I love the way this Fence Fancy Fold card turned out. It is a Z-fold card with 3/4″ strips forming the Z part of the card. While it looks difficult, It really isn’t. The most difficult part is cutting and gluing the pieces of designer series paper. Here is another view of the card.

Collect the supplies listed below and then follow my video tutorial to make this card for yourself. The list contains the specific supplies I used but you can easily substitute whatever designer series paper you have on hand.

Easy Slider Gift Card

2025-05-03T03:44:04Z

This easy slider gift card holder can also hold a teabag or just be a fun greeting card. Depending of the designer series paper you use, it can be for a baby shower, bridal shower, everyday greeting card or a masculine card. While the cute little mouse would not be very masculine, adding a flower pot or gardening gloves would change it into a more masculine card. The fun part is when you open the card.

Sweet Days of Autumn Bundle

2024-11-12T04:05:34Z

The Sweet Days of Autumn Designer Series Paper can not only be purchased by itself but also as a Sweet Days of Autumn Bundle which includes a coordinating sticker sheet.

This Sweet Days of Autumn bundle is perfect for scrapbooking as it includes four double-sided sheets each of three combinations. There is one combination of the trees on one side and darling forest animals on the other. (Too bad the reverse of each pattern wasn’t a neutral pattern.) The stickers quickly add details to a scrapbook page.

One year we flew to Boston from Seattle to view the famous fall colors in New England. Unfortunately the day we flew in, there was a huge storm with lots of wind and all the red leaves blew off the trees. What a disappointment! However the low bush cranberry fields were still in glorious reds. I used the stickers on this simple page of some of the photos taken on this trip. I computer generated the ‘New England’ and my journaling.

However, the Sweet Days of Autumn bundle is useful for quick greeting cards. I made this card in about 5 minutes and I think you will be able to as well.

SUPPLIES USED

Copper Clay Cardstock [CS] (161721) 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored and folded at 4 1/4″
Basic Beige Cardstock [CS] (164511) 5 1/4″ x 4″ for inside of card
Sweet Days of Autumn Designer Series Paper [DSP] (166498) 5 1/4″ x 4″
Natural Tones Linen Thread (164071) about 36″
Sticker from Sweet Days of Autumn coordinating sticker sheet
Stampin’ Seal (152813)
Mini Glue Dots (103683)

INSTRUCTIONS

Fold Copper Clay CS in half for card base.
Adhere the DSP to card front with Stampin’ Seal
Apply the label from the sticker sheet
Fold the linen thread into thirds and tie a bow.
Use a mini glue dot to adhere to bow to the card front.
Stamp a greeting on the Basic White cardstock if desired and adhere to inside of card.

I love making little boxes and this Nests of Winter Diamond Box is one of the cutest boxes I have made. It measures about 2 3/4″ square by 2″ high and is the perfect size to hold a lovely big piece of chocolate. I made it using the beautiful Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper which is in the September – December mini catalog available September 3. i made the lid from Garden Green Cardstock. Unfortunatel, I can’t show you a picture of this dsp yet because I have cut up several of the pieces already.

Also included in the Nests of Winter Suite is the Winterly Tree Tops bundle. I love how the dies have a die for cutting out two different birds that are part of the stamp set but also cut out the birds of one of the designs in the dsp. Stampin’ Up! is offering more and more of this coordination so that if you are in a hurry or don’t like coloring, you can still use the images inyour creations. That is how I got the bird on the lid of the box.

Supplies

I sure will miss the funny Hey Chuck bundle. The Hey Chuck bundle works so well with the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle and the Hey Chick bundle that are already retired. The Hey Chuck stamp set has already sold out but the dies, Hey Chuck Dies (161552) are still available. If you have the stamp set but not the dies, snap them up now! They are on sale. These are my favorite cards using Hey Chuck.

I just checked my online store and only the dies of this bundle are still available. If you have the stamp set and did not get the dies, you NEED to get the dies right away! In three days they will be retired. On May 1, the only way you will be able to get them is on the secondary market. Click here to order them.

Making Space for the New

2024-03-23T04:01:48Z

Stam[in’ Up! is making space for the new products that are in the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. Some of the items are on sale at a good discount but most are at regular price. The important thing is that for even products that are being carried over into the new catalog, the bundle prices will be discontinued. You can see the Last Chance products for the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog here and for the Jan – April mini catalog here. Check them out and make a list of what you still want to buy. I really recommend you get the refill inks for the 2022-2024 In Color ink pads because they will sell out very quickly. After April 9 I recommend you check the availability of any item by going to my online store and placing your order there.

Price Increases

Like so many companies these days, Stampin’ Up! is having to raise the price of the cardstock, ink refills, Stampin’ Blends,and other staples. Now is the time to stock up on your favorites!

Making Space for the New Catalog

Yes, Stampin’ Up! is making space for the new, and the new is very exciting! I love the organization of the new catalog. Stampin’ Up! has identified three types of stampers. There are those who just want to ‘get it done’ step by step. The kits are especially great for them because everything except for a minimum of stamping is done in advance. There are even some kits where all you have to do is punch out embellishments and glue them down. And the art work of these kits is wonderful. The recipient of one of these cards would never guess that the card was that simple to make.

