Today I’m sharing several variations of cards I shared last month. Once I have a card design I like, I try to change it up a bit with different colors or Designer Series Paper. Do you do that too?
I’m in love with the New Horizons Designer Series Paper. This paper makes is so easy to create an easy but pretty card! For this first card, I used a different design than my original card which you can see here (you can find the measurements and supplies I used too). The only thing I did differently is that I used Blackberry Bliss cardstock but other than that, all the supplies and measurements are the same.
These next two cards were made using the Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Friendly Hello. This stamp set can be earned free during Sale-a-Bration with a $100 order and it includes a package of Friendly Hello 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. You can see the original card here (you also find a free tutorial) for measurements I used but I’ll include the supplies for these next two cards down below because I changed up what I used.
This first card has a base of Fresh Freesia cardstock and I used Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper. I stamped the bird and sentiment using Memento Ink and then colored the bird and flowers using these Stampin’ Blends: Balmy Blue (Light & Dark), Fresh Freesia (Light & Dark), Crumb Cake (Light), Daffodil Delight (Dark) and Mossy Meadow (Light). I colored the Polished Dots using the Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blend.
This next card has a base of Balmy Blue cardstock. I used Simply Marbleous 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper which is also a Sale-a-Bration gift you can choose with a $50 purchase. I colored the bird using the same Stampin’ Blends as I did for the card above. I colored the Polished Dots using the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blend.
Sale-a-Bration ends on February 28, 2022! Below are all the products you can choose from with every $50 or $100 purchase (before tax/shipping). Click on each product for more information.
This Supply List is for the second and third card. As mentioned above, you can refer to this post for the supplies needed for the first card. If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your demonstrator! You can place an order by clicking any of the images below to go to my Stampin’ Up! online store.
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.

I don’t have a card for you today but I want to share several videos from Stampin’ Up! Did you know Stampin’ Up! has a YouTube channel? I have videos for three of our suites of products.

The new Stampin’ Up! January – June 2022 Annual Catalog is now live AND Sale-a-Bration has begun! You can start shopping HERE.
With all the global delays and production concerns, if you see something you love in the new catalog, I’d recommend purchasing it sooner rather than later. I don’t have any insider information but if certain products are popular, it may be difficult to get them back in stock.
As mentioned yesterday, I will no longer be mailing card kits with each order over $18 but I hope to bring them back in the future but in a different way. I’m still working out the details. There are several of you that I promised card kits to before I made this decision and you will still receive yours.
I have a new host code for this month! When you place a minimum $50 order and use the host code below, you’ll receive an embellishment from the new catalog (it will be a surprise). Once I close the host code on January 31st, I’ll order all the embellishments and as soon as I receive them, I’ll send them out to you which will be approximately February 15th. You must use the host code to receive your free gift if your order is under $150. If your order is $150 or more, please do not use the host code so you can receive Stampin’ Rewards (free product) directly from Stampin’ Up! You will automatically receive the free gift from me.
