I took a different turn in designing today’s card. Instead of cutting the aspen tree oval out of solid cardstock, I chose a sheet from the Sale-A-Bration DSP called Rings of Love. I thought the pattern lended itself to looking more like a grove of trees and I liked the natural look to the layer. Below you’ll find links to the tutorial as well as the the August 3rd FaceBook video. Please let me know if you have questions about the project or other Stampin’ Up! questions I can help you with.

A quick card with simple supplies this week and I hope it inspires you. The options this year in the July/August 2022 Sale-A-Bration are really fantastic. I’ve been wanting to share this card with you for weeks!
Life has been really full in our household this summer (you probably know my sweet hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed a Mediterranean cruise and a week in Italy in June). It feels like only days since we arrived home but that’s really not true!! We’ve actually been home a month already! I hope you’ve kept cool and enjoyed good weather and fun family times wherever you are!!

I know some of you start early on your planning and making your Christmas cards so here is my first Christmas card of the season. This card ended up being my submission for a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator card exchange I participated in as well as my card for my Ink and Sparkle Stampers demonstrator team meeting this month. The tutorial is available further down this post and you can take a peek at my FaceBook Live for this card if you’d like as well. I decided to use the Brushstroke Specialty Designer Series paper from the new Annual Catalogue as I suspect it is a easily missed item on page 139. It is as beautiful paper with a slight shimmer to it and I would say it is a bit thinner than other Designer Series Papers. It’s strong enough to take Multipurpose Liquid Glue without buckling and it comes in 3 very pretty colours: Night of Navy, Blushing Bride and Soft Succulent. Take a look see!
The other item I used in today’s project is the Stamparatus. I don’t often say to you that “you need this” but this time I’m going to say it! It allowed me to get a repeated re-inking of the stamp and positioning it perfectly on the card stock. Secondly, if you are doing multiple cards, it is such a time-saver as you change out your card stock and repeatedly get a perfect placement for your stamping on the project. You should definitely add it to an upcoming order if you don’t have one!

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. I like to surprise a random person who comments by sending them a copy of the card. Maybe it’ll be you!
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.

This is a great to stock up and use the one-day FREE shipping to save $$.
Last Chance Products: There are so many amazing products that unfortunately are not carrying over to the 2022-23 Annual Catalogue (it goes live May 3rd by the way).

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.
SAVINGS ARE IN BLOOM promo: There are 13 bundles on sale and you can see all of them on my Stampin’ Up! website HERE. The mini size of the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine is also 20% off during March and that comes to $65.00 instead of $82.00! What a nice to time to have a sale as Stampin’ Up! recently announced that prices are going up for shipping (an additional $1 minimum or $10.95 for orders under $99 and up 1% to 11% shipping for orders $99 and more). Don’t miss out on the savings!!

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.
