Hey! I finally have access to the 2021-22 annual catalog PDF. This means I can break down all projects into either: carry over and/or retiring products! I will be disseting every project from now until the catalog launches on 5/4.

I will also be plotting my pre-go live order so I can start sharing new stuff early in April. And finally, I can begin work on the publich searchable ...

This video walks through the third project showcasing the five retiring in-colors. I stamp the inside and envelope live. Libby donated her three projects! Thank You Libby! Don't miss the photographs of her in colors projects at the end of the showcase. I hope these six projects inspire you to either buy these lovely colors or if you already have them, create something fun with them!

The sheer volume of content that this kit warranted made me break up the video into two parts.

For Part one, I sped up some prep and stamping to keep it under thirty minutes and for part two I just gave up and let it go long.

The tips, tricks and designs make every minute of part two worthwhile.

Here is the link to part one ->...

I had grand ideas of stamping the inside and envelope in real time, but alas, I was not paying attention to placement and of course my work ended up off the screen, so...the introduction is rather abrupt. This is a great card design, the pin I used for inspiration is here -> pin link

Winter Is Coming Wednesday 2021 - #2 | Tracy Marie Lewis | www.stuffnthingz.com

This video dissects a many layers creation that is thicker than 1/4" USPS first class one ounce non-machinable criteria. I knew when I chose the pin to CASE that I would be going over the thickness, but this is my favorite type of card to make.

I made myself choose green or red, two colors I typically do not use with snowflake theme projects. I thought green would be a better fit. Here...

Stitched Stars Multi-Sentiment Birthday Card | Tracy Marie Lewis | www.stuffnthingz.com

I wanted to use three sentiments lined up close together on one label. I used the Stamparatus to ensure perfect placement and during the walkthrough of the finished card I demonstrate my very low tech method of achieving perfect results. 

I also love this layout for the fourth of July! This card uses the Well Suited DSP, but solid cardstock will also work. Now I have two layouts...
