One of the perks from being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I get to pre-order items before customers are able to purchase. That way, I get to try new items out, make samples to show what is possible with the new craft items.
I am excited to show you how I organize my new bundles when I receive them in my pre-order.
First, I stamp the stamp set all together after removing the thinner piece of plastic with black ink. Then, I used Tear & Tape to tape the plastic over the stamp images.
Then, I place Tear & Tape the other plastic sheet, the thicker one. I close the paper back in half and TAH-DAH!! it is now safely and securely in the paper.
Another thing I do is tuck in the flap of the plastic envelope so I can easily remove the stamp set. I repeat that for the dies and remove the dies from the double stick tape and onto a magnet sheet. I purchase the 8" x 10" Adhesive Magnetic sheets JH Best Crafts from Amazon.
This is what it looks like after I stamp the stamp set and tape the plastic down and how the dies look on the magnet sheet.
Here is the full video where I stamp them for the first time.
I found this Diamond Top Fold on YouTube and just had to try it. I used the Berry Botanical Vellum that is June's Product of the Month.
Although it is no longer available, there is a new Product of the Month available for only $5 when you spend $75 or more. Only one available to purchase per month.
I also love that it only takes ONE piece to create this fun fold!
It does need a larger envelope to fit, luckily I have some larger envelopes. If you want it to fit in an A2 envelope, cut off 1/2" of the length.
Here are the cards closed.
And here are the cards opened.
And this is them standing up from the top view.
Here are the pieces you need to make this card yourself.
I love the look of this Shadow Squares card and the Scenic Coast DSP is the perfect paper to showcase this technique. I did it two different ways, one with the black squares on the right side.
And this card has the black squares peeking from the left side.
And the bonus is that you can make 2 cards out of one 6 X 6 piece because you only need a 3" X 4" piece to cut out twelve 1" squares.
Here are the pieces you need to make this card.
And the template to cut out two 3" X 4" pieces to make two cards from one 6 X 6 piece of the Scenic Coast DSP.
