I created a card recently with the new Ocean Friends Bundle and Soft Waves Embossing Folder (products that will be debuting in the upcoming January-April 2025 Mini Catalog – request your copy if you haven’t done so already) and shared it in an exclusive demonstrator event hosted by fellow demonstrator, Kevin Theesen. I wanted to share it with all of you, too. But many of you are not fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrators and still need to wait until January 7th before you can order these new products.
So I also created a couple similar cards using the same sort of base products and colors but with featured stamps, dies, and embossing folders that are current and available now. These two other cards show off some fun inking techniques that you can do with our water-based Stampin’ Write Markers. And all of the cards feature a fun background you can get with Wink of Stella and Spritzers.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these Full Panel Z-Fold cards with the Sophisticated Sled, Beauty of the Deep, and Ocean Friends Bundles. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, and then let me know if you have any questions.
