Calming Camelia 2 ways with video!

January 7, 2022

Today I'm hosting my Spring Launch & BOGO Bash event! If you're local to me in Minot, ND stop in! It's from 3-6 pm. I guarantee it will be worth coming! I'll have yummy treats & hot cocoa, great BOGO selection, tons of samples and door prizes too!

~~~

On one of my weekly FB Live's I played with the Calming Camelia stamp set from the new 2022 Sale-a-Bration catalog. See it here. I'm so excited it's SAB time!!

I chose a few green/blue tones to stamp the same leaf image – Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green & Just Jade. After stamping on the 1 3/4" X 2 3/4" White pieces I added texture with the new set of embossing folders called Stripes & Splatters 3D in the new Spring catalog. See them here. I did heat emboss the greetings with White embossing powder also.

The pretty embellishments are called Faux Sea Glass Shapes. They are available here in the new 2022 Jan-June Spring catalog.

Which layout do you prefer? Vertical or horizontal?

Corner Bouquet Triple Panel card & a tour of my studio & new catalog launch video

January 7, 2021

Tuesday I held my new 2021 New Catalog Launch party and shared a virtual tour of my studio and Sale-a-Bration & Spring project displays. I did have a little issue with a catch in my throat at the end but most of it's good. Ha!

Below is a fun card showing you a way to use a large stamped image. You can do it two different ways:

Stamp first and then cut into three strips. Or cut into strips, arrange together and stamp all at once. This is what I did using my Stamparatus so I could re-stamp a few times for a nice dark image. I've sure been using my Stamparatus a lot lately. Do you have one? It's so helpful!

Save

After I stamped the main image I let it dry a bit and then ran all three strips through the die-cutting machine to add texture. I used a brand new 3D embossing folder called Painted Texture.

These colors are Purple Posy, Night of Navy & Coastal Cabana. I was inspired to combine these colors by one of our designer paper packs in the Annual Catalog called Playing with Patterns.

The greeting is from the Enjoy the Moment stamp set in the new 2021 Spring Catalog.

True Love Designer Paper; GORGEOUS!

January 6, 2021

The True Love Designer paper is my very favorite designer paper in the 2021 Spring Catalog; it has gorgeous Black & White patterns. I have always found Black & White paper to be the easiest to work with since I can add almost any color I want to set it off. Bright or soft colors all work wonderfully!

I made this card for another online swap a few weeks ago. I just love the easy layout and how it makes the best use of both the Designer paper AND your card stock.

Save

Products used:

Black, White & Magenta Madness CS, True Love DSP, Black ink, Black glittered ribbon, Sweet Ice Cream stamp set , Treasured Tags pick a punch for White CS strip, Matte Black dots

Since Stampin' Up! had to stop offering their Whisper White card stock (manufacturer went out of business) we now have Basic White products. And they're all available again! Yay! Check out this flyer here. Download BASIC-WHITE-ANNOUNCEMENT-FLYER_US

Paper saving tip:

With this layout you can get sixteen 3" square pieces from a 12" sheet of DSP; or 4 pieces from a 6 X 6" piece.

You can get 5 pieces of the main colored layer from a sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock. The cutting template for this is below; I love to use it for my inside layer especially.

Sale-a-Bration starts today!!! Paper Blooms Descending Layers technique

January 5, 2021
From today through February 28th you can earn free product with your Stampin' Up! orders! For every $50 or $00 you spend you can choose a free item. Check it out here.

The new Mini Cut & Emboss machine is now available! And when you purchase it you can choose a free SAB item too!

It's small, light weight and fits on your work surface so nicely! It also fits many of our dies and you can see which ones by the special icon in the catalogs.

This cute machine has a compact footprint for easy storage and travel. The 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) platform works with many of Stampin' Up!'s smaller dies and embossing folders. Includes 1 Mini Base Plate, 2 Mini Cutting Plates, 1 Mini Embossing Plate, and 1 Mini 3D Embossing Plate

Are you enjoying these sneak peaks from the new 2021 Stampin' Up! Spring & Sale-a-Bration catalogs? It's always fun to play with brand new products. Today I'm playing with new 2021 Sale-a-Bration (or SAB) items.

The Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper is full of flowers and fun color combos! I decided to use my Stitched Rectangle dies to create this layered effect. If you want to watch a video on how to do this click here.

Save

I used the third smallest and the third largest die in the Stitched Rectangles set. It looks like I wasted a ton of paper but the entire card is made with one piece of DSP measuring 5 1/4" X 4". It's so cool!

Navy layers are:
- Main card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- Smallest rectangle is 3 3/8" X 2", middle is 4 1/2" X 3 1/8"
You might wonder what I used for the greeting. The White piece is a new die from the Potted Succulent dies seen here. The Rococo Rose layers are punched pieces; 2 of them. I used a 1" X 3 3/4" strip and the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch for the ends. The center piece is the Story Label punch. The pearls on the label are the NEW Pastel Pearls on page 19 of the new Spring Catalog seen here.

Save

Thanks for stopping in today; stay tuned for more projects tomorrow!
