Welcome to the PDF download (via Google Drive) for my version of the inner part of the Colour Wheel in the 2024-2025 Stampin Up Catalogue. I'm so pleased to say that Stampin Up have given permission for me to share this. Instructions: Download the PDF from Google Drive and save to your computer Print off or copy the page from the catalogue that you will attach the inner circle to. This is page 132 of the catalogue. I would suggest that you download the digital version of the catalogue to print from however a photocopy may be fine to use too. Use Basic White Thick cardstock for this and the inner circle so that they are sturdy. Print the PDF at 120%, as this should fit the page in your catalogue correctly. You may want to play with this scaling a little to suit however this worked just fine for me on my HP printer. Cut out the circle and then use a scapel to cut away the black areas to create windows for you to see through. Use a split pin to join through the centre of both the larger and smaller circle. This is what your printed wheel should look like - you can keep it as an A4 like I have or have it cut into a circle like the one that was gifted to Demonstrators - the choice is all yours! The link is HERE I'm really hoping this actually works and that you will enjoy using this until such time as an official one is available for purchase. Please take the time to go back to my first YouTube video explaining colour theory to fully understand how to use this great tool. If you have any questions or need help with yours, please send me an email using the contact form on my blog. Whilst you are here, please leave some love on my blog and be sure to pop back again soon to see what else I've been up to. Happy Stamping, Rachael xx

Need a guide for card sizes? Me too. Most of the cards I make are A2. But, I have a stash of envelopes that are for various card sizes. So, here's a chart that I created with the measurements for the most commonly used card sizes.

Tutorial: Walletcard Idag ska jag visa hur man gör ett plånbokskort. Designen på kortet är superlätt att variera. Jag har valt att idag visa några idéer på hur man skulle kunna dekorera sitt plånbokskort. Today I will show you how to make a walletcard. The design of the card is supereasy to vary. I have decide that today I will show you some ideas of how to decorate your walletcard. * Här har vi lite utav det material som kan behövas. Givetvis kan man behöva lite fler saker, exempelvis; lim, en cuttlebug (el Epix Six) och lite annat smått och gott att smycka kortet med. Papprena du använder underlättar om de är i storleken: 15 x 30,5cm (skär helt enkelt itu 30,5 x 30,5cm papper till halva storleken) Kolla bredden på embossingplattan. Är den 14cm så blir plånboken längd 14cm. Är embossingplattan endast 13cm så måste även plånboken ha den längden. Cuttlebug har en embossingplatta som ser ut som skinn. Fiskars har också en variant som heter ”Lether” (det är den som jag har använt på mitt kortet) På bilden här ovan kan ni se båda embossingplattorna. Here is some of the material that we need. You may need some other things to. For example; glue, a cuttlebug (or a Epix Six) and other stuff that you can decorate the card with. The papers you use helps if they are in size: 15 x 30.5 cm (Cut the 30.5 x 30.5cm papers to the half size) Check the width of the embossingplate, is it 14cm? Then the wallets length will became 14cm also. Is the embossingplate only 13cm then the wallet also get that length. Cuttlebug have a embossingplate that looks like leather. Fiskars have also a variant called "Lether" (that's the one I've used) In the picture above you can see both embossingplates. Min underbart "fina" skiss på kortets vikning ;P My "beautiful" sketch at the cardfolding ;P Nu bigar du plånbokens stomme. Gör som min skiss visar. Skär bort de resterande 5,5 cm. Now you fold the cardstock. Do as my sketch shows. Cut and remove the remaining 5.5 cm. Här har jag skurit till de resterande papprena som ska smycka plånboken. Det mörkbruna pappret är egentligen mest till för att kortet ska få stadga och att den ska få en snyggare look. Det ljusa pappret ska få agera skinnimitation. Jag har mätt papprena efter plånbokens tre utsidor. Det är en smaksak hur man vill ha framsidans alla sidor, därför sätter jag inga direktiv för vilka storlekar dom ska ha. Remmarna kan däremot vara ca 14cm långa och 2cm breda. Here I have cut the remaining papers to decorate the walletcard with. The dark-brown paper is just for give the wallet a nicer look and also a better stability. The brighter paper is going to act the imitation-leather. I have measured the size of the paperspieces, with the three outsides of the wallet. It is a matter of taste, how you want the front pages, there for I will not put any directives for which sizes there can have. The straps may however be about 14cm long and 2cm wide. Här har jag fixat till kanterna med en superbra ”mätsticka” från Mirabyll. Jag har ritat efter cirkeln längs papprets kant och därefter klippt ut med sax. (Givetvis kan man använda olika hörnstansar istället, det underlättar ju arbetet) :) Till plånbokens ”lock” har jag använt cirkeln på 2,25 cm. Till remmarna har jag använt cirkeln på 1,5 cm. (Plånbokens lock kan man smycka på många andra sätt också. Tex med en kantstans längs hela långsidan eller varför inte stansa hörnen med en fin hörnstans? Eller låt arket vara rakt och limma fast en spets längs med långsidan.) Here, I've fixed the edges with a great template from Mirabyll. I've drawn the circle along the edge of the paper and then cut out with a scissor. (Of course you can use corner punches instead, it facilitates the work of course) :) I have used the circle of 2.25 cm to the wallets "lid". To the straps, I have used the circle of 1.5 cm. (The Wallets lid can decorates in many other ways. For example with an edgepunch or why not punch the corners with a nice cornerpunch? Or glue a beautiful lace along the side.) Dags att embossa ”skinnbitarna”. Glöm inte att embossa de två remmarna också. Embossa endast de papprena som ska agera skinnimitation. (alltså inte de mörkbruna papprena i mitt fall) Time to emboss “the lether pieces". Do not forget to emboss the two straps! Embossing only those paperspieces that will act imitation-leather. (In my case, not the dark-brown paperpieces ) Här har jag använt mig av en stansverktyg från Fiskars. Fyrkanterna ska jag använda som spännen till remmarna. Here I have used a punch from Fiskars . These squares I going to use like buckels for the straps. På baksidan har jag ritat upp stödlinjer för att slutligen skära ut hålen med en skalpell. Även här finns det många idéer om hur spännena kan se ut. On the back, I have drawn up guides to finally cut out the holes with a scalpel. Even here there are many ideas on how the buckels can look like. Här har jag limmat fast bitarna på plånbokens stomme(cardstocken) Som ni ser har jag även sytt med symaskin längs skinnimitationens sidor, vilket får plånboken att se mer äkta och snyggare ut. Here I have glued the pieces at the walletcardbase (cardstock) As you can see, I have also sewn with sewing machine along the letherpieces, It´s looks more real and get´s a nicer design. Gör hål och sätt gärna öljetter i remmarna så blir även dem mer naturtrogna. Make some hole and put eyelets in them. Sätt fast 3D-kuddar på baksidan av spännena. Men se till att inte fästa några 3D-kuddar på ovan och underdelen! (där jag ritat pilar) Put 3D-pillows at the back of the buckles. But do not put any 3D-pillows at the upper and lower parts! (look at my arrows in the picture) Här har jag satt fast spännena på plånbokens lock med hjälp av 3D-kuddarna. Och därefter fäst remmarna i spännena. Nu måste du limma fast remmarna på baksidan av plånboken. Here I have attached the buckles at the wallets lid with help from the 3D-pillows. And then attached the strapes in the buckles. Now you have to glue the straps on the back of the wallet. Här har jag limmat fast remmarna. Men för syns skull så har jag satt dit lite mönstrat papper ovanpå kanterna. Here I have glued the straps. But for show, I have put some piece of patterned paper over the edges. Nu tar du och skär ut två stycken identiska pappersbitar i storleken 10 x 8cm. Jag valde samma färg på pappret som plånbokens stomme. Därefter bigar du papprena längs långsidan 10ggr. Alltså 1cm x 10ggr över hela pappersbiten. Slutligen viker du dem så de ser ut som två dragspel. Now you cut out two identical pieces of paper in size 10 x 8 cm. I chose the same color of the paper that the base(cardstock) of the walletcard. Then you fold the papers along the longside 10 times. (1cm x 10 times) Finally, you fold them so they look like two accordions. Här har vi plånbokskortet, invändigt. Jag har ”fodrat” plånboken med ett fint mönstrat papper. Även dekorerat plånbokens lock invändigt. Här kan man exempelvis göra små fickor för personliga meddelanden. Ungefär som visitkortshållare i en riktig plånbok. Here we have the inside of the walletcard. The lining in the wallet are made of a beautiful patterned paper. The inside of the lid have I decorated. Here you can make small pockets for personal messages. Like creditcards- or visitingcardsholders as it is in real wallets. Slutligen limmade jag båda ytterkanterna på "dragspelsbitarna" för att sedan fästa dem invändigt i plånboken, så det bildas ett myntfack. Finally, I glued the two utter edges of the "accordionpieces" and then attach them inside the wallet, so it forms a coin tray. verb LINE FEED FODDER Färdiga resultatet! Finished result! (Ignorera gärna den vita färgen på mina fula, skrumpna fingrar..) ;) Jag har avslutningsvis fäst locket med kardborre. Det går annars att fästa locket med tex magneter, knappar, snören eller något annat, det är bara fantasin som sätter gränser. (Please ignore the white color at my ugly, shriveled fingers ..) ;) I have finally attached the lid with Velcro. It is possible to fasten the lid with other stuff, for example; magnets, buttons, strings or something else, it is just imagination who sets the limits. * Det skulle vara roligt att få se era plånbokskort ni fått inspiration av att göra efter min tutorial.

