Stampin' Up! Let's try a new Technique

 

Popping In with New Ways to Paper Piece

Adhesive Sheets can be handy for many things—but have you ever thought of using them to simplify a paper-piecing project? Their gentle stickiness makes it easy to add cardstock, then die cut into lovely shapes to create an instant embellishment or focal point. It’s impossible not to get “carried away” by these paper-pieced balloons! Our advice? File this project away (or share it on social media!) as a budget-friendly way to use all those paper strips in your scrap stash. Give it a try with all of your scrap stash and make beautiful cards. If you would like a copy of the PDF file, just email me and I will send it to you. Thanks for stopping in.

It's Coming! Stampin' Hot Foil System

 

Introducing one of the hottest items in crafting—the new Stampin’ Hot Foil System. The metallic magic starts with Stampin’ Hot Foil Rolls, specially-made Hot Foil dies, and the Stampin’ Hot Foil System that works with our Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (sold separately). The heat of the platform transfers the foil using hot foil dies designed specifically for this system, allowing you to add dazzling details to paper and more. (IMPORTANT NOTE: Cutting dies are not designed to be used with hot foiling. You cannot die cut using foiling dies. Doing so risks damaging the dies and the system.)

Stampin’ Hot Foil Brochure_US by Stampin' Up! - Issuu

 

It's pretty easy to use and Stampin' Up! provides videos that helped me a lot. If you overthink it, like I do, then watching the video helped!! You can get this new Stampin' Hot Foil System beginning at midnight, July 10th. 

Here are a couple of cards that I made yesterday:

The Butterfly Flight and the Classic Greetings are both new Hot Foil Dies, I can't wait to get even more. With 3 different colors of Foils, this will be a game changer.

Contact me if you have any questions or to get started.

Happy 4th of July!

 

As we celebrate the Fourth of July, I'm reminded of how blessed we are to enjoy the freedoms we cherish and the wonderful communities we're privileged to be a part of.

I hope your day is filled with family, friends, laughter, and moments that become treasured memories. Whether you're watching fireworks, enjoying a backyard barbecue, or simply taking a quiet moment to appreciate our country's beauty, I wish you a safe and joyful Independence Day.

I'm also incredibly grateful for this wonderful stamping community. Thank you for allowing me to share creativity, inspiration, and friendship with you throughout the year. Your support means more than you know!

May your Fourth of July be filled with gratitude, celebration, and patriotic pride.

God Bless America, and Happy Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙

Stampin' Up! - Going Bold

 

Creative Challenge: Using a Set Color Combo

This month’s Creative Challenge invites you to design a project using Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Strawberry Slush, and Timid Tiger. While this color palette feels bold when represented in cardstock, we chose a softer look for our Birthday Wishes Card by coloring black-and-white Artisan Sketched Garden Designer Series Paper with Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Strawberry Slush, and Timid Tiger Classic Stampin’ Pads and Blender Pens. Timid Tiger also shows up in the sentiment and Daffodil Delight shines through the honeycomb paper, softened with a layer of vellum. Will you go bold—or soften the palette?
