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!

  • Textures & Frames; who knew you could create such fun & variety?!


    At first this stamp set baffled me; what would I do with it?  Well leave it up to the creativity of others to spark my own!  I got some ideas online and all of a sudden I couldn't stop! 

    I shared all of these cards and tips on making them on this week's Tuesday FB Live.  Look!

    The card above is my favorite.  It truly makes me smile!  That sentiment is from the In Your Words stamp set in the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It's free with a $300 order through Sept 30th.  See it here. 

    You may wonder how I achieved that perfectly shaped smile on these faces.  I searched all of my stamp sets for a circle shape and found one in the cat in the Cute Halloween set.  Watch the video here or seen below to see how I did it.  The eyes are clear rhinestones colored Black with my Blends marker.  The colors are Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia and Pacific Point. 

    In the video I also share a neat tip on getting a smaller Postage shape from our Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.  

    If you love quirky and unique get this while you can.  This fun Textures & Frames stamp set is free with a $50 through the end of September. *stock up on your favorites and earn it free! 

    ~~~

    This next card uses the same solid circle image to create a colorful background for the nice, large greeting in the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set.  I also used the Basic Border dies to create the eye catching rick-rack border trim. 

    These colors include Fresh Freesia, Bermuda Bay & Granny Apple Green. 

    ~~~

    Next I added some vellum dragonflies to a colorful column on this White card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and the Dragonflies punch.  

    The greeting is also from the wonderful In Your Words stamp set; I fussy cute it and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals. 

    ~~~

    I love this one too!  It's cased from my Team Member Tracey.  I had to make one in these colors.  

    The die-cut swirl is from the Painted Labels dies and again the greeting is from the In Your Words stamp set. 

    ~~~

    I was inspired by the card on the lower right (seen by other Demo's) to create one with TALL candles!  I used my Stamparatus for both of these cards!  Watch how in the video below or click here. 

    These colors include Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point & Crushed Curry. The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. 

    Which is your favorite??

    ~~~

    And lastly is a simple card using the open circle image and a few stars die-cut with the Stitched Stars dies and our Rainbow Glimmer paper.  

    The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set.  I love how easy you can create a masculine card with this unique stamp set!  

    Don't miss out if you want this set! It's unavailable after Sept 30th! You'll also get 10 free hand-made cards from me with a $50 order!  Details are below.

  • CUTE Halloween cards


    Our monthly Team swap was last Saturday and our theme was Halloween or Fall cards.  Here are two of them I'm happy to share with you.

    This first card was made by Lori.  She is featuring the Cute Halloween designer paper and the Picture This dies. 

    The pumpkin, ghost & cat are punched with the Halloween punch directly from the Cute Halloween designer paper seen here.  This punch is on back order until October 11th.  But you CAN still order it. 

    I really like how she added different patterns & textures behind each window from the Picture This die cut seen here.  And that peak of the black & white dsp behind it all really sets off the fun colors. 

    Next is a cute card made by Candy using the Clever Cats stamp set.  See it here. 

    That cat peeking from behind the pumpkin is adorable. Her colors are Rich Razzleberry, Black, Mossy Meadow, Pumpkin Pie & White. Other products she used here are:

    • Double Oval punch
    • Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here
    • Parisian Flourish 3D folder

    I can see this stamp set be used all year.  These cats are hilarious and so true to life!
