Last Chance Products

April 14, 2023April 14, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

I’ve been AWOL for the last few weeks and am finally able to catch up with Stampin’ Up! news! The last two months have been crazy time for me. I’ve been busy with in in-person card making classes, taking care of getting several income tax returns ready for my accountants, working on a huge client project that picks up steam in March and April, and finally, taking a short vacation from the end of March into early April. I spent several days in one of my favorite cities – New Orleans, visiting with my dearest friends from my college days of 50 years ago! They have a lovely second home in the Garden District. This is the fourth time I’ve been to NOLA in the last 30 years. We visited the World War ll Museum, Oak Alley Plantation, did a swamp tour through the Jean Lafitte National Park, where we saw many alligators – oh my! Also visited City Park’s beautiful outdoor sculpture garden, strolled down Magazine Street and had meals at some fabulous restaurants. And of course, no visit to NOLA would be complete without a stop at Cafe Du Monde for the beignets!

Since I’m late in posting this, by now you probably know that the 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog are retiring on May 1st and the new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog will go live on May 2nd. Click on the catalog covers below to view the retiring lists for both catalogs. There discounts on many of the products. Since this is a year for a color rrefresh, most of the inks, reinkers, cardstock, etc. for those retiring colors have already sold out and are now discontinued. My next blog post will have all the information you need about the new, returning and retiring colors. The Stamparatus is now discontinued. Several of my favorite, most heavily used die sets are retiring and as of now, are still available while supplies last – Layering Circles, Stitched Rectangles, Diorama Dies. One other thing to note as you look at the lists. A number of bundles will be retiring and will not be carrying over to the new catalog. However, a number of stamp sets and dies that were in bundles will carry over and will be sold separately, without the 10% discount. So if you have any bundles on your wish list that are retiring you might want to consider purchasing them now.

By the Bay Fun Fold Card

March 24, 2023March 24, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s card is another one I made with the By the Bay Suite. It features the W Fun Fold, which looks difficult, but is really easy to make.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder
Stamp the sea shell and sand image from the Seaside Bay stamp set with Balmy Blue ink around all four sides of the card front so that it looks like a frame.
Cut a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock at 3 1/8″ x 4 7/8″. Cut a piece of By the Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper at 3″ x 4 3/4″. I chose one of the papers with a scene. Adhere to Crumb Cake piece and adhere to card front.
Stamp large bird image with Soft Suede ink on a scrap piece of Basic White cardstock. Stamp the sea shell and sand image with Sahara Sand ink on the scrap piece. Run through die cutting machine with the coordinating dies from the Seaside Bay Dies.
Cut a small piece of Pearlescent Specialty Paper and run through die cutting machine with the double small shell die and one large shell die. Cut a small piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock and run through die cutting machine with one large and one small grass dies.
Arrange die cut pieces on the DSP and adhere.
Run the large shell through die cutting machine with a piece of Basic White cardstock. Cut shell in half. Stamp greeting from Paradise Palms stamp set with Balmy Blue ink on the shell and adhere to DSP. Embellish card front with several Flat Adhesive-Backed Pearls.

Here is how to make the inside of the card.

Stamp the sea shell and sand image with Balmy Blue ink all around the sides of the Balmy Blue cardstock
Cut two pieces of DSP at 3″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere.
Cut four pieces of Balmy Blue cardstock at 2 1/4″ each and four pieces of Basic White cardstock at 2″ each. Stamp the large crab image with Balmy Blue ink on the first piece. Stamp the small bird images three times with Night of Navy ink on the second piece. Stamp the oyster shell with Crumb Cake ink on the third piece. Stamp the sand image with Sahara Sand ink around the images on all three pieces. Leave the fourth piece blank to write your note or stamp the greeting of your choice. Adhere white squares to Balmy Blue squares.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 1″ x 11″ and score at 2 3/4″, 5 1/2″ and 8 1/4″. Crease all folds very sharply with a bone folder.
Run a thin line of liquid glue at the top of the 11″ strip. Open card and center the strip in the middle. Line up the top of the strip with the top of the card and adhere. Run a thin line of liquid glue at the bottom of the strip. Line up the strip with the bottom of the card and adhere.
Adhere the four squares to the strip, running a thin line of liquid glue in the middle of each square. Don’t apply glue to the entire square otherwise the fold won’t work properly.

