Let’s use some new punches

 How do the “builder” punches work, you ask.  So many shapes in one punch, how do you get the different colors?  Watch this video and find out. I’ll show you the cherry builder and the little monkey builder punches in action. 

 Some Easter cards with the sweet bunny stampset and punch and a z fold card.

Then the Desert bundle makes a stunning birthday card.  

Gatefold Card using Dainty Delight

 

This beautiful card uses a new stamp set from the January-June mini catalog called Dainty Delight.  It also features the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper which you can get for FREE in January/February with any $50 purchase (not including tax and shipping). 

 This is an unusual fold and works nicely with lots of different papers.  Here are the instructions:

Basic white –      5 ½ X 4 ¼ (back base)

                              8 X 4 ¼ - score at 2” and 6” (Gate fold layer)

                              3 ½ X 3 ¾ (inside layer)

 Designer Series Paper #1  -          5 3/8 x 4 1/8 – Glue this to the white back base

Coordinating cardstock strip  5 ½ X 2 – wrap ribbon on linen thread around this and tie in a bow on the right side, then center on the base and attach.

 Designer Series Paper #2  Cut four strips 1 7/8 X 4 1/8 – glue to the front openings and inside openings.

 Decorate the inside layer however you’d like and attach.  I used a stamp from the Dainty Delight stampset and colored the different flowers using Stampin Write markers, then give it a “huff” and stamp it.  That is how you get the different colors on one stamp.  Do not use Stampin Blends for this – because they are alcohol based, they won’t work and they’ll stain your stamp. 

 Cut two pieces for the strip in the front (I used sparkle paper) ¾” x 2 ½ and ¾ x 2.  The longer piece goes on the left side.  Glue to about 1/4” from the edge and use a piece for a greeting that will “catch” the other side and hold it down. 

 You can watch the u tube video on my channel “NetteP Stampin” or the tape of the facebook live

dated December 28, 2022 if you get hung up on any of the instructions.

                     

If you didn’t get the mini catalog or the Sale-A-Bration catalog, let me know and I’ll get one out to you.  Or check out my online store at NetteP.stampinup.net   click "shop".  

 These are made using the awesome Flowering Fields suite.  I used the dies in the Tulip Fields bundle to make the windmill and all the tulips at the bottom.  They are attached to a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of white cardstock that has been colored with a blending brush. I used pear pizzaz and balmy blue for the background colors.

The photo below shows the stamps and a windmill stamped in espresso on so saffron cardstock.  With the designer series paper in the suite.

 

Hello Friends!  There’s lots going on this month at NetteP Stamping and Stampin’ Up.

December Host Code:  RV4H6WK9  please use this code if your order is under $150.  Thanks!

Clearance Rack Refresh:  Go to my on-line store at Nettep.stampinup.net and click on “shop now”, then go to the upper left corner and look for the sales and specials tag.  There are a lot of items recently added including some punches, embossing folders, stamp sets, dies, ribbons, and embellishments.

Last Chance:  While you are at my on-line store, check out the last chance items.  These are items from the June to December Mini-catalog that are be discontinued – many are being offered at discounted prices.  They won’t be in future catalogs, so if you love one of these and don’t have it – grab it quick.  If you can’t get on-line and need me to send you a PDF of the last chance items, send me an email and I’ll get it to you.

Facebook Live:  Sorry I threw some of you a curve ball by changing the time for my facebook live.  Wednesday night at 7:30 is the regular time and will be for Dec 8, 15, and 29.  However, December 22 will be changed.  I’m going to go with Tuesday night 12/21 at 7:30 that week.  Have mercy… it is my birthday and my dear hubby is taking me to Sight and Sound theater that day and then out for dinner so I have to change the date.

Speaking of Facebook Live – here are the instructions for this weeks project, the pop out Christmas card.  This is such a cool card, with a neat little surprise when you open it.  Don’t save it only for Christmas, though.  You could use this design any time you have some nice DSP and small punched items or die cuts.

Christmas Pop Out Card

Cardstock base:  8 ½ X 5 ½ scored at 4 ¼    And a strip 8 ½ X 1 (you may prefer to do this in white)

Cardstock mat in a coordinating color:  4 X 5 ¼  Use this color for the background for the sentiment stamp.  I cut these using the stitched so sweetly dies.  Cut the smaller one in white.

Designer Series Paper: 3 ¾ X 5

Cut out 5 items all the same, with either punch or dies.  (I used trees for the first card and deer for the second)

Glue the DSP to the mat and glue to base.  Stamp sentiment on white tag and glue to colored tag.  Attach this to the front with dimensionals  and glue on the deer.

