What's New

Thinlits & the Best of 25 Years

August 4, 2013 Some of you have been asking what has Carrie been up to since Convention.  Well after returning from my 8 day trip to National Parks in the Southwest, I had 2 clubs meet that week, painted 2 bedrooms and reorganized my stamping room.  Whew!  I'm tired.  I didn't even get dressed today.  I did want to let you know what's new with Stampin' Up for August.  Soon I will start posting some cards.    

They've been called flip cards, flip flop cards, swing cards, and more-but they have always been a bit tricky to create. Not anymore! Our amazing new Thinlits Card Dies cut and score to create a card that flips in just one step.
Available starting August 1, 2013

These new card dies come with extra die pieces that have versatile designs, so you can use them on other projects, not just flip cards.
The Circle Card Thinlits Die comes with 10 total pieces; the Label Card Thinlits Die comes with nine total pieces.
With the number of dies you're getting, plus the die that creates the card itself, the price is a great value-especially to create an interactive card!
More information ....

• These Thinlits Card Dies will be available at least through the 2013-2014 catalog year.
• The main shape in the cards (circle and label) can work with a lot of our stamp images so you can create tons of different kinds of cards using many different stamp sets.

Here are just a few suggestions to get you started:

Convention Holiday Catalog Swap Card

I

This is the card I swapped last night at our hotel across from the convention center.  I used Joyful Christmas stamp set from the new holiday catalog.  The colors are old olive and cherry cobbler.  I heat embossed with gold embossing powder.  I used a new embossing folder Stylish Stripes.

My Convention Swap Card

 I'm leaving for the SU Convention 2013 today.  I made 52 of these swap card fronts to swap at our hotel at 10pm tonight in our PJs.  My goal after last years convention was to start blogging and get one recruit so I could go to Leadership in Orlando in January 2013.  I wonder what my goals will be this year?

Stamp set: Happy Day

Paper: Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White, and Calypso Coral

Ink: Calypso Coral and Versa Mark Ink

Other: Iridescent Ice embossing powder, crisp cantaloupe color ruffled trim 

July 11th Canal Street Class Cards

I CASED this card from Stampin' Success magazine.  I used A Round Array stamp set instead of World Treasures.  I stamped in Daffodil Delight.  The clay buttons were colored with Strawberry Slush, Old Olive and Costal Cabana ink.  The stamped images at the top and bottom of the card are from Mosaic Madness.

This is the second card that I designed for class on July 13th.  I love the new designer paper packs!  The color is blushing bride.

After I made a card with thin strips of paper to make a lattice for the open house,  Nancy and I talked about using the lattice die to make another card for class.  This is what Nancy came up with.  Another great Flower Shop card.

This is the card from the open house where I wove the strips of paper.  It was a CASED card.

Here's Nancy's second card.  Nancy and I both love the hostess stamp set Simply Sketched that was used.  Host a party today or join one of my clubs to earn this stamp set.

It's My Happy Big Day

This card was actually my idea!  I know.  It doesn't happen very often lately but I do get my own ideas once in a while.  I love how easy it was to make this skirt with the new ruffled trim.

June 27th Canal Street Class Cards

The top two cards were taught by Nancy Thompson.  The bottom two cards were taught by Carrie.  I cased both cards.  The first one was from Robyn Noden .  This type of get well card was requested by Linda Fisher.  Before we did it at class Linda had already made a  card like it at home.  The wedding/anniversary card I cased from Connie Babbert.
