Impressions Abloom Pop Up

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 07 May 2025 18:54:01 GMT

No, I am not stuck on this set of dies, however, this idea came to me through an indirect route and I of course had to change it up and do it a little differently. The Thankful Garden Bundle or the Pretty Floral Bundle could be used for this idea. Actually any set of die cut flowers would work.

I used an 11 x 4 1/4 piece of Basic White for my card base so the card opens at the top instead of the side to create a beautiful and fun easel fold

After creating the basic easel fold card, I added the flowers with the support of a window sheet.

Be sure to check out the video below and download the FREE Project Sheet for all the measurements.

April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Alternatives #19-21

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sat, 03 May 2025 19:00:00 GMT

My favorite part of my job is creating. It doesn't always come easy but this month's Paper Pumpkin kit contained beautiful Alcohol Ink papers. The papers were so beautiful and the kit included nine card bases which had the design on the front and back of the card. When cutting them apart you were able to create 18 card fronts. I started designing by cutting them apart and then went from there. Throughout the week I will post 3 cards each day for seven days that were all made with April 2025 Paper Pumpkin Inked Occasions

Card #19 This card really shows the beautiful inked card panels from the PP Kit. The background was used as the card front as well as the flowers were cut from the card panel. I used the Impressions Abloom Dies to create the beautiful images and the Squoval (square/oval) was also cut from those dies. The greeting was from one of my favorites Memorable Blooms, which is on the Last Chance List.

You will find the measurements and products used in the Free Project Sheet below

Card #20 This card is simple yet has a certain elegance about it. The Hugs was from the Paper Pumpkin Kit. It's popped up on Dimensionals. Stamp the greeting tag from the Paper Pumpkin Kit with the greeting from the kit in Tuxedo Black Momento and add the beautiful Low Profile Dots for a quick and easy card.

Full instructions are below in the Free Project Sheet.

Card #21. This is the final card I created. I made it the morning of my class because I still had product remaining and I wanted to use it up. When I do Spice Up Paper Pumpkin my goal is to use all the product that I can from kit and not have any extra to send home. This card uses the Paper Butterflies with an old Butterfly punch. I stamped the center circle with Smoky Slate using Elements of Text. In the video I stamped it with VersaMark and embossed with Gold Embossing Powder.

Full instructions are below in the Free Project Sheet.

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Fri, 02 May 2025 19:00:00 GMT

You will find the measurements and products used in the Free Project Sheet below

Card #17 This Z fold card has an added layer across the bottom. By cutting the card at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scoring at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4 you have created the Z fold card, now do the same thing again except the card is time your measurements are 1 1/2 x 8 1/2, same score lines just turn it over so the 4 1/4" section is adhered to the front and the 2 1/8" panel is adhered to the inside of the card. Emboss the front Basic White panel with Forever Plaid Embossing Folder, add a few layers of Fresh Freesia and the flowers from the Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Full instructions are below in the Free Project Sheet.

Card # 18 This is a fun book fold card showing the beauty of the card panels that were in the Paper Pumpkin Kit. The greeting I used as well as the beautiful gold Hugs was also in the kit. The butterflies just added to the beauty of the whole card.

I framed it with Gold Foil and cut the flowers from the Paper Pumpkin Kit. This greeting came from Expressions of Friendship, its one of my all time favorites for greetings.

Card # 12 When I look at this card it makes me feel good. Have you ever created a card that just blesses your heart, this is one of those. I love the color balance in this. I started with the Exposed Brick Embossing Folder, cut the shapes from Linked Together, one in Pool Party and one from the card panel in Paper Pumpkin, The flowers were cut from the Impressions Abloom Dies.

Impressions Abloom & Storybook Garden

Alcohol Blending with Stampin' Up! Reinkers

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 20:21:18 GMT

I love this new technique

To create this card I used 91% Isopropyl Alcohol, Glossy paper, Stampin' Up! Reinkers, Stampin' Up! Spritzers and rubber gloves!

This is a fun and messy creation. Since creating this one on line I have experimented and found that I got less splatter if I dropped the colors rather than spraying them. No matter what spray bottle I used it splattered all over and I wanted to eliminate that look. I still mixed approximately 20 drops of Stampin' Up! ink with the alcohol for each color and dropped it onto the paper after applying the alcohol to make it wet.

Below are the instructions on creating the card and the alcohol background paper. I love the way this one came out. The stems and flowers are both cut from the alcohol background paper.

Woven Textures Masculine Card

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 19:12:46 GMT

Looking to create a stunning masculine card that truly makes a statement? With the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper, paired with the Translucent Florals Stamp Set and Autumn Leaves dies, you can craft a piece that combines rustic charm with an elegant touch.

Here I have changed the leaves and greeting. I used the same greeting just created one without die cutting by cutting a strip of 3/4" Early Espresso, stamping with VersaMark and embossing with White embossing powder and trimming the ends an a slant. To compliment that I cut a strip of 1" Gold Foil and trimmed the ends to leave 1/8" gold foil showing. The leaves were cut from Aspen Trees Dies which are retired.

Textured Notes

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 12 Mar 2025 20:31:30 GMT

This is the card that I planned for my Wake Up Wednesday video today. This card uses the beautiful Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper, Memorable Blooms Dies and Textured Notes Dies. Accents of Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss and Basic White.

However, this is the one I started with when I was deciding what to do. This is Basic Gray, Basic White and Notes and Woven Textures Designer Series Paper. The image is stamped in Smoky Slate and colored with Old Olive and Gray Watercolor Pencils and blended with a Blender Pen.

This one was also made using Crumb Cake for the card base adding Basic White, Crumb Cake & Pebbled Path accents. The stems were cut from Charming Duck Pond Dies. The designer series paper came from Woven Textures. Adding a little of the 2023-25 In Color dots and a knot from the Pebbled path ribbon was a perfect finish

This one is a little more feminine using the same products. For this one I used Moody Mauve for the card base and the Designer Series Paper is Timeless Plaid. I love this plaid it covers such a variety of occasions. On this one I used a retired paper for two of the stems. One is cut from Vellum (retired), one from Moody Mauve and the last one is cut from what I believe is Powder Pink (retired). I used the Silver & White Sheer Ribbon for my bow and added the Clear & Pecan Pie Ribboned Dots.

My final card with this layout is my favorite. As I was getting ready for my FB Live I was cleaning off my desk. I had played with the Storybook Garden Bundle the day before and this pot was laying on my desk. It was colored with Calypso Coral light then highlighted with Cajun Craze. I also had the stems laying on my desk. When the others were cut from the Charming Duck Pond dies these were left. I had cut the DSP from Woven Textures to try to use on a card. The Crumb Cake card base was left from the other card. This is my favorite one.

Grassy Grove

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 06 Mar 2025 00:30:04 GMT

This card is easy and fun to make. I started with a few basic supplies: Basic Beige, Basic White, Night of Navy, Shades & Hues Designer Series Papers, the Grove Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies & Spotlight on Nature Dies. Add in the Birch Wood Embossing Folder and you are set!

February 2025 Paper Pumpkin

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sun, 02 Mar 2025 23:32:03 GMT

What is Paper Pumpkin? It is a monthly subscription kit that comes in the mail from Stampin' Up! You will receive your kit that includes everything you need to make the projects in the box. However, I take the kit and create alternate cards and projects. This is one of the cards I created from the February 2025 - Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin.

Just adding some beautiful Copper Foil and Basic Beige along with the Adhesive Back Metallic Gems.

Below is a video showing you how I created this card. In the video I used the Grow With Love bundle which coordinates with this Paper Pumpkin. I was trying to figure out the colors that would make the mint image look most like the one in the Paper Pumpkin. I decided the best were Old Olive, be sure to use second generation stamping and Boho Blue with a dauber.

Don't know what second generation means? You will ink the image with the Stampin' Pad, stamp it on a scrap of paper, then stamp it onto your paper you want the image on. In this situation you will ink the image on the Stampin' Pad, stamp it off, ink with 2nd color (Boho Blue) using a dauber and stamp the image.

Watercoloring with Metallic Enamel Effects

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:45:06 GMT

You could create 20 of these simple and easy cards in no time at all. This uses very little supplies and is a fun technique. This photo doesn't do it justice. It is shimmery and beautiful.

Valentine's Day Bay Window Card

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 01:20:09 GMT

Creating a Bay Window Card with Marbled Elegance Specialty Designer Series Paper is not just fun, but a breeze for crafters of all levels! With its stunning marbled patterns, this paper brings a touch of sophistication to your cards. I am here to guide you through each step, making it an enjoyable experience.

In this card I used Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, Gold Foil, a little Basic White and Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Pad. I used the dies from Hearts of Elegance Bundle which I just found out will not be available until the week of February 3, 2025. If you are an avid stamper you probably have a set of hearts in your stash. I stamped the greeting in Cherry Cobbler on the tag die from the FREE Sale-A-Bration Bundle.

Next I changed the Cherry Cobbler to a Basic White and only used one accent paper which is the NEW Shades & Hues 6 x6 Designer Series Paper. This is a remake from one of the papers we previously had which looks like paint swatches from the hardware store on one side and cracked sandpaper on the other. I changed to the Mixed Florals Bundle for the image which is colored with Petal Pink, Old Olive & Wild Wheat Stampin' Blends and finished off with a beautiful bow in the 1/2" Silver & White Sheer Ribbon.

For this one I love the beautiful Timeless Plaid 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. One side is a plaid and the other is a gingham which makes this paper so versatile. I stamped and die cut the image from Memorable Blooms Bundle in Tuxedo Black Momento. Colored the flowers in Moody Mauve and the leaves in Lost Lagoon Stampin' Blends. The tag for the greeting came from the FEE Sale-A-Bration Heart Shaped Bundle. The greeting is from Magnolia Mood Stamp Set, stamped in Tuxedo Black. I finished off with 2023-25 In Color Shimmer Dots and a double bow using Gold Twisted Thread.

This was the final one I created using, once again, Timeless Plaid 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper only this time in the Boho Blue. I used the gingham side inside the card and another gingham pattern on the outside. The card base is Boho Blue with a layer of Basic White between the cardstock and the Designer Series Paper. The image was stamped in Tuxedo Black Momento and colored with Boho Blue, Balmy Blue & Old Olive Stampin Blends. The greeting stamped in Boho Blue was from Memorable Blooms. I finished off with 2023-25 In Color Shimmer Dots

I loved how each one came out and you could use any large image on the front or you could cut a piece of 4 1/4 x 2 Window Sheet and adhere it to the inside of the card in the center and attach your focal image to that.

Storybook Moments

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 22 Jan 2025 21:23:41 GMT

This is a really quick card that uses the Storybook Moments Specialty Designer Series Paper

Which also includes two sheets of these die cuts. You could use several different one of these for this project.

I also used the 6 x 6 Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper

Wildflower Birthday Gift Bag

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sat, 18 Jan 2025 23:13:01 GMT

To create this beautiful gift bag I purchased a 5 x 8 gift bag from Michaels

Then I cut a 2 1/2 x 5 1/4 Bubble Bath and used the retired Word Window Punch to punch the opening. You could use any punch that is similar or you could cut the opening by placing it in the Paper Trimmer with the 2 1/2" side at the top and cut from 1/2" to 4 3/4", move it over 1/4" and cut another line parallel to the first one. Then cut between the ends of the two cut lines to remove the center

I used the banner that was in the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper to decorate the bag

The card was simple! The balloons came from the Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper. I stamped he greeting in Blueberry Bushel. Added a couple layers. The trick was to be sure to cut the card base at 11 x 4 1/4!

Slip the card through the opening in the decoration on the bag and you are set!

Cascading Pleat & Darling Dino

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 08 Jan 2025 20:58:17 GMT

Wow it has been way too long since I posted here I hope I remember how to do everything!

This was a fun little card to make and I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot of this style around. It is really eye catching and easy. A few little cuts and you have a unique card style. Sometimes we are looking for that fun fold that just says you are special. Here it is!

Be sure to check out the video for tips on stamping the corner greetings and flowers!

Here is another one using the same DSP. I changed to Lost Lagoon which is one of my favorite colors

Do you recognize this beautiful Designer Series Paper? It was a Black & White Pattern before. Stampin' Up! brought it back and recolored it in Lost Lagoon and Night of Navy. It is called Serene Love.

This card uses the NEW Spring Corners for the greeting and the flowered set is a Free with $120 purchase set Corners in Bloom. This one is done in Petunia Pop and Fresh Freesia, with a touch of Garden Green. The instructions above include an extra layer when using the DSP. Just eliminate the smallest layer and cut accordingly.

My final card used the Otterly Amazing Designer Series Paper. The backs of these papers are absolutely beautiful and could be used in so many ways. Be sure to check them out!

New Stampin' Up! Card Keeper Kit

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 11 Sep 2024 20:19:48 GMT

Yesterday I received the NEW Stampin' Up! Card Keeper Kit. Those of you who know me know that I never put kits together the way Stampin' Up! suggests. If you are a new stamper, this is a great kit for you. The kit includes 10 cards (5 of each design) with matching envelopes beautiful gold die cut leaves, green die cut leaves, greetings and vellum circle die cuts. Of course they have included Dimensionals and glue dots to use for creating your cards.

The box is absolutely beautiful with shimmery leaves on the outside and a clean Night of Navy dotted pattern on the inside. It is really easy to assemble and is sturdy. I will be using mine for cards that I create during the year that I want to send to a particular person at a later time.

I did create some alternate cards using the products that came in the kit and a few alternates. This kit does NOT include any stamps so you will want to have some greetings on hand if you run out of the ones provided, or need a specific greeting for a specific person.

