Resourceful Rusty Flip Flap Card

I have a really fun interactive card to share today! This one features the Resourceful Rusty Stamp Set.  This was released in our last Online Exclusives release and it's super fun!  I love the scenes you can create with this guy.  It's the perfect set for making some cards of encouragement.  I decided to pair this stamp set with some of our Flip Flaps to make a really fun interactive card.

If you don't know about our Flip Flaps they are most commonly used in scrapbooking to add additional pictures or journaling but why not use them on a card. They're a clear envelope that has adhesive on the top.  I filled my Flip Flaps with the images and then adhered them to my card.

I love the journey through Rusty's frustration and would love to receive this card at a challenging time.  It's such a fun encouragement card. I used the 3" x 3" Flip Flaps, they also come in three other sizes for use in scrapbooks or cards. I used watercolor pencils and a water painter to color my images.

Poppin' By Bundle Sneak Peek!

We have some really exciting products coming soon not only in our new Annual Catalog but also in a new Online Exclusives Lauch.  This bundle is going to be one of the new Online Exclusives.  I'm super excited about this bundle!  When I first saw the Poppin' By Bundle I immediately thought about a popcorn slider.  They're so quick and easy to make and they make pretty affordable treats.  I've made another version last year with the Tune In Bundle you can check that out here, plus a video making it.

This bundle has some pretty adorable elements to it, like cute images and puns, to adorable die cuts like those tiny shoes and 3-D glasses!  LOVE!!!  I'm also using some new DSP on this project.  The Turtle-y Cute DSP will be in the new Annual Catalog.  The stripes were perfect for this project.  In addition our new Darling Duckling Color is perfect for buttered popcorn.  To check out how to make this slider check out the link above to my older Tune In project.  I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for some of the products today, the DSP and bundle will be released on May 6, 2025.  Add them to your wishlist now.

The featured embellishment this week is my favorite-Linen Thread!  Receive an entire package FREE when your order is over $150.

I completely love this card.  If you don't have the stamp set I have a few thoughts on how to create this card using the dies.  You could die cut lots of books in different colors with the book die, simply cut off the spine and stack them on bookshelves.  You might only get two shelves instead of three, since the die is larger than the stamp, it would still be an AMAZING card!  You could also die cut a stack of books in white then color the spines if you wanted that colored look as in the card below.  If you have the stamp set, this card is so much fun to make with all the stamping and coloring.  I used a rainbow assortment of Stampin' Blends, all the colors are linked in the supply list below.

The first card is soooo pretty!  I LOVE the rainbow books!  My favorite part of these dies is the little tassel die.  It's so fun on a project.  This card will require extra postage and possible a padded envelope if you mail it.

NEW Stampin' Rewards NOW Available!

I'm excited to announce that today Stampin' Up! has launched their NEW rewards program.  This one is easy and EVERYONE can participate!

In our previous program Stampin' Rewards were available for orders over $150, either individual orders or group orders.  Today all that has changed and everyone, yes EVERYONE, will get to earn their own Stampin' Rewards!  The new program will allow rewards to be earned on every order over $20.  I don't know about you but I don't think I've ever placed an order under $20.  You'll earn 10% of your order and it will be banked into your rewards.  You can save them-maybe you've been eyeing that beautiful Stampin' Cut and Emboss Machine or, you can use them on your next order.  

This is a much simpler program then we currently have.  No more remembering to add a host code.  No more gathering friends orders to earn benefits.  Simply shop and earn! 

Example: You spend $100, you've now banked $10 in your rewards account.  Next time you order you can either use that $10 reward or save it and keep adding to it.  They're there when you're ready to spend them.  


