FREE Digital Tutorials of ALL our Sunny Stampin’ Store Project Kits?
Posted: Monday, October 24th, 2011 | CommentsThere’s a ton of reasons our Paper Crafter’s Library members rave about their memberships. Here’s what a few of them have to say:
Thank you for this opportunity to use the Club 52 as being a member of the Papercrafters Library. This is the best tutorial site I have ever seen. Your clear pronunciation of each word and production of the whole videos is received very thankfully. Ilove being part of the Paper Crafter’s Library ~ Kay~
What a FABULOUS site! I love it! You and your sister are so talented! Thanks for sharing and all your hard work and time you put into it! . ~Linda~
Thank you for your fabulous site! I love it, and it’s my “go to” site of all time!! ~Gloria~
Not only do we have TONS of videos (almost 700!), not only do we add new videos 4-5 days a week, not only do members get to enjoy our current and future online classes for free (i.e. Club 52 – our year long technique club), but now……
As a Paper Crafter’s Library member you will ALSO have access to the digital tutorial version of ALL of the project kits we currently have in the Sunny Stampin’ Store! Yep, you heard that right.
And today, we’ve posted the first one – Blitzen Holiday Planner in a DVD Tin tutorial!
Here’s a picture of the front of the DVD tin:
The picture below shows you what the inside of the tin looks like. On the inside cover there are three decorated envelopes which you can use to store your receipts, as well as a little pencil. On the right side of the tin, an accordion insert pulls out with 5 pockets in all – three on the front (which you see below) and two at the back which you see in the third picture. The tin is decorated with products from the Bo Bunny Blitzen Collection,
The pockets are perfectly sized to hold our holiday planner inserts. The inserts themselves are sold in a bundle of 5 for $5 and include the following:
- a 15 month calendar from Oct. 2011 until December 2012 – allowing you to plan this year’s AND next year’s holiday
- A Gift buying list, where you can put the person’s name, your gift idea, the budgeted $ amount and a check-mark box
- A Stocking Stuffer list – where you can write the person’s name and the stocking stuffer ideas you have
- a Christmas Card list – where you can put the person’s name, address and a little “sent” check-mark box
- a Menu planner – where you can write down your menu ideas for any holiday gatherings
So there you have it, one more reason to become a member!
New Desktop Calendar Easel Tutorial & Easter Blossoms Class Now Available and a Blog Give-Away
Posted: Tuesday, January 25th, 2011 | CommentsWell, I’m officially the “last man standing” in my family. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we’ve had flu running through our house – it’s now hit each of the kids one after the other, and today, my husband. Thankfully I feel fine, and I’m praying it stays that way as Thursday morning I’m heading off to CHA! I am beyond excited about this. For the last number of years as I’ve perused the blogs of people that have gone, I’ve wished I could go too. This year, my wish has come true! I’ll be gone from Thursday until Tuesday.
Today I wanted to share with you a couple of new tutorials I have available. I’ll be giving away BOTH to 5 lucky winners. Here are the details:
Desktop Calendar Easel Box
Yep! We came up with our own version of the Desktop Calendar Easel Box. Although similar in design to others you may have seen, ours is by far the largest! Based on our own template design, this box is 5 7/8″ x 6″. The calendar templates are also our own design & their finished size is 4 7/8″ x 5 1/8″.
For $12.95 CAN you can purchase a digital tutorial kit which includes:
- a pdf handout with a picture, supply list, dimensions, template and step-by-step written directions
- 2011 Calendar templates
- access to a private video web page from which you can view the video on how this project was made and decorated.
To purchase this tutorial please click HERE. If you are a member of Paper Crafter’s Library then this tutorial is FREE to you and can be found in the Video Library under 3D items. Not a Paper Crafter’s Library member? Until January 31st you can take advantage of our Charter Member price of only $14.95 a month. After Jan. 31st, the price will be going up to $19.95 a month. You are not locked into any term and can cancel at any time. So really, for only $2 more than the cost of this tutorial, you can get a membership to a site filled with project, technique and tool videos!

Easter Blossoms Stamp Class By Email and Class Planner
The beautiful spring blossoms on the Springtime Vintage DP are an amazing backdrop for these four lovely cards! Add in the color blocking technique and you have a match made in heaven! The co-ordinating two-pocket portfolio will bring the whole set together in a stunning spring-time gift set!
