We are fast drawing to an end of our Chain Card Swap. It’s round 9 of the Card Chain Swap that we started in May. It’s a fun journey with 9 other Australian demonstrators. It is a card version of what is called “Chinese Whispers” in Australia. Each of us designed a card (in mailing round 1) and sent it off to one of the other participants. That person CASE-d (Copy And Share Everything / Copy And Selectively Edit) the card and send their version on to the next person. The card made its way around until finally a version came home to the maker. This is the second card in this series of blog hops for each of the card designs to share the fun and amazement at the evolution.
My card below was the 3rd version of the card made by Monique Fielder, from the ACT. So if you want to see how the design started out be sure to check hers out first and follow around in order. Some of the ladies blog and some share to their Facebook Pages (or both).
To make my card I used the Celebratory Sips Designer Series Papers. With the cups coming from one of the patterns. It is such a fun paper pack. And the ‘Cheers and Sips’ stamps (also matching dies too) really go well with this. Such a fun simple design that you could use over and over again.
Do you love exclusive product? I sure do. If you love exclusive products, you’re going to love Product of the Month, a promotion centred around a special product release every month. The Product of the Month items are specially designed to be some of the best items Stampin’ Up! has to offer that aren’t available in any of our catalogues or our Online Exclusives. Every month we’ll release a new item that is only available for purchase once per account. These items will be limited quantity and are likely to sell out quickly—once they’re sold out, they’re gone for good!
So to help share the love of this exclusive product I’ve joined together with some other demonstrators to do a Product of the Month Blog Hop. If you’ve joined me from one of the other ladies blogs – Welcome. If you’ve see my post via following my blog or seeing a link on Facebook – welcome back. I know twice in one day for me to blog is normally unheard of. But This product is so fun that we couldn’t wait.
This fun fold card fold back down flat to fit in a standard C6 envelope. I used the Arches Dies, and fussy cut the flowers from a sheet of the Designer Series Papers.
True Blue Florals 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper
Feeling blue never felt so good! Whether you’re making a card, a scrapbook spread, or some other kind of paper craft, this monochromatic patterned paper will surely inspire you.
To see everyone’s projects using the product of the month you can check out the list here.
I plan to be back on the blog again next week after I finalise the Scrapbooking Layout Idea that I’ve had for these papers. So watch this space.
PROMOTION DETAILS
Stampin’ Up! Account. To participate in Product of the Month, you MUST have a Stampin’ Up! account to enable you to purchase online from my website and Stampin’ Up!
A New Product Every Month. We’ll release a new Product of the Month item every month. The Product of the Month items will be available at midnight sometime near the beginning of every month. Usually the first Tuesday of the month.
Qualifying Amounts. You can purchase the Product of the Month item for only $9 AUD when you spend $125 AUD or more in a single order. Your basket total MUST be $125 AUD or more at checkout to qualify. You cannot add the Product of the Month to your basket until you’ve reached the qualifying amount. If you use Stampin’ Rewards, coupons, or discount codes on your order and your basket amount falls below $125 AUD, you’ll need to add items in your basket to get the total at or above the qualifying amount again. If you reach the qualifying amount, add the Product of the Month to your basket, and the Product of the Month sells out before you’re able to check out, you won’t be able to complete your checkout until you remove the product from your basket.
Product of the Month Price. Currently the Product of the Month is only $9 AUD. This should be the same month to month, but we’ll keep you informed if anything changes.
Product of the Month Purchasing Limit. The Product of the Month is limited to one month’s product per Stampin’ Up! account. Additionally, the Product of the Month items are only available while supplies last, so once they’re all sold out, they’re gone for good. So, if you purchase the January Product of the Month, you cannot purchase another January Product of the Month. However, you could purchase the previous December Product of the Month or the new February Product of the Month, provided those products are available for purchase and you meet the qualifying amount once for December and again for February. If you don’t meet the qualifying amount in January until later in the month and the January Product of the Month sells out in the first two weeks, you won’t be able to purchase it. Product of the Month items that are still available for purchase after the month they’re released will have an “exclusive” product tag.
Available Until Sold Out. Product of the Month items will be available until they’re sold out. Once they’re sold out, they won’t be available for purchase again. If you didn’t qualify to purchase the Product of the Month during the month it was first offered and it’s still available in the following months, you can purchase that product once you reach the qualifying amount. So, if you didn’t qualify in January but you qualify in February, you can choose to buy the January Product of the Month, provided it’s still available for purchase and you meet the qualifying amount. If you buy the January Product of the Month but still want the February Product of the Month, you’ll need to qualify again.

