NEW: Fitting Florets Collection
The Fitting Florets Collection has just been released! Stampin’ Up! demonstrators have had the opportunity to play with this collection for a month now. It is time for customers to join in on the fun!
Some of the items in the Fitting Florets Collection will still be offered for sale when the January-May 2023 Mini Catalog debuts. That includes both the Framed Florets Stamp Set and the Framed Floret Dies. When you buy them together as the Framed Florets Bundle you will save 10%.
Limited Fitting Florets Items
During this early release of products from the Fitting Florets Collection, there are some that will be available only while supplies last, or thru January 4, 2023, whichever comes first. This includes a stamp set, Framed and Festive, that can stand alone, without the Fitting Florets Collection. It is perfect for your Christmas card needs!
The consumable items that are limited in quantity and/or time are the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper and Gold Adhesive Backed Swirl embellishments. The paper is so lovely, invoking springtime thoughts. And yet there are a few designs that work for the Christmas season too!
Fitting Florets Card Class
During my live card making demonstration, I shared 3 cards using this amazing collection! You can watch the class here.
For my first card, I shared a fun-fold design and created a very lovely birthday card. This was really quick to put together, and provides a great “wow” factor. The oval dies I used here are very versatile. Here is a look at the finished design.
Fitting Florets Christmas Cards
For my next 2 cards, I showcased how to use the Fitting Florets DSP and create seasonal cards in fun color combos. I tackled the Evening Evergreen Card first, stepping it up with lots of gorgeous gold accents. I used the fanciest oval die cut, and added in the basic oval die as well.
And for my last card of this class, I added in something extra cute: a sweet pair of Cherry Cobbler mittens. I just couldn’t resist pairing this color with the Balmy Blue DSP. For this card, I used the oval die that cuts tiny hearts on the paper, rather than cutting an oval out. But that basic oval die works well for layering purposes every time.
Get Your Card Kits From This Class!
With a qualifying order over $35 in my online store using the Host Code 773YEY33 from November 1-6 2022, I will send you a set of card kits (1 of each design, 3 total) that you can use to recreate these cards at home. Your cards will be easy to put together- I will do all the cutting, die cutting and embossing (but no stamping).
If you miss out on this online class, just look for another one coming soon! You can also see my previous online class here. Join me on Monday evenings at 8pm (EST) for a live class on my FaceBook page, The Maine Stamper. Or watch for my YouTube videos posted shortly after, the The Maine Stamper channel. Hope to see you there!
Color Swap: Who Wore It Better?
I always create a color swap card from my card class. And since it is more difficult to change up Christmas cards with alternate colors, I chose the birthday card instead.
My first card was darker blue and pink, using a Night of Navy card base. And while I changed the tones, my color swap card is also pink (Polished Pink card base) and blue…but Balmy Blue instead of Navy. Here they are for comparison. Which one is your favorite?
