Let’s get crafty! Take some time this week to CASE—Copy And Share Everything. Not sure how? We can show you!

For our Alles Gute im neuen Lebensjahr für dich card we CASEd the layout by stamping out a multicolored card base. We then used Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder to heat emboss the flower image on Vellum and die cut those flowers. Using Pool Party Cardstock and Distressed Gold Specialty Paper, we die cut more flowers and leaves to add some pop. After adding some twine and ribbon, and we finished it off with a sentiment and some Opal Rounds.

We loved the color combination for our Feel Better card so much that we decided to copy it in our Un message d’amitié inalterable card. First, we inked the flower image in Blushing Bride, and used a sponge dauber to add Polished Pink directly to the stamp. Next, we stamped out the flower centers and some leaves in Soft Succulent. We used Mint Macaron to stamp out the solid bottle image and Evening Evergreen to stamp out the shadow image. We added one more dash of color using Crumb Cake Cardstock for the sentiment.

For our Thanks card we CASEd the technique by using Masking Paper to color different shapes on the card background. We did this by die cutting different sizes of hexagons from Masking Paper. Starting with the largest hexagon, we placed the die-cut Masking Paper on the Basic White Cardstock, then applied ink with a Blending Brush. We repeated this with the other sizes of hexagons.

This week, try putting aside time to preserve your memories with some beautiful scrapbook pages. We had fun preserving memories and friendships with the Heart & Home Memories & More Card Pack—and we are so excited to see what projects you create!

For our scrapbook pages, we kept everything simple and didn’t do any stamping—sometimes less is more, and we loved the way it turned out! We arranged the cards into their own pockets and added a few stickers. We then used the Garden Green Stampin’ Write Marker to write a few words and popped up the bees with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For the card, we colored the floral arrangement by squeezing drops of ink from ink refills into a stamp pad lid and using a Water Painter to color the image. We used Calypso Coral, Fresh Freesia, Old Olive, and So Saffron, and we loved the different hues of color we were able to create with the water. We finished the card with a simple embossed sentiment and a few embellishments, including some 2021–2023 In Color Jewels to coordinate with the colors in the floral image.

Thank You Card (4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″) (10.8 x 14 cm)

CASUAL As one of the sentiments in the Pansy Patch Stamp Set says, “The little things you do make a big difference.” That can be true in life—and when sitting down to create a fabulous card for someone special. All the little details and love put into making your card can add up to one big hug that will make someone’s day!

To begin creating our lovely Besten Dank Pansy Patch step-ups, start simple. Fold Polished Pink Cardstock in half; add a layer of stamped Basic White Cardstock to the card front, then layer with just a few die-cut images. Notice that our artist used a Blending Brush to add subtle shading to the die-cut pansy bud. Easy to do. Fast. Fun!

AVID We stepped up our Thank You card with tone-on-tone stamping and pops of gold for extra pizzazz. We also used a Bone Folder to curl the flower petals and give them extra dimension.

ARTFULLY AVID To create our Mille mercis card, apply Granny Apple Green ink to the Basic White Cardstock layer using a Blending Brush, then run it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. Also, did you notice the pretty Baker’s Twine? We colored it with Flirty Flamingo Stampin’ Blends to make it really stand out!

The Paper Fashion show is back next week. March 10, 2022 at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver. Get your tickets here.

V and A Creations will be one of the design teams, yay! “V” is designing and making the paper dress and “A” will be the model for the fashion!

This is a sample of the colors used for our dress.

You can tell I’ve added some paint, shimmer and sparkle to the paper.

Our portion of the theme is “dark” not by choice but it was given as a challenge to become half of the idea of…

CHIAROSCURO, this is the description for the event from the PaperFashionshow.com website – By definition, it is bold contrasts of light and dark that builds a composition. Opposites working in harmony to create something the other couldn’t do alone. One cannot be defined without the other, but it is more than one being the absence of the other.  It is conflict and it is balance. It is creation and it is nothingness. It is ignorance and it is knowledge. It is discovery and it is mystery.It is fear and it is safety. Where will you find yourself, in the light or in the dark?

