The New Basic White products

January 7, 2021January 6, 2021Leave a comment

Whisper White has been a Stampin’ Up! staple as long as I have been stamping, 21 years this April! We all love it. The mill that produces the Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. Stampin’ Up wasn’t given much notice on this closure. Stampin’ Up jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. They have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. They have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White! The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by Stampin’ Up’s quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. Basic White cardstock is sure to become your new crafting staple!
NOTE: This won’t affect any of our other cardstocks, this only affects Whisper White.

Snowflakes!

Snow Many Ways with Snowflakes

Nature has many ways of showing off her genius, and one of the most notable examples is found in the delicate patterns of snowflakes. Our concept artist decided to highlight the whimsical beauty of these fabulous ice crystals using the So Many Snowflakes Dies (item 153560), a variety of embossing folders, and subtle, pastel color combinations to create truly breathtaking cards—which can be easily adapted to suit any winter occasion.

To make the watercolor snowflake accents featured on the Happy Hanukkah and Snowflake Wishes cards, we simply applied Blushing Bride and Misty Moonlight ink to the die-cut snowflakes using Sponge Daubers (# 133773)—replicating the soft hues of a wintry, twilight sky. Our artist enhanced the texture and beauty of these cards using the Winter Snow (#153577) and Evergreen Forest 3D (#153576) Embossing Folders, respectively.

To create our Thank You Snow Much gift bag, we embossed Brushed Metallic Cardstock (#153524) using the Woodland Embossing Folder (# 152881) and added peek-through snowflake die-cut pieces for extra charm. Who wouldn’t love to receive this darling gift bag, tied with a 1-1/2″ (3.8 cm) Metallic Mesh Ribbon (#153550)? This project would also make the perfect host or booking gift!

How many ways can you showcase the beauty of snowflakes with your cards and 3D projects?
