Oh my, I created this post last week and forgot to post it!  So instead of Christmas in July project two, I’m sharing Christmas in July 2024 Project One.  Project two will post next Tuesday with project three on the schedule for next Friday.

It’s Christmas in July!  Project one is a holiday card featuring the new Filled with Cheer Stamp Set.  The stamp set is a new Online Exclusive product from Stampin’ Up!  The snowman, sled and Christmas tree are perfect for sending holiday greetings.  These images along with images of gifts and poinsettias are perfect to color using a variety of coloring tools.  Do you notice the background paper?  It’s another new Online Exclusive so visit my store to see all the recently released products.  (note, Online Exclusives are not in a catalog but as the name implies only “online”)

Detailed Dogwood Vintage Card

Although the Sale-a-bration promotion ended in February and we’re closing out the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog from Stampin’ Up!, I’m still showing “some love” to Sale-a-bration products! This vintage style card features the beautiful Detailed Dogwood Stamp Set which was one of the free Sale-a-bration products. This card is one of four cards from the April card class. There just weren’t enough months to use the products and hey, we’ve earned them so we must use them. Right?! Hopefully, you were able to earn this stamp set and will find inspiration with this card design.

If you want to recreate this card, you’ll find the material measurements and an assembly video below.

Cut Dimensions:
  • Pebbled Path Cardstock: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ (score/fold at 4-1/4″ for card base)
  • Bubble Bath Cardstock: cut 2 at 4″ x 5-1/4″; scrap for stamping desired sentiment
  • Basic White Cardstock: cut 2 at 3-3/4″ x 5″
  • Thick Basic White Cardstock: 3-1/4″ x 4″ for stamping dogwood (or use regular Basic White)
  • Nature’s Sweetness Designer Series Paper: 3″ x 4″
ASSEMBLY VIDEO for the Detailed Dogwood Vintage Card

If you weren’t able to earn the stamp set, don’t fret – there are great floral options to use in place of the dogwood. Two great Online Exclusive options are the Simply Zinnia or Magnolia Mood Stamp Sets. So head off to your craft room and start creating! (LOL)

Perennial Lavender Book Fold Card

It’s been a month since last posting!  Where has time gone?  Even though I haven’t taken the time to post, it doesn’t mean that I’ve not been crafting.  Actually, I’ve been spending more time crafting than doing lots of other things.  So today, I decided it was “computer time” and I’ve been busy outlining my posts for the next few weeks.

Now on to today’s card!  It’s a book fold card featuring the Perennial Lavender Product Suite.  The product suite features two stamp/die bundles – Perennial Postage and Painted Lavender.  In addition, the suite features the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and two different embellishments.  For the February monthly card class, the cards all featured products from the suite.  In addition, word sentiments from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder was incorporated on several of the projects.  In the assembly video below, I also demonstrate how to use the hybrid embossing folder along with recreating the card.
