Stampin Up sneak peek: Otterly Adorable Suite card and 12x12" scrapbook page

Do you love otters? Who doesn’t, right? I was so excited to see the new Otterly Adorable Suite Collection in the Stampin’ Up!® Online Exclusives Collection. This is available to demonstrators to pre-order now, and goes live to customers on 5th November 2024.

The Otterly Adorable Suite Collection from Stampin’ Up!® comprises the Otterly Amazing bundle of stamps and dies, Otterly Adorable Designer Series Paper, Lost Lagoon Soft Cording and Riverside Irregular Pearls.

I used the bundle and Designer Series Paper to create a 12x12" scrapbook page and a card.

Eight 12x12 scrapbook pages using Autumn to Remember Kit from Stampin’ Up!®

Have you tried one of the new Stampin’ Up!® scrapbooking workshop kits yet?

I dipped my toe in by ordering the Autumn to Remember Scrapbooking Workshop Kit (166502). I have never scrapbooked in this way, with kits and instructions, so I wanted to see how it works.

I was impressed! The Autumn to Remember Scrapbooking Workshop Kit makes six pages – three double-page spreads – with lots of leftover elements. Cutting instructions are really clear, so you know which way to cut and which way the pattern should go. There are clear photos of the finished projects, as well as paler versions of the projects with each piece clearly labelled (1A, 1B, etc) so you know which goes where.

In case you don’t have your photos ready – as I didn’t for most of these pages – there are photo place holders which are brilliant for getting your projects moving. I know I always used to get stuck by not having my photos ready.

The sheets of pop-out die-cuts are all labelled on the back, too, with the number of the relevant project. This is a really good detail if you like to stick closely to the instructions.

So did I stick closely to the instructions in the Autumn to Remember Scrapbooking Workshop Kit? What do you think?

Three card ideas for Humble Home bundle from Stampin’ Up!®

Humble Home is the Stampin’ Up!® stamp set I have been waiting for. So many times I have had to compromise when making a new home card – but no longer. 

Now I have a versatile set that works for new homes, thank yous and Christmas all in one.

Naturally, after wanting a set like this for so long and putting the Humble Home bundle (164094) at the top of my wish list, I forgot to order it. But I have it now and have have used Humble Home stamp set and matching punch to create three cards. They’re all linked by a simple white card base but they are all very different.

Four simple cards in one using Autumn to Remember Stampin’ Up!® stamp set

Sometimes life demands you keep things simple – and these cards made with the Stampin’ Up!® stamp set Autumn to Remember definitely fall into the simple category.

All I have used is the Autumn to Remember stamp set from the new Stampin’ Up!® Scrapbooking Brochure, four ink pads and some cardstock. 

Christmas scrapbooking made simple

With the launch of Stampin’ Up!®’s new Scrapbooking Brochure, scrapping is very much back on the menu in this house and, very soon I hope, on my class schedule too. The new product range makes scrapbooking really simple.

The launch of the new Stampin’ Up!® range could not have come at a better time for me because the arrival of two great-nieces and a great-nephew is giving me ample photo opportunities.

I have a year of great-niece Lily to scrapbook so I’m starting there, and wanted to show you how this can be achieved very easily with just a few products.

For this double-page spread I used some Crumb Cake 12"x12" cardstock from my stash, along with A Little Bit Festive Designer Series Paper and Joyful Sayings Ephemera Pack. This is without even touching the new Scrapbooking Brochure products as they were still in transit when I made these pages.

I’m a little rusty, scrapbooking-wise, so leaned heavily on the instructions from the Halloween Memories Scrapbooking Workshop kit in the Stampin’ Up!® Scrapbooking Brochure. But as I got into my stride, I went off-piste for the second page.

More Yuletide Village Christmas projects

 

I am having so much fun using the new Yuletide Village stamp set from the Stampin’ Up!® Mini Catalogue.

Last week I showed you some subtle copper and white projects, but this week I have blasted my Yuletide Village (164310) projects with colour.

Stampin Up Frames and Flowers card and scrapbook page - two in one.

Who likes a twofer? I do! This is when you get two projects in one go, and is what happened when I made this Stampin’ Up!® scrapbook page using Frames & Flowers Designer Series Paper.

Stampin’ Up!® is expanding its traditional scrapbooking range, following the rescue of scrapbook company Close to My Heart, so this is an excellent time to get back into scrapbooking.

Masking techniques with Musical Jamboree stamp set from Stampin' Up!®

When I saw the Musical Jamboree stamp set in the latest Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue, I just had to have it because that wolf looks so much like my own dog.

So far I have made three cards using this fun stamp set, all of which you can see here.
