Simply Sunday: Sneak Peek!

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I’d like to share with you a Sneak Peek into the new MINI Catalog and Sale-a-bration Catalog! I’m using the Laser cut paper from the Dandy Garden Suite along with the beautiful “Heal Your Heart” Stamp Set from our Sale-a-bration catalog.

For those of you who are new to stamping and do not know what Sale-a-bration is; it’s our most exciting and anticipated event of the year … and this year we will celebrate twice!! Our upcoming Sale-a-bration period will run from January 5th through February 28th. For each $50 purchase (before shipping & taxes) can chose one of the many amazing products from our Sale-a-bration Catalog … these are exclusive to this event only!

Let’s take a look at today’s card …

I began with the Laser cut piece and layered it over the stunning Fine Art Floral Designer Series paper from the Mini Catalog. I chose the pattern that looks like brush strokes of a painting … I thought it created a beautiful background to my laser cut paper. This front piece was layered with dimensionals onto a piece of Mango Melody which I cut a small piece off and split it apart to create some added dimension and creates a simple but fun twist to the card!

The greeting comes from the “Heal Your Heart” stamp set that comes from our Sale-a-bration catalog … which you can earn for FREE during the Sale-a-bration period. I used the Everyday Label Punch to highlight the greeting, I then put on a few Rhinestones and popped it up with dimensionals. I love the layering on this simple card … it really helps bring it to life!

I hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek into our upcoming catalogs … If you have ordered through me in the last year, you should be receiving both catalogs. I have heard that they are just being delivered … I hope they are not stuck int this pile…

Please keep me posted on whether you have received your catalogs or not … I want to make sure you have yours before my Spring Sale-a-bration Party!! More information on that soon.

Have a wonderful day and Thank You for joining me today.

Whisper White Retiring …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

I posted this news on my Linda’s Stampin’ Escape Facebook page, but if you do not use Facebook, I wanted to make sure you heard the news … Whisper White is Retiring! BUT we have good news, a replacement has been found. Here’s the story …

We are sad to announce that the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately, we weren’t given much notice on this closure. This means that the technology unique to this particular supplier is now unavailable to us and we can no longer offer our Whisper White cardstock and related products, such as Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes. Please note that this won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!

With Whisper White going out of production, this means a number of Whisper White products will be affected. Below is a list of all products that will be replaced with our new Basic White cardstock. These items are now available while supplies last with an order limit of 2 per item per order.

  • Whisper White 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Cardstock (124302)
  • Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes (149710)
  • Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes (131527)
  • Whisper White 3″ x 3″ (7.6 x 7.6 cm) Envelopes (145829)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Cardstock (100730)
  • Whisper White 8-1/2″ x 11″ Thick Cardstock (140272)
  • Whisper White Medium Envelopes (107301) SOLD OUT

Our new Basic White products will become available to purchase as soon as we have them in stock. This means that some Whisper White and Basic White products may be available at the same time. Additionally, due to the nature of sourcing, some Basic White products may not be available before the Whisper White products sell out. Please know that we are working on getting these products available to you as fast as possible.

If you have any questions on the information I have shared from the Stampin’ Up! Home Office, please message me below or email me at lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com

Thank you for joining me today … and don’t forget to join me tomorrow for my FACEBOOK LIVE demonstration!

Curvy Variations …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

How are you today? Hope you are well … Today I’d like to take a walk through the many variations of the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle. Let’s begin with my first …

The beautiful Feels Like Frost Designer Series paper teamed up with the Quite Curvy Bundle makes your cardmaking quick and easy! Don’t forget the beautiful silver patterns on the other side of this stunning designer paper.

My next card introduces you to the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (you can earn FREE during Sale-a-bration) It’s so fun and pretty …. great for cheering up your friends and family for any occasion!

Here are three more patterns from the Flower & Field Designer paper using the same layout ….

Aren’t the patterns fun and pretty?! Love them. Next up is my card design from the Curvy Christmas and Classic Christmas Designer paper …

I did use the sample layout as I did in the cards I shared with the new Flowers and Field Designer Paper that is available during Sale-a-bration. The layering of the designer paper and cardstock makes for quick -n- easy card making.

