Song of My Heart Stampers

February 2022 Class of the Month Club: Dahlia Days

I had sooo much fun coming up with the six projects for this month's class, featuring the delightful new Dahlia Days stamp set and dies from Stampin' Up's 2022 spring mini catalog. This set makes fabulously pretty backgrounds and comes with lots of different sentiments and some great focal point images and a label you'll use again and again.

Here's how my online club works: every month I prepare a class from scratch, with four projects and at least two bonus layouts plus a fancy fold. I format it all in a full-color, 7-9 page document you can print out or save on your device to reference while you're working.

The class files include not only measurements and step by step instructions, but also complete supply lists, bonus tips about caring for your stamps, stamping basics for beginners, and even mailing tricks from the pros. It really is like taking a class with me!

To participate, all you have to do is: shop with the code for the month (this month's code is WVYKTJWR) at http://bit.ly/shopwithLyssa. Your order needs to be $35 or more before shipping and tax. The class files are emailed to you automatically when you use the code.

You don't have to purchase the featured stamp set (shown below)--it can be any $35 worth of Stampin' Up that you need to order. And you can take advantage of Sale-A-Bration 2022 and choose a freebie for every $50 spent--no limits!

After you've shopped, you can look forward to some happy mail from me, including a handmade thank you card filled samples. Give the generously-sized bits and pieces a try and see if any of those new products will be added to your wish list!

I'll keep track of your participation points, and when you've played along five times, you get a free $30 shopping spree. Or, you can keep saving up points and get a $60 shopping spree when you've collected ten.

And did I mention that YOU decide when you want to play? The points don't have to be collected consecutively. Our class/club is uniquely designed to fit YOUR needs and crafting budget.

Sound like fun? It IS! I hope to see your name pop up with this month's code WVYKTJWR so I can send you your goodies and you can start creating. Let's play! Shop now

FREE Valentines at the Studio February 4th!

Stop in to the Studio between 1-6 p.m. on Friday, February 4th, 2022, and pick out a free Valentine card for your sweetie! One per person (additional cards & envelopes can be purchased for $2 each.)

You can select from my collection of ready-made cards, or sit down and make one if you have time to stay and stamp a little!

Let's spread a little love in February!

Here's a bunch of different ones I've been working on--if you see one you just gotta have, let me know and I'll set it aside for you! I have quite the collection, from elegant to punny and everywhere in between!

Fun, eh? Don't forget--set a phone reminder right now to help you remember to drop in THIS Friday-- you can even take a minute to shop downtown for a gift certificate from Literatus Books & Company or his favorite restaurant to tuck inside--and mark it off your list of things to do!

You know you've been wanting to sneak in a little stamping anyway. Here's the PERFECT excuse!

What I made with my February 2022 Suite Sampler Box!

I can't wait to share what I made with my Suite Sampler this month! The featured collection is the Heart & Home suite from Stampin' Up's spring mini catalog, and it is a gorgeously trendy, white wood Hamptons cottage-style with a timeless vintage vibe. View the collection in my online store!

So as you know, if you've been hanging around Song of My Heart very long, each month I make samples for your inspiration so that you can see how far one of my exclusive Suite Sampler boxes stretch, and get an idea of the potential for all the fabulously coordinating projects possible. This month I made 6 scrapbook page and 14 cards--and I still had paper left over!

Here's some of my favorite projects from February 2022:

For access to the full Suite Sampler gallery plus samples uploaded by subscribers each month, click here (it's a free private Facebook group!) Click on Albums, and you'll see two new albums each month. One for scrapbooking fans, and one for cardmakers!

What is a Suite Sampler subscription box? Well, basically, I do a little shopping for you! I put together a generous, color-coordinated sampling of products including papers, cardstock, trims and embellishments based around one of Stampin' Up's suites, and mail it to you Priority Mail by the 15th of each month. I work hard on these boxes-- I want you to say WOW--every month!

Each month I use the box contents to create about 15 projects, both cards and pages, to show what you can do with yours! There are no stamps or ink included, so you can either work with what you already own, or decide if you want to purchase the coordinating stamp set and/or dies to go with it all. The flexibility stays in YOUR hands!