I found a great use for scraps....make them into a quilt block to be used on a card or scrapbook page! The template for these cards is on the Scrapedia website. In order to make the quilt block the "main attraction" I kept the rest of the card fairly simple. Some faux stitching with Sharpie markers, and a simple Word Border Stamp (Hero Arts) completes the card. I'll have the horizontal version of these same colors for your tomorrow. My favorite thing about these cards is how 3D the quilt block is.

Create "heart"-felt cards with this easy tutorial by Cheiron Brandon. Start with making bright, flowy Alcohol Ink backgrounds, then die cut backgrounds with heart dies to easily piece together beautiful cards.
Do you want to know how to stamp a perfect mirror image every time? After much searching, I have found a way to stamp a perfect mirror image.
Good Morning!.....It's time for this weeks Just Add Ink challenge and this week we want you to Just Add a "Technique" you haven't tried before. If you are anything like me, there are no doubt heaps that you want to try, but just never got around to doing. Well, this is the perfect opportunity and it can be anything you want! I went with "Teflon Craft Sheet Ink Swiping & Stamping", l have actually tried the ink on Craft sheet bit before, but used it to create a background on card stock. This one is a little different, l used Perfect Plum, Elegant Eggplant and Always Artichoke and swiped a patch of each on my sheet keeping them separate and lightly misted with water...(Very lightly). I then used my Secret Garden stamp set and inked them up from my sheet, really simple and fun! I love the effect of water colour that it gives and can imagine it in many colour combinations. I had heaps of ink left on my sheet after stamping this and grabbed some more card to create an all over DSP look. I will be back shortly to show you how l used my water colour DSP and combined it with some techniques from the recent Pattern Play class l enrolled in at Online Classes. The Design Team have used some very cool techniques to get you motivated, so don't forget to stop by their blogs and check them out too.