I used the 6″ x 6″ Classic Christmas Designer Paper … you can purchase this in the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle (that has it all) along with the Curvy Christmas stamp set. I chose the pattern with the stars for Christmas, although I’ve seen some amazing cards on Pinterest using this bundle for Christmas. Here’s another …

The brown tone card was created by Stampin’ Up! While I was working on my card with the Stars … it just reminded me of the Fourth of July, our Service Men and Women and a celebration so I swapped out my cardstock to Night of Navy and another holiday was represented!!

The greeting comes from the Quite Curvy bundle and the stars come from the Curvy Christmasa stamp set. This is such a versatile variety bundle, like me, I’m sure you would like it all.

The last card share I have for you was my latest creation, changing it up by using the die as an edgelit and creating a fun card front and exposing a bit of the inside of the card …

The Quite Curvy bundle will be available later, however the Curvy Christmas is retiring. I have posted the links to the products so you can get a better look at the offerings. Please let me know if I can help you in any way.

Thank you so much for stopping by today… I hope yours is a great one.

Thinking of You at Christmas …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

The weekend is slowly sneaking up on us … and so is Christmas! Today I have another card to share with you that I made using the another pattern from the “Classic Christmas” Designer Series paper. This 6″ x 6″ designer paper is included in the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle.

I wanted to create a different look than what I have been showing you so I used one of the other dies as an edgelit so you could see another way to use those dies. It looks so pretty and it gives your card a whole new look.

The greeting comes from the Curvy Christmas stamp set and really highlights the edge of our card, as so those pretty little Red Rhinestones …

I cut the edge just like I showed you in the video where we split the card in two and put our greeting in the center … her we just created a totally different look by leaving the second (or bottom) piece off completely!!

The Red Ribbon accents and coordinates with our greeting (Stamped in Real Red) and the Red Rhinestones. I chose the Shaded Spruce cardstock to add a rich dark green to compliment the red. Contrasting colors have a way of making the whole card pop … and the white base really brings out the white in the designer paper.

The Quite Curvy bundle will be available later, however the Curvy Christmas is retiring … so the Quite Curvy Variety Bundle will be gone too. I have posted the links below that you can click on and learn more about the products.

Thank you for joining me today… I hope you have a wonderful day.

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Guest Stamper: Deb Anderson

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Today I have another “DRAPERY FOLD” card for you … from Deb Anderson. Deb caught my Facebook LIVE demonstration on the Drapery Fold and was inspired to try it out … and she shared this sample with me ….

Deb used the Snowflake Splendor Designer Series paper for her card …

It is fairly simple to make and does not need a lot of supplies, and it’s fun! It give you a touch of “fanciness” on your card but slides into the envelope quite easy.

I have a video for you to watch, my Technique Tuesday video from my Facebook LIVE last night. Have a bit of a rest and watch the video …

What did you think … ?? This is the type of card that looks fancy but is pretty easy to make. Any designer paper could be used for this style of card. I chose to use the Poinsettia Place suite… such a pretty pattern and a natural background to accent the fold.

I have written down the measurements for you ….

I also showcased both cards in the photo … the one on the left is the one where the drapery fits from end to end, and the one on the right is the one I trimmed off to create a border all the way around my card front.

I hope I inspired you to try out this simple yet pretty “FUN FOLD”, then I’d LOVE to see what you create.

Have yourself a wonderful day, and thank you for spending part of it with me.

Curvy Christmas Greeting …

Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

As promised … I am back today with my “Curvy Christmas” card. I can’t believe how easy this was to use and how cool the card turned out. Since I’m going Christmas, I chose the Feels Like Frost Designer Series paper. Once run through the Stampin’ Cut -n- Emboss machine and the Curvy Dies delivered this ……

My base is Whisper White and cut at 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″. The card front, also Whisper White is 5-1/4″ x 4″. The Feels Like Frost Designer Paper was cut 5-1/4″ x 3″ … and then I ran it through the die cutting machine with the Curvy Die. Once cut you just slide it apart and it exposes the area where you will stamp your greeting.

The greeting comes from the Curvy Christmas stamp set … the little stars are included in there as well. The cool thing about the Photopolymer stamps, is that you can shape them to fit “where” you want it to go.

I secure the bottoms piece before I stamp my greeting but I leave the top so I can adjust it if needed … If I do, I just trim off the excess paper. I am going to host an online class where I can show you more about this fun and amazing product line.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope today kicks off an amazing weekend for you!!

Have a great day ~