The Suite Sampler is NOT A KIT-- your box will be FULL of fun parts and pieces that match with the style and colors of the patterned papers, plus FULL sheets of 12x12 and 8.5 x 11 to coordinate. You can use my inspiration samples as a guide, or set out on your own and see where the mojo takes you!

My Suite Samplers save you TONS of money--because you won't have to purchase full packs of anything in order to try it all! You'll get to enjoy trying out all sorts of suites without a massive investment--and you'll LOVE the shot of mojo every month that a brand new box of irresistibly pretty papers and colors will give you.

Here's a sneak peek of SOME of the February 2022 box!

***Please note this is the Heart & Home February 2022 Box. If you are viewing this post after February 12th, your subscription will begin with March's box, which is themed around Stampin' Up's gorgeous "New Horizons" suite from the spring mini catalog.***

Not a Suite Sampler subscriber yet? Did I mention....

To participate, simply request to start receiving the $29 invoice on the 1st of the month. Pay by the 10th ONLY when you want to participate based on the theme, announced in advance. Easy! The boxes ship out around the 15th of the Month, Priority Mail.

 

You're going to love it! See why this Suite Sampler program has been growing steadily for the past three years--word is getting around how generous the boxes are and how awesome it is to have everything that coordinates so you can just grab your trimmer and adhesive and sit down to create gorgeous projects.

Free Tutorial: WOW backgrounds with new brushing stencils

This technique is so easy, I really hope you give it a whirl! I can't wait to play with more ink colors with these new stencils (#158142, $10/6 pack). I need more Blending Brushes so I can try ALL the colors, too!

For this one I used some of the super tiny tags from the Messages die with the Playful Alphabet dies to spell my message. I was tickled to find another use for them. Wouldn't they be cute on a scrapbook page?!

I had to make a quick video as I was making these cards, they were just TOO cute!

I could hardly put these stencils away--I just wanted to keep playing! What a lot of fun for just ten bucks. Be sure to add them to your next Stampin' Up order--you won't regret it!

New Mini Card Front Fold is easy and cute!

Dawn (Song of My Heart's newest helper!) and I have been having the best time gathering new fancy folds for you all! Leave me a comment if you're really digging all the new EASY fun folds lately, and the increased number of videos, too.

Here's our latest collaboration, the Mini Card Front fancy fold. Basically, there's a baby card folded into a grown up card. Two cards in one--what could be better than that?!

Isn't that SO fun?!! I just love it. The size of some of the small baby-sized card panels make it a perfect use for scrap pieces of patterned paper, too. And there's lots of surface area to show off all the stamps or sayings in your coordinating sets.

Here's what I used to make mine... then check out the video of me making this card live on Facebook!

New Calming Camellias free printable idea sheet for Sale-A-Bration!

How we love Sale-A-Bration! I can't believe we're already at the half-way point of this fantastic sale. Where has January flown? There is sooo much to show you, I can barely keep up with all the FREE new goodies!

To help YOU get easy, right-to-hand ideas for all the freebies you've been earning with every $50 ordered during Sale-A-Bration 2022, I've created printable one-page idea sheets. Print them out, fold in quarters and stick right inside the stamp case's plastic cover. That way when you have time to sit down and play, you won't waste any time looking for ideas!

Here's the NEWEST printable, Calming Camellias!

Photo Tutorial: Flip Top Fancy Fold

Oh, you're going to LOVE this one! I really like how this card takes just one sheet of 8.5 x 11 and turns it into something really fancy, SO FAST! Here's the card closed, and the next photos show it opening....

So it opens vertically and then horizontally, isn't that fun? What a lot of lovely space to show off your pretty papers and coordinating stamps.

And the BEST part is, it fits in a regular A-2 medium envelope! Though depending on how many layers of paper you add and whether or not you use dimensionals, it may require extra postage or hand-delivery.

I made a quick video for you to get the gist of the two scores and three cuts you'll be making to get the card base, plus the measurements for all the pieces of patterned paper. I'll put the supply list below so you can order and recreate this look exactly, if you'd like!

