SSI Friday Favorite–Label Thinlit Cards!
Yay, I’m back with a project to share with you! Over on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration some of the girls are sharing their favorite items from the Stampin’ Up catalog and I had to get in on the action and share a newly re-discovered favorite of mine – the Thinlit Flip Card Dies!
See, I schedule these technique classes each month but usually have NO IDEA what samples I’m going to be doing in the classes until about a week or so out from the class.
(Yes, I know I should get better that the whole idea of preplanning and premaking my class samples… I totally will…. someday….)
But as I was working on the samples for Monday’s Beyond the Basic Flip Card class, I was creating different variations of default Label flip card and the Circle flip card – and holy cow was it super fun!!!
I love that this type of card is so easy to make thanks to the dies. I mean, seriously, you get this super crazy cool flipping action and all it takes is one run through the Big Shot?! Scoring and detailed cutting is done — SOLD! Seriously, once I started playing with variations, I ran out of time before I could make them all.
This card was actually a left over “oops” card where I didn’t mean to cut it short the way I did. So, when closed it is basically a 4-1/4” x 4-1/4” card.
To make a Square Flip Card:
- Cut your paper to 4-1/4” x 11” (you are actually going to end up with a chunk cut off the end, but you can save it and use it in a different project, right? )
- Turn it so the short end is lined up in the upper, left corner of the framelit and the long edge is going along the top of the thinlit die.
- There will be a gap between the bottom of your cardstock and the bottom of the thinlit die.
- Run it through your Big Shot (or other die cutting machine) and it cuts and scores it all for you!
- Decorate and you are done!
I had fun pairing my cut outs (the I <3 U comes with the flip card die) with the little heart stamp and punch from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack and Pictogram Punches stamp set
Stampin’ Up! Supplies Used:
- Label Thinlit Flip Card Die
- Big Shot
- Moonlight Designer Paper
- Neutral Candy Dots
- Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack
- Pictogram Punches stamp set
- Yippee Skippee stamp set
- Cardstock – Basic Grey, Hello Honey, Cherry Cobbler
- Ink – Basic Grey, Cherry Cobbler
If you are coming to my Beyond the Basic Flip Card class (6/30 at 7pm), you’ll be doing a variation on this specific card, only with an added twist! You’’ll love it! Don’t forget to RSVP if you haven’t already.
Not local? I’m putting together an online class with videos and pdfs going over all the variations we’ll be talking about in class! Shoot me a message if you want to be notified when the class is ready to go (hopefully very soon).

Fun w/ Thinlits & a Flip Card Class
I normally forget to post here on the blog reminders about my upcoming classes and events until the day before, not always the best time to advertise, huh? But today I’m actually remembering and so I wanted to share a little about my next class that is coming up on Monday June 30th that is all about using the Thinlit dies in fun ways!
Beyond the Basic Flip Card
6/30/2014 – 7pm at Panera in Redmond ~OR~ get the TO-GO class kit my mail
RSVP here or email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com
So the idea is that you have your basic flip card (shown above) where you pull open the left flap and the center circle or label shape flips over to reveal a message on the other side. They are really cute and can be fun to decorate – and did I mention SUPER EASY thanks to the die! Honestly, I had never tackled this type of card because I was nervous exact-o knives would be involved. But once they came out with a die that did it all for me…. heck ya! I was all over it!
The cool part is there are lots of variations you can do with these cards that are really fun and give you lots of variety with the single die. So, in the class we’ll walk through the basics of using the die for the base card and then jump right in to some fun variations.
- like changing the orientation of the card
- to have a spinner in the middle of your flip shape
- having an extra flap for more space to write your sentiments
- to even doing a double flip (or more!) card!
In class we’ll be using both the dies:
Circle Thinlit Die Label Thinlit Die
I’ll have extra samples of flip cards to give you more ideas, but you’ll go home with completed cards that you made doing the different variations.
It should be a lot of fun and a nice change from your typical cards!
I hope you can join me either in the class or virtually through class videos for the TO-GO option! RSVP here or email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com