This was the first card that I created with the products in the Card Keeper Kit. I only used a portion of one of the cards. I added Flirty Flamingo & Basic White cardstock. The greeting came from So Sincere. I also used the Painted Texture Embossing Folder and the Everyday Details Dies.

On this one I used just the little piece that was remaining after cutting the first card. I added Night of Navy to draw that color out of the card front. I also included a scrap of Pool Party and Flirty Flamingo to compliment the card piece. I used the Stylish Shapes Dies for the greeting. In this one I used more products from the kit. Adding the gold leaves and the vellum circle. I finished off with gold cord and bling.

It would make a great gift!

Scrapbooking - New to Stampin' Up!

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 27 Aug 2024 20:15:39 GMT

As we head into the holidays I want you to think about making and keeping memories. These are the photos you take every day and at holidays. During the holidays you may take photos of family members that you only see occasionally. These are fun to keep and look back on from time to time. You are also making memories for your children, grand children and future generations.

Scrapbooking gives you the opportunity to tell future generations your story. Your adventures, likes, even dislikes. If your pictures are on your phone, how will that help your loved ones know what it was all about, who those people were and will they even be able to get them when you are no longer here?

Stampin' Up! has purchased Close To My Heart and now we have our first Memory Keeping products. We are so excited about the upcoming product. These are available on September 4, 2024.

Watch for upcoming classes as well. I have not done memory keeping for a lot of years, but I think it's time, maybe past time for me to work on my albums.

Want to see the first release of products? Here they are!

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 19:43:20 GMT

Club Members this is the post for the Never Ending Card

Cut the shapes using Thoughtful Expressions Dies. Stamp the greeting in Mossy Meadow. Adhere the top and bottom DSP to the panels. Finish off with gold cord and the Berries Bling

Panel #2. Each panel opens in the middle to reveal the next section. On this one the top panel has a square cut in Gold Foil, then using the Stylish Shapes Dies layered the next one down in Very Vanilla. Stamp the greeting from Greetings of the Season Bundle. Die cut the stem in the White Vellum from the Graceful Greenery Vellum. Die cut one of the images from the Season of Green & Gold Designer Series Paper.

Season of Green & Gold

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Fri, 05 Jul 2024 17:50:52 GMT

This is such a fun suite to work with. It will make absolutely beautiful Christmas cards and I am sure many other ideas will come from it as we work with it. It is the Season of Green & Gold Suite which includes the stamps, dies, beautiful printed Designer Series Paper, printed vellum, Cherry Cobbler & Clear Berries and a beautiful 3/4" Vanilla Statin Ribbon. Today I have not used a lot of the suite due to the fact that I am packing for a class so much of it is already packed. But I had fun creating this beautiful card.

How to Make a Fun Fold with any Layout

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 20:24:15 GMT

Today I am going to show you how to take your favorite layout and make it into a fun fold. By layout I am talking about the way you have designed the front of the card.

You will notice that these two layouts are the same. I have changed the colors and flipped the Country Woods Designer Series Paper over. Not only is the layout the same but the card design is the same. A simple fold card.

For the third card you would almost just think that you were seeing the inside of the card, but that is not the change. I have done a Z fold card which makes the card have a WOW factor to the recipient. You will notice it is basically the same as the card above but instead of cutting the cardstock at 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scoring it at 4 1/4, I cut it a 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 and scored it at 2 1/8 & 4 1/4 and created a Z fold card.

The Z fold card base can be used to create 6 different cards so it it a very versatile and easy fold that just takes an extra score line to create POP

In this last card I have used the Z fold once again to create an Easel card. This time I cut the cardstock at 11 x 4 1/4 and scored at 5 1/2 & 2 3/4. Folding the score lines inward creates the easel. I have decorated the front of the card the same using the Sketched Butterflies Bundle, changed the color to Lemon Lolly, changed the ribbon to the 3/8" Frayed Grosgrain. This time I added a 3 rectangles cut from dies to the inside of the card, popped up on Dimensionals to keep the card opened.

Happy Houseplants Gone Rogue

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 02:58:55 GMT

this is one of our current kits at Stampin' Up!. I purchased them quite a while ago and they have been sitting on the shelf. just waiting to be put together. My daughter was visiting and needed a 6 x 6 frame so I pulled one out of the kit for her. Then one of my customers came over and was working on a project and I sold her the last 3 which was just what she needed for her project. So all I had left were the pages inside.

If you know me, you know that I have an issue with the "white" that is used in our premade kits, especially when combining it with the Basic White cardstock we carry in our Annual Catalog. I started working with the inside of the kits and these are the cards I came up with. They are using extra products from our catalog or our Online Store.

If you have any question please be sure to contact me. I am not doing instructions for these. I just wanted to give you some inspiration on how you can use this kit to make cards. Have fun and be creative!

Charming Duck Pond

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 20 Jun 2024 02:37:14 GMT

I loved doing this card. I know it is a little outside the box for me because it doesn't have a lot of white, which you will usually find in my cards but this was a feel good card.

Start with a piece of Pebbled Path cut at 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored at 4 1/4.
Cut Country Woods Designer Series Paper to 4 x 5 1/4, then cut an opening using the Deckled Circle Die.

Cut a 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 Basic White and cut the die with the opening and the cattails from that. Adhere it to the back of the DSP with Dimensionals after coloring the cattails in Wild Wheat and Pebbled Path.

Die cut three lily pads in Mossy Meadow, attach to the places where the lily pads are die cut using glue

Die cut the bucket from the Country Woods Designer Series Paper using the Country Flowers Bundle, color it with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blend

Die cut another set of cattails and color with Wild Wheat & Pebbled Path. Adhere the cattails to the back of bucket and attach the bucket to the front of the card using Dimensionals

To create the water use Under The Moon stamp set and Balmy Blue Stampin' Pad. Stamp it twice with the widest end of the stamp in the middle of the opening, then again with the narrow end lining up at the bottom of the previously stamped image.

For the sky- on a 5 x 3 3/4 Basic White, use a blending brush & Basic Beige Stampin' Pad. Then finish off with a small amount of Petal Pink at the top. This is attached to card front

Stamp the greeting on a scrap of Basic White in Tuxedo Black Momento and die cut with Happy Little Things

Inside has a 5 1/4 x 4 Balmy Blue and a 5 x 3 3/4 Basic White adhered on the left to write your note on.

Country Flowers & Gone Fishing

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 05 Jun 2024 18:39:15 GMT

As you can probably tell by now, I love the Country Flowers Bundle. It has such beautiful and fun images. Today's card came into existence by experimentation. I was using the Deckled Circle dies on some of my projects that I was preparing for a class. The Gone Fishing Dies were laying there on the table because I was previously preparing for a different class. I decided to experiment with the two dies and this is what I came up with. Another idea for the Gone Fishing Dies. I love it and can't wait to try some more ideas with it.

On this card I made it a Z fold card.

This is the first one I made using the large stamp from Simply Zinnias. I love the way it came out.

How to make a Buckle Card

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 29 May 2024 20:47:18 GMT

Today I want to show you how to make a beautiful Buckle card. It is really simple yet makes a statement. I used several different Stampin' Up! products including the Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper, Thoughtful Wishes Dies, Countryside Corners Dies and the Labeled With Love stamp set and Happy Little Things Dies. I am sure you can substitute the things you don't have with products you previously purchased. If you need any supplies, please click on the list below to place your order in my online store.

Country Flowers Fun Fold Card

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 22 May 2024 19:41:02 GMT

I used the beautiful Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper with the Country Flowers Bundle and a fun fold technique to create this stunning designs that is sure to impress. I have a video below to guide you through using these products to craft this beautiful greeting card.

I have a few tips in the video but I want to be sure you know the adjustments I would make:

First of all I would not use the Thick Basic White Cardstock for my card base. The cardstock is not as flexible as I would like to have seen. I would use out Basic White cardstock.

Secondly, I would have cut the inside layer at 4 15/16 x 8 1/2 just to make it a little closer to the edges when folded close. I have made the adjustments in the instructions below.

Here I used the Spotlight on Nature Dies, Eyelet Embossing Folder & Natures Sweetness Designer Series Paper. The greeting came from So Sincere.

April 2024 Paper Pumpkin Alternates

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sun, 28 Apr 2024 19:30:22 GMT

Delicate Wings

This is the first of the five Paper Pumpkin Alternates. Created with the help of the NEW Spotlight On Nature Dies to be released on May 1, 2024. This set contains 12 circle dies, each one with a different design around the edges. This is one set that you will see a lot of from me in the year to come. The greeting is from the Paper Pumpkin kit and embossed in Gold. I added a little gold cord and Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems to finish off.

Be sure to add glue only to the right side of the circles and place them through the opening on the front when the card if folded up. The card base is Lost Lagoon.

Card #2

This card base is the beautiful Moody Mauve one of the 2023-25 In Colors. I have used Blackberry Bliss to show the contrast and shadowing. The "thanks" was cut from "Thanks & Beyond" Dies that compliment the April - June Paper Pumpkins. These dies are still available to order. I used the butterflies on the inside of the card and created a pop up card.

Scoring and attaching the butterflies just adds a fun pop. On the front I once again used the Spotlight On Nature Dies.

Card #3

The NEW Basic Beige added to our color line adds a whole new dimension to card making. This is between Basic White and Very Vanilla but leans towards a lighter version of Sahara Sand. I am loving this color as it compliments every color in our collection. Here I used the Woodgrain Embossing folder to add interest to the two panels but when this card is opened is creates a box.

Here the complimenting color is Lost Lagoon and I love the soft look.

Card #4

This card layout has quickly become a favorite of mine. You can change the look by adding and taking away layers. The card in Paper Pumpkin called out to me that I had to do this card. The butterfly with the Champagne behind it and then the embossing was perfect for the front of this card

It is so easy to assemble and just screams elegance

Card #5

Card #5 is simple. I figured by the time everyone got to this one they needed something simple. This is once again using the Basic Beige however, this time I have used Basic Gray to coordinate with it. Just a few strips of Champagne Foil to bring out the butterflies in the Basic Gray card front. Greeting stamped with Basic Gray keeps it simple.

Summer Splash Meets Trusty Tools

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 20:11:00 GMT

For this one I used Summer Splash the last of the five colors in the 2024-26 In Color Collection. I used Trusty Tools Bundle and Happy Little Things to bring this color to life. This coordinates well with Pool Party, as suggested by the name, and Pretty Peacock.

Petunia Pop Partial Die Cutting

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 18:20:17 GMT

This is the fourth of the five new 2024-26 In Colors Petunia Pop. I love this color and it fits in well with our color families. Here I have added Highland Heather and Fresh Freesia to the card as accents. I did partial die cutting using the Simply Zinnia Bundle and the Stampin' Cut Machine.

Peach Pie Meets Sending Smiles

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 19:46:42 GMT

Introducing the New Peach Pie, a 2024-26 In Color. I am amazed at how all the In Colors coordinate each year when they are introduced. Peach Pie is a wonderful addition to our color line.

The Stamp set I chose to work with is Sending Smiles #158701 & Sending Dies #159271 both will be retiring on May 1. So if you love it be sure to order it before it is gone!

Here is another sample using the New Peach Pie In Color:

This one is also using the retiring Petal Park Stamp Set #160571. The Petal Park Builder Punch, that coordinates with this will be staying. #160576. This card is made using the Scalloped Rectangle Dies and is a Z fold as shown in last weeks video. I used Granny Apple Green to coordinate with the Peach Pie.

My final card is Peach Pie is created with Spotlight on Nature from the new 2024-25 Annual Catalog which releases on May 1, 2024. If you don't have a demonstrator please let me know and I will gladly send you the new catalog.

This was created by die cutting a 5 x 3 3/4 Basic White and cutting a circle using the Deckle Circle Dies, I placed it over a piece of 5 x 3 3/4 piece of Basic White and colored the center area using a Blending Brush with the Peach Pie Stampin' Pad, Stamped the image, added the greeting and layered with Peach Pie & Basic Black

March 2024 Paper Pumpkin Alternates

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sat, 30 Mar 2024 02:23:31 GMT

This is one of the cards I created with the March 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit. The kit reminded me a lot of several of the Designer Series Papers we have had recently. I have worked with those papers but I am not really excited about them. It is just a different style card for me. I love layers so using the Patterned Dies and a few layers helped me feel like I would do these again.

This one uses the beautiful Pretty Peacock, one of my favorite colors. By just cutting the card into 1 x 4 1/4 inch strips you could make 3 of these with each card.

This one used the arch from Garden Meadow and the Gorgeous Grape to accent the beautiful image. You could stamp any greeting. This would make a great sympathy card.

After 6 strips for the Pretty Peacock card above, I had enough left to create this simple card. Just bordering the image with Basic Black made it stand out.

This one is a simple Z fold card but I love the way it comes together in the middle but still looks like one scene.

This was my final one. I used the new 2024-26 In Colors Petunia Pop & Shy Shamrock. I think these are going to be fun colors to use. This is using the stamp set that was included in March 2024 Paper Pumpkin.

Pretty In Pink meets Two-Tone Flora

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 19:17:04 GMT

Two-Tone Flora is one of my favorite stamp sets. I love the way I can create beautiful flowers that look so real you could reach out and touch them. This is two step stamp set, one stamp creates the outline and the other fills in the image. For the flowers, I stamped the outline stamp in full strength on the Basic White cardstock using Pretty In Pink, a color that is returning as one of the 2024-26 In Colors. Then I stamped off when using the stamp to fill the image.

This is the first of a series of cards that I will be doing over the next 5 weeks to introduce the 5 new In Colors and one of my favorite retiring stamp sets. Each week I will use a different stamp set, color and fun fold. Be sure to check out all of the following posts here or the videos on YouTube.