Designers, your challenge is to develop half of the composition, find your light or embrace your darkness. Teams will register to design for the light or design for the dark. Once you’ve chosen your aspect, how will you define it? How will you blend haute couture fashion with fantasy and imagination to bring out the light or to embrace the dark?  Together with the other designers we will create CHIAROSCURO.

This week, put away your embellishments and pull out your FREE Island Vibes Stamp Set only until Feb 28—it’s time for some simple stamping!

For our Thanks card, we stamped out the pineapple in Soft Suede ink on Crumb Cake cardstock. We used the Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Watercolor Pencils to fill in the pineapple and the leaves, then deepened the shadows and added depth with the Basic Gray Watercolor Pencil. The coloring may look intricate, but it’s so easy when you use the stamp as your guide for shading! Finally, we added a simple sentiment and voilà—a simple card for any occasion!

We used the marker-to-stamp technique to make our Diese Karte beweist: Du bist grandios card. To do this, we colored the plant with the Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Write Marker, the pot with the Real Red marker, and then stamped! We repeated the process using the Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight markers. We then punched out the potted plants with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. So simple, but so cute!

To make our Je ne voulais pas attendre une occasion spéciale card, we used the stamping off technique. To do this, we stamped the leaves in Calypso Coral ink, then stamped above it without re-inking our stamp. We repeated this with the Daffodil Delight ink, resulting in a colorful pattern. To finish, we added our sentiment and a Baker’s Twine bow for texture.

If it’s been a while, try stamping simply and see what you can come up with!

If you’re a crafter, you could certainly spend a pleasant hour mixing and matching papers, embellishments, and stamped images until you come up with a serendipitous combination of colors and textures. Chances are you’ll whip up more than one design that would lend itself to a pretty card front or 3D project.

Today’s projects were the product of just such a process, and the results are fun, colorful, and easy to reproduce. All three cards feature the same parts, pieces, and colors, but with the adjustment of paper angles, card orientation, composition, and embellishments, each has a unique look.

Our concept artist used Highland Heather Simply Marbleous 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper and Highland Heather Pastel Pearls because she loved the monochromatic blend. The pale lavender swirls allow the Pale Papaya and Polished Pink flowers to really pop!

For a final touch, she looped silver Simply Elegant Trim behind the flowers; the delicate, metallic twine adds lovely texture and interest—don’t you think?

What can you come up with using whatever bits and bobs you have on hand? You might be surprised by the results!

What’s better than making one card? Making three cards, of course! We had fun stepping up these three cards, and we hope you have fun too, whether you make one card or all three!

CASUAL For our Diese Karte beweist: Du bist grandios card, we used both the stamps and the die cuts from the Blessings of Home bundle. We first stamped out a gorgeous floral arrangement in VersaMark ink, which we heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and colored with Watercolor Pencils. We then die cut some lovely leaf trim using gold foil and stamped out a sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the Special Moments Stamp Set you can earn FREE with Sale-a-bration until Feb 28. Finally, we tore the top and bottom of the panel behind the floral arrangement for texture.

AVID We added All Together Designer Series Paper and Gilded Gems to our Geweldig goed gedaan card for a nice pop of color. We then used the White Watercolor Pencil to add shading and dimension to our beautiful flowers. Finally, we die cut a fun label for our sentiment using the Meadow Dies.

ARTFULLY AVID For our last project—Just a Card to Say You’re Amazing—we broke out the cardstock! We accented the top and bottom of the card with die cut Basic Borders in Rich Razzleberry; then we die cut the floral arrangement in white and the sentiment in Polished Pink. We finished off the card with some Gold 1/4″ (6.4 mm) Shimmer Ribbon. Isn’t it beautiful?

Want an easy way to make beautiful, handmade cards? Use Designer Series Paper! Just choose a piece you love, cut it to the size you want, and adhere it to a card base. If your goal is a simple card—you’re almost there!

Tip: Cutting strips of different patterns of Designer Series Paper to use as a background for a card is a great way to show off the Designer Series Paper’s range, as you see with our Arc-en-ciel card.

Once you stamp your sentiment, you may want to add a small, stamped border above and below the Designer Series Paper piece. This helps add visual texture and interest, and it’s fast and easy to do.