 

That wasn't hard at all, was it? I love that the way the 8.5 x 11 paper is cut leaves a huge piece for use on another card, too. I like a fancy fold even more when it isn't wasteful!

several sweet Sympathy Card ideas

I recently hosted a Sympathy Card class at the Studio--not always our favorite cards to make, but so important to have on hand, right? Afterwards I hosted a tiny private class for persons who needed to be extra careful due to Covid. I am HAPPY to offer multiple sessions at the Studio for you and your friends! If you see a class I'm offering and can't attend for ANY health reason, please let me know and I can arrange for just you and me another time if needed. I understand and I'm happy to help.

We made four designs, all totally different, and I wanted to share a couple of them with you today!

Above: Elegantly Said punch bundle with Brushed Metallic Adhesive Dots and Linen Thread.

Below: Grassy Grove stamp set with Early Espresso and Mango Melody inks and the new Blending Brushes.

Below: Nature's Harvest bundle and papers; Stitched Nested Label dies. Sentiment from Timeless Tulips stamp set.

I hope my designs give you a jumping off place for your next sympathy- cardmaking session! or change the sentiment out and enjoy an elegant look with a cheery message instead.

Thanks for making Song of My Heart a stop on your inspiration tour today!

Now... get off the computer or phone and go get in the craft room! : )

What I made with my January 2022 Suite Sampler Box!

I made 6 scrapbook pages and 12 cards from my Suite Sampler this month! This month's box is based on the cute and playful Sweet Talk collection in the brand new Spring 2022 mini catalog from Stampin' Up.

I love this paper pack because it works for far more than just Valentines. The pastel colors worked into some of the prints, and the patterns on many of the papers will work year-round. Purple fans are going to love this pack for all the Highland Heather in it!

For access to the full Suite Sampler gallery plus samples uploaded by subscribers each month, click here (it's a free private Facebook group!) Click on Albums, and you'll see two new albums each month. One for scrapbooking fans, and one for cardmakers!

What is a Suite Sampler subscription box? Well, basically, I do a little shopping for you! I put together a generous, color-coordinated sampling of products including papers, cardstock, trims and embellishments based around one of Stampin' Up's suites, and mail it to you Priority Mail by the 15th of each month. I work hard on these boxes-- I want you to say WOW--every month!

Each month I use the box contents to create about 15 projects, both cards and pages, to show what you can do with yours! There are no stamps or ink included, so you can either work with what you already own, or decide if you want to purchase the coordinating stamp set and/or dies to go with it all. The flexibility stays in YOUR hands!

The Suite Sampler is NOT A KIT-- your box will be FULL of fun parts and pieces that match with the style and colors of the patterned papers, plus FULL sheets of 12x12 and 8.5 x 11 to coordinate. You can use my inspiration samples as a guide, or set out on your own and see where the mojo takes you!

My Suite Samplers save you TONS of money--because you won't have to purchase full packs of anything in order to try it all! You'll get to enjoy trying out all sorts of suites without a massive investment--and you'll LOVE the shot of mojo every month that a brand new box of irresistibly pretty papers and colors will give you.

Grassy Grove stamp set or bundle

Brave Viking stamp set

In the Moment stamp set   and the Heart & Home papers

Oceanfront stamp set and new Pebbles enamel embellishments

I could go on... but I'd basically have to share the whole 90-page catalog stamp by stamp to show you everything I love about this new selection! These cards are just the tip of the iceberg. We're going to have SO much fun stamping and scrapping together this spring.

Or, join Stampin' Up on my team of demonstrators and begin getting the discount immediately! No obligation to ever host or hold parties unless YOU decide to give it a go. It could quite possibly be the best $99 you've EVER spent! http://bit.ly/joinSUnow

January 2022 Class of the Month Club: Cactus Cuties

I'm in love with both the possibilities and the price of this adorable new stamp set from the Stampin' Up Spring 2022 mini catalog! Cactus Cuties was on my first order and I made all the projects for this class in one marathon stamp session. It was very easy to pull together trendy and cute cards that will make my friends and family smile when they open their mailboxes!

The BEST thing about this set, however, is the matching punch!!! The bundle price is only $31.50, which leaves you just $3.50 short of the minimum $35 to play for club this month! (I'm SURE you can think of SOMETHING you need for the rest of the $35--hee hee!)

