https://su-media.s3.amazonaws.com/media/Promotions/2021/SAB/2021_SAB_US.pdf

To start off the new catalog right today, I'm sharing a "slim-line" card I created with the new Snailed It stamp set and dies (bundled) from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog:

I paired Snailed It with sentiments from the Sale-a-bration $50 spend stamp set, Approaching Perfection. I cut the layers with Hippo & More Dies, then added a couple of Resin Hearts from the Snailed Mail Suite.

I tied three strands of Blushing Bride twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack into a bow and then adhered with a glue dot.

I used Snail Die to cut this little fellow directly from the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper. I added another Resin Heart to the center of the shell.

Inside I stamped images from Snailed It and colored with Stampin' Blends.

I love this sentiment from Approaching Perfection!

I also created a custom envelope for this slim-line card with Snail Mail Designer Series Paper.

Dimensions:

Sahara Sand base: 9" x 8", scored lengthwise at 4"

Bermuda Bay layer: 8 3/4" x 3 3/4" -need two

Snail Mail Designer: 3 1/2" x 8 1/2"

Whisper White inside: 3 1/2" x 8 1/2"

Stampin’ Up! Sweet Strawberry Sneak Peek!

Posted on January 1, 2021 by Carol Payne

Hey there and Happy New Year! I didn't stay up to ring in the new year because we are finally having our family Christmas today and I've been pacing myself all week getting ready. This COVID crap is just that, it makes you weak and tired, even if you don't have a bad case, which we are thankful it was mild. I'm finally getting an appetite and just finally generally feeling better. Now to just get in some mild exercise so I can get my strength back!

Today I have a fun card to share that I created with the Sweet Strawberry Bundle from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and the Berry Blessings Bundle you can choose for free when you spend $100 all at once beginning on January 5th through February 28th!

I created this card for a swap I signed up for but was unable to mail because I couldn't get out to the P.O. due to our quarantine. I also really didn't like to think that I might be mailing the virus along with my cards!

I love the coordination Stampin' Up! has provided with the Strawberry Builder Punch punching both the images in the Sweet Strawberry stamp set and the berries in the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper that is part of the $100 earn bundle in the 2021 Sale-a-bration brochure!

I stamped the berry top with Garden Green ink on Garden Green card stock, then punched with the Strawberry Builder punch to add to the berry.

I used one of my favorite punches, the Tailored Tag, to punch the greeting from Sweet Strawberry, as well as the Flirty Flamingo mat tag behind it. I added a single Cherry Cobbler Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewel for some bling. You can find them in the Annual Catalog!

The inside sentiment is from the Berry Blessings stamp set, which is paired with the Berry Delightful Designer Series paper in the Sale-a-bration Catalog. All you have to do to get this bundle is spend $100 before tax & shipping!

Stampin’ Up! Garden Wishes Sneak Peek!

Posted on December 31, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! On this last day of 2020 I want to just say that while this year has not be anything like any of us expected, I'm still thankful for life, for my family, and for my Savior. HE is what has brought us through this year and I am praying 2021 is better for everyone!

Today I have a few cards to share that I have created with the new Garden Wishes Bundle from the upcoming January/June Mini Catalog. I also used the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder and the Curvy Dies that are also in the mini.

First, a Bumblebee/Whisper White creation with a Smoky Slate base and the bee stamped on Smoky Slate:

Inside sentiment from Garden Wishes:

I made this one "pop" a bit more by using a Basic Black mat behind the flowers:

My favorite is this one stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink:

When I added Clear Wink of Stella to the blooms it blurred the ink just a bit, which I liked!

The blooms and the Rich Razzleberry mat behind them were all cut with a Dandy Wishes die. I cut the Rich Razzleberry layer in half so I could "stretch" it to fit around the stamped blooms. I adhered to the card with dimensionals.

Another Garden Wishes sentiment:

The Garden Wishes Bundle will be available to order beginning on January 5th!

Shop the Year-End Closeout sale! These retiring items, so deeply discounted, are only available to order through January 4th!

Stampin’ Up! Fine Art Floral with Gilded Leafing!

Posted on December 30, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I have my last sneak peek with the Fine Art Floral Suite. This card has a decidedly Asian feel to it and I used new Gilded Leafing from the suite to create the background.

This card turned out to be gorgeous and I love it. However, the Gilded Leafing is a challenge to use so unless you are up for a mess I wouldn't recommend it to the faint of heart.

Let me explain. I started off by stamping the bloom repeatedly on a 4" x 5 1/4" layer of Basic Black with Versamark, sprinkled the with the Heat & Stick Powder from the suite. You need to be very careful when heating Heat & Stick; it's very easy to overheat and then it won't be sticky. I used my heat tool from the underneath side of the card stock to keep from overheating. Then I laid the sticky layer in a tray and sprinkled the Gilded Leafing over the entire piece. I smashed the leafing into the sticky with my fingers and then used a dry brush to flick away the excess leafing. This took awhile and lots of tiny pieces flew everywhere; it was impossible to keep it all in the tray.

Unless you are fond of cleaning up tiny bits of leafing from your work surface, hands, and clothes, I'd leave this off your wish list. Sorry to give it a poor review, but I wouldn't want you to be misled. I will probably play with it again, but I'm also going to re-create this card with gold heat embossing for a much cleaner result. After stamping the bloom with Poppy Parade ink I quickly sprinkled it with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and heated with my Heat Tool. I cut it and the Mossy Meadow-stamped stem with Floral Gallery Dies.

The inside sentiment is from the Art Gallery stamp set.

Art Gallery Bundle	Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set	Floral Gallery Dies
Gilded Leafing Embellishment	Versamark Pad	Heat & Stick Powder

Stampin’ Up! Fine Art Floral Sneak Peek #3!

Posted on December 29, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today I am sharing my favorite card I've created so far with the Fine Art Floral Suite! I paired the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (also known as DSP) with a Flirty Flamingo card base and a sentiment from the Happy Thoughts set:

I added 1/4" Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding, tying in a little bow, and three Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels for some sparkle.

After punching the birthday greeting with the Story Label Punch I punched Flirty Flamingo with the same punch and then cut it in half to add to the back side leaving a space in the middle to create a mat of the same shape.

Easy-peasy!

I stamped another Happy Thoughts sentiment inside, as well as one of the blooms from the Art Gallery stamp set with Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade ink.

Stampin’ Up! Art Gallery Sneak Peek!

Posted on December 26, 2020 by Carol Payne

Hey there! Today is our first day out of quarantine, and although I don't think we are venturing out yet and may not for a few more days, it's good to know we don't have to stay home!

We will be having our family Christmas next week on New Year's Day, so I still have Christmas-y things to do when I feel up to it. We are still pretty tired.

Today I'm sharing a fun card I created with the new Art Gallery Bundle from the Fine Art Floral Suite in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog:

The element that attracted me the most to this bundle was the Floral Gallery Dies with the "just want to say" phrase, so of course I used it on the very first card I made! I embossed the Petal Pink layer with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder after I had added the strip of Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. I added a bow tied with Mossy Meadow 3/16" Braided Linen Trim to coordinate with the Mossy Meadow card base.

Inside I inked the flowers with Blushing Bride then used a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker to add the streaks of color to the blooms.

All of the stamps, dies, and accessories used on today's card will be available to order starting on January 5th, 2021!

Until then you can shop the Year-End Closeout for some good deals on retiring Holiday Catalog products. All items are while-supplies-last. Check inventory in my online store to be sure of availability.
