New Product Preview-Cheerful Daisies

May 1, 2023May 1, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

I finally had some time to sit down yesterday to make my first card with brand new products from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog that goes “live” tomorrow! I used the Cheerful Daisies bundle and the coordinating Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper, along with three new colors: Moody Mauve, Bubble Bath and Wild Wheat. I’ve been wishing for a light pink and Bubble Bath is a new color that has been added to the Subtles Collection. I’m loving it! The layout for this card is one that has been my “go to” for many years because it works really well to show off both Designer Series Papers, stamps and dies.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Moody Mauve cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut two pieces of Bubble Bath cardstock, one at 4 1/8″ square and one at 3 1/4″ x 4″. Cut a piece of Fresh as a Daisy DSP at 4″ and adhere to the square piece of Bubble Bath cardstock.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 3 1/8″ x 3 7/8″. Stamp birthday greeting in lower right corner with Moody Mauve ink.
Cut another piece of Basic White cardstock to stamp the flowers and leaves. Cheerful Daisies is a two-step stamp set. Stamp the largest daisy image outline stamp with Moody Mauve ink. Stamp the fill-in with Bubble Bath ink. Stamp the smaller daisy outline stamp twice with Bubble Bath ink. Stamp flower centers with Wild Wheat ink. Stamp five single leaves with Wild Wheat ink. Run all images through Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with coordinating Cheerful Daisies dies.

Adhere the large daisy to the smaller Basic White cardstock piece with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the two smaller daisies with either mini glue dots or liquid glue, tucking them under the larger daisy. Arrange leaves around the three flowers and adhere with mini glue dots. Adhere piece to the smaller piece of Bubble Bath cardstock.
Cut a length of Moody Mauve 3/8″ Textured Ribbon and tie in a knot around the piece with the DSP. Trim the tails. Adhere piece to card base. Adhere the piece with the stamped images to the DSP piece.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp the small triple daisy image in the lower left corner with Moody Mauve ink and color in the centers of the flowers with the Wild Wheat Stampin’ Write Marker. Adhere to inside of card.

I am unable to link to the new products until tomorrow. Here are the products, item numbers and prices.

Cheerful Daisies Bundle – Item #161297 $53.00
Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper – Item # 161289 $12.50

Last Chance Products

April 14, 2023April 14, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

I’ve been AWOL for the last few weeks and am finally able to catch up with Stampin’ Up! news! The last two months have been crazy time for me. I’ve been busy with in in-person card making classes, taking care of getting several income tax returns ready for my accountants, working on a huge client project that picks up steam in March and April, and finally, taking a short vacation from the end of March into early April. I spent several days in one of my favorite cities – New Orleans, visiting with my dearest friends from my college days of 50 years ago! They have a lovely second home in the Garden District. This is the fourth time I’ve been to NOLA in the last 30 years. We visited the World War ll Museum, Oak Alley Plantation, did a swamp tour through the Jean Lafitte National Park, where we saw many alligators – oh my! Also visited City Park’s beautiful outdoor sculpture garden, strolled down Magazine Street and had meals at some fabulous restaurants. And of course, no visit to NOLA would be complete without a stop at Cafe Du Monde for the beignets!

Since I’m late in posting this, by now you probably know that the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog are retiring on May 1st and the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog will go live on May 2nd. Click on the catalog covers below to view the retiring lists for both catalogs. There discounts on many of the products. Since this is a year for a color rrefresh, most of the inks, reinkers, cardstock, etc. for those retiring colors have already sold out and are now discontinued. My next blog post will have all the information you need about the new, returning and retiring colors. The Stamparatus is now discontinued. Several of my favorite, most heavily used die sets are retiring and as of now, are still available while supplies last – Layering Circles, Stitched Rectangles, Diorama Dies. One other thing to note as you look at the lists. A number of bundles will be retiring and will not be carrying over to the new catalog. However, a number of stamp sets and dies that were in bundles will carry over and will be sold separately, without the 10% discount. So if you have any bundles on your wish list that are retiring you might want to consider purchasing them now.

Here is the cover of the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. Stampin’ Up! demonstrators are not allowed to show the inside of the catalog until it goes live, so this is all you can see for now! The cover shows some new colors – so pretty!! If you are one of my customers and have placed orders with me in the last year you will receive a catalog in the mail from me in the next week or two. If you do not have a demonstrator and would like a catalog please feel free to contact me. I’d be happy to be your demonstrator!

Abigail Rose Suite Cards

January 16, 2023January 16, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today I have two cards for you, both using the lovey Abigail Rose Suite in the annual catalog. Sadly, I’ve had to make four sympathy cards between Christmas and New Year’s Day. For some reason, I never seem to get around to using this suite so I decided to finally break it open. While I was at it, I needed to make a birthday card for a friend so made two cards with the suite as well.

Here is how I made this sympathy card.

Card base – Cut a piece of Petal Pink cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of the Petal Pink stripe paper from the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper at 4″ x5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
Cut a piece of DSP with the script on the Early Espresso background at 2 7/8″ x 4 3/8″. Lightly color in the flowers with the light and dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. Color the stems with the light Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blend. Adhere to a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock cut at at 3″ x 4 1/2″.
Cut a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock at 1 3/4″ x 3″. Stamp sympathy greeting from the Something Fancy stamp set from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog with Early Espresso ink. Run through die cutting machine with a label from the Something Fancy Dies.
Cut a piece of Natural 1/2″ Woven Ribbon at 12″. Wrap around tulip piece and tie in a knot on the left side. The ribbon is from the now-retired July-December 2022 Holiday Catalog. If you don’t have this ribbon you can substitute it with something else in your stash. Adhere greeting over the ribbon. Adhere the tulip piece to front of card.

