of each design pictured above. There are a lot of small die cuts in several of these cards and while none of the cards are tricky, the gluing will be a little tedious. The birdhouse is the trickiest card because it involves using paper hinges to make the birdhouse float above the card. This is not a tricky technique but does require putting the pieces in a specific order to achieve the floating look. We of course will take each card step by step during class to be successful.

No stamped images are included in the kit, you must have your own stamps and ink to complete these cards. You must also have your own adhesive and Stampin’ Dimensionals are optional but I did use some for these cards. Stampin’ Up Inks Used: Misty Moonlight, Pecan Pie, & Moody Mauve

Thoughtful Journey 2 for 1 Card

June 14, 2024 by Tracie

This week features two cards made with a single piece of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper from the Thoughtful Journeys paper pack. The free PDF file below will give you cutting instructions for cutting the DSP into 2 sections with very little left over. If you don’t want to throw out the leftovers the 3/4″ x 4″ piece could be used to decorate the inside Basic White piece of one of the cards. The pictures above show both card designs made with 3 different sheets of paper from the Thoughtful Journey DSP pack.

The circle card uses an old technique of die cutting (punches work too) part of the DSP and matting it and then attaching it back over the original place that it was cut from. Sometimes this technique is used to emphasize a beautiful flower or charater on the DSP, but in my case I used it to stamp the sentiment. I reattached the matted DSP to the card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals make the sentiment pop up from the background.

Hope you enjoy this week’s card and don’t forget to check out the Bundle sale going on through the month of June.

June Stack of Cards Class via Zoom

Saturday, June 29, 2024 at 6pm via zoom

RSVP by June 15, 2024

Fee: $55 (plus Shipping & Handling TBD)

This class features the new Thoughtful Journey’s Designer Series Paper. We will be using 1 sheet each of all 12 designs in this pack of DSP to make 21 cards (approx. $2.61/card). There are a total of 6 designs and we will make 3 of each design except for card D. We will make 6 of card D, but there will be 3 different color schemes for card D because of the 3 different sheets of DSP used to make this card.  Card A is a multi layered fold out card. It actually has 3 layers to fold out to get to the message on the inside. Card E is uses 1/2 a sheet of 12″ x 12″ paper to make this card base that accordian folds. When you open it up it shows a whole scene and each of your cards will have a different scene because we will use 3 different sheets of DSP. Basically even though we are using the same 6 designs to make these 21 cards, each one will look different because we will be using 12 different designs from this beautiful Thoughtful Journey’s DSP pack. As always, everything will be precut, die cut, embossed, or punched for you. You only need your favorite sentiments to finish these cards.

No stamped images are included in the kit, you must have your own stamps and ink to complete these cards. You must also have your own adhesive and Stampin’ Dimensionals are optional but I did use some for these cards. Stampin’ Up Inks Used: Blackberry Bliss, Pecan Pie, Mossy Meadow, and Night of Navy. Stamp sets used: Keeping Tabs (tiny happy birthday), Unbounded Love, and Simply Said