Trying out Project Life By Stampin’ Up – My First Layout
I know by now it is old news that Becky Higgins (creator of Project Life) has partnered with Stampin’ Up to create exclusive lines of Project Life cards, accessories, and even a corner punch. I had been just starting to get into Project Life when this announcement came out and I was stoked! Especially because I would now be able to have cards that coordinated both in patterns and colors with stuff I already had in my stash! So, here is the first layout I put together using my new goodies: Everything in this layout is from the Everyday Adventure kit and accessory pack. Can I just say I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the idea of an accessory kit! Maybe someone else does it out there, but I haven’t seen it with the Becky Higgins kits and We R Memory Keepers card sets. Why do I love them? They give me a little bit of lots of awesome bits to embellish up my cards and I don’t have to think about what I have that would match. See?
Everyday Adventure Accessory Pack
(Do you notice a theme? I love kits and don’t like having to think about which things match. Seriously, I love scrapbooking kits that come with paper, embellishments, and die cuts because I know I have a little bit of everything to put my layouts together!) So anyway, for the most part, I just used the cards from the Everyday Adventure card kit and then I may add on or two little accents to a handful of them. Like in the close up below, you see that card in the upper right? It looked exactly like that (minus my journaling of course) and I just added a bit of the blue washi tape along the top as a bit of trim. And then, of course, the green arrow and black letters that spell “maple classroom” are stickers from the accessory pack. Oh and that bit of orange at the bottom of the green card? That is a little acetate (think window sheet) colored piece from the accessory pack. The doodling look on that card? Totally printed on, thank goodness! And as my last trick, I used some of that same blue washi tape again to layer a 3×4 PLxSU card (I’m just going to use the PLxSU to make it less typing when I’m trying to say Project Life by Stampin’ Up… sound ok? Ok, cool!) Anyway, I layered a 3×4 PLxSU card on top of a 4×6” PLxSU card and stuck with Washi Tape for a fun layered look. And if you can’t read it, the quote says “Everyday is a new Adventure” which I thought was PERFECT for this layout because it was about Nicholas being a in a new class at school. His new adventure. Stampin’ Up! Supplies Used
- Project Life Pocket Scrapbook Pages (from the variety pack)
- Everyday Adventure card set
- Everyday Adventures Accessory Pack
- Project Life Day to Day stamp set (for the date)
And let me say, I’ve been using these cards for MORE than scrapbooking as well. I made some cards and other fun non-scrapbooking/non-card projects using them for the display boards for convention… so I can’t share them until July, but I’m SO EXCITED to be able to share them then!
–>> Plus, stop by the Stylin Stampin Inkspiration blog for even more great ideas for the PLxSU kits (there are 5 different ones available!) See all the great ideas here
I hope this gave you some ideas and you can give it a shot yourself!

What to do When You Forget Your Clear Blocks
It is summer vacation here and so we are still figuring out how we are going to spend our time each day. Yesterday, the kiddos really wanted to go to WiggleWorks, a local kids activity gym. The nice part, it has a raised bar for the parents to sit at and watch the kids while being able to relax ourselves. So, I thought it would be a great opportunity for me to get some thank you cards made while the kids ran around like monkeys.
I had everything I needed… that is until I went to start stamping and realized that I TOTALLY FORGOT my clear blocks! OOPS! So, I had to get a little creative and come up with a new solution, because darn if I wasn’t going to get some progress made on my cards!
Now if you are ever in this situation, the one thing I know you will have is your clear block case! And the nice thing… it is see through on the back side and you already know the stamps cling to it.
Turns out it totally works! Maybe not as comfortably as using an actual clear block. But in a pinch it will totally do it for you.
Other suggestions I’ve heard recently are:
- using a cell phone
- using the bottom of a drinking glass
- or just using your fingers (though I don’t think this option works as well as the others by far!)
How about you? What is the most creative way you’ve come up with to use your clear stamps when you didn’t have a block? Leave a comment here or over on Facebook where we’ll be chatting about it and I’ll compile the suggestions for us all to have as tips in our back pocket.
In the meantime, I was going to make sure you had seen the promotions going on this week. Because you know, who doesn’t like a great deal?

