It’s a new year, so it’s out with the old and in with the new!! Today’s episode of Maker Mornings with Meg includes a fun fold card featuring the Last Chance Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper in a way I bet you haven’t tried yet. Plus we’ll make over the same card with the upcoming Wildflower Birthday Suite supplies – coming on January 7.
If you’ve always wondered how to use a card design as inspiration for something new – some stampers call this ‘CASEing’ a card – then you’re going to love watching my process with today’s THREE cards.
Here’s the 2nd card – featuring the Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper that was on the Last Chance List. Sadly, it’s sold out now, but I wanted to share the card anyway, since it’s another version of our Trusty Toolbox Z Fold Card.
Note that today’s supply link includes only the links for the currently available supplies. You’ll want to make a note of the Wildflower Birthday Suite Collection (164604) so that you’re ready on January 7 when it becomes available.
And finally, the SNEAK PEEK from the upcoming January – April 2025 Mini Catalog, featuring the Wildflower Birthday Suite Collection: Designer Series Paper, Gold Woven Ribbon and Party Dots along with the Birthday Celebration stamp and die bundle.
The main image on the front of this card is from the die cuts included with the Wildflower Birthday 12×12 Designer Series Paper. Want to get a sampling of this paper along with a die cut sampler? Be sure to sign up for the LovenStamps DSP Paper Share!!
Pretty, right? I love these colors and I’m totally supporting that we now celebrate Cake Day – haha! Otherwise it’s a fun greeting for a birthday (although I stand by Cake Day, which can be celebrated as many times a year as we like!).
The first of today’s designer series paper – Trusty Toolbox – is one of the best bargains on the Last Chance Products list. SHOPPING HINT: When you go to the Last Chance list, use the filter at the top right to sort from low price to high price. There are some amazing papers, ribbons and more that are fabulous Stampin’ Up! quality, but priced perfectly to add to your collection!
Back by Popular Demand: LovenStamps Designer Series Paper Share!
A common comment I hear from stampers: “But Meg, I have so much paper that I’m not using!” I can help you with that, too. My paper share will save you time, money AND you’ll use what you get. Because with each piece of Designer Series Paper, you’ll receive a coordinating cardstock card base, for Ready To Stamp cards.
Just fold your Ready To Stamp card base in half, trim your 6″ x 6″ DSP to 4″ x 5 1/4″ and voila – the perfect card, ready for layering your stamped images. You can even include the DSP strips left over as part of your design. No more piles of DSP that you’re not using – no more searching for a matching card base.
Share spaces are limited, so be sure to sign up early. Want to get some new embellishments, too? Good news: I’ve got an optional Embellishment Add-On for you, too!!
The share closes on January 14 or when spots are filled – so be sure to sign up right away! Your share spot is only confirmed when payment is received.
Get more details about the Paper Share – or sign up and secure your spot!