My card below was the 2nd version of the card made by Genna Gifford, a fellow Melbournian. So if you want to see how the design started out be sure to check hers out first and follow around in order. Some of the ladies blog and some share to their Facebook Pages (or both).
This fabulous technique is really much easier than it looks. Cut your cardstock layers to size of choice. Tack lightly the three stamping layers on top of each other. Stamp as normal. Yes it won’t stamp well over the edges where the layers cover each other. But that it easily covered up by the mat layers. I used a retired stamp set – but similar sets are avaliable to purchase – or search your stash for larger images with a base and outline/shade stamp for best results. To see the products used in this card go check out my website.

My card is made using the Joyful Days Memories and More Cards, some coloured cardstock, Traditional Sparkling Sequins, Greetings for You Mix & Match Ephemera Pack and the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder. The red plaid triangles are a 3×4″ Memories and More card cut into a 3×3″ square and then into triangles. I embossed a 6×4″ piece of the Mossy Meadow Cardstock and used the red triangles as a template to cut the off the corners on the embossed pieces (of course I used those in another card later). And for another fun thing – the emphemera pack pieces (my sentiment in the wreath) come complete with an adhesive back. So fast and simple to use. You can check out all the products that I used on this card here.

My card below was the 8th version of the card made by Mandy Witherby from New South Wales. So if you want to see how the design started out be sure to check hers out first and follow around in order. Some of the ladies blog and some share to their Facebook Pages (or both).
This card is a Z fold card, with the top of the Z being the card front folded in half back on itself. I’ve used the Arches Dies to create the front sentiment spot, which has been mirror on the inside. When the card is closed you can see the inside arch which was used as the spot to write on the inside. The papers are from the Kintsugi Inspirations Designer Series Papers, whilst the flowers are from the Extaordinary Flora Washi Tape. I love this washi tape. It has matching dies and stamps, so you can die cut it out to use like I have, you can even stamp VersaMark Ink on it to emboss the outlines of the flowers and leaves. So much fun. To check out all the products that I used on this card go here.
In May, I started a fun journey with 9 other Australian demonstrators. We call it a “Card Swap Chain”. It is a card version of what is called “Chinese Whispers” in Australia. Each of us designed a card (round 1) and sent it off to one of the other participants. That person CASE-d (Copy And Share Everything / Copy And Selectively Edit) the card and send their version on to the next person. The card made its way around until finally a version came home to the maker. This is the first card in this series of blog hops for each of the card designs to share the fun and amazement at the evolution.
My card below was the 7th version of the card made by Julia Quinn from Queensland. So if you want to see how the design started out be sure to check hers out first and follow around in order. Some of the ladies blog and some share to their Facebook Pages (or both).
I loved the fun folds used in this card, but I wanted to create with some papers that I’d been loving that had arrived in my most recent order at the time. Kintsugi Inspirations. The trick is to place the centre panel on a hinge so that it pops out when standing up open. If you’d like to see what I used for this card you can go here.
Sometimes the cards change so much that if you only saw the first and the last card, you wouldn’t think that they are on the same chain. Sometimes they don’t change a lot at all. If you follow the chain through you can see where the changes happened and understand the evolution.
