Winter Woods Bundle by Stampin’ Up!

One of the bundles in the Holiday Catalog is Winter Woods. When you purchase this bundle, which includes the Winter Woods stamp set and In the Woods Framelits Dies, you’ll save 10%.  I wasn’t going to purchase this particular bundle but once I saw the video, I had to have it! I think you’ll see why as you watch the video below. I’ll be creating with this set soon and sharing what I’ve made! 

It’s such a versatile set and isn’t limited to the holidays! The bundle can be used to simply make a beautiful winter card. It’s been a popular bundle and In the Woods Framelits Dies are currently on backorder but they are due back in stock on October 22nd, next week! You can still order them and once they’re in stock, they’ll be sent to you!  (more…)

Stampin’ Up! Embossing Folders

Today we’re going to talk about embossing folders!

If you haven’t used an embossing folder before, it transforms your paper and adds beautiful texture and dimension. Simply add paper to the inside of the folder, run it through the Big Shot and be amazed! 

Stampin’ Up! currently has 28 embossing folders to choose from and there are two different types: standard and dynamic.  The standard embossing folders have been around for a long time and the folders are thin.  The 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions folders are relatively new and are much thicker which helps to create a deeper impression in the paper. 

The video below showcases a brand new folder in the Holiday 2018 Catalog, the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder.  If you aren’t familiar with our embossing folders, watch the video below to see what they can do to a plain piece of paper.  Then come back and I’ll share the “sandwich” you’ll use for the different folders.

Garden Impressions Get Well Card

I needed a quick card this morning so I used this layout here and just changed up the paper and colors. I used Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper which comes in 6″ x 6″ sheets.  You can make two cards out of one sheet and use the leftover paper to jazz up the inside. The Melon Mambo piece of cardstock went through the Big Shot using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. The roses are a bit bold so I thought this folder went nicely with it, soft and subtle.  Night of Navy cardstock was used for the base, underneath the Designer Series Paper and underneath the sentiment.  (more…)