If you are interested in purchasing the Stamps & Dies you will find them listed below. Just click on the image and you will be taken to my Stampin' Up! store where you can make your purchase. I appreciate your support.

The fun fold this week is a simple Z card with a front panel added. You will find measurements below in the Free Tutorial

FEBRUARY 2024 PAPER PUMPKIN ALTERNATIVES

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 23:20:07 GMT

Check out the stunning alternates you can create with the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit from Stampin' Up Demonstrator, Debbie Chronister! By adding a few extra supplies, you can easily transform the kit contents into gorgeous greeting cards, home decor pieces, scrapbook layouts, and 3D projects. Let your creativity run wild and explore the endless possibilities of paper crafting with Stampin' Up products.

This fun little Z Fold card is quick and easy using the wreath and cute little animals from the Paper Pumpkin Kit. I just cut a Basic White card base and accented it with Fresh Freesia.

On this one I used the Glorious Gingham on the left of the card, with a Iridescent bow. Using the frame from the Paper Pumpkin kit, cut it down to 4 x 4 as well as the cute image of the bunnies. Finishing off with some daffodils colored with Wink of Stella

This one is a simple easel fold with the addition of the Stylish Shapes Dies I was able to create a unique accent to this card. Just be sure you only glue the wreath to the bottom section! I used the coordinating dies to die cut the flowers and added them to the inside to create a support for the card when it is opened.

For my grand finale I created a box card. If you are one of those people who don't really have a need for those cute little boxes in the kit, this is a great way to use them and make it really stand out a special. Be sure to watch the video on this one to assemble your card. It lays flat to mail however, it does not fit in our standard envelope.

Lovely Lavender Alternate #10

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Mon, 05 Feb 2024 15:00:08 GMT

So this card came about in an odd way. I was done cutting for Spice Up Paper Pumpkin and repacking the kits. When I picked this scrap up off the counter I was sure it should be a card. I had just the right scraps left to do this fun project. This is a gift card holder inside by using another scrap that matched to create the pocket and insert one of our Gift Card Envelopes.

Lovely Lavender Alternate #9

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sun, 04 Feb 2024 15:00:01 GMT

I will show you how I created this Faux Step Card. Rather than doing all the tricky cutting you just add an additional panel. I used the tag from Paper Pumpkin Lovely Lavender and added it to a piece of 5 1/2 x 2 1/8. Be sure to check out how I did this fun card! Careful there is a trick!

Lovely Lavender Alternate #8

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sat, 03 Feb 2024 15:00:00 GMT

This is a fun card! It looks kind of like an envelope but it is a card that opens under the flap. I wouldn't recommend mailing it without an envelope it would look awful by the time it arrived. It is easy and unique.

Here I focused on the Berry Burst in the card bases you can see some of it in the lavender and in the flowered panels. I used the new Thoughtful Expressions Dies for the tags behind the "Love" greeting

Lovely Lavender Alternate #7

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Fri, 02 Feb 2024 15:00:02 GMT

This little beauty is what caused card #10 to come about. I used the Everyday Details Dies to cut out the circle from a piece of the card base of Paper Pumpkin and I had some left over. I cut out the circle with the little dots from the Paper Pumpkin kit. This kit uses another scrap, the 1 x 4 1/2 piece on the left was a little piece left after cutting for another card. The tag on the right of it was a greeting tag in the Paper Pumpkin kit. I used the Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder which is a FREE item with $100 purchase during Sale-A-Bration which ends February 29, 2024

Be sure to click on the Free Project Sheet for measurements and instructions.

Lovely Lavender Alternate #6

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 15:00:03 GMT

To create this beautiful card that says I Love You, you will want to purchase the Everyday Details Dies. They are amazing and so useful in card making or even scrapbooking. The white in the center is actually the back of the Dotted Crumb Cake card that comes in the Paper Pumpkin Kit. When you cut the circle out you will want to cut it with the white side facing you and the dies on top. As you can see mine was cut backwards and the holes are not going downward which if you are a crafter you will notice right away. So be sure to cut yours correctly. In the viedo I will give you a tip to help with the edges on the Dotted Crumb Cake.

Everyday Details

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 20:15:42 GMT

Get ready to elevate your paper crafting with the Everyday Details Bundle from Stampin' Up! Create beautiful cards with ease using the Boho Blue and Lemon Lolly color palette. Whether you're a seasoned crafter or just starting out, this bundle is perfect for creating stunning greeting cards, home decor, scrapbooking, and 3D projects.

Lovely Lavender Alternate #5

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 31 Jan 2024 15:00:01 GMT

In the Paper Pumpkin kit there is typically at least 2 different card bases. The second one in this month's kit was the Dotted Crumb Cake. Which had a pretty subtle look so I added the beautiful lavender flowers with the Garden Green leaves behind. The leaves were cut from one of the larger clusters of leaves. I cut them in half and used one on this card and another portion on another card. It helps to spread them around and helps to create more cards. All total I got 20 cards from this kit and I still had 2 of these card bases left over so I could have created 4 more cards by adding another flower or using the Painted Lavender Bundle.

Lovely Lavender Alternate #4

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 15:00:06 GMT

This beautiful card is done with mostly products from the Paper Pumpkin kit. All I did was add a couple layers of cardstock and some Dimensionals. It is easy and says you are special to the recipient. Check out the FREE Project Sheet below for measurements and products used.

Lovely Lavender Alternate #2

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 15:00:02 GMT

This card uses the January 2024 Paper Pumpkin kit as a foundation. I have added additional Stampin' Up! products to the kit to create 10 different alternate cards. Each month I take the Paper Pumpkin and work with half of what is in the kit and create alternates. Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription that is delivered to you. It is for those who don't want to spend a lot or have a lot of time but enjoy making cards for friends and family. Every 3 months Stampin' Up! puts out a set of dies that coordinate with the next three months of Paper Pumpkin kits. For this card the daffodil was cut from one of those dies.

Lovely Lavender Alternate #3

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Mon, 29 Jan 2024 00:04:41 GMT

This beautiful card doesn't have to be for Valentine's Day you could just send it to someone who is having a difficult time to let them know that you love them and care about them. I think it could be used for an array of occasions. This one has a different story for me. When I was packing the Spice Up Paper Pumpkin kits I accidentally packed two of this card in one of the kits and then sent it off to another city. So when it came time to do the video, I had used up all of my Paper Pumpkin and was missing my kit for this card. Therefore, there is no video. I do have written instructions which you can download below but it is really easy. The inside has a 5 1/4 x 4 Highland Heather with a 5 x 3 3/4 Basic White attached to that. The rest of it you can see on the front.

Lovely Lavender Alternate #1

Enduring Beauty

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sat, 20 Jan 2024 22:09:59 GMT

This card uses the Enduring Beauty Bundle with the coordinating masks. I love the way it comes out. I used Bubble Bath for the original image and to color the flowers and Soft Seafoam for the leaves. The background is embossed with the Thatched folder from the Basics one of the Online Exclusives. In the video below I will show you how I created this beautiful card.

Watercolor World Background

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 11 Oct 2023 20:13:44 GMT

This is a quick and easy card to create and uses Watercolor World from Stampin' Up! in a different way. I stamped the image straight on in Boho Blue to begin with then I inked the stamp edges and only stamped part of it on the Basic White cardstock to fill the area. Overlapping the image gives depth so don't worry about it overlapping. Using a Blending Brush and Boho Blue Stampin' Pad, I blended the images together. The Noel is cut from our beautiful Holographic Foil and adhered with Dimensionals. To finish off I added Iridescent Rhinestones.

Supplies:

Boho Blue 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Night of Navy - 5 1/8 x 3 7/8, 5 1/4 x 4 (inside)

Back with a fun fold card using an Online Exclusive

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sun, 01 Oct 2023 00:04:04 GMT

When I looked at the date that I last posted I was so surprised. I haven't posted here in over two months. If you have been following me you know that my daughter was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and she has been undergoing surgery then chemo. She is done and shows no evidence of disease!! During this time I have flown between Sacramento, California and Denver, Colorado every two weeks. I would fly out when she had chemo, stay with her a week then come home for 2 weeks and hop a flight again. I am so comfortable with flying. I just snuggle into a window seat and turn on my tablet and headphones and watch a movie. The flight is just long enough for me to watch a whole movie before we land. The only problem is that I ran out of movies that I wanted to watch so it was time for me to stay home. I have never watched so many movies as I have this summer. Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. She is doing great!!!

Now on for this fun card. The Designer Series Paper is Delightful Floral 12 x 12 (#162356) which is one of the Online Exclusives. These are products that you can only see online. They are not included in a catalog. You can purchase them by clicking the link below.

CARD IN A CARD CHEERFUL DAISIES

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sat, 01 Jul 2023 19:51:16 GMT

INCENTIVE TRIP SWAP CARD

This is the swap card I created for the 2023 Norway Incentive Trip with Stampin' Up! It is also part of the FREE Cheerful Daisies class that I offered in May with a $50 order.

It is just a fun card to create and I would call it a card in a card.

MOTHER'S DAY CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 10 May 2023 18:56:07 GMT

I wanted to show a card that could be beautiful and yet not take a lot of products to create. The flowers on the front come the Dainty Delight Dies, but you could use any flowers you have. This was made with my granddaughter in mind who is a wonderful mother. She has 2 children, 2 & 4 and she has her hands full. I remember those days, they were fun and difficult at the same time. I had the opportunity to spend about 10 days with her and I saw a woman who is totally committed to raising responsible, loving children who love the Lord.

The inks used were Smoky Slate, Bubble Bath (one of our new colors) and Lost Lagoon (one of our returning colors) and Tuxedo Black Momento for the greeting

The finished card is 5 x 5

Measurements:

10 x 5 Thick Basic White, scored at 5"

4 5/8 x 4 5/8 Lost Lagoon (cut 2) one for the front one for inside
4 1/2 x 4 1/2 (3) one for the die cut circle used to create the image, one for inside, the last one to create the image on

I'M HOME FOR A SHORT TIME

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 02 May 2023 17:14:31 GMT

I arrived home on Saturday evening from 2 weeks in Colorado with my daughter. She had surgery to remove a tumor the size of a large grapefruit and a complete hysterectomy. They found cancer in the tumor and ovaries so she will probably under go Chemo. We are waiting to hear from the doctors as to the final suggestion. She is doing amazingly well! By the fifth day after her surgery, you would never have known she had surgery. She was home from the hospital 45 hours after she came out of a five hour surgery because she was doing so well. The doctor had told us 3 - 5 days in the hospital. She has continued to improve each day. When I left on Saturday, she was doing very well. Yesterday, she went for a good walk and to work for an hour. Please keep her in your prayers as we go through this journey. I will keep you updated.

We are working on some landscaping on our home. This is a photo I took before I left. It looks different now. When we get it finished I will post the finished picture on here. That window is where my Studio is. I love the steps verses trying to walk up the driveway!

I wanted to use the new Online Exclusives for this Facebook Live but they hadn't arrived you. They arrived just after I finished the Live, or course.

IRRESISTIBLE BLOOMS LATTICE CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 01 Mar 2023 22:26:03 GMT

I just love the layout of this card! It is fun and easy to create and so beautiful for spring!

I think we might have to create one using the Marigolds for our Mother's Day cards. I am not a lover of Marigolds, as far as I see it they are planted not for their beauty, but for their purpose. They keep the tomato worms away from the tomato plants and that is a good thing. To me they are an uptight flower. Boy, that is a word from the past! My husband loves the beautiful little flowers so I usually concede to planting a few among the tomato plants every year.

This was done with the new Irresistible Blooms Bundle #161150 which is available beginning today!

This card is fun and easy to create. Be sure to watch the video below for instructions

Measurements:
4 1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White, score at 5 1/2 and cut off 3 1/4, cut 3 1/4 x 4 1/4 into (5) 1/2" strips, cut the remaining strip in half
4 1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White, score at 5 1/2 (this one is added to the inside)
Cut (4) flower images from the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper using the dies in the bundle
Cut (4) leaf images from the Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper
3 x 4 1/4 Hellos Irresistible Blooms Designer Series Paper

SENTIMENTAL PARK BUNDLE

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 15 Feb 2023 22:06:14 GMT

This card is super cute and super easy to create using the Sentimental Park Bundle #160567 from the 2023 January - April Mini Catalog. I love the Designer Series Paper that coordinates with it. I have created a whole card class using this Bundle. So watch for the registration for this class.

SHARE A MILKSHAKE GATE FOLD CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 08 Feb 2023 20:12:39 GMT

I could make a dozen of these cute cards in no time at all. This is one of the new stamp bundles in the January - April 2023 Mini Catalog called Share A Milkshake. You can do a Sundae, Milkshake or Ice Cream Cone. It is really fun to use. Who doesn't love ice cream? On the first one I used the Country Gingham Designer Series paper and the ice cream is Petal Pink, Sahara Sand & Blushing Bride.

This is the Gate Fold card where it comes together in the middle. In the video below I will show you how to do this and make it stay closed without a belly band or ribbon.

Measurements:

5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Basic White, score at 2 1/8 on each end. Do not measure it out and score. Stampin' Up! paper is just a hair larger and you want that hair in the middle where the two panels come together. If you sore and don't have any space I recommend you trim off 1/32 of an inch on each edge. Which means you need a really sharp pair of scissors or a good sharp cutting blade. Or when you fold it fold so that your fold is in the grove differently and use a bone folder to crease it well. In the video I will explain more of this.

