Working with a Suite - Stampin' Up! Products Coffee Break Suite (with Tutorial)

When you first discover the world of scrapbook and cardmaking, your first thought is probably, "Where was this all my life?" But also, "Where do I start?" I'll admit, it can be a little overwhelming, and you feel like you need to get SO MANY things before you can even make a card. And then, you are still not sure how to go about creating a card. I get it, I've been there. This is why I decided to offer a class for beginners a few weeks ago, where I would focus on some card basics.

This is one of two cards we made that night. At first glance, you might think that this card doesn't look so simple, because there are a lot of pieces on it, but the secret is in the coordination. Stampin' Up! is really the champion of coordinating products, and all the products you see on this card are part of the same product suite Coffee Break. So really, you can look at only 2 pages of the catalogue, pick all the products that coordinate, and you just KNOW you cards will be easy to put together. The colours, the patterns, and the accessories are all meant to complement each other, so it takes away all the guess work.

Isn't that the best feeling? Creating freely without second guessing? If you'd like to try this card, click below to download the tutorial. And although this paper is retiring, you can use the same principle (even the same card design) with any product suite you love from our current catalogues.

Nature's Poem Card Stack using Stampin' Up! products

I am in love with the Nature's Poem suite! Look at those gorgeous colours, those soft natural images, and those amazing patterns! It is exactly my style and I was SO excited when I saw it. I just had to order the whole suite. (See it on p.142-144 of the Annual Catalogue) The suite includes: a double stamp set (10 images + 6 sentiments), coordinating Framelit Dies, 4 colour Twine pack, Silver and Copper metallic leaf trinkets, Cardstock Pack, and the Designer Series Paper. Shop the products here. I decided to make a whole stack of cards with the suite, using two basic designs. It is so easy to mix and match products and colours from the suite, that I was able to create several cards very easily. I chose to work with 4 different coulours (Tranquil Tide, Cajun Craze, Grapefruit Grove, Soft Suede) but there are so many other beautiful colours in this suite! For the card design above, I cut the DSP into a mat size (4 x 5-1/4) and for the card design ...

In Colors - OnStage Swaps - Stampin' Up! Products

Do you ever look at the catalogue and think: "I love everything!" Well, so do I. Of course, we have to make choices and can't everything. The closest thing you can do to "have everything", is to participate in swaps. Demonstrators often participate in swaps, and OnStage is a great occasion to participate, as we meet hundreds of other demonstrators. A swap is when each person will use make a card in multiple copies, then swap with other demonstrators, so that you end up with a stack of cards in all sorts of designs, colours, and techniques. Because everyone used different products, you get to have cards using products that you don't have. For last month's OnStage, I chose to use the InColors that were returning and the coordinating Designer Series Paper (this one retiring at the end of the month). I love the Crafting Forever stamp set, the sentiments are very fun and I played on the "cut out" phrase by adding a diagonal cut through the D...
