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. 

Paper Blooms swap 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.

  • Two background techniques on this pretty Kindest Expressions card

    I made this card for our June Team swap; our theme was to create our own background.  I went a bit overboard but had a ton of fun making these!

    Kindest expressions swap. Save
    It features these products from our Annual Stampin' Up! catalog:

    1. Kindest Expressions stamp set
    2. Paper Florist dies
    3. Countryside Corners dies
    4. Blending Brushes
    5. Artistic Mix Decorative Masks
    6. Embossing paste Matte finish
    7. Adhesive-Backed sequins trio

    Whew!  And I didn't even list the ink and paper!  My colors include Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Basic White.

    • I used Berry Burst ink and a Blending Brush to create an ombre background on my Bubble Bath card stock. I let that dry overnight. 
    • I then used a mask over this to spread White Embossing Paste with a Palette knife.  Even though my ink was dry it picked up the color and created an ombre look on the paste too.  I let that dry for a few hours.
    • Add the greeting and the Paper Florist dies seen here.  I can tell that I'll be using these dies a lot.  They're wonderful and make a huge variety of flowers.

    I LOVE how they turned out.