5 1/4 X 4 Basic White adhere to inside of card, center panel
(2) 5 1/4 x 1 7/8 Basic White (above I used Petal Pink), attach to front panels
(2) 5 1/8 x 1 3/4 Designer Series Paper

3" circle cut with Stylish Shapes Dies, largest circle

3 x 4 Crumb Cake, die cut cone
2 1/2 x 5 1/2 Basic White scrap for ice cream
1/2 x 3 Basic White, stamp greeting in Sahara Sand, flag ends
(3) 1 1/2 x 2 THICK Basic White, on 2 of them score at 1" with the 2" side at the top

CUP OF TEA CALENDAR STAND

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 22:03:42 GMT

I did this fun little project for my Facebook live today. Considering all the problems I had today with the project not coming together easily, I think the project came out really cute and I am happy with it.

This is a fun and easy little project. You can get two stands out of a 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock. Just be careful what you decide to put next to the calendar. You don't have a lot of room!

Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Pool Party, score with the 8 1/2" side at the top at 1/2, 3 1/2, 4 1/2, 5 1/2, fold the center score lines Mountain, valley to form the stand portion
I chose to decorate the front before putting the stand together
Cut 5 1/2 x 1 1/2 Basic Black, adhere along the bottom section of the front panel, the front panel is the one with the 1/2 score line,

Cut 5 1/2 x 1 1/4 DSP, adhere to black panel

Attach the tea cut to the front of the stand using Dimensionals

Put Tear N Tape on the 1/2 strip, attach to the back by laying it down folding the bottom in. They should meet up perfectly

ADORABLE OWL ACCORDIAN FOLD CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 22:01:42 GMT

This is a fun little card that we created many years ago using different products. One of my team members came to me with a card that I had done in a class years ago and wanted to know how it was made. So I thought what better way to show her how than making a cute card with one of the current stamp sets. The owl presented some challenges because of the size of one was much larger than the others but it was easy to make it work. You must keep in mind that your inside is only so big!

This is what we used to call an accordion card. Now there are many ways to do an accordion card, this is what she wanted to know.

Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Thick Basic White, score at 4 1/4
Cut 5 1/4 x 4 Sweet Sorbet for front

Cut (4) 1 3/4 x 2 1/2 Basic White (when planning this out keep in mind that 1 3/4 is a good with for these panels because you only have 2 1/8 for each panel to adhere to) stamp image in Tuxedo Black, color with Crumb Cake, Sweet Sorbet, Pumpkin Pie & Tahitian Tide Stampin' Blends
Cut (4) 1 7/8 x 2 5/8 Sweet Sorbet, adhere these to the back of the panels with the image

This was the first one I made with this layout and I still love this one the most. I used the FREE with a $50 purchase, Favored Flowers. On this one I used Evening Evergreen for the card base and Very Vanilla for the background. I stamped the greeting in Evening Evergreen.

This is similar to the one I am doing in the video. I will start out showing you how I created the card and then how to take the simple, but beautiful card and step it up. On this one I used Soft Succulent as the card base, Basic White for the background. Add some bling and a ribbon with a die cut branch and it is stepped up.

BEAUTIFULLY HAPPY

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 28 Dec 2022 02:31:05 GMT

I love the way this card looks and it is so easy to create. I used the Beautifully Happy stamp set (#160804) which it a FREE with a $100 purchase from the new 2023 Sale-A-Bration catalog. This is a two step stamp set and Stampin' Up!

did an amazing job when creating it. You stamp the leaves together, the flowers together and the top blossoms come as one stamp. It lines up perfectly.

I used the beautiful Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper with it. I don't have the stamp set but it has wonderful background papers

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Petal Pink, score at 5 1/2
Cut 2 x 5 1/2 Petal Pink from Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper, adhere to the front of the card on the left

Stamp the flower in Petal Pink or Calypso Coral
Stamp the leaves in Mossy Meadow using the stamp off technique
Stamp the greeting, there are many great ones in this set, in Mossy Meadow
Attach Scallop Square to the front of the card using Dimensionals

Finish off with Iridescent Pearl in the center

Here is the one I did in the video using Petal Pink on the flowers:

For the inside of the card

Cut 5 1/4 x 4 Calypso Coral
Cut 5 x 3 3/4 Basic White, stamp the small flower in the bottom right corner in Tuxedo Black Momento, stamp the flower in Petal Pink or Calypso Coral, the leave in Mossy Meadow, adhere to Calypso Coral then inside of card

HOW I USE UP MY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER!

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 19:26:24 GMT

Do you have a tendency to hoard your those beautiful Designer Series Papers until you have such a huge stash that you are asking yourself, "What am I going to do with all this paper?" or you won't buy new ones because you have so much already? Well today I am going to show you a card that uses a half sheet of Designer Series Paper and just by adding a few elements to it you have a quick, beautiful card to send to someone.

Product:
5 1/2 x 4 1/4 Rich Razzelberry (or any color that coordinates with your DSP)

5 1/4 x 12 Designer Series Paper (of your choice)
For mine I used:

Basic Border Dies to cut the Rich Razzelberry on the left panel
Dainty Delight Dies
Deckle Rectangle Dies

Scraps of Rich Razzelberry, DSP, Basic White

On the next sample I used Night of Navy with Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper.

Use the Stylish Shapes Dies for the circle on the front, Scalloped Contour Dies for the panel on the left

On the inside I used the Deckle Rectangle Dies

CANDLE/CANDY POCKET CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 15:48:27 GMT

Video in progress

This is a candle holder or candy holder Pocket Card. It could really be used for a lot of things. I saw it online and thought I would give it a try using some of our papers. I am sorry to say I don't know who created the one I saw but she would not give out the pattern, so I went to work and created what I considered a relatively easy pattern. If you are comfortable with boxes you won't have any problems. Her box was 1-1/2 x 1-1/2, mine is 1-1/2 x 3/4. I have created 2 patterns to help you. One has measurements the other shows the areas that are cut out.

I started with a 7 1/2 x 11" Real Red, with 7 1/2" side at top score at 1/2, 1-1/4 & 6 3/4
Turn the cardstock over, with the 11" side is at top, and 6 3/4" score line along the top score at 3", 7 1/2, 8 1/4, 9 3/4 & 10 1/2, on the 6" line score down to the 2nd intersecting score line, flip over and score down to intersecting score line

Cut according to the photo shown below

Let's do one more cut for the panel on the far right. . .
Cut 2 7/8 x 5 3/8 Basic White
Cut 2 3/4 x 5 1/4 Designer Series Paper, place a pencil mark at 3" on the DSP, line up the Basic White & DSP on the front panel of card base centering them from side to side, bring them all the way to the top of the card panel and cut all three at once from the top of the fold to the 3" mark. You will need a heavy duty cutter. Or you can cut 2 and line up the 3rd and give it a shot. I found that I did better if I did all three at once. Then if the line wasn't straight at least it was that way on all of them and they matched! Watch the video to see what I am talking about.

Let's go on. . .

Cut 1 3/8 x 5 3/8 Basic White
Cut 1-1/4 x 5 1/4 Designer Series Paper, adhere to Basic White, using the Stitched Rectangle Dies cut an opening in these two, place over the 3rd panel from the left and trace the opening, cut with paper trimmer
Cut 1-1/4 x 4 Window Sheet, adhere to panel on Box over the opening, adhere the DSP & Basic White panel over top to hide the Window Sheet edges

Burnish the score lines with a Bone Folder, put adhesive on the 1/2" section and adhere, in the video I show you an easy way to do it and be sure it is in the right place

Cut 2 7/8 x 5 Basic White, adhere to second panel, be sure you have already closed the box on the left

Close the right panel over onto the next panel to form a pocket, put Tear N Tape on the bottom and left edge. Do not tape the cut angle!
Attach the Basic White and DSP that you cut earlier for the third panel on the front
Die cut the Candy Canes from the DSP, attach to the front
Feed the Flat Jingle Bell Trinkets to Gold Cord, attach to the ribbon
Tie a bow and attach to the Candy Canes with a Mini Glue dot.

Fill the box with candy bars, Tea Light Candles, Hershey Nuggets, I am sure you can find many things to fill the box. Since you closed it in you could put small candies in and not worry about them falling out the opening, tie the Garden Green Ribbon around and tie a knot

This will not go into an envelope! You could put a gift card in the pocket

BIRTHDAY ORGANIZER KIT

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 12 Oct 2022 02:07:53 GMT

I made the cards that are in the kit according to instructions in the kit. I followed the instructions exactly. Then for those who know me I had to create something straying from the directions so I created a box out of one of the envelopes. the item number for the Birthday Card Organizer Kit is #161056.

Instructions:

Using one of the 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 cards, put the long edge at the top of the paper trimmer and score a 3 3/4 & 4 3/4.

Score at 1" on each of the four sides. Trim the flaps to create a box. You could do this with any card and create a fun and creative box. It's a great gift to do with an invitation to an event, birthday, wedding. Then give the the recipient a gift card in the cute box you created from their invitation. It's a fund idea!!

ANGLED GATEFOLD CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 14 Sep 2022 00:07:11 GMT

This card layout is all over the internet right now so I thought I would try my hand at it today. It is called an Angled Gatefold Card. Normally a gatefold card comes together in the middle and is held closed by the belly band. This one overlaps like a double breasted jacket and is held closed by the belly band. For this card I used the Bewitching Bundle

Measurements:
Cut 12 x 5 1/2 Basic Black, score at 4 & 8, trim off 1/8" from the panel on the left. This will make it easier to fold flat

Cut according to the pattern below: mark right & left panel at 1 1/2 from the top, cut from the score line to the 1 1/2" mark, mark the bottom panel at 1" from the outside edge, along the bottom edge, cut from that mark to the top angled cut

Cut 2 pieces of 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 Perfectly Penned Designer Series Paper. Place them good sides together, mark them at 1 1/2" from the top, and 1" at the bottom from the left.

Cut the moon in Mango Melody using the largest circle from Stylish Shapes Dies, sponge the edges with Pumpkin Pie using a Sponge Dauber, stamp the spider in Tuxedo Black Momento
Stamp the witch hat and feet on Basic White with Tuxedo Black Momento, color with Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate light & Dark & Basic Black Stampin' Blends, fussy cut the feet, punch the hat using the coordinating punch

Cut 9 1/4 x 1 Basic Black, belly band, wrap around the card gently creasing so it is not too tight, adhere in the front, attach the moon to cover the seam.

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sat, 10 Sep 2022 22:12:09 GMT

I did a video on this last week on my Facebook live but the sound on the video was so bad that I could not use it. So this card does not have a video to see how I put it together but is was such a fun and easy card that I thought I would go ahead and post it anyway.

Cut 5 x 2 Splendid Day Designer Series Paper, adhere to the right side of the Soft Succulent layer

Cut 3 1/4 x 5 Basic White, stamp the flower image in Tuxedo Black Momento, color leaves with Soft Succulent. To color the flowers I used a Mint Macaron light Stampin' Blend, scribbled on a clear block, spritzed it with Rubbing Alcohol, blended it and picked it up the color with Wink of Stella. I did the same technique with the Crumb Cake for the bottom leaves

Wrap Sahara Sand Baker's Twine around the stem and adhere on the back. Tie a bow and attach with a glue dot, attach the whole image to the card front using Dimensionals

Die cut the branch in Sahara Sand, tuck behind the flower image

MISTLETOE MAGIC CONCEPT ARTIST CHALLENGE

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 02 Aug 2022 23:50:07 GMT

As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator we receive an email each week with information that we need to know. This week there was a fun challenge.

These are Creative Challenges. For August t he Concept Art team provided a sketch layout for inspiration. One of our concept artists then put her own spin on the original sketch and changed it from portrait to landscape.

PERFECT POMEGRANATE

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 26 Jul 2022 22:59:48 GMT

When I saw this stamp set I thought, why in the world would I want to make a card with pomegranates on it? I mean I like to eat them but who would I send a card with pomegranates on it and what is that saying? So I passed it over and thought that is one I don't want. However, this set is FREE with a $300 order during July & August Sale-a-bration.

I placed an order for over $300 and guess what came in my order! Perfect Pomegranate. So I decided I would start playing with it and now I am in love with it. Has that ever happened to you?

DIAMOND POINT CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 02:33:38 GMT

This card is quite a show stopper when displayed and that is what is is created for. Earlier this year I did the Pointed card during a Facebook live. Well those portions that I cut off, have now been used to make the card stand on it's own.

I used the Design A Dream Host Reward Designer Series Paper for this one and the Beautiful Cottage Rose Stamp Set. I just don't seem to be able to get away from that set. I just love it. I am sure it will even show up as a Christmas Card soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH CANDY CANES DIES

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 29 Jun 2022 20:29:51 GMT

So sorry that I didn't get this posted yesterday. After my video I needed some me time, so I went swimming. It was a beautiful hot day to hop in the pool and just enjoy the cool water, so that is what I did. So today I am trying to catch up on all the things I promised.

This card started out to be something different. I knew that I wanted to use the Candy Cane Dies in a different way. I like the way they create a background. We have so many great dies this year that can be used in a background. I didn't want to do Christmas yet. There are so many great stamp sets in our Annual Catalog that was just released a couple of months ago that I feel like I haven't finished playing with yet.

For this one I used the Candy Cane Dies that will be released July 1 in the new July - December Mini Catalog. Then I used the Happy Birthday greeting from Cottage Rose, which I just love! The flowers came from the new Wonderful World Bundle (Stamp set & Designer Series Paper), I fussy cut around the flower in the paper. I also used the 2022-23 In Color Glimmer Paper. I just love the products and how they came together.

NOURISH & FLOURISH KIT

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 03:10:40 GMT

Food scarcity is an issue facing communities across the globe. Each year, Stampin’ Up! supports a designated cause through special limited-edition products or promotions. This Year we have chosen to support organizations that are working to end food insecurity by releasing a special Nourish and Flourish Kit (item 160230).

