Gray Granite and Country Floral Embossing Folder for fast easy cards

  • Stampin' Up! Country Floral Embossing Folder
  • Story Label Punch
  • Two classes to choose from March 10, 2019

Stampin' Up! Gray Granite & Country Floral


Here's a fast, simple card that you can put together in minutes using the new Country Floral Embossing Folder and the Story Label Punch.   Make up a number of these base cards, then stamp a selection of different sentiments and add them to your stash of ready-to-go cards.  Then, you'll be ready for any last-minute greeting card needs.  

With all the new products introduced as part of the second and  third Sale-A-Bration release, my two favorites are these two items -- Country Floral Embossing Folder and the Story Label Punch.  They can be dressed up with very little effort or left plain and simple, like today's cards.  See the item numbers below and add them to your wish list today.   



The basecard for this card is Thick Whisper White.  Then a layer of Gray Granite.   Then a Layer of Whisper White dry embossed with the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder..     

  

Then, I cut a piece of the 1/2" Gray Granite Textured Weave Ribbon, which is a lightly textured ribbon with white stitched edges from the annual catalog.  This is a beautiful, warm shade of gray with a slight brownish undertone, matching the Gray Granite cardstock perfectly.        



The sentiments from this card was stamp using one stamps from the Humming Along and Climbing Roses stamp sets.  The sentiments were stamped in Gray Granite ink on Whisper White and then punched out using the Story Label Punch.

The mat around the Whisper White Label is Gray Granite Cardstock.  It was created by cutting the Gray Granite punched shape in half horizontally and then attaching it to the back of the Whisper White sentiment.

The sentiments are accented with Silver Metallic Pearls colored with Dark Gray Granite Blends Marker to match the card.

Time to join Stampin' Up!?  Final month for sign-up special


Today is a great time to join Stampin' Up! as a demonstrator.  Why?  Because today you can sign up for $99,and for your $99 starter kit, you can select $175 worth of Stampin' Up! products.  Then wait for your stampin' Up! Demo number -- which takes about 30 minutes -- and place the remaining items you have on your wish list at your Demonstrators discount of 20% plus earn free Sale-A-Bration Selections for each $50 or $100 ordered as a demonstrator.

If you sign up as a hobby demonstrator, there's no need to host parties or sell product.  You'll keep your discount by purchasing a minimum of $300 per quarter.  I'll bet you're already spending $100 a month on craft supplies, and you'll love the quality and variety of Stampin' Up! products and tools, and extra bonuses for being a stampin' up! Demonstrator -- like On Stage events, and early access to stamp sets and catalogs.   

Share the sign-up information with your crafty friends who might like to order $175 worth of Stampin' Up! products for only $99, too.



Put together your wishlist of $175 worth of products--personalized with just what YOU want.  This becomes your starter kit.  Host sets and Sale-A-Bration gifts are excluded.

You'll receive a 20% discount on additional demonstrator purchases through July 31 2019.  That means you'll be able to purchase from the new 2019-2020 annual catalog including the early catalog purchase period, only available to demonstrator in May, before the June catalog is released.

You'll have until July to reach your first $300 quarterly sales minimum and keep your demonstrator discount for July through September quarter, which means you'll purchase from the Holiday catalog at your demonstrator discount, too!    

This gives you time to build your hobby supplies with your 20% demonstrator discount, if you choose to be a hobby demonstrator, with no obligation to host workshops or sell products.  Or, this gives you time to grow your business if you decide to turn your hobby into a business.  If you decide to drop, there's never a penalty.  And you can join again, later.

Country Floral Embossing Folder and Introducing the Story Label Punch

  • Introducing the new Story Label Punch - available March 1
  • Country Floral Embossing Folder for fast, beautiful cards
  • Seats remain for March 3 Class Embossing Folders Technique class

Stampin' Up! Country Floral Embossing Folder


I can't stop using the new Country Floral Embossing Folder, and today, I've mixed it with a brand new Sale-A-Bration Coordination product that will be available tomorrow morning -- March 1-- the new Story Label Punch.  Haven't heard about the Sale-A-Bration Coordinating products yet?  Well, get set to heat up the Sale-A_Bration party, with new products that coordinate with select Sale-A-Bration items.  Visit my Stampin' Up! store tomorrow morning to see all of the new Sale-A-Bration Coordinating products.  And just one word or advice...if you see something you want, be sure to order it right away.  You've seen how fast the Stampin' Up! free selections have sold out this year.  You won't want to miss the opportunity to grab these wonderful, new products that will coordinate with the Sale-A_Bration items you've already ordered.  These new items will only be available until March 31, 2019...so don't wait.

Today I've created another card with the Country Floral Embossing Folder, the new Story Label Punch, and used four different colors of Blends Markers to create this colorful card.     



I used a basecard of Calypso Coral, dry embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder.  Then I added a layer of So Saffron.  Then I embossed a layer of Whisper White with Country Floral Embossing Folder.   




The embossed Whisper White background is colored with alcohol-based Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, and Highland Heather Blends Markers.  

Then, I created a heat-embossed sentiment layer using the new Story Label Punch (150076) (available March 1 - March 31).  Each card shows a different sentiment, as I wanted to show that this punch will fit many different size sentiments.  I punched one sentiment label out of Gorgeous Grape and another with Highland Heather.  The sentiments are from the Ribbon of Courage stamp set and from the Just Because stamp set.  Both were embossed with white embossing powder.   I cut the Gorgeous Grape punched label in half horizontally, and glued it to the back of the Highland Heather layer as a mat.          

  


I added a piece of Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped Ribbon under the punched label and added Dimensionals to the back of the sentiment piece before layering it on top of the ribbon.

You're sure to find lots of uses for the new Stampin' Up! Story Label Punch and the Country Floral Embossing Folder as you coordinate your cards with your new Occasions and Sale-A-Bration items...including the new Sale-A-Bration Coordinating items being introduced March 1.  Be sure to visit my store to see all of these new items and place your order for these limited-time items while they last.  Place a $50 order for coordinating items, and pick the Country Floral Embossing Folder as your free Sale-A-Bration selection from the Sale-A-Bration Brochures.