Last July I posted a W Fun Fold with the Hues of Happiness Suite. Here is the card. To view the blog post, click here.

Seaside Bay Diorama Card

March 9, 2023March 8, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s card is a Seaside Bay Diorama Card, which uses products from the beautiful By the Bay Suite. As soon as I saw this in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog I knew it would be the first thing I purchased in my pre-order! The Designer Series Paper is absolutely stunning! When I saw the DSP with the fish design I thought it would work great with the Layering Diorama Dies.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – Cut a piece of Coastal Cabana at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of the fish paper from the By the Bay Designer Series Paper at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Adhere to card base.
Cut a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and run through die cutting machine with the fourth largest die from the Layering Diorama Dies.
Cut a coordinating piece of paper from the By the Bay Designer Series Paper at 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and run through die cutting machine with the third largest die from the Layering Diorama Dies.
Place the Coastal Cabana die cut piece over the fish DSP and then place the die cut DSP over it. Turn the pieces in different directions until you get a design you like. I wanted to show off as much of the fish as possible and liked how it looked with the Coastal Cabana piece turned the way I decided on. Adhere Coastal Cabana piece to the fish DSP. Adhere the die cut DSP piece to front of card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I used a lot of them in order to create a 3D look.

Cut a piece of a Gold Foil Sheet at 2 1/2″ x 3″ and run through die cutting machine with the shell die from the Seaside Bay Dies. Fold along score lines and adhere to card.
Cut a piece of Petal Pink cardstock at 2″ square. Stamp greeting from the Paradise Palms stamp set with Soft Suede ink and run through die cutting machine with the shell die from the Chic Dies. Adhere to card, tucking the bottom into the bottom of the Coastal Cabana die cut piece.
Cut a piece of Pool Party Sheer Ribbon at 5″, fold in half and adhere in between the gold and Petal Pink shells. Trim ends.
Cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″. Stamp the large clam image with Coastal Cabana ink in right bottom corner. Adhere to inside of card. Adhere a large Flat Adhesive Pearl to the clam.

Dainty Delight Card

February 23, 2023February 22, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s card features the Dainty Delight bundle and the pretty Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper that you can earn for free with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration. I love it when the DSP does most of the work for you! There are two sheets of floral wreaths that can be cut down to card size, which is what I used as the focal point.

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of the Dainty Flowers DSP with the Fresh Freesia and white polka dot print at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
Cut a floral wreath at 3 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ from the sheet of wreaths and adhere to card front.
Cut a piece of Old Olive cardstock at 4 1/2″ x 5 1/4″. Cut a piece of adhesive sheet to the same size and adhere the sheet to the cardstock. Run the piece through a die cutting machine two times with the long leaf sprig die from the Dainty Delight Dies. Pull adhesive backing off the die cuts and adhere the sprigs to both side of the wreath.
Die cut two daisies from a scrap piece of Crushed Curry cardstock. Die cut two flower centers with a scrap piece of Soft Suede cardstock. Adhere flower centers to daisies with a small dot of liquid glue. Adhere daisies to right side of wreath.
For the center greeting piece, cut a piece of Basic White cardstock at 1 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ and run through die cutting machine with the smallest of the rectangle-shaped dies from the Something Fancy Dies. Stamp greeting with Rich Razzleberry ink. The greetings that are in the stamp set didn’t fit the label so I used the birthday greeting from the Season of Chic stamp set, which was a perfect fit! Adhere to center of wreath with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Embellish with a large Brushed Brass Butterfly.