Score your 1 inch strip at 2 1/8, 4 ¼, and 6 3/8.

Stamp the inside of the card with whatever you wish.  If you want to put a piece of white inside to stamp on, glue that in now. 

Glue one end of the 1 inch strip about a half inch to an inch from the edge on one side.  Fold the strip so the center fold lines up with the center fold of the card and glue the other end where it meets the card.  Glue your die cut pieces in each section as pictured in the cards above.

 

Stamp With Me:  Last Saturday, I held a zoom where four women joined me and we all worked on different projects and just chatted and shared tips and stuff.  We all enjoyed the time together and learned from each other.  They asked if we could do it again, so I thought I’d try to do it in January.  I’m going for Saturday January 15^th from 10:00 am to Noon.  I’d love for you to join me.  Send me an email if you are interested and I’ll send you the sign on code.  Hope to get together with you on Jan. 15^th.

See you all next week, hope you are getting your Christmas cards finished.

Happy Stamping!

Annette

Quick and Easy Card and Lots of News

 

Hello Stampers!

It has been a while and I apologize for the delay in posting.  There is a lot of new stuff happening.

First - a new Annual Catalog will go live on May 3.  They are being mailed out as we speak, so if you didn't get yours by the end of April, let me know and I'll see that you get one.  I ordered lots of extras this time since last time we were cursed with one delay after another.

I  show the cover in the video, but I can't show the inside to you until May.  New "In-Colors" are out as well and I'll show them to you in the video at the bottom of this page.   I think they are beautiful and since I tend to love the florals and these colors are perfect for florals I seem to be drawn to them.  

Shout outs to Karen, hope you heal extra super quick and to Linda for keeping after me to get a video posted!  Nice to know you missed me.

This is a perfect time to book a party.  It doesn't have to be large - two or three friends that would like to stamp with you.  I'm fine with social distancing and mask wearing.  If you have a kitchen table that you can fit a few people around, a small party is good.  You'll have lots of fun and you'll come away with at least two cards that you made with new catalog items.

In addition to the regular perks of being a hostess, getting free stuff based on orders, I'll give you an extra $10 credit toward anything in the catalog just for having me do a demo.  I'll give the hostess another $10 credit if someone books a party at her show.  This is good for parties in May and June.  I will travel for parties, no worries, you don't live too far away.  Well, maybe if you live in another state - except New Jersey, I'll be doing a party in New Jersey soon.

I'm going to do a Facebook Live at Noon on Wednesday, April 21 so tune in if you can.  It will be on the Nettep Stamping facebook page and if you can't tune in at noon, I believe you can watch it later, I just won't be on to chat.  Hope you can join me.

The host code is YGHTZR3X.  This will change on the 25th of April and I'll be sure to get you a new one then.  Only use this code for orders under $150.

Color Three Ways using Hydrangea Haven for Stampin’ Up!

 Hello Stampers!

This video is giving ideas for alternative ways to color your stamped items. The first is obviously filling in with a shaded stamp (two step stamping).  But what if you don’t have the color ink you want to fill in?   I’m going to show you how to finish your project using stamping blends, or watercolor pencils and a blender pen.  

This video focuses on adding color, the next one will finish the project.

Just a quick video and I’d love to hear from you.  Really - share any storage or organization tips you have in the comments here or on the Facebook “very important stampers” page.

Kit Class using Flower and Field is Here! February host code.

 Hello stampers!  

I had some requests to make kits for the floral cards in my last post, so here you go!  

You can make these in a kit class.  Everything you need except glue, stamps, and ink is included.

You need to supply the greetings.  If you don’t already have stamps sets with greetings,  I suggest you take a look at Art Gallery for some nice sentiments.  

I’m also working out the details for another kit class using Hydrangea Haven stamp set, and that has lots of nice sentiments so take a look at that.

Details for the class:  You get supplies for eight cards of assorted colors and styles (I choose), you will also get the envelopes with paper cut to make the flap pretty.    Cost is $15.00 for pick up here, add $4.50 for postage if you need me to mail it to you.  These are pretty. Cards suitable for many different occasions and some of the colors make them suitable for men as well.

Order by sending me a text or email.  You can send me a check or PayPal (for a friend, please, so they don’t charge me), or pay when you pick up.  

I’m making several, but I’m limited with the paper, so when I run out I can’t make any more.  

Stay tuned for the next kit class using the beautiful Hydrangea Haven papers!  

DON’T FORGET Sale-a-Bration only goes until February 28th this year so if there is anything in that brochure you want, get your orders in soon.  Items in the mini catalog are available until June 30.

Host Code for February is:  Q43DCSFW
