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!