GREAT NEWS!!!**** Sale-a-Bration 2022 has begun and you can use the club code AND still pick out freebies if your order hits $50 before shipping and tax! Love that! Sale-A-Bration runs January through February, so plan your club orders accordingly : )

Here's how my online club works: every month I prepare a class from scratch, with four projects and at least two bonus layouts plus a fancy fold. I format it all in a full-color, 7-8 page document you can print out or save on your device to reference while you're working.

The class files include not only measurements and step by step instructions, but also complete supply lists, bonus tips about caring for your stamps, stamping basics for beginners, and even mailing tricks from the pros. It really is like taking a class with me!

To participate, all you have to do is: shop with the code for the month (this month's code is US2QASXF) at http://bit.ly/shopwithLyssa. Your order needs to be $35 or more before shipping and tax. The class files are emailed to you automatically when you use the code.

You don't have to purchase the featured stamp set--it can be any $35 worth of Stampin' Up that you need to order. But you need Cactus Cuties on your shelf!

After you've shopped, you can look forward to some happy mail from me, including a handmade thank you card filled samples. Give the generously-sized bits and pieces a try and see if any of those new products will be added to your wish list!

I'll keep track of your participation points, and when you've played along five times, you get a free $30 shopping spree. Or, you can keep saving up points and get a $60 shopping spree when you've collected ten.

And did I mention that YOU decide when you want to play? The points don't have to be collected consecutively. Our class-club is uniquely designed to fit YOUR needs and crafting budget.

Sound like fun? It IS! I hope to see your name pop up with this month's code US2QASXF so I can send you your goodies and start spoiling you rotten as a VIP Class of the Month member. Let's play!

Free tutorial: easy double flip fold card!

I love this fold for showing off your gorgeous papers! The double flip fold has lots of acreage to cover with your prettiest patterns. You will love choosing which ones to put on each of the fun flaps you'll be flipping!

So here's the card when you open the first flap.... and below is after you've flipped the last flap! Plenty of space to write, plus plenty of space to show off your coordinating stamps and papers. If you don't need all that writing space, you can fill the final flap with pattern as well.

So let's learn how to make it, shall we? This little beauty is going to take some time, plus more cardstock than the average card, but the end result is worth it.

Here are the measurements I promised in the video:

Base (left): 8.25 x 4.25 inches, scored at 5.5 inches (white)

Base (right): 10x 3.5 inches, scored at 5 inches (white)

Focal point piece: 4.25 x 2.75 inches white, 2.5 x 4 inches solid color

Patterned papers: 4 x 5.25 inches; 4 x 2.5 inches; 3.25 x 4.75 inches

Here's the supply list--gather what you need and create your own! I used some hostess-only papers for my project; however, I can get you a pack of those pretties even if you don't have time to have a party of your own--just let me know you need them and we'll figure out shipping.

Santa's elves spent the day partying at the Studio!

Santa's helpers (AKA my fabulous team of Stampin' Up Demonstrators) spent the day playing reindeer games, making gingerbread houses and stamping with new stamps at the Studio last weekend! We were so glad to get together again and missed everyone who couldn't make it due to distance or illness.

This year I chose the theme of pastels based on the adorable Penguin Playmates patterned papers from Stampin' Up. These cute papers are retired now, but I happen to know there are a few packs left on the Studio's clearance rack, if you get there first! Email me if you need them mailed to you. Lyssa@songofmyheartstampers.com

I had so much fun playing with the polar animals and decorating with pink and blue. My one wall is still covered up from renovations that aren't done yet, so I have to keep working with the light blue. Although it kind of gave the studio a sparkly gender-reveal kind of atmosphere, I have to say!

Made me realize I can't wait to see whose lucky little one gets the Studio's first private baby shower event! If that's part of YOUR happy new year, let's get you booked and a theme chosen!

I went wayyyy overboard on the favors ... they took forever!... what can I say? I was born to party plan! And it's all in the details.

The best party of the party is not the decor, the presents or the treats... but the people! Thanks for coming to my party but thank you even more for being my friend.

If you'd like to join a well-established Stampin' Up team with a lot of "family" going on, I invite you to be a part of mine! The Song of My Heart Demonstrator team will welcome you with open arms. I'm looking forward to spoiling YOU at our next holiday party, my friend! http://bit.ly/joinSUnow
