Hey everyone! I’m sorry I’ve been silent for a while. We built a house in 2020 and have been moving for the last couple of months. The movers wanted a crazy amount of money to move us, so we decided to save money and move ourselves a little at a time. It’s been a big job, but we have almost everything moved to the new house. We still have lots of unpacking to do, but things are beginning to get somewhat back to normal.

I hope to get back to regular blog posts in the next couple of weeks, but I had to pop on to tell you about Sale-a-bration. This is the best time of the Stampin’ Up! year as far as I’m concerned. It’s a chance for EVERYONE to earn FREE product.

During Sale-a-bration, beginning 5 January 2021, YOU can earn FREE product! For every $50 or $100 purchase, you can choose between two levels of FREE products from the Sale-a-bration brochure (see brochure link).

Hosting a party is an easy way to earn FREE products – it’s also fun! Place any party (or personal order) over $300 and receive the exclusive Punch Party Stamp Set for FREE! If you’d like to do a Facebook party, just let me know!

Have you ever thought about becoming a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator? There’s no better time to join than during Sale-a-bration, when demonstrators get special perks that you won’t see any other time of the year. Join during Sale-a-bration and get a FREE exclusive gift from the upcoming catalog – an assortment of five 6″x6″ stacks of our newest Designer Series Paper. I’d love to have you on my team!! If you’re interested, click on the Join My Team button.

Please note that there’s been a change in the ending date of Sale-a-bration. Instead of going through March like in the past, Sale-a-bration ends February 28th.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need more information on any of these.

Halloween Accordion Front Fun Fold

In my last post, I shared a Tri-Fold Twist card made with the Magic In This Night Suite. I thought I’d share another card I made using this DSP with another stamp set, Ghoulish Goodies.

This is an Accordion Front Fun Fold. It’s pretty easy and makes a cute card!

This is how the card looks when it’s completely closed, but it actually has two “insides”.

If you untie the ribbon, the front panel unfolds in an accordion style, with hidden panels to decorate.

But, the card also opens with a traditional “inside”! How fun is that?

Here’s the fixin’s:

Magic In This Night Tri-Fold Twist

Today, I want to share another Tri-Fold Twist card. I told you in my last post, that I’m addicted to this Fun Fold!

This card uses the Magic In This Night Suite. I absolutely love suites. My friend, Dawn, said you just can’t make a bad card when you’re using Stampin’ Up! supplies, and she is so right! You especially can’t go wrong when you’re using the suites. It just doesn’t get any easier to create beautiful projects!

The card is vertical (portrait) when closed, but it flips to horizontal (landscape) when opened! How fun is that?

Tri-Fold Twist Butterfly Gala

I am totally in love with this Fun Fold! This was actually the second card I made using this fold, but I have others to share with you.

This card uses the Butterfly Gala stamp set and coordinating punch, along with the Flower For All Seasons DSP.

When the card is folded, it is in a vertical (portrait) orientation.

But, when you open it, it twists into a horizontal (landscape) orientation. Isn’t that too cool!

Stay tuned for more cards made with this fun twist!

Freshly Brewed Projects – Trees

Today is Blog Hop Day with my friends from Australia. Our theme this week is Trees. I can’t wait to see what everyone creates!

For my project, I used the Most Wonderful Time Product Medley on page 7 of the August-December 2020 Mini Catalog.

I love the Medley because it includes SO MUCH coordinated product. Stamps, dies, DSP (Designer Series Paper), Trim, Embellishments. The only thing I had to add was the cardstock, ink and red jewels!

This photo shows the top of the card, so you can see how it’s constructed. This fold is called a Triple Cube Pop-Up, and I will be teaching it to my stampers soon during a Friday Fun Fold class on Zoom.

This is what the card looks like when it’s folded and ready to be mailed. It will fit in one of our regular medium envelopes! How cool is that!

I hope you enjoyed this project! Now, click on the links below to visit the ladies “down under” and see what they’re up to this week.

Double Dutch Door Gnomes

Last week, I taught a FREE Friday Fun Fold class to my stampers. We made a Double Dutch Door card. I used the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set for my sample.