The second type of stamper is one who wants to make a card quick and easy. They need a card and they need it quickly without a lot of supplies or fussing. There is a section in the catalog with this type stamper in mind and all the supplies for quick and easy card making.

Stampin’ Up! is also making space fo the new products a stamper who wants creativity their way. These stampers want to have everything and try new techniques. They want to have endless options.

Which type stamper are you? I can help you with your stamping needs no matter how you like to stamp. Just contact me!

Beautiful Flight and Airy DSP

2023-11-25T17:00:45Z

Just look at this beautiful Flight and Airy DSP! It is gorgeous, so gorgeous! And it is free, yes, free when you purchase $50 of product during Sale-a-bration 2024! Here is the front side of the paper

and here is the reverside

Introducing the new Perennial Postage Bundle

One of the bundles in the upcoming Jan – April 2024 mini catalog is the Perennial Postage bundle. I chose this to order during the Product Purchase Premiere offered to those who attended OnStage at Home earlier this month because I love the mix of fonts and the greetings are useful in so many ways. The corresponding Perennial Postage dies include a variety of sizes of rectangles with the edges cut to simulate postage stamps. They also include two hole reinforcement dies and a postmark embossing piece. This piece does not cut , just embosses. Ink it by placing it on a stamp pad and then carefully putting it on your cardstock before running it through a die-cutting machine. Combined with this beautiful Flight and Airy dsp you will have a beautiful card in no time at all.

Cards Using the Beautiful Flight and Airy DSP

Now on to the cards I have made with this beautiful Flight and Airy DSP. Oh My! What beautiful cards you can create with it. This first card I used the largest two dies in the Perennial dies set for the backgrounds and the smallest one for the greeting. I colored the ribbon with the Dark Fresh Freesia blend. The greeting was stamped with Boho Blue ink.

My creativity was on a roll so I created another card using Pecan Pie cardstock as the base. This time I used the reverse of one of the designs for a 5 1/2″ x 2″ strip behind the birds. I used the small square Perennial Postage die to cut them out and used a Stampin’ Dimensional to pop them up. I colored the ribbon with dark Boho Blue blend. I wish I had used the light color instead. I stamped the greeting with Pecan Pie ink.

Which card do you like best? Leave a comment.

Have I piqued your interest in the upcoming spring mini and SAB? If you love this beautiful Flight and Airy DSP as much as I do, you will want to get your order in as soon as Sale-a-bration starts on January 4.

Last Chance Products Time

2023-11-22T16:59:31Z

Last Chance Products Time has come. It’s necessary to move out the old to make room for the new products coming in the Jan – April 2024 Mini Catalog. Now is the time to order those stamps, bundles, papers, and accessories you have been eyeing in the fall mini catalog. A few items are carrying over to next year but most will retire. Most importantly, even those stamps and dies that carry over into the next catalog sales period will no longer be bundled together. Now is the time to order the bundles and save 10%.

Since items will sell out quickly, the best policy is to shop now while there is still inventory. You can access the Carryover list here and the Last Chance items list here. Then go over to my online store to order. That way you will know if something is still available.

My Favorite Products are Going Away During Last Chance Products Time

Stars at Night Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies (162996)

Divine Night Bundle (161997)

and of course all the beautiful designer series papers in the catalog. The only one carrying over is the Winter Meadow Designer Series Paper (162133).

What is your favorite item from the catalog that is retiring during the Last Chance Products Time? Leave your answer in a comment below.

35% Off Starter Kit Special

2023-12-12T00:26:32Z

Stampin’ Up! is celebrating 35 years of business this month by offering a 35% Off Starter Kit Special. Yes! This is a very rare offer but it ends at midnight MDT on October 31. If you love Stampin’ Up! products like I do, you’ll want to join my team of demonstrators and start your own business.

I have been a demonstrator for 22 years and can’t imagine not being one. Here are some of my reasons:

Your time is flexible. You are allowed to spend as much time on your home-based business as you want as long as you meet the $300 minimum sales per quarter. There have been times when I had a lot of customers and times when I have been my best and almost only customer. Since I work part-time at another job, I don’t spend much time on my Stampin’ Up! home-based business and only make enough to cover some of my expenses. It is all up to you.
You get a discount. I do enjoy purchasing my products at a 25% discount and getting to purchase some of the products before the catalogs go live.
It’s like Christmas when a brown Stampin’ Up! box arrives. When my order of Stampin’ Up! products arrives, I feel like it is Christmas again. It is exciting to get new ‘toys’ to play with.
You make long-lasting friendships not only locally but even overseas. Although I don’t earn free trips and have to pay to go to On Stage Live, the three days spent with thousands of demonstrators, all excited to share with each other and to learn about new products, the event is a highlight for me. The second convention I went to was in Florida and I went by myself. While doing the Make And Takes, I met Ruthie Burkey, a demonstrator from Ft. Worth, TX. We chummed around together during the convention and in the years since have been roommates and best friends. I lived in Alaska at the time and would not have met Ruthie if it weren’t for being a demonstrator
It’s fun! I have fun while working and feeding my creative nature.

This 35% Off Starter Kit Special is only good for a week longer. Contact me, sue@soggystamper.com, to discuss how you can benefit from this special and from being on my team of demonstrators. You can also cl ick this link for more information. Don’t delay. If you love card-making and/or scrapbooking this is for you!
