We have a fun new bundle of products in the Online Exclusives… The Simply Sparkling Stamp Set and Dies. I paired this bundle of products together with some items that will be debuting on January 4th in Stampin’ Up!’s Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalog to make some fun and trendy greeting cards!
With the Silver Foil Specialty Paper recently sold out and the Holographic Specialty Paper currently unavailable in the US market, I decided to look into other ways to create a metallic look for the soda/pop can images. One way is to color creatively with Stampin’ Blends alcohol-based markers. And another way is to add Enamel Effects (a big thank you to fellow Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, Kylie Bertucci for sharing her fun Simply Sparkling cards recently that encouraged me to play around with the effects).
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating these metallic effects with these fun Stampin’ Up!® product. 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.

I learned a creative fun fold card from my friend Alanna Wharf. It’s called a Back Fold Card, because the card folds back to allow the front to open. So I thought I would share more new products debuting in the Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalog and demonstrate this fold for you today.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this card (three versions of it!) with the Ice Cream Swirl Stamp Set, Ice Cream Swirl Dies, Lighter Than Air Designer Paper, Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots, Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack, and other coordinating Stampin’ Up!® product.

CRAFT FOR A CAUSE & SUPPORT OUR COMMUNITIES Stampin’ Up!’s product giveback program has been featuring A Walk in the Forest Designer Series Paper (item 162377) which is retiring soon. For every paper pack sold, SU will donate $3 to Toys for Tots. Let’s make a difference together!
ALL STAR VIDEO CLASSES I’m a designer with the All Stars, a group of globally recognized Stampin’ Up! demonstrators. And we are excited to share exclusively with our customers, paper crafting friends & team members our December 2023 Garden Walk Suite Video Class Bundle which is now available.

Option #3 – The Virtual Delicate Forest Class is now available. (Class options #1, #2 and #4 are no longer available.)
Delicate Forest is a beautiful new stamp set & die bundle from page 17 of the Jan-April 2024 Mini Catalog which debuts January 4th. Alanna and I both fell in love with it when we saw it, and decided it would be perfect for our next Class-To-Go! The silhouette imagery, the kind sentiments, and the unique and stunning dies really made our creative wheels spin.
Once again, I’ve partnered with fellow demonstrator Alanna Wharf so we can offer our product-based Class-To-Go to even more crafters. She is a Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator from Canada and can service those in that country for the product-based class offerings. I’m a demonstrator from the United States and can service those in the US for the product-based class offerings. Yay!! (If you live out of the US and Canada, you may purchase option #3, the Virtual Delicate Forest Class from either one of us when it becomes available mid-January.)
Alanna Wharf has amazing talent. She’s been a part of Stampin’ Up!’s Artisan Design Team AND is once again on that very select team for 2024! You can see her artwork & talent when you visit her blog and her Instagram account (for more recent creations). We connected many years ago at a SU event, and have been good friends since. Our Textured Floral Class-To-Go was a huge hit, so we are super excited for this one (AND for more in the future)!
Just like that last class (and my Layering Leaves Class-To-Go last May and June) the formatting makes the experience similar to a mini crafting retreat. It includes great product (stamps, dies, designer paper, embellishments, etc.), access to instructional videos, informative PDFs, and prepared make-n-take materials all delivered straight to you.
AND you can set aside time to create that works into YOUR schedule.
To give participants more sentiment options, we’ve also added in imagery from the Heartfelt Hellos stamp set, a free Sale-a-Bration product also debuting January 4th.
This is what you’ll get in the Full Delicate Forest Class-To-Go option:
Supplies for 6 make-n-takes cards (including 3 cards with unique folds)
A PDF with photos, instructions, supply lists, and measurements (in both imperial and metric) for each of the six beautiful cards
Video instructions with tips & tricks for each project
The Heartfelt Hellos Stamp Set & a quarter pack of Flight & Airy Designer Paper as our bonus gifts
The Delicate Forest Bundle which includes the stamp set and coordinating dies
And all shipped to you in a Priority Padded Flat Rate Envelope
All of this has a value of around $155 US. But I’m able to offer it to you at a lower rate, and I’m making the Sale-a-Bration product gifts, the instructions (videos and written), and the shipping all free!
Already have the bundle? I have other sign up options to offer flexibility for what works for you...
Here are all the class options in US pricing…
(To get the Canadian pricing options, click here. Those who live in Canada may purchase the product-based class options through Alanna.)

