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.

Take a look at the 4th video in my Stamparatus Technique Series. In this one, I demonstrate Wreath or Circle Stamping. You won't believe just how easy this technique is and what precise results you get! Watch. Enjoy. Give it a try. You'll be glad you did!

This card features a fun variation on wreath stamping above by using 2 colors. You can also you 2 or more images for your wreath as well for even more interest and depth to your wreath. The possibilities are endless.

From a simple from wreath above to a pretty Christmas wreath below. 

I used Evening Evergreen ink for my simple, but elegant holiday wreath.

Another Autumn wreath with Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, and Mossy Meadow inks.

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.

The ever so popular Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper is back in stock. This paper has been re-stocked several times because of its popularity and demand. It was back ordered for a while then went was not even available to order, but it's back now. Order your Gilded Autumn Specialty DSP now to make your autumn and Thanksgiving cards and paper crafts. This DSP and the entire Gilded Autumn Suite is GORGEOUS. Don't be fooled by its name, though, because it's not just for fall and Thanksgiving. Many of the DSP prints can be used for other occasions such as sympathy, thinking of you, support and encouragement cards. Many would be great to use for masculine cards. Nature lovers would appreciate the beautiful color combination and botanical prints and patterns. And of course, the Gilded Autumn products would make great birthday, thank you, congratulations, and retirement cards too. 

I hope you'll enjoy the following video demonstration in which I use the Gilded Autumn Suite to decorate Rectangle Tins to use as decorations, place cards, and treat favors all in one for my Thanksgiving table. These personalized gifts are such fun to make. Mine will be filled with candies, but I bet together we can come up with lots of things to put in these decorative tins.

I'm excited to make a few more of these Gilded Autumn Decorated Tins - one for each of my Thanksgiving guests. They'll look so pretty as place cards to decorate my Thanksgiving table.

TIP: Adhere Foil Paper to Foam Adhesive Sheets before die cutting Playful Alphabet Letters.

How about those darling copper Trinkets? Aren't they sweet?

I decorated the inside top and bottom of the tin before filling with treats.

Learn to make the Little Treats Box on the right below using this link: https://bit.ly/3jIjQwX.

Mix and match patterns and colors to make each person's tin unique.

Happy Stamping!

Embossing takes your handmade cards to an extraordinary level. Whether you emboss with embossing folders or embossing powders & heat tool, your cards are sure to impress. You can do both of these techniques on all sorts of papers including card stock, vellum, and foil paper. In the video demonstration below, I'll show you "dry" embossing with the Evergreen Forest 3-D Embossing Folder and "heat" embossing with Gold Embossing Powder and Heat Tool. Both of these techniques will help you create extraordinary cards.

The Evergreen Forest 3-D Embossing Folder with the Brass Foil Paper makes this card simple yet elegant.

The Brushed Metal Card Stock pack has 2 sheets each of the 3 colors used on this card. All 3 colors are gorgeous and work well with the Gold Cards & Envelopes.

There is such beautiful detail in the Evergreen Forest 3-D Embossing Folder.

I used both the embossing folder technique and heat embossing technique on these 2 cards.

The Banners Pick A Punch gives you 2 choices of how to punch banners with 1/2", 3/4", and 1" strips.

Thanks for visiting stampinpeace.com. I appreciate you and wish you bright days ahead.

Happy October! Today also marks the beginning of a brand new Stampin' Up! year. Through the course of 2020, I have challenged myself to learn and grow and try new things. I've taken some business training and participated in Stampin' Up! Leadership Summit. As I look ahead to the new year, I am excited. I'm encouraged. I'm motivated. I'm goal driven. I'm striving to better my best in all areas. I'm happy to be continuing on in my Stampin' Up! journey.

In my September 28, 2020, Make It with Mary Monday Facebook Live, I introduced one of the easiest card sketches ever. I love using this card sketch to show off Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers. The cards I made in the video below all feature the absolutely stunning Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. The fall prints, colors, and metallic accents make this one of my most favorite paper packs ever. I also used the Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set and coordinating punches in the 3 cards you'll see in my video and in the photos below. Enjoy this card making demonstration and consider the limitless possibilities when using Stampin' Up! Designer Series Papers with this easy card sketch. 

The card sketch used to make each of these Beautiful Autumn cards is perfect for showing off the many different prints in the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Early Espresso Faux Suede Trim and Gilded Gems work so well with the Gilded Autumn Suite products as seen on this card.

A few leaves stamped in Mint Macaron dress up the inside of this card nicely.

The following 2 cards use some of the prints with metallic accents that make the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper classy and elegant.

I embellished this card with leaves and acorns punched from Designer Series Paper with the Autumn Punch Pack and popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. The ribbon is one from the Forever Greenery Ribbon Combo Pack.

Layers I used on the inside of the card match the layers on the front of the card. 

A very similar card to the one above, this one uses a couple different papers, Cajun Craze ink, & a Mint Macaron ribbon.

 I love the basket weave detail and sheen of this Mint Macaron ribbon.

Cutting Dimensions:

• Card Base = 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" on long side, fold in half.
• DSP = 3 different pieces each measuring 1" x 4" and 1 piece measuring 2" x 4"
• 2 pieces of Foil Paper (or card stock) for front & inside = 3 1/2" x 2 3/4"

Please contact me at mknabe2008@gmail.com if you’d like to be inspired with creative ideas and participate in the fun of World Card Making Day.

*Sorry, SU! Demonstrators, but this event is for Stampin’ Up! customers only. If you’ve never purchased with me and would like to participate in this event, feel free to order at www.maryknabe.stampinup.net.

I'm truly grateful for you, my viewers, and wish you Happy Card Making today and always.

The Plaid Tidings 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper Pack is full of plaids of varying sizes and color combinations. This Designer Series Paper is so versatile and will keep you creating beautiful cards and paper crafts for holidays and special occasions all year long. In the following video demonstration, I show you a very easy 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder to make 3 unique cards. In addition to the Plaid Tidings DSP, I feature the lovely Borders Abound Stamp Set and Holiday Rhinestones. I think you'll enjoy the fall cards I've prepared and demonstrated in this video replay of my September 14th Facebook Live video replay.

Use the following photo for your cutting guide for this 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder.

I made these 3 fall cards with a 6" x 6" One Sheet Wonder design featuring Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper. This DSP pack is filled with fabulous plaids in an array of colors you can use throughout the entire year!

The stamped images on these cards are from the Borders Abound Stamp Set.

The new Banners Pick A Punch is a great tool for punching 2 different banner cuts on 1/2", 3/4", and 1" strips of card stock and Designer Series Paper.

Linen Thread and Holiday Rhinestones are wonderful embellishments to dress up these fall cards.

The card stock sizes on the inside of the first & third cards match the card stock layers on the front of the cards and sure do dress up the inside of the cards.

Autumn is just around the corner. As I look forward to the changing colors of the fall leaves here in Ohio, I am reminded that with change comes beauty, and like the leaves on our trees, sometimes it is ok to let go. 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