Here is how I made this birthday card.

Cut a piece of Early Espresso cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of Abigail Rose DSP at 3 3/4″ x 5 and run through die cutting machine with the next to largest Deckled Rectangle Die. Adhere at a slight angle to card front.
Cut a piece of the DSP that looks like a notebook page at 3 1/4″ x 4 3/4″ and run through die cutting machine with the third largest Deckled Rectangle Die. Adhere at an opposite angle to the first piece of DSP.
Cut a 3 1/2″ square of Very Vanilla cardstock. Stamp floral image from the Cottage Rose stamp set with Memento Black ink. Color the large flower with light and dark So Saffron Stampin’ Blends. Color the center of the flower with dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend. Add Wink of Stella to the center. Color the leaves with light and dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. Color the tiny flowers with light Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend.
Run piece through die cutting machine with coordinating Cottage Flowers Dies. Adhere to card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Peaceful Deer Card

November 22, 2022November 22, 2022 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s card features the Peaceful Deer stamp set and coordinating Deer Builder Punch. The stamp set and punch were introduced as a bundle in the 2021 Holiday Mini Catalog and I didn’t purchase it at the time. I was happy to see that it carried over into the current Annual Catalog so I was able to purchase it this year. It is such a nice stamp set, filled with lovely images, and yes, you can create many peaceful scenes with these stamps. We made this card in the Christmas card classes I held last week.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Evening Evergreen cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut one piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock and one piece of Old Olive cardstock at 2 1/2″. Cut strips from two different pieces of the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper at 2 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ and adhere to the cardstock pieces. Adhere to card front.

Stamp deer with Crumb Cake ink on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. Punch out with Deer Builder punch.
Cut a 3″ square piece of Basic White cardstock and run through die cutting machine with the third largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies. Stamp ground with Soft Suede ink. Stamp two of the smallest trees with Mossy Meadow ink, stamping off before stamping onto the cardstock. Stamp the stars with Smoky Slate ink. Cut a 3 1/4″ square of Evening Evergreen cardstock and run through die cutting machine with the second largest circle from the Layering Circles Dies and adhere to stamped piece.
Adhere circle to card front. Adhere deer to the top of the circle with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a few gold Festive Pearls for a bit of bling. Add shine to the deer, trees and stars with Wink of Stella.

Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp ground twice with Soft Suede ink. Stamp the second largest tree at bottom left with Mossy Meadow ink, stamping off before stamping onto the cardstock. Stamp greeting from the Brightest Glow stamp set with Evening Evergreen ink. Adhere to inside of card.

Here are a few pictures from the three classes I held. several people were MIA when I took the photos!

Forever Fern Fun Fold Card

October 24, 2022October 24, 2022 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s cards feature the Forever Fern stamp set and coordinating Forever Flourishing Dies, along with the Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper. I recently attended Stampapalooza, an online stamping retreat. One of the activities was a mystery project, where a series of clues were posted that included supplies needed, cutting and scoring dimensions, etc. I had an unopened package of Pretty Prints DSP waiting to be used, and once I decided on the DSP, the rest of the card quickly fell into place! I immediately thought that the Forever Fern stamp set and Fern 3D Embossing Folder would look great with the paper. The first card I made used Evening Evergreen as the main color and later on I went back and made two other cards with Blackberry Bliss and Bermuda Bay. Give this fun fold a try. It is easy to make and is also a great way to showcase DSP and coordinating stamps! I made a few Halloween cards using this fold too.

Here is how I made the cards,

Card base – cut a piece of cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″. Score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder. Cut off a 1 1/2″ piece from the front side of the cardstock and trim it down to 1 1/2″ x 5 1/4″.
Cut a piece of DSP at 2 3/8″ x 5 3/8″ and adhere to card front.
Run 1 1/2″ strip through a die cutting & embossing machine with the Fern 3D Embossing folder.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Adhere the embossed piece to the right edge. Stamp one of the fern images from the stamp set at bottom left.
Cut a piece of cardstock at 3 1/2″ x 3″ and score at 1/2″ with the long side at the top of your trimmer. Fold on score line and give a sharp crease with a bone folder. Run a line of liquid glue or adhesive along the 1/2″ side. Center this piece in the middle of the Basic White cardstock piece and adhere. Adhere the entire piece to the inside of the card.

Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 3/4″ square. On a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock, stamp one of the fern images and run through die cutting and embossing machine with the coordinating die. Adhere to Basic White square piece at an angle. Stamp the speckled image several times around the fern. Stamp “hello” at bottom right. Adhere to front flap. Embellish with a few rhinestones.

Colors used for this card: Cardstock: Evening Evergreen for card base, Soft Succulent for fun fold flap; Ink: Evening Evergreen for greeting, Soft Succulent for ferns, Soft Sea Foam for the speckles

Colors used for this card: Cardstock: Bermuda Bay for card base, Coastal Cabana for fun fold flap; Ink: Evening Evergreen for greeting, Coastal Cabana for ferns, Pool Party for the speckles.

Colors used for this card: Cardstock: Blackberry Bliss for card base, Rich Razzleberry for fun fold flap; Ink: Blackberry Bliss for greeting, Rich Razzleberry for ferns, Fresh Freesia for the speckles.