Video and PDF instructions will be emailed (use your preferred email address when you register) to registrants the day I mail the packets – January 18th. And because there is no scheduled Live or Zoom, the Class-To-Go kit will be available to complete at a time that works for you. Just open the PDF and/or click on the video links to follow the directions for each project as you create.
Sometimes products become unavailable. If this happens when it’s time for me to order supplies, shipping delays or substitutions may occur.
Per Stampin’ Up! rules/guidelines, I personally am only able to mail physical product to those who live in the United States. Because I’m partnering with Alanna Wharf, those who live in Canada may purchase a product-based class option from her. If you live out of the US and Canada, you may purchase option #3, the Virtual Delicate Forest Class from either one of us.
Please let me know if you have any questions. And thank you for considering this class.

I just LOVE the Textured Floral Stamps & Dies! In fact, I’ve teamed up with Canadian Stampin’ Up! demonstrator Alanna Wharf (Sleepless Stamper) and created a class-to-go with this bundle of products. So today I thought I’d share how to make a card using many of the same products that we’ll be using in that class.
I just showed live on YouTube and on Facebook about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating that card with the Textured Floral Stamp Set & Dies, Hello Irresistible Designer Paper, new glimmer paper debuting November 7th, Blending Brushes, and other coordinating Stampin’ Up!® product. 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.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

Measurements …
Basic White Thick Cardstock
5-1/2” x 8-1/2” scored parallel to short side at 4-1/4”
1” x 4-1/4”
Scraps for stamping and die-cutting flowers
Calypso Coral Cardstock
2-1/4” x 5-1/2”

3-1/2” x 4-3/4”
Hello Irresistible Designer Paper
2” x 5-1/2”
Three Color Glimmer Paper (Petal Pink)

Here are photos of the finished card I demonstrated in the video.
And here are photos of the other card I shared.
For this one I used Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, Pretty Peacock, and (on the inside…) Lost Lagoon Cardstock. I stamped the flowers in VersaMark ink onto Pretty Peacock Cardstock, added white embossing powder, and heat embossed. Iridescent White Ribbon takes the place of the glimmer paper. And it also provides the threads that are looped behind the flowers. The sentiment is stamped in Pretty Peacock ink.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared today!

I’ve partnered with fellow demonstrator, Alanna Wharf so that we can offer our product-based class-to-go to even more crafters. She is a Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator from Canada and can service those in that country for the product-based class offerings. And I’m a demonstrator from the US and can service those in the US for the product-based class offerings. Yay!! (If you live out of the US and Canada, you may purchase option #3, the Virtual Textured Floral Class from either one of us. )
Alanna Wharf has amazing talent! She’s been a part of SU’s Artisan Design Team and her artistic skills are evident when you visit her blog to see her artwork. Plus she is an awesome friend (we’ve known each other for a long time – met years ago at a Stampin’ Up! convention). I’m confident this collaboration will bring even more value to this event.
If you took my Layering Leaves Class-To-Go*** last May or June, then you’ll be happy to know that the formatting is going to be very similar for this Textured Floral Class-To-Go. It’s sort of a mini crafting retreat that includes great product (stamps, dies, embellishments), access to instructional videos, informative PDFs, prepared make-n-take materials, and more delivered straight to you. AND you can set aside a time to create that works into YOUR schedule.
***The Layering Leaves Class-To-Go sold out twice!…500 participants took the product based class options and hundreds more took (and are still purchasing) the virtual class option.
This is what you’ll get in the Full Textured Floral Class-To-Go option:
Supplies for 6 make-n-takes cards (including 4 cards with unique folds)
A PDF with photos, instructions, supply lists, and measurements (in both imperial and metric) for each of the six stunning cards
Video instructions with tips & tricks for each project
And all shipped to you in a Priority Padded Flat Rate Envelope
All of this has a value of around $155 US. But I’m able to offer it to you at a lower rate, and I’m making the gift, the instructions (videos and written), and the shipping all free!
Already have the bundle? I have other sign up options to offer flexibility for what works for you.
Here are all the class options in US pricing…
(To get the Canadian pricing options, click here. Those that live in Canada may purchase the product-based class options through Alanna.)

Includes everything listed above. The gift, video & PDF instruction, and the shipping are all free!
Only available to those who live in the United States
#2 – Basic Textured Floral Class-To-Go = $52.50**
Includes everything listed above except the Textured Floral Bundle. You will need the stamp set and dies to complete the cards as instructed, though. So chose this if you already own the Textured Floral Bundle or will be purchasing it on your own.
Only available to those who live in the United States.
#3 – Virtual Textured Floral Class = $29.00
Includes video & PDF instruction only.A great option for fellow Stampin’ Up!® demonstratorswho are not in my teamand for anyone who lives outside the United States or Canada.

