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.

  • In the Country with a split scene technique

    They've updated the Clearance Rack with more products!  Including stamp sets!  But beware that many are in French.  Be sure you get English if you want it. See it all here.

    I made this pretty card using the In the Country stamp set from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It's called a Triptych layout. It's a great way to showcase a detailed stamp set.

    I stamped the image in Black Memento ink using the Stamparatus and colored the image in with our Watercolor Pencils. 

    One thing I always use with our Watercolor Pencils is the Blender pen.  It smooths out all of your penciled lines so easily. See it here. 

    The card base is Coastal Cabana and I added a Black layer and a simple Black strip across and under it. Simple but it sure shows off the pretty scene.

  • Two-Tone Flora card with more ideas in the video

    Here's a pretty card I shared on a recent Facebook Live.  It features the Two-Tone flora bundle seen here.

    My colors include Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent and Orchid Oasis. I kept this card very simple to show off the beautiful detail in the flowers.  

    The greeting is from the Framed Florets stamp set seen here.

    I used Very Vanilla to stamp on as I haven't used it much lately.  It's a softer feel than White.  Does your Vanilla need some love too?

  • Two-Tone Flora cards; get two cards with one technique!

    I shared a bunch of projects featuring the Two-Tone Flora bundle seen here on last week's FB Live video.  

    I hadn't played with it at all and couldn't stop once I started!  Here are two cards that may look similar at first, but look closely….

    The card on the left has the large, sponged & colored die-cut on the front.  But the card on the right is the colored layer underneath the other.  So cool!  I show how this is done with the small Blending Brushes in the video here.  

    I used three colors for these cards – Daffodil Delight, Mint Macaron and Calypso Coral. It also features Very Vanilla which I don't use often enough. I found the small blending brushed worked really well for the detailed areas on the die-cut. You can see these brushes here. 

    Here are both cards with the actual colored die-cut piece on the front.

    I accented it with the Sentimental Park, Stylish Shapes and Amazing Thanks dies. Also a few Brushed Brass Butterflies finished the garden feel of these cards.

    Below are the cards that show off the area under the sponged die-cut.  The colorful sponging reveals the die-cut detail on the Vanilla but the flowers and leaf areas are colored. I love this 2 for 1 technique!  I'm sure you have some dies you could use like this too.

    The dies above include the Painted Label and Circle Collection dies; along with the Two-Tone Floral dies for the leaf.

    I enjoy using two-step stamp sets for the wonderful details and hues of color you can achieve.
