New Rewards Program Coming! New Kits Added to Collection

April 14, 2025April 14, 2025 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

It’s been awhile since my last post. Every year I have to put my stamping business on hold in March and most of April, except for doing my monthly classes. I’m the administrator on the Business Development Team for a large nonprofit business organization. Every April we hold a luncheon, with over 200 business people in attendance to celebrate five local businesses that have had major achievements in their businesses. It takes a lot of planning to pull off the event. The last few weeks get crazy busy so I will look forward to coming up for air after the luncheon takes place this Thursday! I’m anxious to get back to stamping on a regular basis again!

The Stampin’ Up! online store will be offline tomorrow, beginning at 8:00am MT for approximately six hours. They are in the final phase of unifiying all of their various online platforms into one digital platform. In addition, the new Stampin’ Rewards program will take effect once the store is back online. No orders can be placed during this time.

With the new Stampin’ Rewards program you will automatically earn 10 percent in Stampin’ Rewards with all orders of $20 or more! You have to opt in to begin receiving the rewards. If you already have an online account, just log in and you will get a prompt to opt in. If you do not currently have an online account, you can create one. Rewards are good for 12 months. You can redeem some or all of your rewards on future orders. Make sure that every time you place an order that you are logged into your account so that you don’t miss out on earning rewards.

Please note that the host code program has been discontinued.

Hearts of Elegance Fun Fold Card

February 13, 2025February 12, 2025 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s card is another card featuring the Marbled Elegance Suite. This is another one of the cards we made in my Valentine’s Day cardmaking class a few weeks ago. It is an easy to do fun fold.

Here is how I made the card.

Cut a piece of Melon Mambo cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and score at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″. Fold at the 4 1/4″ score line. Fold back on the 2 1/8″ score line.
Cut another piece of Melon Mambo cardstock at 2 1/2″ x 5″ and score at 2 1/2″. Fold in half.
Cut three strips of Marbled Elegance DSP at 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″. Adhere one piece to the front flap. Adhere the two remaining strips to the 4 1/4″ side of the card, leaving a space between the two pieces.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 1 7/8″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp the greeting and heart pattern from the Hearts of Elegance stamp set with Melon Mambo ink. Adhere to the inside of the front fold.

Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″. Stamp greeting with Melon Mambo ink and adhere to inside of smaller card.
Cut a piece of Bubble Bath cardstock at 2 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ and adhere to front of smaller card. Cut a piece of Gold Foil paper at 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″. Run through die cutting and embossing machine with the filligree patterned solid die from the Hearts of Elegance Dies. Run a scrap piece of Melon Mambo cardstock through the die cutting machine with the smallest solid die. Adhere the gold heart to the front of the smaller card. Adhere the Melon Mambo heart over the bottom right side of the gold heart.

To adhere the smaller card to the larger card, adhere three Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the smaller card on the right hand side. Fold the larger card, line up and center the smaller card to the larger card front. Adhere the smaller card to the right side of the card. Pull on the folded front of the larger card to open it up and to close it, tuck it back under the left side of the smaller card.
Embellish with a few of the Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins. Cut a length of Gold Twisted Thread and tie in a small bow. Adhere with a glue dot.

Hearts of Elegance Heart Shaped Card

January 29, 2025January 29, 2025 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

It’s been a very long time since I posted any cards on my blog. I hope to start posting more regularly, starting today, with this heart shaped card. It is one of four cards we made in my Valentine’s Day class last week. I will be posting two other cards in the coming days. This card uses products from the beautiful Marbled Elegance Suite, which is an online exclusive.

Here is how I made the card.

Cut a piece of Real Red cardstock at 5″ x 9″. Score at 4 1/2″. With the largest heart from the Hearts of Elegance Dies, place the top of the die at the fold so that the tops of the hearts are slightly above the fold line. Tape the die down to hold it in place so it doesn’t shift. Run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. You should end up with both hearts attached at the top.

Front of card

Cut a piece of Marbled Elegance DSP at 5″ x 5″. Run through machine with the largest heart die. Adhere to front of the card.
Run a small piece of Gold Foil paper through the machine with the smallest heart.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 1 1/2″ x 4″. Run through machine with the largest banner from the Stylish Shapes dies. Emboss the greeting with the WOW! Metallic Gold embossing powder. Stamp the greeting closer to the right side of the banner, as you might need to trim the other end down when adhering all of the elements to the front of the card. To emboss, first stamp the greeting with Versamark ink and then heat with the heat embossing tool.
Stamp two flowers from the Hearts of Elegance stamp set with Real Red ink. Stamp two leaves with Wild Wheat ink. Run through machine with coordinating dies. Reserve one of the flowers and leaves for the inside of the card.
To put the front of the card together, first, place all of the elements on the front. If the left side of greeting banner sticks out past the elements, trim a small piece off the side and then adhere. Arrange the heart, flower and leaf and adhere.

Inside of Card

Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ and run through machine with the second largest heart die. It is the solid one with tiny dots around the edge.
Adhere the remaining die cut flower and leaf to the heart. Stamp the greeting with Real Red Ink.
Adhere heart to inside of card.

Add some bling to the front of the card with the adorable Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins. Place the largest heart sequin on the greeting banner and add a few more around the card. These sequins are very thin so you can add a few to the inside of the card as well, without adding any bulk.

Thanks for stopping by today!
