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!

    Stampin' Up! is releasing one of the upcoming Annual Catalog bundles early!  Plus they added on two exclusive papers along with it!  But these papers are only available through May 3rd, while supplies last! Click here to see them online. 

    I joined an online swap and created these pretty cards:

    Which card do you prefer?  Mint Macaron or Calypso Coral?  I sure like the soft papers in this Designer Paper!

    Here's the flyer so you can see the details for each of these new products.  It's important to note that the two papers shown are only available from now through May 3rd while supplies last.  You can order tomorrow, March 2nd. 

    Look at the photo below; see how this sheet of paper coordinates with the large multiple butterfly die? It might be hard to tell but the die is laying on the paper.  So cool!  

    I used three of these butterflies on my cards; the green, blue and yellow!  Such happy spring-like colors!

    Measurements are:

    • Card Base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Designer Paper 2" X 5 1/2"

  • Stunning Sand & Sea cards great tips in the video


    We made this gorgeous card at my February card clubs.  Everyone was amazed at how beautiful this die-cut is once it's stamped and textured with the Seashells embossing folder. 

    You can see this Friends are Like Seashells bundle here online.  If you like seashells I believe this is the best set we've ever had.  The nice thing is that if you purchase it by February 28th you earn a free Sale-a-Bration item! 

    SAB ends on Sunday so if you have some things you want be sure to order by then to earn free stuff! 



    We sponged the Vanilla CS in the background with three colors of ink and our new Blending Brushes.  You can get tips on that in the video below.  Blushing Bride, Pool Party & Sahara Sand are the inks we used.  

    The greeting stamps are from the Many Messages stamp set & dies bundle.  It's another great set you might want to order now to earn a free Sale-a-Bration choice.  See it here.

  • Unique ideas with the Oh So Ombre designer paper; Promo ends Sunday!


    Here are a few more ideas with the gorgeous Oh So Ombre designer paper.  It has been my favorite Sale-a-Bration item this year!  

    Playing with strips has always been fun for me.  On this first card I started with one sheet of DSP and cut it first at 4 1/2" long.  Then I cut strips off of the main piece at random angles.

    Next I laid these strips on my grid paper and stamped the leaves from Forever Fern stamp set on them using Granny Apple Green ink.  

    I then glued these strips to a 3 3/4" X 5" piece of White CS leaving a thin 1/16" gap between.  I didn't worry about the edges at all.  After I was done I trimmed them off even with the main White CS.  

    Next is a fun card playing with the Playful Alphabet and 1/2" strips of this pretty Ombre paper.  I adhered the letters to the end of the paper strip with rolled up mini glue dots and trimmed any excess off that showed around the letter. 

    The 'birthday' greeting is from Vine Design and the bottom edge is punched with the Postage Punch.  

    Below are more cards I shared in a video you can see here.
