Stampin' Updates for March 1st

Happy March 1st crafty friends! There are a couple of crafty updates I am sharing with you this week as we enter this new month of March. 

First up are Online Exclusives.

As part of Stampin' UP!'s new product release strategy, Online Exclusives allow you to better utilize digital resources and platforms in an ever-changing world. This new strategy also helps Stampin' UP! respond more quickly to relevant trends and your needs. Stampin' UP! will consistently release new products every other month throughout the year.

This month, the Online Exclusives feature LOTS of different products. I created this slim-line wedding card for a friend using 6 of these products. Can you spot them?

Card-making Tips:

• Finished size is: 3-5/8" x 8-5/8"
• Stamp the splatter image from the stamp set randomly with Pretty Peacock ink onto a 3-1/4" x 8-1/4" piece Soft Sea Foam cardstock and adhere to the card front. *Please Note: Pretty Peacock ink is retired but will be coming back in the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog.
  
• Cut the Hello, Irresistable DSP into 3 different sizes as your card panels: 2" x 6", 1-1/8" x 6", and 3-1/4" x 2-1/4". The top left panel will be run thru your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine with the distressed Basic 3D embossing folder.
• Be sure to use some Adhesive Sheets when you cut the piece from the die that looks like long strips with circles.
• The word "happy" was stamped onto a soft sea foam piece of DSP using the Classic Letters stamp set with Daffodil Delight ink. Fussy cut around each letter as shown then adhere with dimensionals onto the top left panel.
• The Loose Frosted Dots were adhered using the Fine Tip Glue Pen.
• The Slimline Envelopes are perfect for this color combination in the DSP!
  
• If you haven't noticed already, there are 2 returning colors: Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock.
• The small flower was layered onto the large flower with dimensionals.

You can view a couple more samples using this Collection of products in this post.

Below is a closeup of the card and the inside:

Paper Pumpkin Class

**REVISED 3/8/2022 

Happy March Crafty Friends!

I hope you are just as excited as I am that Spring 2022 will be official in ONLY 16 days!!! What's even more exciting about the spring time is a chance to begin something new and fun!

I'm SUPER excited to announce my Paper Pumpkin Class, starting March 31, 2022 April 28, 2022!!!

If you can answer "yes" to any of the questions below, this is the class for YOU!

• Do you want to receive an inexpensive, pre-designed and ready-to-go crafting kit that you can assemble on your own? 
  
• Do you want to have a ready-to-go supply of HANDMADE cards to give away to that special someone or even donate them for a special cause?
• Do you want to spend some time gathering with others doing something you enjoy?
• For existing subscribers, do you have a stack of kits waiting to be assembled?
  

Here are the details:

• First of all, Paper Pumpkin is a monthly crafting subscription by Stampin' UP! that is delivered to your door. It's like Christmas every month! Each box includes everything you need to make your projects. 
• Cost for the subscription is $23.50 (shipping included) 
• You can cancel or skip a month at any time.
• Subscribe by the 10th of the month to receive that month's kit.
  
• On the Last Thursday of every month at 6:30pm, beginning on March 31st April 28th, we will get together at my home in Rowlett and I can guide you on how to assemble your Paper Pumpkin Kits.
• I will also show you a couple of alternative designs using the kit.
• If you are not able to attend the class in person, you will still receive your Paper Pumpkin kit unless you decide to skip or cancel your subscription. You can assemble the kit on your own time.
• When we gather on the Last Thursday of each month, you will need to bring your Paper Pumpkin kit that you receive for that month, some good sharp scissors and the "take-your-pick" tool.
•  Read on below for more details on the tools.
  
• I will have drinks and snacks available.
  

 

We will begin our class with the March April Paper Pumpkin kit, "Beyond the Horizon".   

 

Preview to come.

The March kit includes watercolor prints and designs inspired by the beautiful nature around us to create nine (9) cards and coordinating envelopes. And paper pieces that perfectly coordinate with the New Horizons Suite Collection in the January–June 2022 Mini Catalog.

You will also get a FREE stamp set inside (yes—that’s two stamp sets in one kit!) as Stampin' UP!'s way of saying THANK YOU to all of our wonderful Paper Pumpkin subscribers.
