The province of Alberta has mandated pandemic precaution changes effective Thursday Sept 16th and further restrictions on Monday Sept 20th.
After reading the information I could find at albertahealthservices.ca I believe it is best for us to return to Zoom for our papercrafting classes.
For those of you who have RSVP’d to attend this Friday’s class, I will diecut when I can tomorrow and will have packages ready for pickup Friday beginning at 1 pm. Please give yourself about 10 minutes when you come to pickup supplies as there is a bit of stamping planned for this month’s projects.
If you already own the Merriest Moments stamp set and the Sale-a-Bration set Counting Sheep please let me know.
I definitely have enough supplies to add more people to the class so if you’d like to join us n Zoom, please let me know RIGHT AWAY!
Yes … it’s another card using the New Horizons 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper! Hope you like it!!
This is one of the extra projects I made as I was prepping the card stock, etc for this Friday’s Cookies & Cards Class (May 27 at 7 pm in person; contact me for the To-Go option if you prefer).

Cost is $20 or free with a Stampin’ Up! order with me for a minimum of $30 before shipping and GST. Cost is only $10 for members of my Stampin’ Up! demonstrator team, Ink and Sparkle Stampers.

Just add a 1/2 sheet of Sweet Sorbet card stock to a coordinating card base from the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes pack and you’ve got a stepped up but still super quick card!
Today’s 3-2-1 Stamp is a day late … sorry about that! Are you feeling like me and in need of a holiday? The reason for the late post: For my husband and I, we’ve been working through lots of details selling a rental property we have – I’m in need of some Stampin’ Up! stress-relieving card making and well … the holiday will come soon hopefully!
This card started out as a card base in the beautiful Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes pack. If you use the card bases and beautifully pre-decorated envelopes just as they come, they are gorgeous — there are 5 colours of card bases that correspond to the. brand new 2022-2024 In Colors that debuted in the 2022-23 Stampin’ Up! catalogue. They are so much more beautiful in person — such clear, saturated colours — you’ve got to come see them at my class and get some of these in your own hands!
Here is are the supplies that started out as a pre-printed March 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit (as of the time posting today, I’ve got 2 more refill kits from this Paper Pumpkin at $15 each if you’d like one for yourself or a friend. The Refill Kit doesn’t include the stamp or Ink that came with the full kit but has everything else you need!). All I added to the kit supplies was my brand new In-Color Stampin’ Write Markers and a half sheet of the Orchid Oasis (another one of the 2022-2024 In-Colors) card stock.
Here is what I did with the above supplies:
Sample #2 Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes
One last example from the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes: this is the one we made at my Ink and Sparkle Stamping Team Get-Together May 14th:
Sample #3 Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes

Today’s card came about as I saw a beautiful card by Dawn Olchefske on her blog dostamping.typepad.com dated March 12, 2022. I CASE’d (Copy & Selectively Edited) her beautiful card and changed things up a bit. I also saw another Stampin’ Up! demonstrator – sorry … I’m not sure who it was 😦 … who turned a punched piece from the Sprig Punch into a sprig of Pussy Willows. I wanted to share a project with you using the Pussy Willows and this is what I came up with. I hope you enjoy using the tutorial below and I’d love it if you’d check out my video on FaceBook below and especially if you’d Comment and Like the post.

Daffodil Daydream #157786 and Beyond the Horizon March 2022 Paper Pumpkin Refill #160330
I just love the hand-painted look to the Beyond the Horizon card bases in the March 2022 Paper Pumpkin kit and New Horizons Designer Series Paper. The talented concept artists at Stampin’ Up! hand-paint the originals of these designs and then the paintings are photographed and the Designer Series Papers are printed from the photos. What an amazing group of artists and we get to use their beautiful works in our paper crafting – just another reason to love working with Stampin’ Up! products!
This is definitely one of the more simple cards I’ve made lately. I started with an old card I kept from a few years back. For today’s design, I wanted the cross to be centre focus and chose the pre-printed card base from the March 2022 Paper Pumpkin with that in mind. I liked how the swirl of colours near the upper part of the cross complimented the dark woodgrain and gold filagree of the cross itself. You may be surprised to know that I actually turned the intended direction of the card upside-down to make this effect work for the design. Don’t be afraid to use your supplies in a different way than originally intended — you never know if you’ll like it unless you try!

Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards & Envelopes #155501 and Card Pack (155505)
Isn’t this Hand-Penned suite of products so pretty! We are revisiting the Hand-Penned group of products and today we are using the Memories & More Cards & Envelopes as well as Card Pack. This suite of products has been my favourite and I would even go as far as to say that it has been a favourite as compared to any of the products I’ve loved from Stampin’ Up! though the years. The delicate, hand-drawn images remind me of flowers I remember from my grandmother’s garden in Sutton, England. It also contains the images and colours that my friend Heather was known for (if you’ve stamped with me for fairly long period, you will have known Heather before she sadly passed away).
On the video today, I mentioned several of the current promotions at Stampin’ Up! Be sure to check my demonstrator website at stampersue.stampinup.net for all the details.

Have you ever crafted a Bridge Fold card? There were several things on my mind that ended up making this card come together. I have been wanting to use colours of the Ukranian flag in a card project (the war in Ukraine is heart-wrenching), the next series of products for 3-2-1 Stamp are the Waves of the Ocean stamps, dies & accessories plus I always love sharing another fun card fold! So here is the design for this week – it is a CASE’d project which stands for Copy And Selectively Edit – I adjusted just a few parts of the card from the project I saw by fellow demonstrator, Leena Girsa of ALaCards.blogspot.com.
There were problems with the audio at about the 8:00 minute mark. If you need any clarification of the “how to”, please let me know. I will redo the video Friday or Saturday and repost that asap.

Today’s card features the Host Stamp Set Calming Camellia (free when you host or place a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration between now and February 28th). I know … I’ve already showcased this stamp set but I love it so much I had to share one more project with you!
Remember … Sale-A-Bration is coming to an end in only a few more days. If you aren’t already working with a Canadian Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator and I can help you with an order or Stampin’ Up! related question, please let me know. I’d be happy to help.

If your “must have list” is lengthy, consider choosing the Starter Kit and include up to $165 of merchandise for only $135 including shipping. It is an especially great value right now in that during Saleabration January & February of 2022, you get to choose an additional 2 stamp sets for FREE from the Annual or January to June spring mini catalogues.
You don’t need to do classes, run things as a business (but you definitely can if you wish!) and can simply enjoy the demonstrator discount for as long as you wish. Those who purchase the Starter Kit in February 2022 aren’t required to purchase the quarterly minimum until the end of June 2022. If you choose not to put in orders to total the quarterly minimum … no problem, you revert back to customer status. Why not, however, save some money and join the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator community and make things work the way you want.
