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


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. 

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. 

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

  • Gorgeous Joseph’s Coat technique with free project sheet & video


    Here’s another beautiful card made with the Joseph’s Coat technique. I shared it on last week’s Live video.  It’s so fun!

    My colors include Secret Sea, Timid Tiger and Darling Duckling.  The stamp set is called Artistic Leaves and can be seen here. 

    This technique involved adding color to White card stock and then heat embossing images in Clear powder over the colors.  Next rub a dark ink pad (Memento Black here).  The embossed images resist the black ink – it must be water-based ink!  

    Watch the video below to see how it’s done.  It’s super fun and such a cool effect.  

    I stamped the inside leaf with color by inking it in Timid Tiger ink and adding Secret Sea to the outer edges.  Then I stamped the coordinating stamp in Darling Duckling.  

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card. Just click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Artistic Leaves Joseph’s Coat

  • A colorful Joseph’s Coat technique with Layered Thoughts


    Have you ever done the Joseph’s Coat technique?  It’s one of those techniques that makes you feel like an artist.

    I shared how to do it on last week’s Live video. The card I’m featuring today uses the Layering Thoughts technique with three of our newest In Colors – Strawberry Slush, Darling Duckling and Timid Tiger.  

    These colors – card stock, ink, refills, gems, markers and card stock are all 15% off in August. See these products and so much more here.  It’s a great time to grab these items while discounted. 

    This technique involves a few steps:

    1. sponge colors over your neutral card stock – I used White. 
    2. Tap or rub the embossing buddy over the layer. 
    3. Stamp your images using Versamark ink. 
    4. Heat emboss with Clear embossing powder and your heat tool. Let dry. 
    5. Rub a dark ink (memento black here) over the entire layer.  The embossed areas will resist the water based ink. 
    6. Dab off excess ink with a tissue or paper towel.  Done!  

    Here’s how I finished the inside.  I wanted to use all of the colors I colored on the front so I used my Stampin’ Write markers on the stamp before stamping.

    I’ll be sharing the other cards in the next few days. Stay tuned!
