But first, a few house-keeping notes…

Expect Long Delays For Class Kits—The USPS is expecting unprecedented volume this holiday season due to a large increase in online purchases and, likely, a shortage of workers due to Covid-related absences. I've been receiving an extraordinary amount of inquiries about my class kits not arriving when expected, and those packages that can be tracked have confirmed that delays of 5-12 days are certainly happening. Please be patient as you wait for your class kits. 
 
LIVE Class Holiday Schedule—I'll be taking some time off for the holidays, so here are some changes to the LIVE Classes schedule:
  • December 17—Sneak Peek of NEW Mini Catalog Products & Paper Share info!
  • December 24—No LIVE Class…Merry Christmas!
  • December 31—No LIVE Class…Happy New Year!

Whisper White Being Replaced By Basic White—Stampin' Up! announced that our amazing Whisper White cardstock will be replaced by a new paper called Basic White. Unfortunately, the supplier’s mill producing our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. 

"We know Whisper White has a huge fan base; we’re big fans, too! And we are crushed that it’s going away. Even though this decision was out of our hands, rest assured that we jumped right into action to find the best replacement paper possible. We have dedicated many hours to source and test alternative cardstock options from several suppliers to find the perfect fit that still maintains the Stampin’ Up! quality you know and trust. We are happy to share that we have found a winner for our new cardstock, Basic White!

The quality of our new Basic White was thoroughly tested by our quality assurance and product teams. It also tested very well with demonstrators and concept artists who gave it a huge thumbs up. We believe in the quality of the new Basic White cardstock and we know it will become your new crafting staple!"

All Whisper White items are now "while supplies last" with a limit of 2. Print out a flyer with a complete list of affected products.

Happiest Birthday Joy Fold Cards
These fun-fold cards are sure to bring joy to the recipient on their special day!  The cards are created by combining two card bases that overlap each other, folding this way and that way! Notice that you can make the card front open to the left or to the right, depending on how you lay it out.

Background Basics—Start by cutting two Soft Sea Foam card bases: 4-1/4" x 8-3/4", scored at the 5-1/2" mark and 8-1/2" x 3", scored at the 4-1/4" mark. Next, I adhered a 4-1/2" x 3-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock in the center of the inside of the larger card base. This one will open left-to-right. I added a 3" x 4" piece of Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper to the front flap of that card base.

 
For the smaller card base, which will open right-to-left, I adhered another Forever Greenery piece measuring 4" x 2-3/4". This card base is mounted onto the Whisper White piece.

Sweet Sentiment—The Happiest of Birthdays sentiment is the focal point of this fancy card. I stamped one of the sentiments in Pretty Peacock ink onto a Whisper White Hippo & Friends die-cut label. I added a 4-1/4" x 3/4" strip of Old Olive cardstock across the card front, then popped up the label with Dimensionals.
 
Finishing Touches—I added a couple of Shaded Spruce Holiday Rhinestone Jewels on the Old Olive strip for some sparkle.

Two Cool—The second version begins with a Thick Very Vanilla two-part card base. I assembled it with the opening going in the opposite direction of the first card. The larger card base has a 3" x 4" piece of Very Vanilla textured with the Wrapped In Texture Embossing Folder. The smaller card base has a piece of Poinsettia Place DSP for a wintery look.

Finishing Touches—This time, the strip across is in Bumblebee cardstock and the sentiment is stamped in matching Soft Suede ink.  I added frosted Elegant Faceted Gems on the strip, which also adds to the wintery look!

 
Create the first card as part of my 5-Card LIVE Class Kit and the make both with my 10-Card complete Happiest of Birthdays Class Kit.
