Beautifully Detailed Laser Cut Specialty Paper

Stampin' Up! Laser-Cut Specialty Paper

I so happy when I find products form the annual catalog that work with items from other catalogs, specifically, the current Occasions Catalog.  Today I paired the Beautifully Detailed Laser-Cut Specialty Paper with one of my all-time favorite paper packs, the Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper.  The specialty Laser Cut Paper is Petal Pink on one side and white on the other side.  And I love that there are 4 sheets of 2 different designs -- 8 sheets total, which means I can make multiple cards using these laser-cut papers.  You'll love the delicate looks you'll create with this lovely Specialty Paper.   







The basecard for today's card is Petal Pink.  Then a layer of Mossy Meadow.  The I die cut a rectangle so the stitching highlights the Laser-Cut Design.  On the opposite side, I added a piece of Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper.      

  

The sentiment is stamped in Mossy Meadow.  I tried it on both Very Vanilla and on Whisper White to see which I preferred. You can see both sentiments below.  I'm still not sure which I like better.  The sentiment uses the Label Me Pretty Stamp Set.  The two images are stamped individually and then punched out using the Pretty Label Punch and the center is punched out using a 1-1/4" circle punch.               



The ribbon at the bottom of the card is tied in a double bow.  It is the Petal Pink/Whisper White 5/8" Variegated Ribbon from the Occasions catalog.  This ribbon is currently out of stock but it is expected to be back in stock by April 15 so you can add it to your order and it will ship to you separately as soon as it arrives.  This card can be dressed up or dress down based on the sentiment you choose to add.  Send someone a card you've hand made today to let them know how special they are to you.

Your Space, Your Way.

Stampin' Up! just launched Storage by Stampin' Up!.  And now you can design your stamping storage space any way you want using the modular storage solutions that lets you customize and organize your space your way.



Storage by Stampin' Up! Q & As

Q.  Will old design Stampin' Pads fit in the Ink Pad & Marker Storage Tray
A.  No.  The Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays are designed to fit the new-design Stampin' Pads only

Q.  How high can I stack storage trays?
A.  We stacked up to 50 storage trays without any issues.  BUT we would not recommend stacking that high.  While our Storage by Stampin' Up! products are sturdy, the higher you stack them, the less stable they'll become.  Use your discretion when stacking

Q.  Can I mount my Storage by Stampin' Up! products on the wall?
A.  Our modular storage products are designed to sit on a table (or similar flat surface)

Q.  How should I use the Open Storage Cube?
A.  The Open Storage Cube can be used to hold any miscellaneous items like ribbon, embellishments, and small punches.  For more inspiration on ways to use items from our Storage by Stampin' Up! product line, check out the configuration chart we created, below.

Q.  Can I mix and match Storage by Stampin' Up! products?
A.  Yes!  Our Storage by Stampin' Up! products are modular and designed with customization in mind.  Take a look at the dimensions on my online store for each item in our new modular storage product line.

Q.  Do I need a Storage Lid for each 5-tray stack?
A.  No.  The Storage Lid covers the top of Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays,  Stampin' Blends Storage Trays, and Open Storage Cubes, so you need only one per storage configuration.

Q.  Are Storage by Stampin' Up! products free-standing or stacked?
A.  Both.  We designed these modular storage products to be free-standing and stackable, so you can customize your crafting space to work best for you.

Q.  Will there be expansions to the Storage by Stampin' Up! product line in the future?
A.  Like all of our product offerings, we hope Storage by Stampin' Up! will be successful and expand.  However, at this point in time, we can't guarantee any additional modular storage products in the future.

A.  Are there any Storage by Stampin' Up! bundles available?
A.  We are not currently offering any bundles for items from our Storage by Stampin' Up! product line.  If you're looking for examples on how to mix and match our storage pieces together, please take a look at the configuration chart we put together and provided for download, below.

A.  How many Stampin' Ink Refills can I store in the Storage Topper?
A.  You can store up to 20 Stampin' Ink Refills (or other small items) in the Storage Topper.

Q.  Are ink pads difficult to remove from Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays?
A.  No When you insert an ink pad into a storage tray, a small portion of the ink pad will stick out.  We designed it that way, so your ink pads will be both secure and easy to access.

Q.  Can I buy individual Ink Pad & Marker Storage Trays and/or Stampin' Blends Storage Trays?
A.  No  Both of these items include a set of five white plastic trays.  Please use the configuration chart, below, to determine how many storage units you need.

A.  Our modular storage products are made with white, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic, which is a lightweight and durable material.

Stampin' Up! You're Inspired Stamp Set

  • Make a variety of cards using the sentiments in You're Inspired Stamp Set
  • Storage by Stampin' Up! is now available to order

Stampin' Up! You're Inspired

When I pulled out this stamp set to make a card last week, I remembered how much I loved this set.  I just had to make another card with the You're Inspired stamp set.  Each of the sentiments in this set works so well.  I'm making Easter Cards and Thinking-of-You cards for my card stash so I have them ready to use whenever I need them.  You'll love working with this set too.   







The basecard for today's card is Daffodil Delight.  The front of the Daffodil Delight is dry embossed with the Basket Weave Embossing Folder.  Then a layer of Whisper White and another layer of Daffodil Delight.  The image layer is Whisper White.     

  

The image is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then colored with Daffodil Delight Blends and Old Olive Blends.  The sentiments are stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink, also.             



DThe ribbon is the 1/4" Daffodil Delight Double Stitched ribbon.  I tied a small bow using Linen Thread onto one side of the ribbon.  The entire image layer is popped up on Dimensionals.  If you already have the stamp set, pull it out and use it to make bright, cheerful Spring cards.  Someone you know would enjoy receiving a card from you today.
