Meant To Be

Posted on January 28, 2019 by Susan Horr

This is another card we made at our monthly stamp club meeting. I used products from the 2019 Occasions Catalog. The stamp set is called Meant To Be. It has matching dies called Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies. These dies are so much fun because some of them are very different. Some only do stitching and others cut out. Here is a video that Stampin’ Up!® did showing you this stamp and die set.

The colors I used to make this card are Balmy Blue, Mint Macaron and So Saffron. I wanted to show the club members that you don’t have to just use the usual Valentine colors and that this set can be used for more than just Valentines.

The background for this card was cut out using the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I am warning you now. You are going to see a lot of cards made with these dies. They are awesome and my favorite thing in the Occasion Catalog.

Another great thing is if you buy the Meant To Be Bundle, you will be eligible to get free products from the 2019 Sale-a-bration Catalog! There is nothing better than free!

Meant To Be

Posted on January 22, 2019 by Susan Horr

The of the great things that Stampin’ Up!® now does is to add dies to a set that do something different than just cut out an image. Yes, of course, they cut out the images in the matching stamp set but they have also been including dies that do something different.

I made this card using the stamp set called Meant To Be from the 2019 Occasions Catalog. This stamp set is perfect for Valentine’s Day. It also has a set of matching dies called Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies. The fun thing is they also added some special dies to this set. If you look at my card you will see the stitched scalloped edges on both sides of the All My Love Designer Series Paper. That was done by a die in this set. The other special thing is the heart itself was cut out using two separate dies. One cut the stitching around the heart and the other cut the heart out. Actually, there is a second thing that die does. It cuts the heart and cut a stitched scallop around the heart. I used it in this card (bottom right in Whisper White). Isn’t that fun?!

The colors I used for this card are Lovely Lipstick and Whisper White. I popped up the heart with Dimensionals and used a piece of 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon in Lovely Lipstick.

Favorite Occasions Catalog Challenge

Posted on January 11, 2019 by Susan Horr

Hello everyone! Today’s Stamp Off Challenge is to use our favorite product from the 2019 Occasions Catalog. This was.a hard challenge because I love so many things from that catalog. Geared Up Garage is my favorite stamp set with matching dies. Oh wait, maybe it is Meant To Be. Well, I do love that but Piece Of Cake is so cute yet, I love the big words in Life Is Grand. Hence, this is my dilemma. I had to do some thinking here and realized if I could only buy one thing from this catalog (can you imagine how awful that would be?) it would be the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies.

The thing that is different than most other stitched rectangle dies is this set is meant to layer with each other and make frames. Each die cuts a stitching in both the piece you are cutting out as well and the outside piece that is left so it leaves you with a frame with both edges stitched.

To make this card, I first cut out the frames using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies in Whisper White, Blushing Bride and Calypso Coral. Then I used an Aqua Painter with Blushing Bride Ink and painted the background onto the Whisper White card base. I stamped the hearts is Calypso Coral and then cut them out using the Meant To Be stamp set with the matching dies called Be Mine Stitched Framelits. You can save 10% by purchasing these in a Bundle. Then I just put it all together.

Now, let’s go see what are Buffy’s and Jackie’s favorites from this catalog. Maybe they had an easier time picking out what to use but somehow I doubt that!
