3-2-1 Stamp Wednesday August 3, 2022: Perched In A Tree Card

A new bundle from the July to December Mini Catalogue. The tutorial is below with all the details and measurements.

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.

3-2-1 Stamp Weds March 30, 2022: Hand-Penned Memories & More Card

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.

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!!

3-2-1 Stamp Weds March 9, 2022: Waves of the Ocean Bridge Fold Card

Waves of the Ocean Collection #161797

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.

3-2-1 Stamp Weds Nov 10, 2021: Sweet Little Stockings Card

3-2-1 Stamp FaceBook Live Nov 10th, 2021

My FaceBook Live this week at Ink and Sparkle Stamping with Sue November 3rd used: 3 Card Stock Colours (plus another for the greeting), 2 Colours of Stampin’ Blends Markers & 1 Embellishment (the Linen Thread).

Here is the link to the video on FaceBook and below that, you will find the tutorial for you to view and/or print. Just click on the blue coloured words and the link will take you there.

Click HERE to watch the November 3rd FaceBook video

I watched a Canadian Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator (Lisa Althouse) demonstrate this card sketch using the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper and a series of different green tones from Stampin’ Up! products. Immediately I though about the beautiful DSPs we have in the current 2 catalogues and though about using the measurements for her card design and changing things up a bit. On the video today, I used the heartwarming Hugs DSP but showed another version using Tidings of Christmas DSP from the 2021-22 Annual Catalogue. I hope you enjoy the video and use the measurements for your next card project. If you do, I’d love to see a photo of your project and, remember … when you share this week’s FaceBook Live video between now and my next FaceBook Live and come back to the post and add a comment “Shared”, your name is entered to win the current week’s project sent to you in the mail. I absolutely love sharing Stampin’ Up! creativity and would love to share my current FaceBook Live project with you!

I hope you enjoy using the card sketch and would love to see you comment on the FaceBook post whether you watch live or on the replay.

If you need Stampin’ Up! supplies, please shop HERE during the month of November (includes Host Code for the month of November). If your shopping list is $200 or over, please don’t use the Host Code so that you can use the Stampin’ Rewards yourself. Every online order receives a thank you card from me.

If your “must have list” is lengthy, consider choosing the Starter Kit special Nov 4-30 and include up to $165 of merchandise for only $100 including shipping (GST still needs to be paid unfortunately!). It is an especially great value right now and just think, everyone wants to save money … why not use the Starter Kit to make all your Christmas cards, home decor and more at a discount.

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 November and December aren’t required to purchase the quarterly minimum until after the end of March 2022. Join the Stampin’ Up! community and make things work the way you want.

If you live in Canada and do not already have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I would be happy to be your Demonstrator. I can help you get a new 2021-2022 Annual Catalogue and July to December Mini Catalogue. If you are in or near Edmonton and can come pick up your catalogue, there is no cost and I will include a thank-you and a few pieces of the 2021-2023 In-Color Cardstock and supplies to start making projects even before you get a chance to open your new Catalogue.

Contact me if you have Stampin’ Up! questions and I hope you enjoy using your free tutorial!
