Two-Tone Cardstock / White Core Cardstock Confusion! AND Sophisticated Sled

So here's a thing. When Stampin' Up! started talking about their new cardstock (before launch), there was lots of talk about it being 'white core' - something that I was very familiar with from years ago. 

But actually AT launch, I missed that it was being described as Two-Tone Cardstock - another of its properties! As a result I have caused confusion to some of you and I apologise! They are absolutely the same thing. 

Anyway I thought I would pop in to the blog today to share a video I made featuring one of the White Core/Two Tone Cardstock techniques. Click HERE to watch. 




If you would like to see more about the full White Core Technique Masterclass - you can find it here.

White Core Two-tone Cardstock Technique Masterclass - Using the New Cardstock from Stampin' Up!

We have been hearing a lot about the new scrapbooking products coming to Stampin' Up! including the new White Core Cardstock - also known as Two Tone Cardstock. 

Whilst I was a scrapbooker way back when, I am mostly a card maker now - so I have put a White Core Technique Masterclass together especially for card makers. 

White Core Technique Masterclass 



This is a great opportunity to run one or more classes and introduce your customers to a brand new product line. Here is what is included in the class:

  • 12 techniques using White Core Cardstock from Stampin' Up! 
  • Step by step videos for each technique 
  • A separate video showing All You Need to Know about White Core
  • 5 card ideas to make and share using some of the techniques with a show & tell video  
  • Photographs to use in your Stampin' Up! business
  • A set up video for creating your memories and more technique file - plus some alternate ideas for you and your customers
  • Printable layout examples showing how to assemble samples and instructions in a memories and more folder, if wished
  • Printable index sheet   
  • Printable instructions for each technique – editable with no logos configured for both A4 and US letter versions 
  • 9 copies of one technique per sheet for easy class prep PLUS a two page printable of all the techniques and an index. 

I have kept my class price to just £10, which is usually about $14 US  - but at the time of typing it is less due to current exchange rates.

If you would like to order the class for just £10 you can order securely on Paypal by clicking below and I will email your class to you.  



I email as soon as I get your paypal notification - however if we are on other sides of the world I will send as soon as I wake up! 


If you would like to know a little more about the class, you can see more on this video.



I really hope this class will help you in your Stampin' Up! business.

  • Item Numbers 
  • Description - with number of items / length of ribbon

Fancy Folds part 10 - Featuring Season of Elegance, Yuletide Village, Decorative Trees from the Stampin' Up! Mini

Well here we go with a brand new Fancy Folds class - this time featuring the Season of Elegance Designer Paper and a selection stamps from the new mini catalogue. 

What I love about fancy folds however, is you can use whatever DSP and stamps you wish - so this class does not need to be all about Christmas. You could teach a fancy folds class as I have always done with 5 in one go - but I have also heard so some demos turning the whole class into a weekend retreat and teaching all 10 projects. Alternatively just use one a month and you can have almost a years worth of fancy folds! 

So if you are are ever short of that WOW card to tempt your customers to come to class and don't have the time to research and figure out all the measurements - then this class is for you. 



This time we have 10 Fancy Folds including an Endless Triangle Card, a Snowglobe Diorama Card and a very fancy Lift and Rotate card - I show you what that looks like on the video below if you would like to see. 



 Included in the class are:

  • Measurements in inches worked out for A4 and US letter sizes
  • All printable on A4 & US paper 
  • Project photos - no-logo that you can use for advertising
  • Cheat sheet photos for cutting and scoring  
  • An introductory videos with ideas and hints 
  • A step by step video for each of the projects
  • A per-person ordering list for the whole class
  • Class pricing ideas and tips
  • Plus some BONUS ideas for making no Christmas versions of the most festive projects 

I have kept my class price to just £10, which right now is under $14 US depending on today's Paypal exchange rates.

To order Fancy Folds Library Part 10, click below and pay securely by Paypal. When I receive the payment, I will email the class direct to your email inbox. I always send within 24 hours - usually much sooner, but allow me time if we are in different time zones. 

If you would like to see more on a short video and see a few of those folds in action - you can find it here






If you missed Fancy Folds parts 1-9, all those classes are still available too. You can find them listed and linked at the end of this email.  Altogether that is 126 Fancy Folds! 

I really hope you enjoy these projects and I hope your customers will love them too. 

Happy stamping 

Love Liz X

Frosted Forest Tips and Tricks Video

Just a quick post today to share two videos I have done for you. First I have some tips and tricks for using the Frosted Forest masks. 

I had a play and found a way to get a more 'dappled' effect on my tree - I think you will like it but see what you think. 

I will also share a show and tell about the other projects I made using the bundle. 

You watch the video HERE. 



Secondly I had some requests for more detail about how I got the best from the Rest Relax Enjoy stamps - so as your wish is my command here is another tips and tricks video.

Rest Relax Enjoy - class projects - how to videos and more

Would you like to make a gift card holder that really pops? I designed this box to work with the Pocket Thoughts dies and Rest Relax Enjoy stamps to create a floating element inside the box. My class ladies loved it, so I thought I would film it for you. You can see the video here. 




Other projects are shown in the video including some tips on my display projects using the same stamp set and get the most from the Rest Relax Enjoy stamps. 



We also made a simple masking project using the Attention Shoppers goodies. 


And a blast from the not-so-distant past - we made a card using Cheerful Daisies brought right up to date with Petunia Pop cardstock and ink. 


EXTRA  EXTRA  EXTRA 

As promised for those of you who purchased the Online Exclusive Printables - I have some more sample projects shareables for you. I have added a no-logo selection of projects made using the Frosted Forest bundle to the files. Feel free to share them with you customers on your private groups or in person.  I will be back with a how to video in a week or so too. 


COMING SOON 

I have been working on some Mini Catalogue DSP / Bling / Ribbon printables for you to use in your in person events. To keep within the Stampin' Up! rules, I can't offer these until the catalogue is about to go live to customers - so keep tuned. 


PREVIOUSLY SHARED 

Thank you for your kind comments about how much you learned from my video about the Glass Mat Studio.  My lovely ladies were inspired to order after seeing it and I do say in the video to 'contact your demonstrator to order' - so feel free to share with your customers if it saves you having to film your own version! 

 If you haven't watched you can find it HERE.

Video Tutorial for Front Pop Up Card - From Our Home + July Projects

As promised I am back with some more project inspiration from my July classes. 

I had some feedback that you would like to see some of my class projects created on video rather than just a show and tell - so that is what I have done this month with one that needs a little more explanation. 


This is a simple fancy fold but the key part is knowing where to stamp to get the street running along the back as well as on the front. CLICK HERE to see how along with a show and tell of two more projects. 

 


I made some sample projects for display at class to feature the Perennial Postage Dies (how had I missed them in the spring catalogue?) 


And I also created more projects with the Pocket Thoughts bundle. On the Attention Shoppers bottle one at the end I used a medium pocket on the back of the pull out from the big pocket for a gift card. 



ONLINE EXCLUSIVE PRINTABLES 

Our new July 2024 printables and bonus project printables are now available.  CLICK HERE to find out more.
