Stampin' Up! 2022-2023 Annual Catalog and Gatefold Easel Card

The May 2022- August 2023 Stampin' Up! Catalog is live.  

You can shop all the new goodies now.  

The May Host Code is 2QGUHS96.  Use this host code on all orders under $150.  You will receive a gift directly from me.

Join us on Zoom via  the Saturday Night Crafters Facebook Group for a live catalog launch party with Kathy Ervin at 7:30 PM ET via the Zoom Link in the Events Tab.

I made this Thank You Gatefold Easel Card that I learned from Bobby's Papercraft for one of our fabulous group members Amy Thomas.  She is the sweetest and I wanted to send her a very special card.  

I used the new Tea Boutique Suite Collection of products (158670) and the new 2022-2024 In Color  6x6 Glimmer Paper (159246). I love how this card turned out.
The 2022-2024 6x6 In Color Glimmer Paper really sparkles and adds beauty to the simple design on the outside of the Gate Fold portion of this card.  

I added some of the new 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots to my stamped flower centers (159186).
I stamped my tea cup in Starry Sky ink and then colored wit Stampin' Write Marker in Fresh Freesia.  I stamped my leaves in Parakeet Party the flowers in Fresh Freesia.


Gatefold easel card measurements:


Colored cardstock: I used Starry Night Cardstock (159263)

8 1/2 x 11 on 11 in side cut at 5 1/2


On 8 1/2 side score at 2 1/8 and 6 3/8 remove top left and right panels


Score remaining panel at 2 3/4 to form easel base


Other pieces:


1 x 11 cardstock for Belly Band


(4) 5 1/4 x 1 7/8 Designer Series Paper (DSP)


Glue to bottom panel of 2 3/4 Easel portion on the inside of the card:


4 x 5 1/4 Orchid Oasis Cardstock (159267)


4 x 5 1/4 DSP Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper (158659)


3 3/4 x 5 Basic White for stamping


Die cut embellishments to pop up as Easel stop. 

I fussy cut some Tea pots and popped them up on dimensionals.


Colored Cardstock and White scrap for Belly Band. 

I used circle punches from the new Die  set Stylish Shapes (155314) and Layering Circle dies.  I also stamped and die cut flowers from the Cup Of Tea Bundle (158667)



The envelope is from the Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes Memories & More set (159270)

Honeybee Card Using Faux Bleaching Technique




Today I have another Misty Moonlight card for you using the Honeybee Home stamp set again.  This time I opted to make my own background papers and used the Honeycomb embossing folder.  I absolutely love how cardstock looks when you color over it with Wink Of Stella let it dry and then emboss it.  It is so glittery!

I also did a fun faux bleaching technique I stamped on Misty Moonlight cardstock and then colored that in using the white Watercolor pencil.  It is a fast and easy way to get that bleached look.   

Don't forget to pick up all of your Misty Moonlight products before they retire on May 2nd!
My second card uses the retired Saleabration stamp set Calming Camelia.  


Card Measurements:
Thick Basic White Cardstock: 4 1/4" x 11" scored at 5 1/2"
Lighter Cardstock: 3 5/16" x 4 9/16"
2" x 5 1/4" 
Darker Cardstock: 3 3/8" x 4 5/8" 
Basic White Cardstock: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" 

Scraps Die Cutting:
2" x 2" Basic White
3" x 3" Vellum

Honeybee Home New Meets Old Swap Card

I am so proud of how this Honeybee Home New Meets Old Swap Card turned out.



I absolutely love this card layout.  It is a twist on one of my favorites where I just pivoted the stamped layer at an angle on the card front.  I made this card for a new meets old swap using a retiring In Color along with a brand new stamp set from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

I chose Misty Moonlight as my retiring color and did a monochromatic card using the beautiful paper from the Heart & Home Suite.  This paper is sadly also retiring at the end of the January- June 2022 Mini Catalog period and I am so sad. Thankfully the stamps and dies will be carrying over into the new annual catalog so you can still get the gorgeous Honeybee Home stamps that I used here.

I used the Flowers of Home dies to create an embellishment for the left side of the stamped image and went over the cardstock with lots of Wink Of Stella to make it shiny.  I also colored in the floral image using my Misty Moonlight ink applied with the Wink Of Stella pen as a watercolor wash.

The new stamp set that I am featuring on this card is the Good Feelings stamp set and will be available for purchase on May 3rd.  It is an all sentiment set with bold large fonts and I used them on both the card front as well as on the inside of my card.





Card Measurements: 
5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Misty Moonlight Card Base 
(2) 4 x 5 1/4 Basic White Mat Layers 
3 7/8 x 5 1/8 Designer Series Paper Layer 
2 7/8 x 3 7/8 Basic White Stamped Layer 
3 x 4 Silver Foil Mat Layer 
3 1/8 x 4 1/8 Misty Moonlight Mat Layer 
2 x 4 1/4 Misty Moonlight Scrap for die cut 
2 1/2 x 3 Basic White for punch