Happy Valentine’s Day

February 14, 2023February 14, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Wishing you a very Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you get to celebrate in a fun way! Here are the cards we made in my in-person classes last month. I ran three classes at my home. The fourth class was held for residents at St. Peter’s Apartments in Columbia, PA and was promoted by the local public library. All of the cards feature the Country Lane Floral Suite in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. I’ve been so busy that I had to hastily photograph them. Please excuse the not-so-great quality of the photos. I cased two of the cards from catalog. No instructions today – just photos!

Black and Pink Country Bouquet Card

January 30, 2023January 30, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today’s card uses the Country Bouquet Bundle, however, I created this card with a totally different look by using my favorite Valentine’s Day colors-black, pink, and a touch of red-rather than using the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Papers. I had fun making this card and was happy that it came out looking like what I had visualized!

Here is how I made the card.

Card base – cut a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock at 4″ x 5 1/4″ and run through a die cutting machine with the Split Card Textures Die. Cut a piece of Polished Pink Designer Series Paper at 2 7/8″ x 5 1/4″. I used a sheet from the 2021-2023 In Color 6″ x 6″ DSP that I had from the 2021-2022 annual catalog, which is now retired so you can use the DSP from the 2022-2023 annual catalog. Adhere to back of black die cut piece with liquid glue.
Stamp the greeting from the Country Bouquet stamp set towards the bottom of the black die cut piece with Versamark ink and heat emboss with white embossing powder. The white embossing powder is no longer sold separately. It is now included in the Basics Stampin’ Emboss Powder set, which also includes black and clear powders.
Stamp nine hearts from the Country Bouquet stamp set with Flirty Flamingo, Polished Pink, Blushing Bride, and Sweet Sorbet or Real Red inks on piece of Basic White cardstock and punch out with the coordinating Country Bouquet Punch. Stamp both the large and small hearts, which will be used on the inside of the card.

Arrange the hearts along the split line on the black die cut piece, overlapping them in different directions. When you like how it looks, adhere with liquid glue. Adhere piece to the card front

Stamp greeting with Polished Pink ink on inside of card. Randomly adhere a few of the smaller hearts that were punched out along with the large hearts.

Abigail Rose Suite Cards

January 16, 2023January 16, 2023 | Rhonda Kleiman

Hello!

Today I have two cards for you, both using the lovey Abigail Rose Suite in the annual catalog. Sadly, I’ve had to make four sympathy cards between Christmas and New Year’s Day. For some reason, I never seem to get around to using this suite so I decided to finally break it open. While I was at it, I needed to make a birthday card for a friend so made two cards with the suite as well.

Here is how I made this sympathy card.

Card base – Cut a piece of Petal Pink cardstock at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
Cut a piece of the Petal Pink stripe paper from the Abigail Rose Designer Series Paper at 4″ x5 1/4″ and adhere to card front.
Cut a piece of DSP with the script on the Early Espresso background at 2 7/8″ x 4 3/8″. Lightly color in the flowers with the light and dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends. Color the stems with the light Mint Macaron Stampin’ Blend. Adhere to a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock cut at at 3″ x 4 1/2″.
Cut a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock at 1 3/4″ x 3″. Stamp sympathy greeting from the Something Fancy stamp set from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog with Early Espresso ink. Run through die cutting machine with a label from the Something Fancy Dies.
Cut a piece of Natural 1/2″ Woven Ribbon at 12″. Wrap around tulip piece and tie in a knot on the left side. The ribbon is from the now-retired July-December 2022 Holiday Catalog. If you don’t have this ribbon you can substitute it with something else in your stash. Adhere greeting over the ribbon. Adhere the tulip piece to front of card.

Here is how I made this birthday card.

Cut a piece of Early Espresso cardstock at 4 1/4″ x 11″, score at 5 1/2″, fold and crease with a bone folder.