Another quick way to amp up your card’s look is to add a 3D embellishment—as we did with our Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels, small Designer Series Paper banner, and Linen Thread.

Once you’ve completed those simple steps, you’re ready to include a message and give your handmade card to someone special! Your card took just minutes to make, and you can be sure that your effort will mean a lot to the recipient.

Admire a fellow stamper’s work? Show how much you love it by CASEing it! Whether you’re a seasoned stamper or just starting out, get creative by copying and sharing everything!

Our concept artist did just that by CASEing the It’s Your Birthday card three different ways. She created the Catching Butterflies card by using the Highland Heather Stampin’ Write Marker to make a stripped background. Pro Tip: try making your lines thicker or thinner by doing more or fewer marker strokes.

Just CASE the color scheme from the It’s Your Birthday card to create our Driving By card (Gray Granite, Just Jade, Pale Papaya, and Pool Party—it’s a great color combination for any occasion)! This card is a great reminder that you don’t have to copy every detail exactly to make a great card.

Need help with the layout of your next card? Look no further than the Awesome Otters card. Our concept artist CASEd the layout from the It’s Your Birthday card by die cutting a few Tailor Made Tags and stacking them on one another. So cool!

This month’s step-by-step cards feature products from our fabulous Sale-A-Bration offering that you and your customers won’t want to miss: the Friendly Hello Stamp Set plus our Friendly Hello 12″ x 12″ (30.5 cm x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper—FREE with a qualifying purchase. Available until February 28, 2022, these products are the perfect focus for a ring-in-the New-Year workshop.

CASUAL The Hello card is simple and fast. Start by stamping the charming little bird image in Gray Granite ink, then add subtle color using Watercolor Pencils. Brush over the image with a Water Painter to create a light wash. Layer Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper under this focal image for extra prettiness. Tip: To just stamp the “Hello” sentiment, cover the word below it with a sticky note.

AVID Step up the color on the Gruss card using both watercolor pencil assortments for richness and depth. We also adhered a Cajun Craze Cardstock frame on two edges and backed the sentiment with a little frayed Gold 3/8″ (1 cm) Fine Art Ribbon.

To add a tactile layer, we ran a piece of Bumblebee Cardstock through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine using the Macrame 3D Embossing Folder. The fussy-cut cosmos flowers popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals are a great finishing touch.

ARTFULLY AVID For our Coucou card, we stamped the sentiment in VersaMark ink, then applied Heat and Stick Powder and Gilded Leafing. We also added a few more fussy-cut layers and a sprinkling of Genial Gems to finish.

A quick Google search will yield hundreds of thousands of results on how to make adorable Christmas, birthday, or greeting cards. With all this information, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But there’s no need to be stressed—sometimes simple is best!

Our Best Day Ever card is simple but sweet. We used Basic White and Costal Cabana cardstock for the base, then stamped with the In Symmetry Stamp Set to create a mirrored effect with Flirty Flamingo and Pear Pizzazz ink. We finished off this lovely card with a simple sentiment in Coastal Cabana ink.

Our Merci mille fois card took no time at all but still left a great impression. We used Basic White and Fresh Freesia cardstock for the base and stamped out some multi-level flowers with Daffodil Delight, Highland Heather, and Pear Pizzazz ink.

For our Du bist alles, außer gewöhnlich card, we used Subtles cardstock, cutting out 1-1/4″ x 3-1/2″ (3.2 x 8.9 cm) in Petal Pink and So Saffron and 2-1/4″ x 3-1/2″ (5.7 x 8.9 cm) in Calypso Coral. We adhered the strips to a 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ (8.9 x 12.1 cm) piece of Basic White cardstock with Stampin’ SEAL, then stamped out some cute images using VersaMark ink. We finished the card with an adorable sentiment stamped in Memento ink.

Small Cards, Big Hugs

Sometimes it might be difficult to give your loved ones a big hug—maybe they’re too far away or maybe an illness is keeping you apart. Whatever the reason, if you can’t see your friends or family in person, sending them a handmade card in the mail is the next best thing!