I purchased this cute little kit and today I am going to show you the cards I made according to the instructions and the cards I made as alternates. I added a few pieces of cardstock to the supplies in the kit and off I went creating.

SPLENDID THOUGHTS!

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 02 Jun 2022 05:34:34 GMT

SPLENDID THOUGHTS! That seems like the perfect title for this blog post. I have struggled with my video editor for probably a month now. I have had trouble with the sound. First the ends of my words were cut off, lately there is sound and then none for 10 seconds or so and then sound again. It is really hard to watch an instruction video with the sound going out. You may get one measurement but not the other. I have tried several different things, but none of them were working right or they would work on one video and not the next.

I think I have finally found a video editor that will work. We will see. The one I used was easy once I figured out how to get started.

So today I have the instructions for the beautiful card that I made on Stampin' Tell Tuesday using the Splendid Thoughts Bundle. This stamp bundle has not been released yet to the general public. One of the benefits of being a demonstrator is that we are able to purchase products at a discount before they are released or attend special events. This set was released early for an Online Demonstrator Only event coming up in June.

I decided to play with it a little before hand and this is what I created.

Measurements:

Cut Basic White 11 x 4 1/4, score at 5 1/2
Cut (2) 5 x 3 3/4 Crumb Cake, one for the inside one for the front

Cut (2) 4 3/4 x 3 1/2 Basic White, one for the inside, the other you will cut the largest circle using the Stylish Styles, stamp greeting in Crumb Cake, adhere to the Crumb Cake, do not put adhesive near the bottom of the circle
Cut open image die with Vellum using dies in bundle, adhere to the crumb cake overlapping the Basic White at the top
Stamp two images in Tuxedo Black Momento, color with Crumb Cake and Soft Succulent light & dark, die cut using the dies in the bundle, tuck into the circle and adhere the Soft Succulent leaves to the Crumb Cake, use Dimensionals on the Crumb Cake image

Finish off with some of the beautiful Iridescent Pearls

BUILDING BLOCK CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sun, 29 May 2022 17:27:38 GMT

I love the Cottage Rose stamp set that Stampin' Up! introduced in the new 2022-23 Annual Catalog!! It is my favorite set for this year, at least for now! Today I created this fun Building Block card. I have done these in the past by cutting the cardstock to create the blocks in the center. In some ways it seems easier but I thought this would be a good way to do it. I thought it would be easier, but that was not necessarily true. If you watch my video you will see the problem I ran into.

Cut 10 1/2 x 5 1/2 Petal Pink, score at 3 1/2 & 7

COTTAGE ROSE

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 19 May 2022 16:20:34 GMT

I am so sorry I have not been posting my projects lately. Imovie which I use for editing did an update and now the sound is messed up on my videos. Last night I learned that if I run them through a movie editor, it will correct the problem, but it has taken me weeks to get an answer from Apple as to what was going on. So here is the first one that has been converted by a movie editor. I hope it works well!

Now for the project! I cased the catalog for this card. The card I cased was on page 57 of the new 2022-23 Annual Catalog. I did not look up the instructions to see what the had done. I just looked at the card, thought it was beautiful and made my own version of it.

HOW TO CUT FOR ONE CARD AND CREATE FOUR!

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 06 Apr 2022 05:50:27 GMT

Today for my Facebook Live I decided to use the Slim Card Dies from Stampin' Up! I have had them for several months but this was the first time I really got around to playing with them. This set of dies will help you make four, yes I said four cards from basically one cut. In order to create the first card, I had to cut 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of each of the four colors, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate, Blushing Bride and Basic White. When I was done putting together the puzzle in the back ground I had a ton of the pieces left. One of the great things about these dies is that a lot of them fit into several of the spaces on the card. By the time I had used up all of the cut out pieces I had created FOUR cards. For each 3 1/2 x 8 1/2 piece of cardstock which I cut I had a piece left that was larger than 7 x 8 1/2 so I trimmed it down to that size and scored on the 7" side a 3 1/2.

Measurements

Cut 7 x 8 1/2, score at 3 1/2 on the 7" side (one of each color)

Use the remaining 4 inches to cut out the die (one of each color)
Cut 1 of each color of the 2nd largest scallop rectangle using Stitched So Sweetly Dies
Cut 1 of each color of the 3rd largest scallop rectangle using Stitched So Sweetly Dies

On the next part I didn't do a very good job of switching things around. I wanted to cut one of each color to stamp on but lost my way. I stamped the greetings in Basic Gray and used greetings from Expressions of Friendship (a host set from January - June 2022 Mini Catalog) and from Flowers of Friendship

Inside
I cut a piece to match the frame on the front of the card 3 1/4 x 8 1/4
Cut 3 x 8 Basic White, adhere to the coordinating color and attach to the inside of the card

Have fun! This die will not be coming through to the new catalog next month, so if you love it now is the time to purchase it!! Click on the link below and it will take you to my Stampin' Up! store where you can purchase this die and many other retiring products.

MISTY MOONLIGHT IS GOING AWAY

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 29 Mar 2022 21:52:14 GMT

Today I am doing a blog post without a video. That is really unusual for me but I have laryngitis, so I have almost no voice! I didn't want to miss my Facebook live so I found a work around. If you came from my Facebook post for today you understand what I am saying. I can still create even when I am sick.

As of May 2, Misty Moonlight which is one of our 2020-22 In Colors will be going away. So today I wanted to use it in a simple card. I did use a retired paper, Simply Marbelous from 2022 Sale-A-Bration but you could use the Waves of the Ocean 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper and it would be just as beautiful.

Measurements & Instructions
Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White, score at 5 1/2
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Misty Moonlight, adhere to the front of the card
Cut 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White, using the Beautiful Shapes Dies, cut with the largest Hexagon in the center with a flat edge parallel to the bottom, stamp greeting from Happy & Heartfelt in Misty Moonlight
Using a scrap cut the flower from the Honeybee Blooms Dies, glue through the opening to the back of the Basic White
Cut 3 x 3 Window Sheet, adhere to back of Basic White
Cut 3 x 3 Simply Marbelous Designer Series Paper or Waves of the Ocean, adhere to the back of the Window Sheet with your favorite side showing through the opening, adhere this sheet to the Misty Moonlight on the front of the card

Using the Misty Moonlight from the Cotton Ribbon Combo Pack, tie a little bow and adhere with a glue dot

There you have a simple yet elegant card to say thank you

RUTH'S BOO BOO!

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 08 Mar 2022 01:14:18 GMT

So the story behind this card is that I was at one of my classes and my dear friend, neighbor and customer Ruth was working on her double Z fold card. I had given them some instruction and told them to call me over when they were ready to put the card together. I was busy and she when ahead and put it together the way she thought it went. She created a new card!!! I love it!

I love when my customers make a so called "Mistake" and they are so creative on their own! Her card inspired me to create it for my Stampin' Tell Tuesday, Facebook live group. So today I created two of the cards. You will find all the measurements on my previous Waves of the Ocean Double Z Fold card post

I posted the video below to help you see what the difference was between last week's card and this weeks.

Have fun!

TULIP DOUBLE SIDE STEP POP UP CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 09 Feb 2022 00:27:24 GMT

That is the longest name for a card I think I have ever seen! This fun card is really easy to make and has a real WOW factor. The only thing I noticed after I made it was that it is a little sensitive when it comes to standing up. Just spread the back two panels apart and it stands real nicely. The finished card is 5 x 7 so you will have to make an envelope to go with it.

Measurements:

Back Layer:

Cut 5 x 10 15/16 Basic White, score at 7, 8, 9 & 10, trim off 1/16" in the last section
Cut 4 7/8 x 5 7/8 Pumpkin Pie

Front Layer:
Cut 3 x 7 15/16 Basic White, score at 4, 5, 6, & &, trim off 1/16" on the last section
Cut 2 7/8 x 3 7/8 Pumpkin Pie
Die cut Basic White using Scallop Contour Dies, stamp greeting in Evening Evergreen

To create the Tulips I started with Crushed Curry cardstock and used a blending brush and Pumpkin Pie ink pad. This gave my tulips a little shaded colors. The leaves are cut in Evening Evergreen

Side binding:
Cut 7/8 x 4 7/8 Pumpkin Pie
Cut 3/4 x 4 3/4 Designer Series Paper, adhere to end

Cut 7/8 x 2 7/8 Pumpkin Pie
Cut 3/4 x 2 3/4 Designer Series Paper

Just changing the coordinating products to the Sweet Conversations Bundle creates a sweet Valentine's Day Card

Here is the view from the top

Here I used the new All Together 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper to create a more masculine look. I used the bear from Count on me. When my husband saw this he said he looks like the Charmin Bear. Way too much tv for him!

In the video below I created the card using the Daffodil Sale-A-Bration Designer Series Paper.

Below is a list of the supplies I used for the first project. Just click on any of the products and it will take you to my Stampin' Up! store where you can order these and other products

FLOWERING RAINBOOTS TWIST & POP CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 02 Feb 2022 23:00:04 GMT

This card was so fun to do. I did it in my clubs this month and they were challenged but did amazingly well. Especially because I had been exposed to Covid and had to do it on Zoom. It's really hard when all you can see is their hands, but at least we got to be together.

Here is a peek at the inside. Just a few things to point out. I wanted my flowers to stick up over the edge but you have to be careful because if they go to far they will stick out the side of the card when it is folded up.

MEASUREMENTS:

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Highland Heather, score at 5 1/2,

Card Base,

If you are stamping a greeting on the front card, this is the time to do it

DIAGONAL JOY CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 02 Feb 2022 04:40:48 GMT

This card is a combination of two cards that have been around for a long time. The Diagonal cut card which can be done several different ways and the Joy Fold card which is usually a backwards card inserted into another card base. The Joy Fold has always been a standby card for me. When I am using a stamp set and I am stuck what to do with it I always fall back on the Joy Fold and it always seems to work for me.

MEASUREMENTS:

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Basic Black, score at 5 1/2, cut from top score line to bottom right corner on the front of the card
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 BasicWhite, adhere to the inside of the card
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Magenta Madness, with card in landscape position cut from top left corner to bottom right corner, this should fit perfectly because you cut the card 1/4 inch smaller, so following that would come the DSP, adhere to the front flap of the card
Cut 3 3/4 x 5 BRAND NEW! All Together DSP, watch your images! the 5" side should be on the side of your images, cut with the images right side up and the desired side facing you from the top left corner to the bottom right corner, adhere to the Magenta Madness
Cut 3 x 8 Magenta Madness, score at 4, adhere to the inside so the fold is on the right, centered on the Basic White, but make sure your able to close the diagonal flap
Cut (2) 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 Basic Black, one goes inside the Joy card portion, one goes on the outside
Cut (2) 2 5/8 x 3 5/8 Basic White, one goes in side the Joy card portion, one goes on the outside. On the outside one I stamped the heart and greeting from Here Together Stamp Set
Tie a bow with the Polished Pink Open Weave Ribbon. It is amazing at how close that looks to the Magenta Madness

Here is a peek at the inside of the card

Just changing the color from Magenta to Poppy Parade creates a different look. I also used a different sheet of DSP from the All Together pack

Here is the inside. On this one I added a layer of Poppy Parade to the Joy Card on the inside

My initial card was created with the Delightful Dahlia. This one uses Balmy Blue, Magenta Madness, Blushing Bride and Mint Macaron. The Designer Series paper came from the Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper pack

Need a little help figuring this all out? Here is a video for you

Below are the supplies I used to create the Magenta Madness card.

TUXEDO BOX CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 20 Jan 2022 22:00:03 GMT

One of my team members made the Tuxedo Card for another of my team members for her birthday. They are both really creative women. They challenged me to figure out the measurements as they were all in metric and we use imperial. So I watched several videos and came up with the measurements I wanted to use. The card is a little tricky because if you don't get the angles right it doesn't come out right! I like using 1/8 of an inch difference so that is what I did on the Designer Series Papers.

Measurements:

10 3/4 x 7 Card base (on this one I used Basic Black) Score at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2 & 10 (watch the video from here)

Cut (2) 2 3/8 x 4 1/4 Designer Series Paper
Cut (2) 2 3/8 x 2 3/8 Designer Series Paper
Cut (2) 2 3/8 x 6 Designer Series Paper

Scraps to cut inside elements
Cut 1 x 5 1/2 same color as the card base, score at 1/2" on each end
Cut 1 x 4 1/2 same color as the card base, score at 1/2" on each end

I made four different ones using different Stampin' Up Products.

Below are the video instructions

AN OLD EMBOSSING TECHNIQUE REVIVED

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 19 Jan 2022 04:45:30 GMT

Do you remember long, long ago when we used to emboss and leave the circle in the center? We would punch out layers of the same circle then emboss with an embossing folder and hope the center wouldn't be embossed. Well this is the same technique only I wanted the embossing to be in the center of the page and not on the edges. I used the new Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folders.

A couple of weeks ago I did the same card but I used a different stamp set and I showed you how to score to achieve the lines down the center. Today I will show you how to used the embossing folder. I challenge you to try this technique and see what you can create!

Measurements:

Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Highland Heather, score at 4 1/4
Cut (2) 4 x 5 1/4 Gorgeous Grape
Cut (2) 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 Basic White

To create the shim you will need 5 1/2 x 8 Basic White, score at 1" keep in mind that you can change that to be more or less based on how wide you want the embossing. Also keep in mind that each embossing machine is different. It should go through your machine easily but it should have pressure or you won't emboss. Be careful and try it. DO NOT FORCE IT THROUGH THE MACHINE!!! You can remove one section at a time until you reach what is perfect for your machine.

