New Scrapbooking Products From Stampin’ Up! Beginning September 4!

Did you hear? We have a new companion scrapbooking brochure to the September–December 2024 Mini Catalog! That’s right! We are excited to introduce the September 2024 Scrapbooking Brochure.

Starting with the products in the September 2024 Scrapbooking Brochure, we are opening that availability up to EVERYONE! Scrapbooking is another way to meaningfully craft. Preserving memories in a scrapbook album not only keeps your memories recorded and safe, it’s also a great way to share your memories with family and friends! The potential to strengthen relationships through scrapbooking is just one of the many reasons that makes us so excited for this new scrapbooking brochure.

As mentioned above, this is a companion brochure to the September–December 2024 Mini Catalog, meaning products in the brochure beautifully complement and coordinate with some mini catalog products. You’ll also find exciting new product lines like *spoiler alert* Two-Tone Cardstock in Stampin’ Up! colors! But let’s not give it all away here—download the digital brochure to get a firsthand look at all the new products.

This is a digital-only scrapbooking brochure, full of scrapbooking essentials and exciting new products.  So you won’t find these products in a catalog.  As a companion brochure to the September–December 2024 Mini Catalog, the products inside coordinate with products from the mini catalog (and some online only products, too!).  The Workshop Kits and some new product releases *hint* Two-Tone Cardstock *hint* will add variety and inspiration to your holiday crafts this year!

Products will be available like the current Online Exclusive releases, meaning that some products will be reordered when inventory is low, and others will only be available while supplies last.

Catch this fun video about all the fun scrapbooking to come!

Have fun shopping the new scrapbooking products beginning September 4!!  And order early to ensure the best selection!

New Products for Scrapbooking Arrive Today at Stampin’ Up!

As you may be aware, some months ago, Stampin’ Up! purchased some of the Close to My Heart range of products. Until now, only those who’ve had a Close to My Heart (CTMH) account have been able to purchase these products due to the limited quantity available.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

From today, all the products from their cardmaking and scrapbooking line in our store are available for anyone to purchase! Please be aware that as these quantities are limited, we are anticipated to sell out of these fairly quickly. Be assured that Stampin’ Up! will be adding new products to our scrapbooking line in the very near future.

So you can add to cart anything either the Stampin’ Up! or Close to My Heart lines!

You can start shopping right here!

A Mediterranean-Flavored Split Card!

The Split Card design is a fun way to use similar OR contrasting Designer Series Papers in an easy way, even though it looks more difficult than it is. Here’s my card using the Mediterranean Blooms

Here were my supplies:

  • Night of Navy cardstock base of 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4”
  • 2 pieces of coordinating DSP cut to 5 1/4” x 4” 
  • 2 pieces of Basic White cardstock, cut to 5 1/4” x 4”, one for front and one for inside of card
  • 2 strips of Night of Navy cardstock, cut at 5 1/2 x 1/2”
  • 2 circles:  one at 2” in Night of Navy cardstock, one at 1 3/4” in white cardstock to stamp the sentiment on.

Cut the DSP papers at angles, BOTH papers at the same time, exactly on top of each other.  The cuts do not have to be exact, just eye up and do something similar to what you see on the sample card above – no need to measure!  Mix and match the two papers so you have a contrasting paper in the middle.  You’ll have three pieces left over for another card, which you can see below. Adhere the middle one down, lining up with the bottom corner.  Take the two outer pieces and add the narrow strip of Navy cardstock underneath the panel, and trim off the edges.   Adhere those to the card — they will overlap the middle piece.  

I used the Deckled Circles Dies to cut out two circles, one in Night of Navy and one in Basic White. Stamp on the white circle and adhere to the bigger circle and pop onto the card front.  Add a bow and embellish!

Here’s what the second card will look like using the same two sheets of DSP. Isn’t that fun? You can use with any of your favorite coordinating Designer Series Papers!

Pals July Blog Hop: My Favorite Thing!

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is our Favorites from the New Catalog. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

My project was created from a suite found in the new 2024-25 Annual Catalog: the Full of Life Suite Collection, found on p. 42-43. This bright and colorful suite, complete with fun, scripty fonts, dynamic and modern designer series papers, and fun dies appealed to me from my first dive into the catalog! Here’s my card:

The negative space created by using the diecut on the white panel is completed by replacing the space with a different color. It also gives it a ‘shadowbox’ look. Here’s how I did it:

  • Basic White card base of 5 1/2″ by 8 1/2,” scored at 4 1/4″
  • Coastal Cabana Panel 5 3/8″ by 4 1/8″
  • Full of Life Designer Series paper panel, 5 1/4″ by 4″
  • Basic White Panel, 3 1/2″ by 5 1/4″

Directions:

  • Adhere the DSP to the Coastal Cabana panel, and then adhere to the card base.
  • Take the Basic White panel and cut out a leaf die toward the bottom of the white panel. Then cut a leaf die from Coastal Cabana and one from the Full of Life DSP. Stack the white diecut underneath the Coastal Cabana diecut to give it some additional thickness, and then add a small bit of white glue to attached it inside the cut-out hole you created on the Basic White Panel. Use white glue to adhere the DSP leaf cutout to the panel as well.
  • Stamp a sentiment from the Friends for Life stamp set onto the Basic White panel, and then pop the panel onto the card case with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • Add some Iridescent Faceted Gems to finish the card and give it some sparkle! Have you SEEN this gems? they’re so delightful and detailed!

This card goes together quickly, and is elegant in its simplicity, in my opinion. Here is the entire suite, and you can, of course look online to see the separate designs of these luscious papers:

I hope you enjoyed seeing my project. All the products I used can be found below – just click on one to shop with me!

We have even more inspiration to show you, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. Please mark your calendars for our next blog hop next month, when our theme will be Summer Vacations.

Until then, have fun in your craft space.
