Welcome to our Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators November blog hop! You will find Christmas designs for cards, scrapbooks, party favors or 3-D projects!

I chose the Peaceful Boughs cling stamp set (#150541) with the coordinating Beautiful Boughs Dies (#150661) for my Christmas card. They are also available in a Bundle (#153033) at a 10% savings!

The card base is Soft Suede with layers of Crumb Cake and Very Vanilla. The 3 pine boughs are stamped in Garden Green. The pine boughs are die cut in Garden Green and accented with Snowfall Accents Puff Paints (#150691). The pinecones are diecut in Soft Suede and Early Espresso. The accent berries are diecut from Copper Foil (#142020) using the Frosted Bouquet Dies (#151800). The sentiment is cut from Very Vanilla/Copper 1/2″Classic Weave Ribbon (#150394).

Welcome to the Stampin Stray Ducklings’ Blog Waddle for November! This month we are featuring Christmas cards. You may have arrived here from Nancy Legate’s blog.  Following me is Kim Baker’s blog. Let us know what you think of our projects! 

I created my card using the Christmas Rose stamp set (#152431) from the Christmastime is Here Suite (#153947), Rose Dies (#152144), Christmastime is Here Designer Series Paper (#152154), Word Wishes Dies (#149629), Well Said cling stamp set (#3148796), Gold Foil sheets (#132622), and Gold 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon! My colors are Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Garden green, and Soft Suede.

The card base is a 8 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Whisper White. The next layer up is also Whisper White with a 4″x4″ piece of the Christmastime is Here DSP and 2 pieces cut from the Rose Dies with a piece of Gold 1/4″ Shimmer Ribbon wrapped around the layer.
Then I stamped and colored the gorgeous rose with greens and pinecones. It is adhered with dimensionals. I cut the Merry from a Gold foil sheet and stamped Christmas, from the Well Said stamp set, in Cherry Cobbler. This was cut with another die from the Rose Dies.

New Stampin’ Up! Trimmer!

Leave a comment

Note: The new trimmer blades DO NOT fit the old discontinued trimmer and the old trimmer blades will not fit in the new trimmer.

Improvements:  
(1) The metal blade piece is significantly longer than the old one; meaning it will cut deeper and more pieces of cardstock/paper

(2) The weight of the trimmer is much lighter, narrower and thinner than the old one

(3) There is an opening at the top, kind of diamond-shaped to allow it to be hung for storage; 

(4) The cutting guide snaps down to hold it closed for locking instead of a slide button on the end to lock it; 

(5) The extension arm does not need a “foot” to keep it steady when extended; 

(6) The Extension arm, when in closed position allows paper to butt against it at the 6″ mark which is great for measuring smaller pieces;

(7) The 6″ position on the rule mark has a little arrow pointing at the 6″ line so it is very clear where the measurement is, making the jump from the board onto the extension arm easier to read for more accuracy; 

(8) The extension arm locks into place by pressing down slightly and moving it into a grove at the tip of the arm near the SU logo; 

(9) The “pressure lip” of the cutting guide is in a better position to prevent the blade getting “stuck” when pressing down to hold paper in place for cutting; 

(10) The scoring blade has a better scoring implement on it so scoring is very smooth (you can’t event tell you are scoring!) and it gives a better score line, but is less likely to cause certain DSP to tear after scoring. 

(11) I was able to cut cleanly through three sheets of SU cardstock at one time with no problem. Some demonstrators have cut through four and five sheets of cardstock at a time, but they have gone back and forth a few times. I am thrilled with three at a time!! 

(12) It’s very streamlined and because of its even rectangular design it will be much easier to pack and fit into a storage space in a more compact way. 

Thank you Stampin’ Up! for these 12 great improvements! And the price is great at just $25. There will be four blades in the replacement package rather than two.

Negatives: 

(1) The cutting arm is in the way when it is closed, so to have anything wider than 6″ be able to lie flat on the surface, the arm will need to be extended as there is a ridge on the edge of the extension. 

(2) There is no storage compartment underneath the unit.

We do not have a customer release date yet. Stay tuned. 
**Remember if you don’t want to wait you can select it in a starter kit and get it now. $25 (you’ll actually get $125 in product for just $99 with FREE shipping – message me). 

New & Improved says it all.

Welcome to our Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators October blog hop! You will find Fall or Thanksgiving designs for cards, scrapbooks, party favors or 3-D projects!

I chose the Gather Together photopolymer stamp set (#150589) with the Gathered Leaves Dies (#150662) for my fall card. They are also available in a Bundle (#153036) at a 10% savings!

The card base is Crumb Cake with a Very Vanilla layer on top. The wheat is stamped in Soft Suede on Crumb Cake and layered on Mint Macaron. The large leaf is Cajun Craze stamped on Cajun Craze cardstock and the smaller leaf is diecut from Copper Foil (#142020). The sentiment is stamped in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla and layered over a piece of Pretty Peacock Scalloped Linen Ribbon (#149751). The last detail is a 1/2″ piece of Come Together Designer Series Paper (#150454).

Welcome to the Stampin Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle for October! This month we are featuring Fall/Thanksgiving cards. You may have arrived here from Nancy Legate’s blog.  Following me is Kim Baker’s blog. Let us know what you think of our projects! 

I created my card using the Painted Harvest photopolymer stamp set (#144783) and the Crackle Paint cling stamp (#148752). I chose this set because of the sentiment!

The card base is a 8 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Poppy Parade. The next layer up is Very Vanilla stamped in Early Espresso with the Crackle Paint stamp. Next is a layer of Early Espresso to set off the focal point layer.
The flowers were stamped in Poppy Parade with Early Espresso centers. The leaves are stamped in Garden Green and there are Crushed Curry dots to finish the background. The lovely sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla and tied with a bit of knotted Poppy Parade 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon (#147813).
