My card features some products from our new Mini Catalog that will become active September 6 - January 3. There are some beautiful new papers in the Mini Catalog, one of which I used on this card, Shining Brightly Specialty Designer Series Paper. It's the 2" x 4" piece on the left front of this card. My card base is Wild Wheat cardstock 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" scored at 2 1/4".

The highlight of this card is the Handcrafted Elements Dies. I chose to use this floral one, but there is also an ornament one in the set. I'll show you that one at the end of my post. The background circles were cut with our new Deckled Circle Dies out of Night of Navy cardstock and the Distressed Gold Specialty paper. The circle Handcrafted Elements die has 2 pieces. The inside or solid piece of the die was cut with the More Dazzle Specialty Paper Gold and the outline die with Night of Navy.

For the inside, I cut a Very Vanilla piece with a Deckled Circle die and stamped the sentiment and flowers from Circled Sayings with Night of Navy. A few Glossy Dots were added.

More Details about the Monthly Crafty Toolbox

What is a Crafty Toolbox?

It's a collection of Stampin' Up! crafting supplies you'll need to complete your crafting projects! An assortment of current crafting supplies such as embellishments, ribbons, adhesives, spritzers, glue dots, water painter, daubers, Blender Pens, embossing powders, envelopes, etc. will be inside each kit. You  don’t know what you’ll get each month. It will be a happy surprise!

How often will I receive the Toolbox?

Each month you will receive an assortment of products valued at $20 or more. 

Will there be any recurring products?

Yes, there are. What you WILL receive each month is one Blends Combo Pack (a different color each month) and a sheet of dimensionals (total $10 value). I’ll also send you one handmade card.

There is also another option. You can choose to receive an ink spot with the matching reinker instead of a Blends Combo. Yay, choices!!

How long am I obligated?

There is no obligation, BUT, for every 6 months you subscribe, you will receive a special gift valued at around $10. You can stop your subscription at any time. 

How much does it cost?

This happy little toolbox is only $25, which includes $5 for shipping, so you’re getting $25 in supplies for $20! If you live locally and will pick up your Toolbox, then the cost is $20.

How do I pay?

Payment is by PayPal, check, or cash. If paying by check, your Toolbox will be mailed after your check clears.

What is the deadline to sign up each month?

Orders and payments need to be placed by the 15th of each month. Your Toolbox will be mailed around the 25th.

How do I sign up?

Click on the box below to fill out the form to sign up. You will need to pick the option to subscribe for 6 months or month to month. With either option, you will receive an invoice each month to pay for that month's Toolbox.

Card #3 Saran Wrap Stamping Technique Featuring Earthen Textures Stamp Set and Dies


Hello and welcome to my blog! This is Card #3 in a three-card series featuring stamping with Saran Wrap (plastic wrap). You're going to love this technique! You can download a free tutorial and I also have a YouTube video with all the instructions.

My card base is an 11" x 4 1/4" piece of Pecan Pie cardstock folded in half. 


A 5 1/4" x 4" piece of Azure Afternoon was embossed with the Cane Weave Embossing Folder and adhered to the card front, then two 4" x 1/2" strips of Pecan Pie were adhered across the bottom.


Let's learn the plastic wrap stamping technique. Get a small piece of plastic wrap and wad it up. Pounce it on your ink pad. In this case we're starting with Azure Afternoon. Next, stamp it on your cardstock.


I added Daffodil Delight below the Azure Afternoon.


Lastly, came Pecan Pie ink. I love the way this turned out!


Some foliage from the Earthen Textures stamp set were added with Cherry Cobbler ink in the area above where I will be placing my vase.


Here is the finished product! Don't you just love it!



This is the way I stamped my inside.

I hope you have enjoyed my 3-part series on the Saran Wrap or plastic wrap stamping technique and have learned how to do it yourself!
