Calling All Scrapbooking Fans (and card markers too)

09/16/2024

Hello ~ and welcome to my blog. My name is Lisa Brown and I am here to share all things Stampin' Up! so lets get started.

Today I am excited to share our New Scrapbooking Brochure. If you love scrapbooking, you will love this; BUT... even if you don't scrapbook, and are strictly a card maker, this is for you too as it includes stamp sets!

Another reason I am excited about this is because of my background. Without even knowing where I would be in life, as a little girl, I loved putting these books together. Books with photos, notes, messages, cards I received or maybe a ticket of an event I attended. I would write out my favorite song lyrics and decorate the page with music notes and pictures I would find in my teen magazine. LOL! I had No idea this was called scrapbooking. I called it my memory book. Fast forward to my adult like, when introduced to card making, I stuck with it for a few years until I realized Stampin' Up! use to have a scrapbooking line, and I switched my focus to that. But then, I decided to become a Demonstrator and swapped my focus back to card making again. So I am excited to now bring both together and be able to share everything with you.

Here's my Top 5 Things that I am loving about this brochure:

products coordinate with Stampin' Up! colors like Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso and SO many more!
Workshop Kit: this is a collection of multiple items like printed paper, stickers, solid papers and more
introduction of 2-tone cardstock and Willow White cardstock
kits can have coordination with other Stampin' Up! catalog items which is marked in the Scrapbooking Brochure
kits make multiple double layout pages (i.e. three double-page layouts)

As always, please reach out to me if you have any questions on product or placing an order: [email protected]

Happy Scrapping and Stamping!

Changing Leaves Hybrid Bundle

09/12/2024

Hello ~ and welcome to my blog, Creative Card Closet. My name is Lisa Brown and I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I love sharing projects and ideas with you, so let's get started.

Let's actually get started with a question. What is a "Hybrid Bundle"? This is a bundle that includes a stamp set, coordinating dies, and a coordination Hybrid 3D embossing folder. In this case, it is the Changing Leaves 3D (so the thick kind) embossing folder. To use, you open the embossing folder, line up your dies with folder, add your paper and when you run through your machine, it embosses and die cuts all in one shot!

For this 1st project (yes, there's 2 today), I took a quarter sheet of Very Vanilla card stock and randomly put Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive ink all over the front with my Blending Brushes. I then used the 3D embossing folder and dies to cut out the leaves. SAVE THAT NEGATIVE PIECE TO USE ON NEXT CARD.

I do have to say, I could have gone a little bit darker on my colors but I still love how this turned out.

Project 2: I used that quarter sheet of Very Vanilla (the negative piece) from above, and used as a stencil. Again, using my Blending Brushes and same ink colors, I blending colors onto a piece of Basic White card stock. Then I ran through the Changing Leaves Hybrid 3D embossing folder.
