Heart Easel & More - January Class 2

Today I have four cards - made from two different half sheets of designer series paper (DSP) called Marbled Elegance.  I also used stamps and dies from the Hearts of Elegance bundle.  I'm using up some of my stash, so both papers and stamp/die bundle are currently discontinued.  However, there are plenty of materials currently available that would work well.  Try this paper, and this stamp/die bundle.

There is a video that shows how I made these cards - here. 

More Easels

Today I have a few more easel cards - same structures as the last post - just decorated differently.  I'm again using up some of my Stampin' Up! stash, so not all materials are still available.  If they are (as of this posting), I'll add links so you can find them.  Most card bases start with Basic White Thick cardstock, and many use Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

Variations on Easels - January Class 1

Today I have a trio of cards that are all variations on easel cards.  While it's fun to use new things, sometimes we need to use up our current stash, and that's what I'm doing with these cards.  So, many of the items are discontinued, but you can find plenty of pretty papers, stamps & dies to use to make similar cards here. Where materials are still available as of this writing, I'll provide links to them.

5 Quick Christmas Cards

 

Last night I realized I had somehow forgotten 5 important Christmas cards I need to deliver! SO, I pulled out my scraps from a couple of discontinued DSP packs (designer series paper - Traditions of Christmas and Seasons of Green and Gold).  With the many die cuts and fussy cut pieces that I had, three of these cards came together very quickly.  I also used a stamped/colored focal for a couple of them from an older stamp set called A Beautiful Season.  Four of the five cards are Inverted Center Step cards.  All materials were from Stampin' Up! except for the cutting dies used to create the sentiments for all five cards - they were a discontinued Moonstone die set.  This is how my five cards turned out:

December 2025 Class 2 - Turtle-y Cute Pop Up Card & More

 

Today's class continued a look at scene creation.  This time, the scenes are all created by fussy cutting pieces from designer series paper (DSP) from Stampin' Up!.  This time we used the Turtle-y Cute DSP (all images © 1990–present Stampin’ Up!®.  This first card took scene building a bit farther, by making it a simple pop-up scene!   Here's a look at these cards and how we made them:

December 2025 Class - Scene Creation & Monochromatic Color Schemes

 

This month we're looking at aspects of scene creation - this time with Monochromatic color schemes.  All cards used Stampin' Up!s discontinued Winter Meadow papers, but most paper packs have papers that will work well for this technique.

More Step Cards Class

Today I have more step cards from our latest class.  The first 3 have a clear Autumn theme and are the ones we made in class.  At the end, I show 2 more versions of these cards - same types, but decorated differently.  Here's the list of materials used for the first three cards (all from Stampin' Up! (except for the little bit of ribbon & the squirrel that I found in my stash - but you can use the Fluffy Squirrel Stamp and Punch Bundle to create something similar):
