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!

Favored Flowers SAB fun fold card with video

December 27, 2022
I hope you've had a wonderful Christmas weekend. We sure did. It was crazy busy trying to fit all of our annual activities into three days. But we did it! I sure love having my kids home for the holidays; we all look forward to it!

We have a few traditions; one is an appetizer show down. Each one of us makes an appetizer for Christmas eve and we vote on them. We vote on taste AND presentation. This year my granddaughter won with her Pizza Monkey Bread with marinara dipping sauce. I came in second with Spanakopita.

The other fun thing we do is play Minute to Win It games. We had a golf putting game, build the tallest snowman with marshmallows, Corn Hole, name the items in the stocking, moving mini marshmallows from one bow to another with a straw, filling a bowl with bows using a spatula blindfolded. It's always a blast. Funny story…. I always buy random presents for winners but totally forgot this year. And I won! Sheesh!

I shared this pretty card on last week's Facebook Live. I'm not sure what this fold is called though!

The center panel lifts up. It's 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". The center DSP is 3" X 4" and so is the inside white panel.

The flowers on the front White oval are fussy cut from the designer paper. This beautiful paper is free with a $50 order starting January 5th during Sale-a-Bration.

I used Blackberry Bliss card stock since it matches the designer paper so well.
- Card base 5 ½” X 4 1/4", 3 ¼” X 8 ½” scored at 4 1/4"
- White inside & DSP 3" X 4", DSP side pieces are 1" X 4" and 1 1/4" X 4"

The greeting is from another Beautifully Happy stamp set; also a free choice during Sale-a-Bration. It's a big 17 piece Photopolymer set that's free with a $100 order from January 5th – February 28th.

Here's the video showing how to make this card and another snowflake version too:

Santa Suit candy bar pull-up treat with measurements

December 23, 2022
I shared this cute candy bar treat on my Tuesday FB Live video this week. Need a last minute treat or stocking stuffer??

When you pull the ribbon it brings the candy bar out of the 'suit'. So fun! And quite easy to make too. It fits a standard full size Hershey candy bar but would likely work for others too.

Snowflake Vellum fun fold card with video

December 22, 2022
We made this pretty card at my December Card Clubs. I thought snowflakes would be perfect for many occasions coming up.

Save

I used the Snowflake 12" specialty vellum that 'was' in our Holiday catalog. They ran out of stock in early December. And the Wonderful Snowflakes (large white snowflake) was discounted on the Last Chance list but they've run out now too! This time of year is so difficult to plan for.

But they loved the card and thought the fold was fun too.

I shared how to make it on my FB Live yesterday. Click here to watch.

Save
Details:
- The back of the card is simply a quarter sheet of Starry Sky card stock – 5 1/2" X 4 1/4".
- The fold is 3 1/4" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".
- The large piece of vellum and the white inside are 3" X 4". The side pieces of vellum are about 1 1/2" X 4".
- I used the Joyful Flurry stamp set (retiring) & dies for the inside of the left card. The Frosted Flurry dies are now out of stock. The birthday greeting on the right is from the Celebrating You stamp set (annual catalog)
- The Starry Sky stitched circle is 3" around; a die-cut from the Stylish Shapes dies seen here. They are also out of stock right now! Sheesh! I picked popular items for this card, didn't I?
