Hello ~ and welcome to my blog, Creative Card Closet.  My name is Lisa Brown and I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I love sharing projects and ideas with you, so let's get started. 

Today I will be sharing a cute project made with the Crafting With You Stamps and Dies.  But first, I wanted to tell you that Stampin' Up! is celebrating World Card Making Day on Saturday, October 5th from 4:00 - 5:00 EST.  You can sign up (no later than October 4th at 4:00 pm EST) to participate by click here: WCMD.    You will receive a link to join the 1-hour event.  Hope to see you virtually!

Now on to our project.  I recently was a vendor for a crafting crop weekend that I have been attending over the last several year.  I always provide a free make-n-take project.  Anyone who wanted to make this card could, and I offered them to make in any of the five 2024-2026 In Colors.  I prepped over 30 cards!

This is only showing the Summer Splash color option:

This is a great card as it combines several 2024-2026 In Color products:  *card stock    *inks    *6x6 designer series paper    *resin dots

The 6x6 DSP is cut to 3 x 5-1/2 (keep those scraps as I will share another project later this week).  Again, I prepped over 30 projects so I had a lot scrap pieces which gave me the idea for this card.  I just could not throw all those pieces away.  Are you like that?

I cut the rectangle piece using the Deckled Rectangle Dies, and from the white mat which is 3-1/2 x 5-1/2.

The ruler and scissors are silver foil which black card stock for the scissors handles.  

Super easy to create and everyone loved this card!

Hello ~ and welcome to my blog, Creative Card Closet.  My name is Lisa Brown and I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I love sharing projects and ideas with you, so let's get started. 

Today I'm sharing an amazing suite collection and TWO projects I created with it.  I love the jewel color tones of the designer paper, it is so lovely.  And so are the Regal Foil dots... I promise you will love them and the gold flecks in them.  The Suite Collection is call Regal Winter (click on link to see the suite). 

I created my first card, and have some left over pieces the, what I will call, the label die so I then created a second project.  

Card 1:  Blackberry Bliss

My picture certainly does not do Blackberry Bliss any justice but I do love this card.  Some quick dimensions for you:

• White mat:   3-1/4 x 5-1/4
• White strip:  3/4 x 3-1/4
• Designer Paper:  2 pieces are 1-1/2 x 2 and 2 pieces are 1-1/2 x 3

I cut the label in White and Gold Foil card stock.  When I did this, I saved the white inside and gold outside pieces to make another card...

Card 2:  Night of Navy

The Regal Winter DSP is cut to 4 x 5-1/4" and mounted on Thick White card stock base.  I stamped the white label piece in Pretty Peacock and Night of Navy.  I love the simplicity of this one.  I could have dressed up a little with the Regal Foiled dots for some bling. 

So don't throw those scraps or extra pieces out!  Make a different project with them.  Happy Stamping!

Hello ~ and welcome to my blog.  My name is Lisa Brown and I am here to share all things Stampin' Up! so lets get started.  

Today I am excited to share our New Scrapbooking Brochure.  If you love scrapbooking, you will love this; BUT... even if you don't scrapbook, and are strictly a card maker, this is for you too as it includes stamp sets!

Another reason I am excited about this is because of my background.  Without even knowing where I would be in life, as a little girl, I loved putting these books together.  Books with photos, notes, messages, cards I received or maybe a ticket of an event I attended.  I would write out my favorite song lyrics and decorate the page with music notes and pictures I would find in my teen magazine.  LOL!  I had No idea this was called scrapbooking.  I called it my memory book.  Fast forward to my adult like, when introduced to card making, I stuck with it for a few years until I realized Stampin' Up! use to have a scrapbooking line, and I switched my focus to that.  But then, I decided to become a Demonstrator and swapped my focus back to card making again.  So I am excited to now bring both together and be able to share everything with you. 

Here's my Top 5 Things that I am loving about this brochure:

• products coordinate with Stampin' Up! colors like Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso and SO many more!
• Workshop Kit:  this is a collection of multiple items like printed paper, stickers, solid papers and more
• introduction of 2-tone cardstock and Willow White cardstock
• kits can have coordination with other Stampin' Up! catalog items which is marked in the Scrapbooking Brochure
• kits make multiple double layout pages (i.e. three double-page layouts)

As always, please reach out to me if you have any questions on product or placing an order:  [email protected]

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!

Hello ~ and welcome to my blog, Creative Card Closet.  My name is Lisa Brown and I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.  I love sharing projects and ideas with you, so let's get started. 

Let's actually get started with a question.  What is a "Hybrid Bundle"?  This is a bundle that includes a stamp set, coordinating dies, and a coordination Hybrid 3D embossing folder.  In this case, it is the Changing Leaves 3D (so the thick kind) embossing folder.  To use, you open the embossing folder, line up your dies with folder, add your paper and when you run through your machine, it embosses and die cuts all in one shot!

For this 1st project (yes, there's 2 today), I took a quarter sheet of Very Vanilla card stock and randomly put Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive ink all over the front with my Blending Brushes.  I then used the 3D embossing folder and dies to cut out the leaves.  SAVE THAT NEGATIVE PIECE TO USE ON NEXT CARD. 

I do have to say, I could have gone a little bit darker on my colors but I still love how this turned out. 

Project 2:  I used that quarter sheet of Very Vanilla (the negative piece) from above, and used as a stencil.  Again, using my Blending Brushes and same ink colors, I blending colors onto a piece of Basic White card stock.  Then I ran through the Changing Leaves Hybrid 3D embossing folder. 

This look is so cool!  Use other 3D embossing folders to get different looks. 

If you missed my previous post, another Changing Leaves card, you can check that out HERE.