CHOCOLATE LOVER'S CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 19 Jan 2022 03:44:01 GMT

I love this card. It is as fun to make as it is to give. The new Gingham Embossing Folder gives the perfect look to the bar.

Measurements:

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Thick Basic White, score at 5 1/2
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White
Cut 3 3/4 x 5 Early Espresso, this is what you will be working on

Cut (8) 3/4 x 1 1/4 Early Espresso

Cut (8) 5/8 x 1 1/8 Early Espresso (This step I did two different ways, when doing it for a class I cut the pieces and they embossed, when doing it in the video I embossed then cut the pieces

Cut 3 1/2 x 3 3/4 Designer Series Paper, tear along the top, 3 3/4 is the side to side measurement. If you tear it towards you you will end up with a white edge, if you tear it away from you you will not see the white
Put adhesive on the back of the DSP and attach a piece of aluminum foil tearing it and crumpling so it looks like you just dug into that candy bar
Die cut Basic White Oval using Layering Oval Dies

HONEYBEE HOME SLIM CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 04:35:12 GMT

Today I created a Slim Card to introduce the new Slim Envelopes in the Stampin' Up! January - June 2022 Mini Catalog.

For this project I used the beautiful new Honeybee Home Bundle (pg 61). It coordinates well with Blessings of Home Bundle (pg 60). I wanted to add a unique feature so I used the Layering Designs Vellum and the Blending Brushes with Crumb Cake Stampin' Pad to create a ribbon effect.

Measurements:

Cut 7 x 8 1/2 Soft Succulent, score with 7" side at top at 3 1/2

Cut (2) 3 1/4 x 8 1/4 Basic White, adhere one inside and the other to the front of the card

Cut 3 x 8 Layering Designs Vellum

Stamp & Die cut the flowers, color with Pale Papaya, Soft Succulent and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends
Die cut 2 grasses dies in Soft Succulent
Die cut 1 stem in Pale Papaya
Die cut 2 of the large stems in Crumb Cake
Stamp the greeting in Tuxedo Black Momento, fussy cut

Finish off with Brushed Brass Butterflies

BumbleBee or Magenta Madness?

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Fri, 24 Dec 2021 04:46:50 GMT

Which one is your favorite? Magenta Madness

Or Bumblebee

This card is beautiful no matter what color you use and it is beautiful to create using a simple technique of scoring.

I used the soon to be released Dahlia Days stamp set and the Sweet Hearts Dies.

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Extra Thick Basic White, score at 5 1/2, stamp dahlia, in the top right and bottom using 2nd generation stamping (that is where you stamp once on scrap before applying the ink to the card) in Magenta Madness or Bumblebee
Cut 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White, stamp full strength Magenta Madness or Bumblebee, on the top right and bottom left using the same color
Create a mask by stamping on a sticky note and trim around the flower, use this to cover the flower image when stamping the leaves
Cover the flower and stamp the leaves in Shaded Spruce or Just Jade
Stamp the greeting in Shaded Spruce/ Just Jade in the bottom right corner
Turn this layer face down on the Scoring Board and score every 1/4 inch from 1 1/4 to 2 1/2 ( 1 1/4, 1 1/2, 1 3/4, 2, 2 1/4, 2 1/2
Die cut the larger heart from the Sweet Heart Dies, put the die on the Scoring Board in the top left corner and score at 1/4 & 1/2
Cut 1 1/4 x 5 3/4 Vellum Cardstock, with 5 3/4 along top of board, score at 1 & 4 3/4, wrap around card panel and adhere on back
Wrap ribbon around the center of the vellum layer, attach on the back
Tie a bow and adhere to the front
Attach the panel to the front of the card using Dimensionals
Attach the heart with a dimensional lining up the score lines in the heart with the score lines on the card layer

BASKET WEAVE POCKET CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Fri, 17 Dec 2021 03:39:55 GMT

I remember creating basket weave projects this time of year when I was a child. It seemed for Christmas and Thanksgiving it was a big thing in school. When I saw this I knew I had to create one. It was fun and easy.

I used the purse handle from All Dressed Up Dies, however, if you don't have them you could also use the suspender strip from Handsomely Suited or you could just cut 1/2" strips. I like the stitching on the strips so that is why I used the dies. The card is fun and I love the outcome!

Supplies:

Cut 6 1/2 x 9 1/2 Extra Thick Basic White, with 9 1/2 at top score at 2 1/4 & 6 1/2, rotate 1/4 turn and with the 6 1/2" side at the top score at 1"

Cut 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 Basic White

Scrap of Real Red for punching 1/2 of 2" circle punch

Die cut 3 strips of each color

I used the Merry Christmas from Heartfelt Wishes and the Santa from Be Jolly for the inside card. I colored Santa with Real Red Dark, Basic Black Light, Ivory and his buckle with Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends. I used Wink of Stella for his beard, and trim on his hat & coat.

CHRISTMAS SHAKER CARD & CANDLE

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 16 Dec 2021 00:44:40 GMT

This technique is a quick and easy way to create a shaker card. No tricky placement of Dimensionals or thick tacky strips and it creates a beautiful easy card. It would be just as great for a Birthday card! And almost childproof if there is such a thing. This was created using the Merry Snowflakes Bundle from the July - December 2021 Stampin' Up! catalog but you could use any die cut images you want to attach to the front. I will give you all the measurements below. Just have fun and be creative!

Supplies & measurements:

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Basic White, score at 5 1/2
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Night of Navy, adhere to inside of card
Cut 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White, adhere to Night of Navy inside the card and be sure to stamp a greeting

Front:
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Night of Navy, eventually you will adhere this to the card front

Cut 3 3/4 5 Navy Ombre Specialty Paper #155784

One Clear Medium Envelope #102619, place the Ombre Specialty Paper inside

Subtle Shimmer Sequins #156407 (July - December catalog) sprinkle into the envelope (watch the video below to see how I sealed the envelope)

Tag cut using the Tailor Made Tags, stamp greeting in Night of Navy
Die cut Snowflakes from Bundle, adhere to the front with glue dots
Tie bow using Metallic Mesh Ribbon

Then I created this beautiful little card for a candle to sit inside. This is super simple and went beautifully with the card.

Measurements:

Start with 12 x 12 and cut to 4 x 12, score both ends at 4 inches. I am sure you could do it with 11 x 4, just score both ends at 4" that would create a 3" section in the middle which would work just fine, however you would have to fold it differently. It would be interesting to try. If you do let me know how it comes out.

Cut 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 Basic White, cut smaller die in center
Cut 3 5/8 x 3 5/8 Specialty Ombre Paper, die cut larger hole in center - watch the video to see how I did this

Cut 2 3/4 x 2 3/4 Vellum Cardstock, stamp greeting from Inspired Thoughts in Stazon, tip clean the stamp right away!

Die cut the snowflakes in Basic White attach with glue dots and use Subtle Shimmer Sequins in the center of the two smaller ones

Tie a bow with Metallic Mesh Ribbon and glue dot it to the center of the largest snowflake

Cut 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 Basic White for inside the card

TEAM CHRISTMAS BINGO PARTY!!

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sat, 04 Dec 2021 23:18:06 GMT

Last night we had our annual Team Christmas party. Each year I try to come up with a different idea. This year I had not done a bingo since April and my team was really ready for one. It was a fun evening of stamping cards and playing bingo. I love hosting bingo for my team and customers. I love that I can give away fun Stampin' Up products.

POP UP AND PULL OUT CARD - NATURE'S HARVEST

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 24 Nov 2021 22:25:11 GMT

I saw this style of card created by Lisa Curcio last week and I wanted to give it a try. This is a beautiful card and it looks like a lot of work but it is just a lot of cutting. It doesn't take a lot of paper just a lot of little scraps. I used the Nature's Harvest Bundle for the one I created in the video.

HONEYBEE HOME

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Mon, 22 Nov 2021 23:03:43 GMT

I love this card layout! It is fun simple and could be used for any occasion. In this one I used the Honeybee Home Bundle including the NEW Heart & Home Designer Series Paper. I used the Rectangle Postage Punch from the Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog and the greeting comes from Celebrate With Flowers #155059 in the Annual Catalog.

Measurements

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Basic White, score at 5 1/2

Front:

On this one I used the Fresh Freesia In-Color Designer Series Paper and a retired label punch, scalloped circle and the Dressed To Impress Bundle from the Annual Catalog

One last image using the Patterned Party DSP and the Pumpkin from Sparkle of the Season

CIRCLE PUNCH BACKGROUND

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 10 Nov 2021 03:16:51 GMT

This is a fun and easy card providing you are able to cut straight! As you will see in the video it is extremely important to cut your paper straight in order for this to work. I used a 2 1/4" circle punch, which is no longer available through Stampin' Up! however, you could use circle dies and it would work the same.

On the Christmas card I used the Be Jolly Stamp set and Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper. You will find a list of supplies below and a link where you can order them or any other supplies you may need.

Instructions
Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Real Red, score at 5 1/2

Cut (2) 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White, one for inside and the other for the front
Cut 3 3/4 x 5 Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper, using a 2 1/4" circle punch punch out the top left corner and the bottom right corner. I did this on 2 pieces of DSP and interchanged the pieces.

Die cut the largest image from Hippo & Friends for Santa
Stamp Santa and color him with Real Red, Basic Black light, Daffodil Delight & Ivory Stampin' Blends

Die cut the greeting tag from Seasonal Label Dies and stamp in Real Red

Here are two more cards I made with the same style but I used the Ever Eden Specialty Designer Series Paper. I used two different pieces from the coordinating pack.

SWEET TREATS QUAD EASEL CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Fri, 05 Nov 2021 01:04:06 GMT

This is a fun card to create. I saw the front of it online and decided that I wanted to make it similar to what I had seen but I changed the flat card into a standard 6 x 6 card. I wanted to use the Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper. I had to select a paper that would coordinate with the 12 x 12 papers I have in stock. One of which was Cherry Cobbler

Cut 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 Basic White

FEAR OF MISSING OUT?

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 18:06:01 GMT

Do you ever worry that you will miss out on an opportunity that will change your life? Do you ever wonder...what if? Joining Stampin' Up! was one of those life changing experiences for me.

I was working full time and raising three children, the last thing I needed was another full time job! I had a couple of friends from my church that had started stamping and I had always done crafts. So I figured I could do one night a month to get together and do a Shoebox swap. One of the gals decided to sign up as a demonstrator with Stampin' Up! I told her I would help her and buy my products from her. A couple of times she hinted that I should sign up and get the discount. One day when she said it, I realized that she was right. I was just signing up to get the discount on products. I wanted to be clear that I would not be doing anything else. I would imagine that at least 90% of demonstrators sign up for just that reason. The next thing I knew I was out of my full time job and running my own business as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I haven't regretted it for a moment. I get to make all the decisions on what is going on in my business, although sometimes I wish someone else would, I decide when I work and what I do.

Even if I wasn't doing this as a business I love the discount on all my stamping products, I get to see and order the new products earlier than the general public and with the state of shipping, that means I get the opportunity to order while it is still in stock, I can earn vacations (that's hard work!) additional bonuses, products and other perks along the way! Does any of this sound interesting to you?

SWEETS & TREATS FUN FOLD CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 02 Nov 2021 23:09:35 GMT

I remember doing this card years, I mean a lot of years, ago and it seemed like it was such a hard layout. It is really easy as long as you have a Stampin' Up! Paper Trimmer with a nice sharp cutting blade.

For those who are weak at measuring, just go as close as you can. It is really easy to know where the 16th of an inch is on the Stampin' Up! Paper trimmer, just count the little lines, or divide. So if I am looking for 13/16, I know that there are 4, sixteenths in each quarter of an inch, so it is the little line just past 3/4. 13 divided by 4 is 3 (3/4) with one left over. Sounds really simple now. Check out my video below for help on the measuring.

I love this stamp set Sweets & Treats! It is perfect for the holidays and birthdays. It also coordinates nicely with Measure of Love #154997

Measurements:
Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Basic White,

With 8 1/2 side at top score at 2 1/8 from each end,
Rotate so the 5 1/2" side is at the top, line up at 1" and cut between the two score lines
Flip over and do the same thing on the other edge (line up at 1" and cut between the two score lines)
Turn so 8 1/2" side is at the top, line up at 3 3/16, score between the cut lines
Flip over and do the same thing (line up at 3 3/16, score between the cut lines)
With 8 1/2" side at top, score at 4 1/4 from the top edge to the cut line
With the 8 1/2 side at top, score at 4 1/4 from the bottom edge to the cut line

See how easy that was! just follow the steps

Card stock layers:

Cut (2) 2 x 5 3/8 Basic Black

Cut (4) 7/8 x 2 Basic Black

Cut (2) 15/16 x 3 3/8 Basic Black (15/16 is the little line just before the 1" mark on the cutter)

Cut (1) 2 x 3 3/8 Basic Black

Designer Series Paper layers:

Cut (2) 1 7/8 x 5 1/4
Cut (4) 3/4 x 1 7/8

Cut (2) 13/16 x 3 1/4 (remember 13/16 is the little line just after 3/4" on the cutter)

Scrap of Basic White for the image. I used Smoky Slate, Real Red, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Evening Evergreen, Calypso Coral and Soft Suede Stampin' Blends to color the images,
Stamp the greeting in Tuxedo Black and punched with the retired Classic Label Punch

EDEN'S GARDEN FUN FOLD CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Mon, 01 Nov 2021 22:22:29 GMT

Release date: November 2, 2021

This is a card with a surprise inside! First let me tell you about the Eden's Garden Collection. The set includes a stamp set, dies, beautiful designer series papers, cotton paper and gems. The designer series paper is so beautiful. I love all of the papers, which is unusual for me. Usually there are a few that I just love and the rest are ok. This pack has the most beautiful combinations of Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen with a sprinkle of gold foil throughout. The cotton paper makes me think of tissue paper just thicker but not as thick as our vellum cardstock. One side is silky smooth and the other has a beautiful texture.