As I do each month, I am offering two versions – a Stamp Class by Email version which is a step-by-step photo tutorial with over 70 full color photos, full supply list, a cutting guide and template for the box. The Class Planner version for Stampin’ Up! demonstrators includes the Stamp Class by Email tutorial (called the Class to Go Handout) as well as all the additional materials you need to offer it as a class to your own customers. Don’t have the time or space to offer traditional classes? Why not offer it as a kit to go? OR, did you know that you can use the Class to Go Handout as a purchasing incentive to your customers? When they place a $50 or more order of Stampin’ Up! product from YOU, you can give them this fabulous tutorial for free? But wait….there’s more….
Did you also know that this month I’m continuing on with the new video feature? As part of either the Stamp Class by Email AND the Class Planner you receive access to a private web page with a video showing you how to make the box from start to finish. When you order the Class Planner version, you also receive the video embed code so that you can embed the video on your own blog and offer it as a bonus to your customers which took the class or received the tutorial as a gift with purchase?
There are so many different ways that demonstrators use my planners, yet regardless of which way they choose to use it, the one thing I hear over and over again is what a benefit they have been to their business. Are you interested in adding more to your business? You can purchase the class planner HERE.
If you are not a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator, but you’d like to learn how to make these projects then you can purchase the Stamp Class by Email version HERE. *Please note, class planners and Stamp Classes by Email are totally separate from Paper Crafter’s Library*

Do you need help organizing YOUR life?
Posted: Saturday, December 11th, 2010 | CommentsHave you ever forgotten to purchase a gift for a special event or occasion? Or maybe you’ve just come back from a long day or weekend of shopping only to discover you forgot to buy one gift? Then of course there’s all those little bits and pieces of paper onto which you wrote some gift ideas for those upcoming birthdays, and now that you’re out shopping and NEED them, you can’t find them?
Do any of these scenarios sound familiar? These types of things happen to me on a regular basis. My life is so crazy busy, and it just seems to get busier and crazier all the time. It seems I’m always forgetting something, or wasting time on something. Sometimes it’s forgetting to buy a baby gift or a birthday gift for a party my child is attending, misplacing my receipts, forgetting what sized shoes my kids wear (after all, I do have to keep track of 5 shoe sizes), wasting time searching for a phone number I call on a monthly basis……it’s never ending.
That’s why I’ve decided, out of desperation really, that I need to ORGANIZE the various aspects of my life! At first I tried coming up with a single system to organize EVERYTHING. The only problem is that the more I thought about what I wanted, the bigger and bulkier and more overwhelming it seemed to get.
As I started thinking about what my “problem areas” were and how to address them, I started to realize that there were actually several organizational tools that I would find very helpful.
And that got me thinking in a whole new direction…..I bet I’m not the only one who needs help in this area!
That’s where the idea for a new series of organizational products was born……. Organize YOUR Way. As I design organizational tools to help me, I’m going to make these tools available to YOU.
So this month, I’m excited and proud to introduce to you the first Organize YOUR Way tutorial…. “My Gift Guide”.
The purpose of “My Gift Guide” is as the name implies….one place to organize all the gifts or items that you may need to buy on a monthly basis for special events and/or occasions (i.e. baby, wedding, birthday, Christmas, house-warming, teacher gifts, etc.).
This nifty organizer has a page for each month, a line for each day of the month, a handy notes page and a pocket to store receipts in for EACH month. There is a space for you to write the person’s name, the gift idea, a budget and the cost. You can tuck any gift receipts into the handy pockets.
Because there is no year associated with this organizer, you can use it year after year. If you have people that you consistently buy for year after year, you write their name in pen (as you can see it comes with a pen attached to it) and then their gift in pencil. So you can erase it when the event is over and then write in gift ideas for the next year. If the event is a one of, then simply write everything in pencil and you can easily erase it. How easy is that?
Now maybe you have everything together and you don’t need anything like this. If that’s the case, it also makes a perfect gift. In fact I’m planning on giving some to friends and family this year.
When you purchase the digital kit you receive:
- a pdf handout with a full supply list, cutting guide and over 60 full color step-by-step photos with directions
- the calendar and note templates
- THREE video tutorials showing you all aspects of making this album from start to finish
- No supplies included
And all for only $24.95. One low price, but a project you can make over and over again, and give away as gifts year after year! To purchase your tutorial click HERE.
Just a quick note – this project was created using some of the new designer fabric and buttons from Stampin’ Up!’s upcoming Occasions Mini Catalogue – you can use ANY fabric or buttons to create this organizer. Also, this is a NO SEW project (other than the button) so you don’t need to have any sewing skills.