Congratulations Card in Blue
Tis the season for graduations and transitions, so it is a great time to pull out your congratulation stamps and put together some fun congratulations cards. Today’s card uses on of the new Photopolymer stamps from Stampin’ Up called Bravo – and if you are on my mailing list, you got the PDF tutorial for making this card in your latest newsletter. If you aren’t getting my newsletters, you can sign up here and you’ll be all set for future tutorials and tips!
Now you are totally going to laugh at me, but I saw the images from this stamp set long before I got the set (I earned it free as part of a promotion for demonstrators) and I thought,” Oh, this has some nice sentiments and fonts”.
I knew the set was called “Bravo”, I saw the images… but somehow it wasn’t until I got it in the mail and went to go use it that it suddenly hit me that all of the sentiments were some form of congratulations! Doh! How did that totally escape my notice? I had a good laugh for my blockheadedness and got to work on my congratulations stamp.
Anyway, I did like the idea of using this set to create my own background image. I started by laying out the stamps on my paper (image side down) until I had positioned everything to where I wanted it. Then I grabbed my big clear block (block F) and placed it on top of my set of stamps so that when I picked up the block, I had everything exactly where I wanted them.
Then all I had to do was ink and then stamp and my background is done! Exactly how I wanted it.
Add some glimmer stars using the new Itty Bitty Accents punch pack and some ribbon and you are done. Switch up the colors and you can use this for any school colors or event. Yay for flexibility!
Stampin’ Up Supplies Used
- Bravo Stamp Set
- Clear Block F
- Itty Bitty Accent Punch Pack
- Neutral Candy Dots
- Lost Lagoon Stitched Satin Ribbon
- Silver Glimmer Paper
- Paper – Crumb Cake, Pool Party, Whisper White
- Ink – Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake
You can do this idea with any of your clear mount stamps – arranging them on your paper first and them positioning the clear block to pick them up and keep them in just the right spot. So, have fun and give it a try!

A Couple Quick Creations Thanks to the Happenings Card Kit
With the release of the new Stampin’ Up catalog, it is always fun to chat with folks after they have had a little bit of time to flip through it a time or two (or four or twenty… ha ha!) Always there is a stamp set or accessory or something that has been around for a while that we have TOTALLY MISSED and think are so stinkin’ cute. And then there are the few items that you see but can’t really picture how cute they can be until you see someone else using them. For example, this Happenings Card Kit.
I remember completely skimming past it in the Occasions Catalog (yep, this has been around since January) but it wasn’t until they gave us a kit at the Leadership conference in TX that I started to notice it.
Then finally the last weekend in May I put together a class using this kit which turned out to be a TON of fun! Everyone got their own card kit- I brought the stamps, ink, and lots of samples for ideas; and we sat around creating our own versions of the 15 cards in the kit. For example:
Did you know that the sentiments from the Geometrical stamp set fit really well in the banners? Since the circle, the banner, and the glimmer paper piece were all die cut – this card was as easy as stamping the sentiment and then assembling!
Or you can get extra creative with what is left over once you punch out your die cut shapes. Like this:
I popped out the big green banner piece and set it aside for another card. Then there was a little bit left of the green pattern printed on the die cut sheet and so I just grabbed my scissors and started trimming around the patterned shape to get that banner outline! Totally fun, huh?
And seriously, multiple people finished all 15 of their cards – each one being unique, I might add, in the 2 or so hours we had allotted! So, kits can be great for that time saver crafting.
Stampin’ Up Supplies Used
- Happenings Card Kit
- Geometrical Stamp Set
- Yippee Skippee Stamp Set
- Glue Dots
- Paper Snips
- Ink – Strawberry Slush, Pear Pizzazz
I’ll have more projects to share with you using this kit… or if you order this kit from me, I’ll email you a PDF with all 15 of my unique samples! Gotta make sure you have some fun inspiration to get you started.
And if you want some more inspiration, here is one set created by Tanya Cabral at that stamping afternoon:
Enjoy and Happy Friday the 13th!

