Stampin’ Up! Friendly Hello & Special Moments

Before sharing today’s card, I wanted to share this update from Stampin’ Up! about the Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends:

The new Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends from the All Together promotion have been a huge hit and we’re happy to see so many people embrace these new marker shades!

Unfortunately, because of global shipping delays, our North America stock of markers may sell out before our restock shipment arrives. This means there will be a period of time where the markers, and collections that include the markers, will be unavailable for purchase. 

The good news is that the Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends are a permanent addition to our marker collection, and we are optimistic that they will be back in stock by the launch of our 2022–2023 Annual Catalog! If you don’t snag your markers before they sell out this time around, you can purchase them in May.

Today’s fun fold card features several Sale-a-Bration products. Sale-a-Bration is that time of year when you can earn free products with every $50 or $100 you spend (before tax and shipping).  If you’ve never heard of Sale-a-Bration, you can read all about it here. I used the Friendly Hello Bundle which includes the Friendly Hello stamp set and Friendly Hello 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. It can be earned with a $100 purchase.  I also used the Special Moments stamp set which can also be earned with a $100 purchase. 

 

 

I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock which is the base of the card (you can find the measurements below the Supply List). I cut a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock that I folded in half and adhered a piece of Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper to the front. I also adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. Before adhering this piece to the card base, I cut another piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock and scored it to make a flap. I added adhesive to the front side of the flap and adhered it to the back of the Granny Apple Green/Designer Series Paper piece (use a strong adhesive such as Multipurpose Glue). Then I added adhesive to the back and placed it on the Thick Basic White cardstock. 

 

 

 

I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and placed it inside one of the Meadow Moments embossing folders and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I placed it on the front of the flap. Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, I cut two rectangles, one out of Basic White cardstock and a slightly larger one out of Granny Apple Green cardstock. I stamped the sentiment onto the Basic White rectangle using Granny Apple Green ink and the stamp set, Special Moments and then adhered it to the Granny Apple Green rectangle.  I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.

 

To complete the card, I added two Brushed Brass Butterflies to the sentiment piece.

Stampin’ Up! Butterfly Brilliance Collection

If you love butterflies, you’re going to love all the new products debuting today! The card I’m sharing was created using two of these new products: Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper and the Brilliant Wings Dies.

Here are the new products available today:

 

Brilliant Wings Dies

 

Today’s card is quick and easy to make! I started by adhering a layer of Butterfly Bijou 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper to my Mint Macaron card base.  Then I used that same Designer Series Paper to cut a butterfly using the Brilliant Wings Dies. If you’d like to see a good representation of the dies you’ll receive in the Brilliant Wings Dies, take a look HERE at the image for the Butterfly Brilliance Collection where you can see the actual dies

 

Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper

 

I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Then I stamped the sentiment in the corner with Mint Macaron ink using the stamp set, Butterfly Gala. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the scalloped rectangle and adhered it to the front of the card. I used Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back of the butterfly (in some places I had to cut them in half) and adhered it to the Stitched So Sweetly rectangle.  To complete the card, I added three Holiday Rhinestones to the front.

Host codes can be confusing but here’s what you need to remember:
