Online Exclusive-Weekly Wed. #15

Online Exclusives, Thinking of You, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

I am sure you will love, love, love, the new Latte Love Bundle that was released last month. This is an online exclusive and although our new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog goes live today, click below to download your digital copy, this sweet bundle will not be featured. You can however, click here to see this bundle and many more online exclusive stamp sets that are available for purchase. So let’s create a super fun card today.

https://youtu.be/KwCazg2Uf5k

I started with an Early Espresso card base and added a layer of Basic White that I embossed using the new So Sweetly Embossing folder featured on page 129. Although you cannot tell from the catalog, this embossing folder is super sized and perfect for creating those larger card fronts and slimline cards. This embossing folder measures 6 x 8 -1/2. The Dotted Circle Embossing folder is also supersized. All other folders pictured on page 129 are regular size.

The Early Espresso piece on the front measures 2-3/8 x 4 and the coffee bean designer series paper measures 2-1/4 x 3-7/8. I used my paper snips to fussy cut the coffee cups and the Stampin’ Cut n Emboss to crop the spoons. Just add three little brown gems and your card is ready to send. I really love the way the So Swirly embossing folder brings out the background of this card. I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot more if it in the future.

If you want to add this online exclusive bundle or any stamping supplies to you stash, please use the host code: 9JQJYZ69. You can apply the host code to your card before you go to the check out page. I so appreciate your business!

Stampin’ Up! is committed to bringing you new kit collections several times a year, so be sure to check back often and check on the online exclusive kits.

These kits are not featured in our regular catalogs as they are available while supplies last. Sometime there is a reorder of kits and sometimes not.

You can shop 24/7 through my online store, just click here or the Shop With Me button at the end of the post.

My paper pack is on the way and I cannot wait to get crafting with it. Stop back as I am sure you will be seeing a project or two using this paper pack in the very near future.

Peaceful Cabin in the Summertime!

Happy Birthday, Masculine Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos /

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Virginia Beach to stay with my mother -in-law, Connie, while my sister-in-law and her husband took a mini vacation to Cape May. Sorry no time to prepare a Weekly Wednesday video, but next week I will be back in full video swing. Up until the COVID lockdown, Connie was traveling between St. Louis to stay with us and Virginia Beach. Unfortunately she is no longer able to travel, so we visit as often as we can.

While sadly there is no video today, I am excited to share with you a Summertime scene using the Peaceful Cabin Bundle. This is perfect for a masculine birthday. I love creating cards with this bundle. It is in the July – December mini catalog, so if you want to add it to your stamping supplies, there is no time like the present.

Supplies

  • Garden Green CS- 5½ x 8½, (card base)
  • Basic White CS-4 x 5¼ (2)
  • Peaceful Cabin Bundle
  • Artistically Inked Stamp Set
  • Garden Green Ink
  • Soft Suede Ink
  • Early Espresso Ink
  • Blending Brushes
  • Balmy Blue Ink
  • Water Painters
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/Liquid Glue

Directions

  • Score card base in landscape position (aka longer side) at 4¼. Fold and burnish to create card.
  • Stamp cabin with Soft Suede ink on Basic White CS panel. Use the water painters to add color to the roof and ground.
  • Mask the cabin and stamp trees with Garden Green ink.
  • Again use the water painters to add a bit of Soft Suede beneath the trees.
  • Use the blending brushes to add a Garden Green lawn and a Balmy Blue Sky. Stamp clouds with Balmy Blue ink.
  • Stamp Happy Birthday greeting from Artistically Inked in Early Espresso or Memento Black ink.
  • Attach panel to card front.
  • Add 4 x 5 ¼ Basic White panel to the inside and decorate as desired.

I think the fall weather here in St. Louis is here to stay, so this may be my last summer time card, unless of course, we get an Indian Summer this year. I hope you will create something beautiful today and share it with others. Don’t forget to use the host code located on the right side panel of this post.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s October Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects center around Harvest & Hope, so prepare yourself for gratitude and love in Fall-themed projects. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Sorry no Weekly Wednesday video as I am taking care of my mother in law for a week or so and that means no time to film, but I am excited to share with you two cards for our blog hop today.

The first card was made by my friend Cherie who came to visit earlier this month. This is actually a card she made on our World Card Making Day Weekend. Cherie is super great at creating very intricate cards! Thanks Cherie! I will do my best to give you directions.

Supplies and Directions

Nature’s Harvest Bundle

Cherry Cobbler CS -4 x 5¼

Blending Brushes-Use brushes to apply Crumb Cake Ink over embossed images

The second card is a super simple Thanksgiving card that I created using the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper pack.

I began with a Cajun Craze card base and used Cajun Craze Ink for the Happy Thanksgiving greeting. The greeting is from the Banner Year stamp set. I am telling you this crazy little set is so stinkin’ versatile!

Well if you have not had a chance to order the Peaceful Cabin bundle, you are going to want to do that soon. It is the perfect bundle to create a quiet winter scene, but I am excited to share with you today’s video on how to create a fall and summer card using this bundle.

Summer and Fall with Peaceful Cabin Bundle


For most of my life, with an exception of a few years in California, I have lived in the Mid-West.

Wherever you live, the Peaceful Cabin is sure to bring you a changing of the seasons.

Wow, it is Wednesday already. Where does the time go. I think now that it is getting dark earlier, time seems to be going by quicker. Gone are the lazy days of summer, it is now time to think about the holiday seasons, after all there are only 80 days until Christmas.

Weekly WEdnesday #9

To be honest, I am still in the Halloween mode and totally enjoying my decorations. I was amazed today when I stopped by Sam’s all the Halloween decorations are gone and have been replaced with Christmas. I guess if you were waiting to buy that stinkin’ cute spider web, it is too late! Oh well.

Monday I posted a Halloween card and today, it is all about Christmas, but don’t worry, Halloween will be back next week.
