I love, love, love this card! My downline, and friend, Kim Quade sent this to me. It's just darling. I love how she used the Dress Up Framlits and Polka Dot parade designer paper to create the dress. And I especially love the sun hat made from the Small & Large oval punches! Too stinkin' cute Kim!

VIDEO: Envelope Liners Framelits Dies
August 6, 2013 by
Why not make the inside of your envelope look as fancy as the card you are giving. It's easy to do when you use Stampin' Up!'s Envelope Liners Framelits Dies #132172. They are sold in a set of three so you can make liners for our Square, Note Card and Medium Envelopes. They were designed to be used with a single sheet of Designer Series Paper, or cardstock. If you are someone who enjoys making cards, these Envelope Liners Framelits dies are just what you need to add that finishing touch to your project.
DIRECTIONS
- To use the Framelits dies, place the paper on a Cutting Pad, then the Framelit die with the raised edge down, then another Cutting Pad.
- Place the Cutting Pads on tab two of the Multipurpose Platform and then run that through the Big shot machine.
- The liners will slide easily inside an envelope -- use just a little bit of adhesive to hold it in place.

DIRECTIONS & TIPS
- To use the die build your regular sandwich using the Standard Cutting Pads, and run it through the Big Shot.
- This die is different from our other dies -- it's a steel roll die and that means it can cut three to four pieces of paper at a time. It can also cut fabric! When you have cut your paper you will have five bow pieces. Now you can get to bow making.
- You will need a bone folder, and SNAIL Adhesive. Run your bone folder over the paper and break up the paper fibers and then assemble!
- To make the large bow you will need the large piece, the two bow end pieces and the wrap piece.
- Put a little bit of SNAIL in the middle of the large piece, and fold the ends of the large piece in on its self.
- Then bend the wrap piece around the middle to create a finished look.
- Then adhere the end pieces onto the bow.
- To make the smaller bow you will need to cut out two pieces of paper on the Gift Bow Bigz L Die.
- Take two of the bow pieces and fold them in half.
- Adhere them to each other in the middle and assemble the same way as large bow.
- You can play with the pieces to create as simple or as elaborate bows as you want!
Don't have a Big Shot? We've still got you covered, check out our new Pretty Presents Designer Bows. It comes with enough to make ten paper bows, and it looks fabulous on our new Extra-Large Gift Box. Bows are so much fun!

CARD: Wishing You Holiday Catalog Card
August 2, 2013 by
Having some fun in the new 2013 Holiday Catalog from Stampin Up (just released yesterday). This card features LOTS of new goodies you'll find in the catalog. Wishing You stamp set, Season of Style DSP, Gift Bows Die and more (will post supplies below).
My friend Diana Hickey gave me this card. I especially want to point out a couple of super cool embellishment ideas she used: notice the Rhinesetone on top of the button in 2 places on the card, and also the ticket duo punch in crumb cake over the edge of the olive tag. Perfect finishing touch!

NEW PRODUCT: Thinlit Card Dies for Flip Flop – Swing Cards
August 1, 2013 by
There are some products you just have to see in action before you realize how much you need them, right? This is one of them! Plan to feature these dies in your events and share the video. When your customers see what they can do, they will place their orders.
These new card dies come with extra die pieces that have versatile designs, so you can use them on other projects, not just flip cards. (The Circle Card Thinlits Die comes with 10 total pieces; the Label Card Thinlits Die comes with nine total pieces.)
With the number of dies you're getting, plus the die that creates the card itself, the price is a great value-especially to create an interactive card!
- Do a mass production of these impressive "flip" cards. They would make great announcements, invitations, or Christmas cards.
- The main shape in the cards (circle and label) can work with a lot of our stamp images so you can create tons of different kinds of cards using many different stamp sets. Here are just a few suggestions to get you started:
Label Card Thinlits Die (item 133479):
- Happy Day Stamp Set (item 130294 W item 130297 C)
Circle Card Thinlits Die (item 133480):
- Worth the Wait Stamp (item 131094 W)
- Five-Way Flower Stamp (item 131088 W)
Both card dies pair well with:
- Oh, Hello Stamp Set (item 131931 W item 130733 C)
- Yippee-Skippee! Stamp Set (item 131341 W item 131344 C)
- Really Good Greetings Stamp Set (item 130330 W item 130333 C)
- Regarding Dahlias Stamp Set (item 130324 W item 130327 C)
- These dies also work well with our new magnetic platform (item 130658) so you can place the dies exactly where you want them!

2013 Holiday Catalog |
COOL NEW WAY TO FEW THE HOLIDAY CATALOG
Be sure to try out the new augmented reality feature--available today--to see videos that show our products in action. It's easy enough for newbies, fun enough for tech-savvy users, and free!
- Install the free Layar app to your smartphone or tablet.
- Using the Layar app, scan any catalog page that has the Stampin' Up! Interactive icon on it.
While you're using this feature, be sure to share your favorite products and videos on social media so your friends can see what there is to love about Stampin' Up! products.
Different mobile devices work differently with different apps. Some are faster than others, some take more steps to load videos, etc. With the Layar app, we have noticed these differences in user experience too.
Things to know:
- Different mobile devices will work differently with the Layar app. Some are faster than others, some will take more steps to load the videos, etc.
- You need to hold your mobile device far enough from the page that the image is completely in the device's screen before the video will load.
- Hold your device over the page until the video loads. Be patient-the video might take a while to load, depending on your device.
- Most devices will start playing a video automatically, but some will have a play icon that you need to tap to start the video. And some won't show a play icon but will still require you to tap the screen on your device to start the video. So if a video doesn't start playing automatically, tap the play icon or screen of your device. (If you're using a Samsung Galaxy phone, you'll need to tap the box that appears on the screen to start the video.)
- If you don't want to hold your device over the page for the duration of the video, just tap the video and then pull it away from the page-the video will keep playing.
- From the video can go directly to the online store so they can buy a product immediately, and they can also share their favorite products on social media - Be sure to enter my name TAMI WHITE as your demonstrator of it doesn't already come up so we both get credit.