CASUAL For our casual Hugs card, we used the Night of Navy Stampin’ Write Marker to ink the word “Hugs” on the Sending Hugs stamp. We stamped the base of the card and the top and bottom of the cardstock with Granny Apple Green ink. The card was finished off with another small sentiment in Poppy Parade ink and some Loose Flower Flourishes.

AVID To make the Avid card, we used Granny Apple Green, Petal Pink, and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Write Markers to color in the flowers, berries, and leaves. We also added some more color to the card with Neutrals 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper and some Linen Thread.

ARTFULLY AVID Making our Artfully Avid card was so much fun, especially when we used the Layering Hugs Dies. First, we die cut our main image using vellum, then we cut out the individual letters with Night of Navy Ombre Specialty Paper. Then we added some Subtles 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm) Designer Series Paper, a few die cut and colored flowers, and some Elegant Faceted Gems to make it pop.

Everything needed to make a those needed thank you notes. Order yours here.

LOVE, SANTA TAG KIT – $19.00 USD

Christmastime memory keeping is a great way to preserve family traditions and keep heartwarming moments with loved ones alive for years to come. That means it’s time to start gathering supplies to make your own pretty pages!

Variety Pack 6″ x 8″ (15.2 x 20.3 cm) Photo Pocket Pages can be your best friend as you start planning your yule-centric project. Pro tip: Not every pocket needs to hold a photo! In fact, you’ll probably want to dedicate a few pocket spaces for design elements alone, allowing you to create a pleasing mix of Christmas-themed photos and art.

Our concept artist also cut Designer Series Paper to fit the pockets, then embellished the paper with die-cuts from the Whimsical Tree Bundle. (Notice how one pocket features a tree cut in half, with pieces strategically placed on the top and bottom of the photo to make it appear taller!)

And do you love the bauble die-cut tied to the binder rings with a bit of Baker’s Twine? The loop of Blushing Bride 3/8″ (1 cm) Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon placed behind it adds an extra smidge of beauty.

Did you know that famous artists CASEd the work of other artists? It’s true. For instance, Claude Monet worked as a caricaturist until he met Eugène-Louis Boudin—who taught him landscape and oil painting techniques on the beaches of France.

Boudin inspired Monet’s work, and Monet inspired countless other artists throughout time. So if you feel guilty about looking at other papercrafting artists’ projects for inspiration—don’t! We all look to one another for ideas, and we build on one another’s successes and strengths. It’s a good thing.

One of our concept artists has herself been busily CASEing to create today’s lovely samples. For example, the You Are Strong card features a color combo she saw in the annual catalog. She admired the Pale Papaya/Crushed Curry/Smoky Slate/Basic White vibe—and just switched up the emphasis for a unique look. (Do you love how the Square Vellum Doily peaks out from the Designer Series Paper layer?)

In other CASEing examples, our artist’s Happy Birthday card duplicated the use of paper strips to build depth and create an eye-catching background, while the You Make the Ordinary Extraordinary card was inspired by the embossed vellum technique.

Have fun looking for inspiration for your next project, and remember our very important, non-written rule of papercrafting: Sharing and CASEing makes the papercrafting world go around.

To make all these lovely Christmas cards we used the two-step stamping technique—that involves stamping certain images in layers over each other. This technique is so simple, but it adds beautiful depth and texture to any card.

The Magic in the Air card is small and would look adorable on a Christmas gift. To make this card, use Evening Evergreen ink to stamp the entire base with the tiny berries stamp from the Christmas Season Stamp Set in the July–December 2021 Mini Catalogue. Then, use the two-step stamp technique to make the leaves: simply stamp the base image first in Just Jade ink, then stamp the top layer in Evening Evergreen ink. Finally, add berries below the leaf and use the Christmas to Remember Stamp Set to add a sentiment, which you can then adhere to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Joyeux Noël card is so easy to make that you could get all your Christmas cards done in one sitting! Start with the pinecones by stamping the base layer in Crumb Cake and the top layer in Soft Suede. Next, stamp the long greenery pieces in between the two pinecones and then stamp your sentiment.

To make the Een kleurrijke kerst card, use the stamping-off technique to stamp the base of the holly leaves. Next, use the same color ink to stamp the layered image over the leaves. Finally, add some berries and a leaf, then stamp a sentiment in the center of the card.
