Stampin' Up! Delivers the Goods!

Did you enjoy your Canada Day Celebrations yesterday?  What beautiful weather we had in the Okanagan Valley!  We had a lovely evening BBQ at some friends and a Canadian trivia contest, which our team tied for first place!  I just have a quick post for you with a special offer from Stampin' Up! during July.  Stampin' Up! is really delivering the goods - the paper goods that is!

For the month of July, if you purchase 3 packages of Designer Series Paper, you can get one pack for FREE!  That is so awesome, because the Designer Series Paper this year is so beautiful.  And, come on, you can never have too much paper, right?

Here are the packs you can choose from:

• Here's a little card I designed for my Technique Night Class this week.  I used the Lullaby Designer Series Paper and the Something for Baby Stamp Set for the onsie on the front.  The sentiment was from Itty Bitty Banners, and was die cut with the coordinating framelits called Bitty Banners Framelits.
• It uses the Building Block Pop Up Technique, so you have to see the inside.  It looks like this:

• The card has a liner so that the little cubes can pop up but the cut away part won't show.  I used my Stampin' Trimmer to cut all the pop ups.  The liner measures 5 1/4" x 8 1/4", scored at 4 1/8".  I made 1 1/2" cuts all along the folded edge of the liner at 1/4", 1 1/4", 1 1/2" 2 1/2", 2 3/4", 3 3/4, 4" and 5",.  I scored at the ends of the cuts on both sides, then folded the 1" sections into mountain folds and the 1/4" sections into valley folds.
• I used the Postage Stamp Punch to punch out 2 of each colour "postage stamps" - Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Pistachios Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe.  
• I used the Little Letters Thinlits dies to cut out the letters for the boxes, in the same colours.
• The inside sentiment is from Something to Say, a very versatile little stamp set.

Hooray for Blendabilities!

Finally, it's here!  The day that Stampin' Up!  Blendabilities alcohol markers are available for YOU, the customer!  Here's what you can order:

 Customers will be able to order a limited selection of colours plus the colour lifter, and Skin Tones along with the Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad and refill.  The colours available to the customers are Cherry Cobbler, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, and Rich Razzleberry!

Each color comes in three shades together in one pack:  light, medium and dark.

            

To celebrate and demonstrate what you can do with Blendabilities, I came up with the fancy-fold card above.  I am also using this sample for my Technique Nights this week, which just happen to have a fancy fold theme, and entering The Paper Players Challenge #202!

This fun challenge is a tic tac toe challenge where you must complete a row or column of card elements.  I picked the first column with elements of ribbon or twine, Thank You sentiment and any shade of pink.

• This  card uses a technique called either an Upright Diamond Fold technique or a Spring Card.  There is a great tutorial on Dawn Griffith's blog.
• This card can also hold a gift card or some money:

• I used the I Like You Hostess stamp set and the Lots of Thanks stamp set for the images and sentiments on this card.  The I Like You set is perfect for using the Stampin' Blendabilities Markers, but you need to earn Hostess Rewards in order to get it.  Contact me to find out how.
• I used several Blendability sets on this card:  Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive, Coastal Cabana and Daffodil Delight.  I find it remarkably soothing to colour the images in.  You can find several how-to videos on the Stampin' Up! website.  As you will note, there are several different ways you could use them, all equally beautiful.  I am planning a video soon to show you what I have learned, but you can see how forgiving these markers are and how easy they are to use.  I predict you are going to have BIG FUN with them for sure!
• This card when folded flat can fit in a regular envelope:
