Changing To New Stamp Organizers ...

For a variety of reasons, I have decided to transfer my current stamp set to the new Stamp & Die Organizers #167772.  My reasoning is space with hubby "considering" retirement in a year or two.  He has been saying retirement in 2 years for a few years so unsure when a year or two actually is :) 

While the new stamp sets & dies moving forward with new products will arrive to you in the new Organizers, I did a little "thing" for changing from the current "DVD" style to the new "envelope" style organizer.

I wanted to have a description insert with stamp/die images so I "copied" the current insert from the "DVD" style onto 8-½" x 11" paper.  While not a "perfect" insert and not exact to the new inserts this does the trick for me.

#1 - After I copied, I placed the copy on my Trimmer with the 11" side against the top. Since this is regular copy/printer paper I very carefully ran the score piece over the paper about 4 times.

#2 - I then found the score line and proceeded to make the fold in half.

#3 - Next I placed the folder copy onto the Trimmer & looking from left to right, with the raw edge at about the 1st "tick" mark on the "inches" line.  You can see in the photo #3 where I have it aligned.  It is just over the valley on the Trimmer - on the right side of the valley.

#4 - You may want to trim this small amount off of that raw edge for an easier fit into the new "Organizer".  I found trimming just shy of ¼" made the fit nice and easy to slide into the "Organizer".

#5 - I have placed my insert into the new Stamp Organizer with the stamp set between the folded piece.

The new stamp sets & dies will have an insert that is folded at the top but this works for me. I could have used the current inserts from the "DVD" style cases but I wanted full coverage inside the new storage.

The new "Stamp & Die Organizers" will be available November 4th.  They will come 10 to a pack for $16.00 USD.  If you prefer the current "DVD" style they will also be offered online for purchase.

Please let me know if you have any questions :)

Let's Use Current & Retired Products ...

With so many choices we always have Retired Products on hand so let's use some along with some current products to create a fun fold card.

The Retired products I used are Regal Flora Cling Stamp Set #164152, Regal Winter 12"x12" DSP #164155 & Stampin' Write Markers with the following colors, Bubble Bath, Pretty in Pink, Highland Heather & Gorgeous Grape.

The Stampin' Write Markers are available as of the date of this post in the Last Chance category.  I love these markers are there is a "brush" tip and a "nib" tip.  I use the "nib" tip for journaling and addressing envelopes.  The "brush" tip is perfect for placing color on the Cling (red rubber) stamps.  I will post a clickable link for the Stampin' Write markers at the end of this post.  I have been using them for a couple years and have not had any go dry.  They are the same ink formula as the Classic Stampin' Pad and a perfect match to those.

Current products used as listed below with clickable links.

Let's make this card and here are the measurements & directions.

* Cardbase: 5-½" x 11" ~ Score @ 2", 3-¾", 7-¼" & 9"

* Greeting tab: cut for your specific greeting (3 pieces - ¼" border)

   (ie: mine are 1-¼" x 3-⅛", 1-¾" x 3-⅝" & 2-¼" x 4-⅛")

* DSP: 2 @ 1-¾" x 5-¼" & 2 @ 1-½" x 5-¼" 

* Inside: 3-¼" x 5-¼"

After folding the score lines, attach pieces as follows.

* Adhere the 2 larger DSP "mats" to the far left & far right panels as shown

* Adhere the 2 smaller DSP "mats" to the inside panels as shown

* Adhere the 3-¼" x 5-¼" to the inside, center of the card for sentiment

*The sentiment piece should be adhered to the left most panels only

I used the Stampin' Write markers mentioned in the beginning of this post on my cling (red rubber) stamp for the image placed on the inside.

Brushed Brass Butterflies are placed on the front panels & sentiment.