**Once I receive your registration request form, I will send you an invoice as soon as I can. (Please allow up to 24 hours to see your invoice come through.) Then pay the invoice within 48 hours of registering to secure your spot. Your spot is not secured until your payment is made. Your spot may be offered to another if payment isn’t received within 48 hours of your registration. Registration Request forms will close on October 28th or when class is filled.Payments are due by October 29th at the latest. On October 30th I will order all supplies needed for paid participants.
Once I receive the products, I will cut, prepare, and package everything. I’m am planning to send out all class packets by November 13th with an estimated arrival in mailboxes around the 16th or 17th. Video and PDF instruction will be emailed out (use your preferred email address when you register) to registrants the day I mail the packets – November 13th. And because there is no scheduled Live or Zoom, the class-to-go kit will be available to complete at a time that works for you. Just open the PDF and/or click on the video links to follow the directions for each project as you create.
Sometimes products become unavailable. If this happens when it comes time for me to order supplies, shipping delays or substitutions may occur.
Per Stampin’ Up! rules/guidelines, I personally am only able to mail physical product to those who live in the United States. Because I’m partnering with Alanna Wharf, those that live in Canada may purchase a product-based class option from her. If you live out of the US and Canada, you may purchase option #3, the Virtual Layering Leaves Class from either one of us.
Please let me know if you have any questions. And thank you for considering this class.

This is a fun card that I wanted to demonstrate in video format for you all today, but it was too hard to fit that into my day. It’s the first day of a new catalog, and those first days are usually pretty busy for me helping my team and my customers. Plus it was the first day of school for my boys and our exchange student. We had things to prepare for last night, and coordinating everyone this morning was a bit of a challenge. But they all made it out the door in time! Yay.
Here is my Pop Out Standing Step Card that I made with the Zoo Crew Suite. This is what it looks like from the front.
And here it is standing. The two “step” sections in the front act as a base for the card.
Because this designer paper has a ton of critters, the variations of this card that you could make with this suite are endless!
Products I used… a complete list of products I used is shown below, and everything is linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements …
Basic Black Cardstock
4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″
1-1/4″ x 4-1/4″
1″ x 4″ scrap for die-cutting the scallop “top curtain”
Scraps for die-cutting the two side curtains
Basic White Cardstock
3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″
5/16″ tall strip
Distressed Gold Specialty Paper
3-1/2″ x 4″
Scrap for stamping and fussy-cutting tutu
Zoo Crew Designer Paper (black with white scallops)
4″ x 4-1/4″ scored parallel to the short side at 1/2″ (starting at the top of the design), 1-1/4″, 2-1/4″, 3″
6″ x 4-1/4″ scored parallel to the short side at 3/4″ (starting at the top of the design), 2-3/4″, 3-1/2″, 5-1/2″
Zoo Crew Designer Paper (dancing critters)
Scraps for fussy-cutting or die-cutting all six critters
Directions…
Prepare the pieces above. Add the gold paper to the top of the black base piece as shown. Connect the b&w designer paper pieces (with adhesive along the 1/2″ wide ends) to form steps. And add them at the bottom so they touch the bottom edge of the black base. Add the die-cut side curtains as shown. Then add the top scallop curtain with Dimensionals.
Attach the front black panel to complete the stage. Then add the critters. I added the back one with glue on the back of the legs and a Dimensional behind the head. I added the small front one with a Dimensional. The rest of the dancers are just glued in place with glue under the feet.
Embellish the card with the stars and pearls.
You can see here how the steps are connected.
So of course flattening the steps in an upward position will allow the card to fit into an envelope.
Next stamp the skirt of the leopard onto the scrap gold piece. And fussy-cut.
Stamp the leopard and the “You’re TOO wonderful” on the white layer.
Glue on the gold skirt.
Then hand-write “TUTU” on the white strip. Trim the excess and glue on over the “TOO”
Attach this layer to the back of the card.
Here is that photo of the front again. It’s such a fun card to make! I hope you enjoyed my idea.
By the way, the embellishments are new ones that just debuted today in the Sept-December 2023 Mini Catalog! Scroll down further and to the promotions section of this post to read about other new September 6th product releases.
