New 2020-2021 Stampin' UP! Catalogs Video

The new catalog has been available for 1 week now and if you haven't notice it is HUGE! Over 190 pages of Stampin' Fun! As fun as it may be, it can be overwhelming for sure! So I've created this little video to help you look through the catalogs (the cute mini one too). 

So now that you've seen it, how to do you pick what to order first?  Above is my top 5 list of items to order first! Also, this may come as a shocker but do not over order. What?! I know I am crazy (because I sell stamps for a living)! But hear me out. Lets say you order 10 of your favorite stamp sets. But you only use 3 of them for the whole year! That does not bring you Joy or me Joy either. Then because you didn't use what you bought you don't want to buy anymore. I want you to use your stamps to stamp and create, not to gather dust. So, only order what you can chew (or stamp). I made myself a rule. I can only buy 3 stamp sets at a time and can only buy more after I've used those sets! Now there are no rules on items that are consumable (paper, ink, embellishments, etc.)!  

You can order by clicking on the link below or the shop with me tab above!

Manly Monday-World of Good Father's Day Cards

On my Facebook page, The Joy of Stampin' with Rachael,  each Monday for the year 2020 I've been making four manly cards each Monday and thus created Four Manly Monday. I found in my own stock pile of cards I lacked ready made cards for the men and even for little boys. Join me, and make Monday your Manly Card day as well! As you do this, your card collection will grow and grow and making maculine cards will become easier each time. 

Here are the four I created this Monday using the World of Good Suite and the dies from Word Wishes. I usually make each card the same and just change it up a little bit. This time I flipped some of the DSP and changed the orientation.

I featured the World of Good Speciallty DSP that just came out in the New Annual Stampin' UP! Catalog. 

The words from this set, "You make the World a better place" works great for a Father's Day card.

All the same products just changed a little bit for all four cards.

You can make this card too by following the directions below and by shopping at my website!

A Jar of Flowers Easel Card

An easel card is a great way to make a card "pop" with ease! I made two different styles using the Jar of Flowers stamp set by ©Stampin' UP! 

This card features a monochromatic color scheme. Where I used Night of Navy and Whisper White as the theme and with just a little bit of color from the linen thread and Crumb Cake label.

 

This card I added a little bit of color using my Stampin' Blends and I flipped the In Good Taste Designer Series Paper over to get this wooden look. 

Easel Cards can stand up all by them selves and is great way to display on a table or desk. 

I made this Easel card on my Facebook page, The Joy of Stampin' with Rachael for Fun Fold Friday using the Jar of Flowers stamp set from ©Stampin' UP!. You can make this card too by watching the video and following the directions below and buying all the supplies from my online store. Online Store: https://joyofstampinrachael.stampinup.net

Steps

1. Cut and score all your paper and cut out die pieces out with die cutting machine.
2. Stamp your images onto the Stitched Nested Whisper White cut out with either the Night of Navy or Memento Ink. Color the Memento Ink image with Stampin' Blends.
3. Using liquid glue (Tombow) attach your cardstock layer with your DSP for the card front. Also glue your Whisper White to the inside of the card base with the DSP layer on the bottom and the strip at the top of the DSP (can attach with dimensionals see video).
4. Attach the rectangle die with the nested image with liquid glue and then use dimensionals to attach to the card front. Tie a bow with linen thread and use glue dot to attach to the jar. Use the classic label punch on some Crumb Cake and stamp image (I used words from Someone Special stamp set, but use whatever will fit). Attach with mini dimensionals and add rhinestone to the end of the label.
5. Use tear and tape at the bottom of your card base only under you 2 3/4 score line. Then attach your card front to the card base! Use Bone fold to help with score lines and you have created an easel card! Prop it up and see how it looks!