This card was fun and easy to make once I had the measurements down. I used the dies from Hydrangea Haven Bundle to cut the little flowers and the dies from Seasonal Label Dies to cut the tags for the greetings.

BOOK COVER BOXES

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 23:58:33 GMT

Do you remember these little books with Lifesaver Candies inside?

One thing I have missed greatly the last two years is the opportunity to do craft fairs. I have participated in Craft Fairs for so many years. When my children were younger I did all kinds of things for craft fairs.I sewed kitchen hand towels, crocheted, knitted, anything and everything. I have always done crafts but the last 5 years I have stayed to paper crafting and using it as an opportunity to meet new customers and team members. I just love to meet new people so I have missed that this year.

A couple of years ago I made a few of these for a craft fair and they sold out before the fair even started. I love to make boxes and these are fun and easy. So I thought why not do them for my Facebook live today. I have done them right from the beginning so you can replay the video and get all the important information from start to finish!

FROSTED GINGERBREAD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 05:02:37 GMT

I love gingerbread, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, nutmeg and the seasonings that are used this time of year. Those are my favorites so when I think of this stamp set it makes me long for fall. It is finally here and I am so glad... I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte last Friday and it was as delicious as I remembered from last year.

The card above was made using the Frosted Gingerbread Bundle and the beautiful new Silver Foil. The foil comes in what looks like 3 different colors. One looks like our typical silver foil, one looks like a gray and the last has a texture like a brushed silver which gives it a purple look. This one is the brushed silver.

This card was simple to make but just a few tips and tricks will make it easier.

Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Basic White, score at 4 1/4
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Silver Foil, use the center of this piece to cut out your bells. Be careful not to get too close to the edge of the foil. You should be able to cut four bells without any problems.

Cut 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White, stamp the greeting and heat emboss with Silver Embossing Powder, emboss using the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (TIP: look at the numbers on the embossing folder, they will give you a clue which way the folder should go.) The greeting goes towards the center fold of the embossing folder, place it between the lines of music so that you are not embossing a lot of it.

Attach the die cut bells to the front using adhesive on the left one and dimensionals on the right one

I had so much fun playing with this set of stamps & dies that I pulled out the Memories and More cards and for my next class I am offering 12 beautiful cards and a Easel Candy Box created with these. . . and if you purchase the bundle I will give you the instructions and a card kit for 5 more cards

And so this is what I created! Join me for this fun class either in person if you live nearby or online.

EDEN'S GARDEN

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 00:31:25 GMT

This card shows five of the beautiful new papers in the Eden's Garden Suite from Stampin' Up! that is to be released on November 1. This paper is absolutely beautiful. I love ever pattern in the entire packet. Many times there is one or two that I favor. In this packet I love them all.

This card is a duplicate of the one I made yesterday with a few changes. I used the border die along the bottom from the Eden's Garden Suite, and I used the smaller die when cutting the stitched rectangles. I also cut the Designer Series Paper on my paper trimmer at 11/16 x 2 11/16. I wanted to show more of the papers so that allowed me to focus on the papers more than the background. The greeting banner is cut with the die in the suite and stamped with Evening Evergreen. I added a few of the Champagne Rhinestones just to give it some bling.

Right now the only way you can get this beautiful suite is if you are a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. If you are interested in signing up check out the information on Join My Team

Currently the Garden Gems are not available, therefore, the Collection is not orderable. However, the only thing that is discounted is the Bundle, so the cost is the same even if the items are ordered individually. This will not last and when it is sold out it is gone. Don't delay ordering either now as a demonstrator or on November 1.

TRADITIONAL OR NOT CHRISTMAS CARDS

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 00:16:42 GMT

Which is your favorite? The traditional Christmas card with red and green or

Non traditional using Mint Macaron & Blushing Bride. In some ways it still follows the traditional just in lighter shades. The first card was made with Heartwarming Hugs, one of my favorite papers that carried over from the 2020 Holiday Catalog. The second one was made using the new Whimsy & Wonder from the 2021 Holiday Catalog. Both cards are quick and easy to make and use some of my favorite products including the Wonderful Snowflakes. They are die cut and ready to be added to any card.

Measurements:

DELICATE DAHLIAS

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 22 Sep 2021 02:44:58 GMT

I love the little flower in Delicate Dahlia. This is a Sale-A-Bration set which will be gone at the end of September. It requires a $100 purchase but it is well worth it. I also used Biggest Wish from the 2021-22 Annual Catalog. The greeting really stands out even though all the flowers are in the background. This flower makes a beautiful background. It is quick and simple and works in any color!

Measurements:

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Extra Thick Basic White, score at 5 1/2
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 your choice of colored cardstock, I chose Highland Heather on the first one and Cajun Craze on the second one

A FALL CARD WITH A SURPRISE INSIDE!

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 15 Sep 2021 02:46:38 GMT

I so love fall! I think I have a fall spirit if that is possible. I just love the weather in fall all the beautiful colors and the smells of the air and pumpkin.. I love anything pumpkin. I guess it is not really pumpkin so much as the spices that go along with it. Cinnamon and nutmeg are my favorites.

HOPE BOX PAPER PUMPKIN ALTERNATES

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 14 Sep 2021 01:52:12 GMT

With in person events returning my life has become so busy. We have Stamp Camp, the calendar and who knows what else coming! We have holidays near and birthdays are many this time of year. It seems like it has been a long time since I have been on here.

Today I took some time out, at least that was how it felt for me. I joined a couple of gals on my team and we had a stamping morning. We took the August 2021 Hope Box Paper Pumpkin and created some alternate cards. It was such a fun and relaxing morning for me. I feel so refreshed.

Below is the video I created, pardon the length, it is long so fast forward to the parts you may want to watch.

MASCULINE SUNBURST CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 01 Sep 2021 16:47:35 GMT

This card is a great use of left over Designer Series Papers. When you purchase the 6 x 6 sheets and cut them down to 4 x 5 1/4 you have quite a bit left over (2 inches on one side). This is a great way to use that left over and make some beautiful cards. When it comes to coordinating the sheets just keep in mind that Stampin' Up! has done that for us when they package them together. The paper I used was In Good Taste and I thing it makes a great masculine card.

Measurements:

Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Early Espresso, score at 4 1/4
Cut 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 Copper Foil, adhere to front of card
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White, this is what you will use to create the design
Cut (5) strips of Designer Series Paper 1 1/4 x 6, then cut them diagonally from the top left corner to the bottom right corner

Cut 1/2 x 3 3/4 Designer Series Paper for the greeting, flag the ends using the Banners Pick A Punch
Cut 5/8 x 4 Copper Foil, flag the ends using the Banners Pick A Punch

I finished off with a couple of the copper dots from the Brushed Metallic Dots

HOPE BOX PAPER PUMPKIN

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 25 Aug 2021 17:25:30 GMT

This is a fun pop up easel card which is easy to create using the August 2021 Hope Box Paper Pumpkin.

Right now anyone can order this Paper Pumpkin Kit. You do not have to be a subscriber. If you purchase the Hope Box #158541 using this Link, I will send you a link to join me on Zoom on Friday, September 3 at 10am to create some alternative cards. I will also send you a packet to use in creating the cards. The card above is one of the ones included in the kit we will be creating.

JOYFUL LIFE SLIDER CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 04:39:22 GMT

This fun card was created using Joyful Life stamp set. It is really an easy card once you get the hang of it. The little guy rides his bike across the card. I used Beauty of Friendship #154983 for the tree, Joyful Life for the greeting and the bear along with Give it a Whirl Dies#154336.

Measurements:
Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Misty Moonlight, score at 4 1/4

Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White, do not adhere to the card front yet
Cut 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White, place short side at top of trimmer at 1" mark and cut from 1/2 to 4 1/2, that will leave you 1/2" on each end, tape off just above the cut line with green tape and using the Blending Brush color the bottom (grass) area with Soft Succulent

Cut one of each of the clouds in the Give It a Whirl Dies in Post It Note, stick to the top of the cut piece of Basic White, Move the tape to just below the cut line, using the Blending Brushes color with Misty Moonlight, remove the Post it note, stamp the tree in Early Espresso

Here is where you will want to watch the video below

SIMPLE IS BETTER

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 19 Aug 2021 22:41:30 GMT

Sometimes the simpler the card is the more elegant it looks. In this case I think the little white line around the layer makes it beautiful. This little line is only 1/16" around and therefore makes it very critical that the next layer is straight.

For this beautiful little card I used several different Stampin' Up! products:

Seasonal Label Dies #156299

Nature's Harvest Stamp Set #156495

Blossoms In Bloom #152684

Encircled In Beauty Dies #155546

Measurements:
Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Highland Heather, score at 5 1/2
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White for inside the card
Cut 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 Basic White, adhere to the front of the card, centering
Cut 3 1/8 x 4 3/8 Highland Heather, adhere to Basic White
Cut 2 7/8 x 3 Blackberry Bliss

Cut doily, label and greeting tag in Basic White, stamp image on label in Tuxedo black and color with Granny Apple Green, Blackberry Bliss & Highland Heather, adhere to card front
Stamp the greeting in Blackberry Bliss, attach with Dimensionals
Tie a double bow with White Baker's Twine and attach with a glue dot

GIFT CARD #6 - HAND PENNED

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 18 Aug 2021 02:30:45 GMT

This is the final gift card for the Christmas Gift Card Album. This one is really simple to create as a gift card and is a fun addition to the album.

I used Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper and the dies that coordinate with the stamp set. I used the Happy Birthday from Sweet As A Peach.

Measurements:

Cut 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 Highland Heather, this is the card base
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper
Cut 9 11/16 x 4, score at 3 1/4 & 6 1/2, the reason I cut just short of 9 3/4 is for folding purposes. One end will tuck into the other one better when folding it in thirds

Cut 4 x 2 Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper for inside pocket, punch using 1 1/2" punch on one edge

Cut (2) 3 x 3 3/4 Basic White, one for the inside center of the card, one for the front panel, stamp greeting on other one and adhere to center inside
Cut greeting label using Seasonal Label Dies #156299, adhere to first panel

Add glue to the back of the front folding panels, attach 22" of ribbon to the back, adhere to the card base

DOUBLE SLIDER CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 05:32:41 GMT

In searching for ideas for the Christmas Album/Gift Card Holder I was looking through my old files when I came across the Double Slider Card. My thought is that you can make most any card into a gift card by adding a pocket to it. This was perfect. I used three stamp sets for this card. I used Measure of Love, Lovely You and Joyful Life to create this card. They are all sets that have great greetings. I used Basic Black and Magenta Madness. It is a fun and easy card to make. I was just having an off day on the first video so I had to do it again.

Measurements:

Cut (2) 4 1/2 x 4 1/4 Basic White
Cut 4 x 4 1/4 Basic Black

Cut 3 7/8 x 3 5/8 Basic White, emboss with Tasteful Textile
Cut (2) 3 x 4 1/8 Basic White

Cut 3 x 4 Designer Series Paper

Cut 1 1/2 x 4 1/2 Designer Series Paper

DOUBLE DUTCH DOOR FOLD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 03 Aug 2021 22:38:13 GMT

One of my team members contacted me a couple of days ago and she said she wanted to know how to make the Double Dutch Door Card, so I thought, why not do that for my Facebook live!! I am always looking for ideas. We have been working on making gift card holders for the book, so can I make a Double Dutch Door Card Gift Card Holder?

I used Flowers of Friendship Bundle in the 21-22 Annual Catalog.

Measurements for the Double Dutch Door Card:

Cut 4 1/4 x 9 Basic Black, score at 5 1/2
Cut 2 x 8 1/2 Basic Black, score at 2 1/8 from each end, fold and adhere to the inside of the card base

I think these cute little boxes must make it to my table. They are not hard to make. If you watch the video you will see I was just having an off day. I am sure you understand what I mean I think we all have them. I like the boxes enough that I could make 50 of them for the fair. Decorated with different things and put some Hershey's Nuggets inside all wrapped in DSP

GIFT CARD HOLDER #3

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 27 Jul 2021 23:00:02 GMT

Here is the third Gift Card holder for the Album. Of course, the one that goes into the album is not going to be done with Hand Penned. I wanted you to be able to see that the gift card holder is a card that you could send to a friend or loved one with a little token inside.

SKETCH CHALLENGE #6 - ARTISTICALLY INKED

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 03:31:39 GMT

This is the sketch challenge for this week. It is pretty simple but sometimes simple becomes more difficult to figure out.

When I saw the Artistically Inked stamp set, I didn't fall in love with the flower, I fell in love with the abstract background stamp, at least that was how I saw it. I love the DSP that coordinates with this but I would be safe to say, so does everyone else. It has been on backorder pretty consistently. I have put off doing a class with it because of the backorder situation.

Today I decided to pull out Artistically Inked and play with it. This is my answer to this sketch challenge. I have started working with Stampin' Blends & alcohol in my clubs and this looks like some of the things we have created.

Supplies & Measurements:

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Basic White, score at 5 1/2
Cut 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 Shaded Spruce, adhere to the card front

Cut 3 x 5 Basic White, stamp with Pale Papaya & Shaded Spruce, use fine tip glue and put lines in the image, add Guilded leafing to glue (see the red arrows), wipe with a sponge to clear off excess, adhere to Shaded Spruce

Cut 1/2 x 3 1/4 Shaded Spruce, adhere across the card
Cut Basic White tag using the Tailored Tags, stamp greeting with from Artistically Inked in Shaded Spruce, adhere with Dimensionals

Tie a bow with Pale Papaya and adhere with a glue dot

WHICH INK DO I USE?

