Thanks for tuning in for the first of my 2021 Stampin' Up! Halloween projects and I'll see you again soon!

Make your own patterned paper for card making with this One Sheet Wonder using the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves Bundle from Stampin' Up! 

What is a One Sheet Wonder? It's the technique of stamping on one piece of cardstock with several images to create a background look.  You cut this card stock into different pieces to use as layers on a card.  It's a fun process and turns out different every time!

This video is an edited version of last week's Facebook Live.  You can watch me make this patterned paper for today's cardmaking project.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Use one piece of Basic White Cardstock [159276] for stamping the background.
• Merry Merlot Cardstock [146979] is cut at 4-1/4x 11 and scored at 5-1/2.
• Bumblebee Cardstock [153077] is cut 4-1/8 x 5-3/8.
• Basic White Cardstock [159276] strip for sentiment is 3/4 x 2.
• Brushed Metallic Cardstock [153524]  is cut 4 x 4 to die cut leaf.

Tip from the video: Leave some of the "bits" in the die-cut. it gives it a very unique and interesting look!

I would be happy to have you pick up this fabulous bundle set and other supplies from me. Just simply click on any image below to have it shipped to your home right away! Thank you so much for choosing me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator.

Today we are taking a look at a cardmaking color trend that's floating around the world of paper crafting; using neutrals with a spot of color.

Notice that I didn't use the term "pop of color"?  With this trend, I've noticed subdued colors rather than bright or bold colors.  In Stampin' Up! terms, these would include colors from our Subtles or Neutrals Color Collections.  I've enjoyed challenging myself to follow this trend and hope you will be inspired to do so after seeing this video and these samples.

This video was a Premiere video on YouTube which is a series that I hope you will watch every Thursday evening at 6 PM Central.  These videos will vary in length from a few minutes to an hour and will remain on YouTube if you aren't able to join us for the Premiere.  However, if you are able to join at the Premiere time, you can participate in the LIVE chat if you are signed in to your Google or Gmail account.

If you missed it on YouTube, here's the video!

It's Monday and we are ready to get crafting with this simple stamping technique with the Stampin' Up! Stamparatus [146276] called hinge stamping. 

I love this Biggest Wish Photopolymer Stamp Set (English) [155052] and these large greeting stamps were just right for this technique.

This is a fast motion video so take a couple of minutes to watch!

Isn't that a fun rubber stamping technique?  That Stamparatus is a gem!

Lisa's Inklings:

• Start with your Basic White Cardstock [159276] layer cut at 2 x 5. Stamp then trim down.
• Cut your Pool Party Cardstock [122924] layer 1/8 or 1/4 inch larger that our trimmed stamp piece.
• Cut the back Basic White layer 1/8 or 1/4 inch larger than your previously cut Pool Party layer.
• Card base is Pool Party Cardstock [122924]5-1/2 x 8-1/2.
• Hand Penned Designer Series Paper [155499] is cut 4 x 5-1/4.

I love this card and can't wait to send it to a friend! Or, wait... we are all friends here!  Leave a comment below by Friday, Noon (CT) July 23rd, and I will conduct a random draw to send it to one of you!

It's Thursday and I am super excited to share a cardmaking tip for layering with you! 

The Color & Contour Bundle (English) [158356] was not on my "radar" when the Stampin' Up! catalog was released but the dies were irresistible which "forced" me into buying the bundle. Let me tell you... I have not regretted it one bit!  This combo is beautiful and so versatile.

Another surprise to me was this new In Color, Pale Papaya. It was my LEAST favorite when these new In Colors from Stampin' Up! were released this past spring.  Admittedly, it has been the color most used in this new collection. Go figure!  Stampin' Up! will not lead me astray.  This Pale Papaya color is gorgeous!

Let's take a look at the video so you can see it in action. :)

Lisa's Inklings:

• Pale Papaya Cardstock [155668] card base is cut 5 -1/2 x 8-1/2.
• Pale Papaya layer is cut 4 x 5-1/4.
• You will need approximately 5 x 4 of Basic White Cardstock [159276] for stamping and cutting
• Pansy Petals 12" X 12"Designer Series Paper [155807] is cut 3 x 4 to die-cut.

Did you catch that layering tip at the end of that card-making video?  It was an afterthought but you can totally incorporate that technique during the process.

Now it's time for you to give it a try! You will love this Color & Contour Bundle (English) [158356]!
