Crafty Thursday #12: Let's Make a Dozen Notecards!

*January 2024 Host Code: M6C34D2G

Happy Crafty Thursday, everyone!

To celebrate my 12th Crafty Thursday post and the new Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration, let’s be adventurous and make a dozen cards! I used products from the new mini, which I shared about in my post earlier today…go check it out! Supply list is below 👇

I started with the Very Vanilla cards and envelope set for my base. These sets are great to have around when you get an urge to quickly make a set of cards, OR, if you need a quick note card for someone. The smaller cards are easy to whip up, just pick out a stamp set, DSP and get going! Stampin’ Up! has sets in Very Vanilla, White and Kraft paper.

I wanted to use alllll the new products, there are so many fun ones! I picked the Perennial Postage stamp and die set. The dies have a range of sizes, and a few extras. I used the next to largest one, since I recently acquired the BIG Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine! I have the Boho Blue Mini, and that one is a great starter. I was very excited to get the bigger machine, and man, oh, man, is it heavy! This is a definite work horse! I can now use all the bigger dies as well as the beautiful embossing folders.

The Perennial Lavender paper was calling my name, and there are 12 beautiful patterns in the package. I wanted to use one of the large and small lavender prints, so I made 6 of each pattern. I cut those with the dies. For the mats, I used Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon. I think it really popped out the highlight of those colors in the papers. I also used the same colors of ink to match on each set.

The sentiment is cut with one of the smaller postage stamp dies, and the Perennial Postage stamp set. It has 10 beautiful sentiments, and they are mounted on the red rubber.

I used the assembly line technique, getting everything ready, cut and stamped prior to putting them together. That made it quick and fun. There’s nothing like a prepared kit, right? 😉

Don’t forget your envelopes!

Supplies I used are the Very Vanilla Note Cards and Envelopes, the Perennial Postage stamp set and die bundle, the Perennial Lavender 12″x12″ Designer Series Paper, Courage and Faith stamp set on the envelopes, Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon card stock and ink, Blooming Pearls and Iridescent Pearls embellishments

Next week I will announce details for my February card kit and demonstration, using the Bee Mine Suite of products. Super cute bee prints and a bee “builder” punch, pretty ribbon, embellishments and more! Kits will include everything you need to make 3 cards with your own stamp set.