Gorgeous Grunge Polaroid Birthday Card
One of the things I especially love about crafting is that two people can take the same supplies and turn out completely different cards with totally different styles. As you may have noticed from my blog, my style tends to be more clean and simple cards that can be created pretty quickly. That said, Rosemary Bryson is one of the gals in my downline and she can take the same products I have and seem to effortlessly turn them into stunning works of art! For example, this card:
I love how she combined the stamp sets and punches to create such a unique look!
The hearts were stamped using the Perfect Pennants stamp set and then traced with a white gel pen and then covered in crystal effects. she also added sequins and glimmer paper dots to add some extra sparkle and shine. Such a fun idea!
And it is really hard to tell, but she actually inked the entire paper (the polaroid frame) with versamark and embossed it with white embossing paper to give it that thick, shiny feel! See, that is something I never would have thought to do. And add some more embossing on the background paper with Gorgeous Grunge and you have a fun paint splatter effect to keep any part of the card from being boring.
Stampin’ Up Supplies Used
- Perfect Pennants
- Gorgeous Grunge stamp set
- Express Yourself (hostess set 2013-14 *retired)
- Crystal Effects
- Gold Baker’s Twine
- Word Window Punch
- Modern Label Punch
- Gold Sequins
- Big Shot
- Square Framelits
- White Embossing Powder
- Embossing Buddy
- Cardstock – Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Sahara Sand
- Ink – Versamark, Bermuda Bay, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango
If you happen to be in the Pierce County (Tacoma/Bonney Lake/Puyallup), Washington area, you should definitely check out her classes she is starting up with a new meetup group called the Pierce County Paper Crafters. I know I want to go myself and get to make some of her amazing creations!

Another Catalog CASE with Too Kind and Hello Honey
Last week, I participated in a Blog Hop with other gals from my Fun n’ Crafty team of demonstrators (which you should totally join, by the way, with the $50 limited time starter kit deal. 😉 ) We all picked a project in the 2014-2015 Stampin’ Up catalog and made our own version. This was a card I made for the hop but ended up not posting that day:
And this was the card I saw in the catalog that I was inspired by:
Obviously, I had a few differences, starting from the stamp set ; but that is because I didn’t own the stamp set in the picture. So instead I looked through my shelf of stamps and decided to grab my Too Kind set instead. It is the same idea, a solid image flower, just with different shapes. I also wanted to play with my new inks including the Hello Honey and Lost Lagoon.
I also thought my flowers needed a little something so I added a drop of Crystal Effects in the center of each flower. A little shiny center for each one!
I was asked recently when I showed this card in a class I was asked how I got the splatters on the card. In this case, I used the stamp set Gorgeous Grunge – really, it is the perfect set for little background touches!
Stampin’ Up Supplies I Used
- Too Kind stamp set
- Really Good Greetings stamp set
- Gorgeous Grunge stamp set
- Crystal Effects
- Watercolor Wonder washi tape
- Project Life Corner Rounder punch
- Cardstock – Very Vanilla, Lost Lagoon, Sahara Sand
- Ink – Hello Honey, Chocolate Chip
I love the new catalog and its layout for getting lots of new ideas and inspiration. So, check it out (you can see it online here) and give it a try!

Love My Layered Flower Punches and Burlap
Every month as I start working on cards for my monthly card class and stamp club, I remember why I love doing this. It is always fun to create a card of a scrapbook page based on what I see, but for me, it gets even more exciting when I think about what I can share with others and how excited they will be to try it out themselves. I think it challenges me to come up with something that is not only pretty but really fun to make.
Well, today’s card is one that I was soooo excited to try out and I loved it so much that I’m using it for some of my thank you cards this month as well as teaching it in my Cute & Classic cards class tonight and my stamp club next week!
The card is inspired by a card created by my friend Julie Gunhus who was inspired by a card on the Stampin’ Up Incentive Trip cruise. I’ve never seen the original and I changed up her version for mine, so if you know who made the original, tell them that I think they are brilliant!
I made mine a skinnier size so that the proportions looked right to me, so the end result is a card that is 3-1/2” x 5-1/2”.
I used the new Itty Bitty Accent punches for the smaller flower to go with my Petite Petal flower. Seriously, when the Petite Petals stamp & punch came out earlier this year I thought it was the smallest flower I would need… but boy do I love the new itty bitty punch pack!
This card is so quick and simple to make and just looks gorgeous, don’t you think? My burlap is just a 1-1/2” piece that I adhered my twine and flowers to the front with glue dots.
Stampin’ Up Supplies I Used
I also used the colors Strawberry Slush, Crisp Cantaloupe, and Blushing Bride for my flowers. If you want to come make this card with me, I’d love to have you join me at my card class tonight in Redmond, WA. Let me know by RSVP’ing on my calendar or email me at jennifer@nwstamper.com and I’ll reserve one of my extra spots for you!
