  Sometimes you stumble upon a great idea. That's how I would describe how I came upon this idea for a Z-fold card with a gift card pocket hidden inside.  And, if you are going to share this great idea why not use new products! So, I pulled out the Penguin Place Bundle. It'll be available beginning August 3rd for everyone to order, but Stampin' Up! Demonstrators have been able to purchase it since the beginning of July. Just one of the many perks of being a demonstrator! (Did you know you can add Demonstrator only pre-order items to a starter kit?) Here are the measurements for this fun card: Misty Moonlight cardstock: 4-1/4"x11", scored horizontally at 2-3/4" & 5-1/2" Fresh Freesia cardstock: 3-1/4"x3-1/2" Basic White cardstock: 3"x3-1/4" (2 pieces, one for the front & one for the inside) Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper (this is a Sale-a-Bration item available with a $50 order before shipping & tax): 3 different p...

D elicate and yet bold colors bring out the beauty of this otherwise black and white card! Have you seen the Hand Penned Petals stamp set and coordinating die set (available as a bundle at 10% off by the way) in the new Annual Catalog? It is gorgeous! And, it's a two-step stamp set. What exactly is a two-step stamp set you ask? Well, its a stamp set, that you use more than one stamp to complete a stamped image.  With the Handpenned Petals, that means a overall outline image, that can be colored in using smaller parts and pieces (flowers and leaves). Quick and easy! The coordinating designer series paper (Hand-Penned #155499) is a pastel gorgeous assortment of coordinating papers. However, I wanted to shake it up a bit with some bold colors! Measurements: Basic Black cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4" horizontally; 2-3/4"x3" for the layer Basic White cardstock: 2-5/8"x2-7/8"; 3/4"x2-1/4" (for the greeting); 4:x5-1/4" (for ...

Each month I make and send thank-you notes for anyone who places an order through me. Because the stamp club ladies decided to use the Sweet as a Peach bundle for the projects we made this past couple months, I decided to make one more thank-you card using this suite of products too. The Stampin' Up! promotion for July is 15% off select designer series papers. So, since this adorable You're a Peach designer series paper is among those papers on sale, I wanted to showcase both sides of the paper. What better layout to use than a drapery pull-back card. While playing with the layout, I came up with what I think is an ingenious tip for scoring the paper at just the right place. I hope you'll check out the video tutorial, and then of course, make some yourself! Measurements: Basic White Note Cards & Envelopes (you get 20 of each) Calypso Coral cardstock: 3-1/2" x 5" You're a Peach designer series paper: 3-3/8" x 4-7/8" Scraps of Basic White cardstock...

  At the June meeting of my LittleINKers team, we made the most adorable gift card holder during the mystery stamping portion of the meeting. Jen Wade, one of my team members was responsible for that portion of the meeting. She used an idea originally shared by demonstrator, Ronda Wade. Here is the card I made during our mystery card time: It's super-cute with the colorful ribbon and adorable tag tied to the bow. However, not as mail-friendly! The belly-band seemed the perfect choice.  Here are the measurements for this fun card: Pansy Patch DSP (or whatever DSP you choose): 6"x12"; additional pieces for decorating (I cut a pansy from the same paper); 1" x 12" for belly-band Fresh Freesia cardstock: 5"x8" Basic White cardstock: scraps to cut tag large enough for greeting; cut using Tasteful Labels die Be sure to watch the video below for tips on how to put this simple and fun card together. Perfect for all those gift-card-giving occasions. Thanks for ...