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 21 Jul 2021 17:28:09 GMT

Have you ever wondered what ink to use in a certain situation?

If you were in my club this month we used Stazon, VersaMark and Momento inks with the chalks. Many of you were asking when to use which ink. So I have created a chart to make it easy for you. This will stay here on my blog for your reference.

The one above is a quick reference for the two most commonly used black inks.

GIFT CARD ALBUM POCKET #2

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 21 Jul 2021 03:12:58 GMT

SKETCH CHALLENGE #5

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 15 Jul 2021 21:32:43 GMT

A sketch challenge is suppose to be a place to start from. The card doesn't always come out looking just like the sketch. At least that is the way it is for me. Sometimes better and sometimes worse. A sketch challenge is to help you get started and then you can take over and make it your own. This week I challenge you to add another layer to the sketch. That means you have to change the measurements of the layers already there or figure out the new measurements. To change one layer to go over another layer you will cut the top layer 1/8 or 1/4 inch smaller depending on how much of that layer you want to show. In my chase I cut the Basic White layer 1/8 inch smaller because I wanted just a little of the black to show.

Have fun with the challenge and send me your final result.

I used the Color & Contour Bundle and the following products

Measurements

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Fresh Freesia, score at 5 1/2
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Basic Black
Cut 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 (NOTICE THE MEASUREMENTS? 1/8") Whisper White

Cut 1 x 5 1/2 Basic Black and use the die to cut, I used the scallop die and on the 2nd card I used the largest rectangle from the dies and just cut one edge
Cut 2 1/4 x 1 In Color Designer Series Paper

Scraps of Basic White for the flowers and greeting which was cut with the smallest rectangle die
Add bow and Bling and you're all set!

Inside:
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White
Cut 1/2 x 4 DSP, adhere to the Basic White, adhere to inside of card

SWEET ICE CREAM WATERFALL CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 14 Jul 2021 01:04:44 GMT

There are two reasons for this Sweet Ice Cream Waterfall card. The first one is to teach how to do a waterfall card so those who are going to be doing the Gift Card Album will know how to do this page. The second is to encourage my granddaughter. She is a mom on two little ones and we all know how stressful that can be. I want to send her a card with a sweet little gift inside. I don't think she sees my blog but just in case, I don't want to ruin the surprise!

CHRISTMAS ALBUM OR GIFT CARD HOLDER

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 23:41:52 GMT

The question is which will it be? An album or a gift card holder. Over the next couple of weeks for my Facebook live I will be working on an album/gift card holder.

Several years ago I did a class in which we created the Star Album. One of my customers didn't want a photo album but saw it could be used for another purpose. Each year she struggled to find the perfect gift f for her in-laws for Christmas and each year they would return the gift after Christmas. Wanting to give them a gift that they would appreciate and not return was her motivation for doing the class. She created pockets where we put places for photos. She purchased low cost gift cards, ie $5 at McDonalds. She knew that they loved to go to McDonalds and have a frosty. Just little things that she knew they could use throughout the year and they would appreciate them.

Now is a good time to start this type of thing for that special someone on your list. You can make a small purchase of a gift card each month without breaking your budget at Christmas. When Christmas rolls around you have your gift all done and paid for.

By the way, they did return the gift, but it was the next year around Christmas and asked for a refill. They really enjoyed the gift!

So I am going to break this down and I will create a part each week. This week we will create the actual book portion. I will be offering a kit/ class in August where everything will be included and cut for you.

SKETCH CHALLENGE #3

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Thu, 01 Jul 2021 22:44:00 GMT

This is the Sketch Challenge for this week. Look at the card, so you see the layout I used? I am challenging you to make one using the same layout, send it to me or post it on my Facebook Page and I will post it here on my blog. I used Garden Wishes and my greeting came from Sweet As A Peach. All the supplies are listed below.

Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Evening Evergreen, score at 5 1/2
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White, adhere to card front

HOW TO USE GIVE IT A WHIRL DIES

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 30 Jun 2021 00:07:57 GMT

These are fun dies and if you make cards for kids you will want to invest in the dies. They include the mechanism as well as some fun shapes to go along with it. I have been working on designing my next class and I am using Art In Bloom Hybrid Bundle so I had a few flowers left over from playing with that and decided they would make a great front for my card. It goes to show that you can decorate it any way you want. I think the new Santa Clause coming out in the July - December Catalog will be really fun with this set of dies!

Cut 4 x 11 1/4 Soft Succulent, score at 5 1/2
Cut 5 3/8 x 4 - Basic White
Determine which shape you want to use for the window
Cut 5 1/2 x 4 Designer Series Paper, then place the window shape and the large rectangle on the DSP and cut out
Center the DSP on the Basic White and trace where the area for the wheel is, punch with a 1 1/4" punch
Cut 4 x 4 Basic White, cut wheel out, it will leave impressions, stamp those areas, remember the wheel turns. Turn it so the greeting is at the top each time you stamp so you don't end up with one upside down.

Line up the DSP with the Basic White and punch a hole in the Basic White where the small hole is in the DSP

Put the brad through the DSP, don't close the prongs down, turn it over and put dimensionals on the back of the DSP, allowing the wheel to move freely, remove from DSP

Attach the wheel to the Basic White, don't tighten down it needs to be able to turn
Peel off the dimensionals on the DSP and adhere to the Basic White over the wheel, attach to the card front & decorate

Flowers: Stamp with Art In Bloom in Pale Papaya and die cut

Add a bow and one of the little arrows from the Give It A Whirl Dies

INSIDE:

Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White

Cut 4 x 1/2 DSP adhere along the bottom of the Basic white leaving about 1/4" showing

Note:

In the video I created an easel card. I cut an additional piece of Evening Evergreen at 4 1/4 x 11, score at 2 3/4 & 5 1/2

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 23:27:24 GMT

I decided to use the Sweet Strawberry Bundle, which created another challenge for me because we no longer have a Designer Series Paper that coordinates with this stamp set.

Team Thank You Gifts

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Sun, 13 Jun 2021 02:45:34 GMT

Before I headed off to Hawaii last month, one of my friends and fellow demos, Lisa Hansen, and I spent a few hours decorating these cute little Suitcases to send off to my team members as a thank you for helping me earn the trip. I wanted to give them a little glimpse of how grateful I was to have them as a part of my team and helping me earn this amazing trip two years in a row.

These little suitcases, I have since learned are on Amazon as eyelash cases. The ones I purchased didn't say anything about eyelashes, not did they contain eyelashes. Here is the link to Amazon, where I purchased them.

I filled them with fruit flavored candies and gum, of course each one in it's own decorative wrapper.

If you decide to purchase them and do something with them please post it on my facebook page so we can all see what wonderful ideas everyone has.New Paragraph

HYBRID EMBOSSING

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Fri, 11 Jun 2021 18:26:13 GMT

Unfortunately the photography of this card doesn't truly reflect the beauty of the card. I used the new Are in Bloom Bundle which includes a Hybrid Embossing Folder. You may be asking what a "Hybrid" embossing folder is. The definition of a hybrid is "a thing made by combining two different elements; a mixture.". In this bundle found on page 116 of the new 2021-22 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog you will find an embossing folder that also cuts.

Measurements:
Cut 4 1/4 x 11 Soft Suede, score at 5 1/2

Cut 5 1/4 x 3 1/2 Pale Papaya, adhere to the front of the card centering
Cut 3 1/4 x 5 Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper, cover the front of that with one of the Paper Lattice Accent, attach to the Pale Papaya
Wrap a piece of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon around and adhere in the back

Cut 2" of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon, fold in half and attach to the ribbon wrapped around the card.

On a scrap of Basic White stamp the flower image in Pale Papaya, ink the fill image in Pale Papaya and using a dauber color the center with Flirty Flamingo, die cut and emboss using the Hybrid Bundle (watch the video), attach to the front of the card

Stamp the leaves in Pear Pizzaz and die cut, tuck under the flowers using glue dots

Die cut the shape for the greeting, cut with the die in the set, move it over and cut again, stamp the greeting in Soft Suede

Here is one I made using Real Read and Basic Black. I used the Hostess Designer Paper Pattern Party on page 171. I used an ink pad and colored the Paper Lattice Accent.

Thank you for joining me today! I hope this is helpful in using the new Hybrid Embossing Folder. Below you will find a link to the store where you can purchase the products I used. The last 4 products were used to create the Real Red & Black card. You will need to substitute the colors.

REVERSE MASKING

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 00:12:20 GMT

This is the final product I ended up with, however, in this case as happens many times when I have an idea I go the long way around to my final project and it looks like what I started with.

I wanted to show you Reverse Masking Technique, which is similar to masking. When we mask we stamp an image and then cover that image (mask) in order to stamp other things around it and not cover over the original image. Reverse masking means we cover the area where we don't want to stamp, sort of the same but the area has no image on it so we are covering a blank area. In this case I covered the center area so I would not stamp the leaves and flowers then I went back and stamped the greeting in the center. I also used the gold leafing on this card. I will show you an easy and sort of clean way to use it.

I started with just stamping this beautiful set to get a feel for it. Sweet As a Peach can be found on page 60 of the 2021-22 Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog. The Suite includes the bundle (stamp & dies), You're A Peach Designer Series Paper and the Mini Jam Jars (another days project). I love the greetings in this set and the images will be amazing to work with. This is the card I started with, notice NO masking at all.

Then I started with the Reverse Masking Technique. I cut a piece of computer paper to 5 x 3 3/4 and a piece of Basic White the same size. Using the largest circle die (which is no longer current) I cut an offset circle. That would be my mask.

I gently adhered this to the Basic White card stock by putting a few little dots of Tombow Multipurpose Glue (green glue) smearing it and letting it dry until it becomes tacky. Then I began stamping around the circle allowing the image to go into the center area. Just be sure to use enough pressure so you will get crisp edges when you remove the computer paper. I stamped the greeting in the center. Here are the results.

Here is the final card

Measurements

Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Extra Thick Basic White, score at 4 1/4
Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Pale Papaya, adhere to card front
Cut 5 x 3 3/4 Pear Pizzaz
Cut 4 7/8 x 3 5/8 Basic White

Cut 1 1/4 x 8 Computer paper strip, place over center area attach outside of the card

Cut 2 x 8 1/2 Computer Paper strip, place over top of the previous computer paper, this is to keep you from overstamping with this particular stamp, stamp the leaves in Pear Pizzaz, the flowers in Pale Papaya, the flower centers in Pear Pizzaz and the greeting in Tuxedo Black Momento

Remove the computer paper strips

Put 1/8" Tear 'N Tape along the two edges of the stamping and put Gold Leafing on top of the Tear 'N Tape.

Add a few Basic Pearls or Rhinestones to finish off the card.

GABLE BOX

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Fri, 04 Jun 2021 04:29:59 GMT

These sweet little boxes have been around forever, but they are great to make up ahead of time, store flat, add a greeting and give a small gift. Gift boxes are always great to have on hand. This one is created with one sheet of cardstock. The finished size is 1 1/2 x 3 3/4 x 4 1/2

Measurements:
Cut 11 x 6 Misty Moonlight cardstock, with the 11" side at the top, score at 1 1/2, 5 1/4, 6 3/4 & 10 1/2, rotate, with 6" side at top score at 1 1/2, 4 & 5 1/4, Burnish all score lines trim according to the pattern below. Cut wedges where the black wedges are and cut out where the X''s are

CASING THE CATTY

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 21:23:32 GMT

Have you ever purchased a stamp set and asked yourself why? Maybe it was something you thought was cute but when you got it you weren't sure what you were thinking of. Or maybe the need a quick card like right now!

Don't forget that the Stampin' Up! catalog is not just a book with things for sale but it is also an idea book. In this post I will show you how I CASE (D) the catty. This card is on page 78 of the catalog. You will see that I have changed things and that makes it my own.

TWISTED PAPER CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Fri, 28 May 2021 03:26:22 GMT

On this card I used the Hand-Penned Bundle and the Encircled Beauty Dies. I saw this technique on 2BigGirlsCrafting and studied it closely. The DSP on the right appears to be folded over. However, it is not. They also used metric measurements and I wanted it in inches so I set out to change it. It was not easy! The only way I could make it work was to cut off 1/8" after I had created the folded paper strip. Be sure to watch the video below.

HOW TO USE DAYS TO REMEMBER STAMP SET

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Wed, 12 May 2021 02:19:12 GMT

Using the New Days to Remember stamp set is really a lot easier than it looks. When I first saw it I thought about the calendars we make each year and how wonderful it would be.

QUICK & EASY TAILORED TAG CARD

stampdebcin@gmail.com (Debbie Chronister) — Fri, 02 Apr 2021 05:15:48 GMT

This is a great card for the beginner stamper or the advanced. It doesn't matter. What makes it great for the beginner is that is only requires a few supplies to get started and your imagination can grow from there. All you will need is a designer series paper, Basic White and a coordinating card base color. Add a little ribbon and an ink and you are set to go!

For my first project I used Highland Heather for my card base and the Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper

Cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4

Cut 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White or this could be another color that coordinates with your Designer Series Paper

Cut 3 3/4 x 5 Basic White (This is the layer you will build your image on)
You will need the Tailored Tag Punch along with some scraps o Basic White and your card base color

A ribbon and some bling to coordinate

Here are a few more samples:

In this one I used Pacific Point for the card Base, a layer of Basic Black and Well Suited Designer Series Paper

This one uses Bermuda Bay, Real Red and the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper (soon to retire!)

This one uses Basic White, Basic Black and True Love Designer Series Paper

Inside:

Cut 5 x 4 Basic White
Cut a strip of DSP and coordinating color to put across the bottom