Blog Give-Away
I’m also giving away the free tutorial and video access to 3 lucky winners. All you have to do to enter the give-away is to leave a comment in the comments section of this post. Winners will be announced on Thursday Dec. 16th, 2010.
Gift Card Holder Ornaments, a Give-Away & the winners of the Swing Fold Album Tutorial
Posted: Monday, November 15th, 2010 | Comments
Today I wanted to share with you all a fun and economical new series of tutorials that my sister and I are offering called Projects à la Carte – these are single project tutorials that will be priced between $3.95 and $8.95 Canadian (international orders welcome). Each tutorial will include a written pdf handout (similar to our 12 Weeks of Christmas Handouts) and access to a private web page with a video you can view on how to make the project. No supplies are included.
The first of the tutorials are these ultra-cute gift card holder ornaments. I got the idea of the Christmas Ball one from a Paper Crafts Holiday magazine, and then the other two just kind of evolved from there. Although it’s hard to tell from the picture, these ornaments are pretty big – the Christmas Ball is almost 4 1/2″ wide. Below you can see how you tuck the gift card into each one.
They each have an opening on the side so that the gift card slides into the middle of the ornament. When the gift cards are pushed all the way in, you can see them through the vellum on both the Christmas Ball and the Wreath. On all of them, the card hangs out just a little from the side so that the recipient can easily grasp the card and pull it out.
When you look at the ornaments in my hand, you can get a general idea of the size. For the Santa one, the tutorial includes a printable template for the mustache and the hat rim.
Each tutorial is $4.95, or you can purchase the bundle of three for $12.95. If you’re interested please click HERE. You’ll find the bundle offer at the bottom of each individual tutorial listing.
As I do with each new tutorial release, I’ll be giving away 2 free tutorials. To enter, simply leave a comment in the comments section of this post.
I’ve gotta run for dinner, but I’ll be back a bit later to announce the winner of the swing fold album tutorial.
ETA (7:30 pm EST) - I’m back with the winners of the Swing Fold Album tutorial. If you are one of the winners please email me at andrea@sunnystampin.com and be sure to put in the subject line – “Swing Fold Tutorial Winner”. If you already purchased the tutorial, then you can substitute for any digital tutorial up to $22.95 value in my store www.sunnystampinstore.com.

All *NEW* Memories Your Way: Swing Fold Mini Scrapbook Album & Giveaway
Posted: Friday, November 5th, 2010 | Comments
Share both your holiday memories and your holiday wishes with friends and loved ones with this one-of a kind swing-fold mini album. This 6” x 6” album holds 6 photos making it the perfect little gift or treasured keepsake this holiday season!
Some of you may remember the Christmas Jingle Tri-Shutter album I designed last year. Since that album was released I’ve had many requests for more fun, unique and original albums. That’s why today, I’m so excited to be able to introduce you to my newest Memories Your Way Mini Scrapbook Album – the Swing Fold Holiday album!
I have to say I absolutely love how this year’s album turned out. It incorporates the swing-fold card concept, but takes it even further. Below you can see what the album looks like with the cover open (BTW the pictures I used are my friend’s):
Here’s what the album looks like completely open:
Of course, I kept my decorations simple so that the beauty of the pictures shines through, but you can make it as elaborate as you like – which is why I call these albums Memories Your Way!
I’ve put together a digital tutorial (i.e. no supplies included) for $22.95 CAN (international orders welcome) which includes a step-by-step photo tutorial including a full supply list for all THREE versions of the album and a cutting guide. Because the album is a bit more challenging to make, as part of the digital kit you will have access to a private web page with two videos – one on constructing the album, and the second one with tips on embellishing the album. You can purchase the tutorial by clicking HERE.
Please note: If you are a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator you are welcome to offer this as a traditional attended class to your customers or you can offer it as a class kit by mail – however you cannot re-sell the tutorial on it’s own. Once you have purchased the tutorial if you email me I will send you a FREE demonstrator guide.
Fine Print: This is an original copyrighted album design. A LOT of time and effort went into the creation of this template and design – therefore I ask that you please RESPECT the copyright and not attempt to COPY this design without purchasing the tutorial and then freely share the instructions on the web.
Blog Giveaway!
I am giving away 2 swing fold album tutorials! To enter the draw, please leave me a comment in the comments section of this post. Winners will be announced Friday, November 12, 2010 in my Friday blog post.