Here's some more bullet points to the program.  
  • You must have a Stampin' Up! Online Store account to opt in.  If you already have one, you can opt in starting today.  If you don't have one, creating one is easy.  Having a Stampin' Up! account is similar to having an Amazon account.  It simply saves your information so you don't have to enter it over and over, plus you can track your orders and see what you've purchased in your order history.  If you need assistance creating an account or opting in to the rewards program contact me.  
  • You must opt into the program.  Due to federal laws you will have to opt in on or after April 15, 2025 to earn rewards.  Don't worry Stampin' Up! should have a pop up when you log in to ask you to opt in. 
  • Rewards do expire.  Don't worry they have a long lifespan. You'll have 12 months to use any Stampin' Rewards.  If you have rewards expiring at different times you'll be able to see which rewards expire sooner and use those first. 
  • You don't have to use all your rewards at once.  Maybe you have $50 in rewards but only want to use $20 at this time, no problem!  You can specify how much to use when redeeming them.
What do I do now?  If you don't already have a Stampin' Up! Online Store account create one.  If you already have an account, you're all set and everything should have rolled over all you need to do is opt in! If you don't have an account Head to my Online Store and make an account today

Contact me with any questions you might have.

Happy Shopping!  
Don't forget April has lots of new additions to the Last Chance List some discounted.  PLUS, for every $50 you spend in April you'll be entered to win a NEW In Color Bundle!  


Shop with me in April and be entered into a drawing!  For every $50 (before tax and shipping) you order in my Online Store you will be entered to win.  Two winners, randomly drawn, will win a new In Color Bundle!  


To qualify:

  • Orders must be placed between April 1, 2025-April 30, 2025.  
  • You receive one entry for every $50 you spend before tax and shipping. The more you spend the more chances you have to win! 
  • Winners will be contacted by May 5, 2025.  
  • Winners will have 72 hours to claim their prizes, if they're not claimed I'll draw another winner(s).  
Prizes:
  • Two winners will win a new In Color Bundle featuring the NEW 2025-2027 In Color Assortment 8 1/2" x 11" Cardstock (4 sheets of each of the new colors), a package of the NEW In Color Stampin' Write Markers and a package of the NEW In Color Pearls.

April In Person Class-Paper Party!

For my in person class in April I decided to focus on lots of different DSP's this is our Paper Party!  One thing I hear all the time is "I have sooo much paper".  We all do right?  These five cards are going to show you how to use that DSP. These are cards you can use year round for a variety of occasions.  If you're in the Albuquerque area I'd love to see you at a class.  Contact me at stamperrdn@q.com for details on my next in person class. 

Measurements and supply lists for each card are reserved for my guests of my class.  

I love the first card.  The colors are fun, but the Meant To Bee DSP is so cute!  It's one of my favorites and I'm not ashamed to say I have multiple packages of this one.  I paired up the DSP with the Friends For Life Bundle.  This bundle is on the Last Chance List so grab it while you can! 


Of course it's a cute fun fold card.  I LOVE that!  


Next up is another fun fold.  This is one of my all time favorite ways to use DSP, especially if you have a stack of it!  The Wildflower Birthday DSP is perfect for this too.  The DSP has a couple sheets of die cut pieces that make this card soooo quick and easy! 


Inside we added a greeting from the With You In Mind Set.  This set is full of everyday sentiments you'll use over and over. 


The Otterly Amazing Bundle is on the Last Chance List and I'm so sad to see it go!  Especially when the bundle makes such adorable cards as this one!  We also used the Otterly Adorable DSP which is sooo cute! To add shading to the otter we used Watercolor Pencils Assortment 1. 


The Cutest Cows Stamp Set and Punch have been around a while and since they're both on the Last Chance List I couldn't resist using it one more time.  This is a version of a gatefold card but instead of opening in the center it's slightly off.  It makes for a fun twist on a gatefold card.  This card features two DSP packages.  The first the Woven Textures-a great basic DSP to have on hand. The other is the Friends Of The Ocean DSP-it's on the Last Chance List so grab it quick! 


Finally, I used the Lovely Garden DSP.  Since our DSP's are famous for coordination using different pieces from the same package can guarantee that they'll coordinate and look amazing together.  So for this card I grabbed three different patterns to add a fun background.  My greeting is from the With You In Mind Set again.  I'll say it again the greetings are great and you'll use them year round! 



Thanks for looking, see you soon!!!
