Typically, we choose to use embossing folders to create backgrounds on our cards. In this card making demonstration, I show you how to make your embossed card stock the focal point of your cards and how fun it is to mix and match with embossing folders for a unique look. I hope you enjoy this video replay of my September 21st Facebook Live, and then will pull out your embossing folders and put these techniques to use.

I used the wonderful Watercolor Pencils to color the sketched images of the Stylish Sketches Stamp Set. And did you know the Stylish Sketches Stamp Set can be yours FREE when you place a $50 Stampin' Up! order? Yes, it's true! But don't wait too long. Our Summer Sale-A-Bration promotion ends August 31st and all Sale-A-Bration products are available while supplies last only.

I'm so grateful to Susi for inviting me to share the OnStage@Home event with her and to enjoy a few extra days with her and her husband. No doubt, I'll be enjoying the Florida sunshine and warmth. I always have fun with Susi and Denny and appreciate them always making me feel like "a friend whose become family". I'm blessed and grateful.

I have a really neat Fun Fold to share in today's post. The Side Step Fun Fold Card is one I don't think I've ever demonstrated before, but am happy to share it with you now. Watch my video for all the cutting & scoring dimensions, stamping tips, for this super fun fold card featuring the Blackberry Beauty Suite in Stampin' Up!'s 2021 Holiday Mini Catalog. Then give it a try. You'll have fun and the recipient of your Side Step Fun Fold Card will be in awe of your beautiful work. 

Once you've viewed this following video, be sure to keep scrolling as this post is jam-packed with another video and lots of Stampin' Up! news.

The first 3 photos below show my sample Side Step Fun Fold Card featuring the Beauty of Tomorrow Bundle and Blackberry Beauty Designer Series Paper. I think it's beautiful. The sentiment is so meaningful too.

Below are 3 views of the Side Step Fun Fold Card I made during my Facebook Live. As you can see, it is a bit different than myself with the addition of another stamped bouquet, different placement of the bird, and embellished with Gilded Gems.

Cutting & Scoring Directions:

• Card Base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
• Place 5 1/2" end of card stock at top of Paper Trimmer and left side at 2 3/4". Now cut from 1-1/4" to 6- 1/8" using the ruler on the bar of the trimmer.
• Turn card stock to horizontal/landscape position. Score at 1-1/4", 2", 3-1/8" and 6-1/8" just down to the cut line.
• Leaving card stock in same position, score at 4 1/4" across the entire width of the card stock.
• DSP = 5 1/4" x 4"
• Place 4" side at top of Paper Trimmer and left side at 3". Cut down to the 2 3/4" mark.
• Turn DSP to horizontal/landscape position with cut flap at bottom and left side at 2 1/2" mark. Cut down just to the first cut line. 
• Adhere large piece of DSP to card front.
• Cut small piece of DSP into 2 pieces, 2 1/2" x 7/8" and 2 1/2" x 1 3/4". Adhere to "front" of the middle and back "step".

What a great family activity or gift for yourself or a friend. These treat packages are a great way to give gift cards or treats for teachers, co-worker, classmates, bible study groups, neighbors, seniors, and more!

It's always fun learning new techniques. I was inspired to demonstrate the Torn Paper Technique with you all after seeing my friend Marti Blair do it. I love it. It's easy and fun and really packs a punch to a simple card. I chose fall colors to use with the Gorgeous Leaves Stamp Set for this video tutorial. I hope you'll give this technique a try and share what you make using it.

Happy Fall, Y'all!

Have I got a fabulous demonstration for you! Autumn is upon us and this card making demonstration is a wonderful reflection of this beautiful season. In this video, I demonstrate an easy  Fun Fold card plus show you 2 different techniques to add a "wow factor" to you cards and paper crafts. I think you're going to love this card and the tips for using Gilded Leafing and Clear Embossing Powder to embellish your beautiful cards and make them stunning!

Cutting Dimensions:

• Early Espresso card base = 5 1/2" x 7 1/4", score & fold at 4 1/4" on long side. Small flap will be card front.
• Very Vanilla inside = 5 1/4" x 4"
• Designer Series Paper = 5 1/4" x 1 3/4" and 5 1/4" x 1"
• Early Espresso card stock layer = 3 1/2" x 2 1/2"
• Very Vanilla card stock for stamping = 3 1/4" x 2 1/4"

This card made by my friend and Stampin' Up! upline, Susi Brunk, is what I CASE'd to create my own cards above.

Did you know you can get the Gorgeous Leaves Bundle FREE?

It's true. When you join my Stampin' Up! community through September 30th, you can choose a Bundle from our Holiday Mini Catalog absolutely FREE. Click on the following link to see all 12 bundle options:  Download FLYER_SAB_JOIN_NA. 

Now, let's do the math to see your saving when you purchase a Starter Kit. Our Starter Kit is completely 100% customizable and includes $125 in product of your choice! You pay just $99 + sales tax and it all ships to you FREE. So for approximately $107.50 (based on 7.5% sales tax where I live), you'd get $125 chosen by you PLUS a FREE BUNDLE from the Holiday Mini Catalog for an additional savings of $31.50 - $60.25 (depending on the free bundle you choose). WOW!

How much would that all cost you if you don't purchase the Starter Kit??? $125 product cost + $12.50 shipping + $10.31 sales tax (based on 7.5%) for a total of $147.81. That's a HUGE difference, and the total doesn't even include the cost of the additional Bundle that is free for those who join my team. 

So if you love stamping and paper crafting and have a long wish list, why not consider getting the most you can for your money now? Please know that I welcome anyone and everyone to my Merry Stampers Team of 60+ demonstrators. My team includes business builders as well as "happy discount shoppers".

I've been making a few Wine Bottle Tags for holiday gift giving. Below are ones for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I used the Gilded Autumn Suite and a sheet from World Of Good Specialty Designer Series Paper for my Thanksgiving Wine Bottle Tag. The Christmas one was made with products in my October Paper Pumpkin Kit, Joy to the World. I always love to make a few alternate projects with my Paper Pumpkin Kits. 

Each Wine Bottle Tag starts with  4" x 12" piece of Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper or card stock. I score 3 1/2" from the top and fold gently. I punch a 1 1/2" circle to hang the tag. To create the "ring" that goes around the hole, punch a 1 1/2" circle in center of 2 1/4" square of coordinating paper. Then punch with 2" Circle Punch centering the hole in the 2" circle opening to and punch to get the ring.
