#SU! Perched In A Tree Card

 When the new 2022 July-December Mini Catalog from Stampin' Up! came out, I was instantly drawn to the Perched In A Tree bundle. I seem to be always drawn to the bird sets because my mom was so fond of birds. However, it was also because of the gorgeous die set that accompanies it. I can see so many uses for that aspen/birch die.




I participate in a fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator's team swaps each month, Kathy Howes of Be Creative with Kathy, and this was my swap back in June.

Here is the video I put together showing how I put this card together. I hope you'll check it out:

#SU! Z-Fold Hippest Hippos Card

The Z-Fold is by far my favorite fun fold to make. It's easy, and uses basic measurements and supplies! It also fits well into a regular-size envelope requiring no extra postage. A win-win in my book!


The Hippest Hippos Stamp set (see below) is a great set that is available while supplies last with any $50 purchase (before shipping & tax) of Stampin' Up! products between July 1 and August 31st. 


The Hippo Die set (seen below) coordinates with the Hippest Hippos stamp set, that is also available while supplies last with any $50 purchase (before shipping & tax) of Stampin' Up! products between July 1 and August 31st. Don't wait to get your own!





In addition to the Hippest Hippos and Hippo Dies, I also used the Scallop Contour Dies:

#SU! Simple Trees 4 Sale Card


When I first saw the new 2022 July-December Mini Catalog, I instantly was drawn to the Trees For Sale stamp set as well as the coordinating dies, Tree Lot Dies from the July-August Sale-a-Bration brochure. I've seen quite a few samples made that use a lot of the coordinating dies, but not so many using mostly the stamp set. 


The soft color palette of Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen pair well with the softer red of Poppy Parade. A subtle background seemed appropriate, so adding the Whimsical Woodland 3D folder works well.


I thought a decorated tree on the inside also worked well. 

Here are the measurements for the card:

Basic White Thick: 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" & scored @ 4-1/4" 
Basic White: 2-5/8" x 4" (2); 5/8" x 3-3/4"
Soft Succulent: 4" x 5-1/4"
Poppy Parade: 2-3/4" x 4-1/8"
Crumb Cake: 1" x 1-1/2"

All the products used can be found at the end of this post. If you don't already have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, you can just click on the images for the products you want and you'll be taken directly to my Stampin' Up! online store to order.

Hope you'll watch my video where I show tips of how to assemble as well as an additional stepped-up card:
