What do you do with your left over "extras" while you're creating cards?

                     

  • Paper Pumpkin Lovely Day Stamp Set
  • You could substitute So Much Love for Lovely Day Stamp Set
  • January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and SAB are on the way
I decided to use up some of the "extras" that have accumulated on my work tables over the past several months, as the little baggies and big bags of labels and die cuts were beginning to encroach on my work area. I found two lovely flowers and I thought they were from the So Much Love Stamp Set, so I quickly pulled together todays cards...only to find out that the images weren't So Much Love, but were from the Paper Pumpkin Lovely Day Stamp Set from the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I had forgotten how much I loved the floral image from this stamp set.  I paired it with Rich Razzelberry and Rococo Rose and a piece of Vellum Cardstock.  Then I found a couple different sentiments on Stitched Rectangles Die Cut and Ornate Boarders Die Cut and I was done.  I love pulling together quick cards...and I used some of the extra pieces that were cluttering my work space.  Makes me sooo happy.

The cards have different orientations, but use the same color combinations, and stamps.   The basecard is Rich Razzelberry.  Then a layer of Vellum Cardstock die cut with the rectangles from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  Then a smaller Rococo Rose layer also die cut with one of the smaller rectangles from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

The floral image is from the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin Lovely Day Stamp Set.  However, you can easily substitute a floral image from the So Much Love Stamp Set from the Annual Catalog.  I used Light Rich Razzelberry Stampin' Blends and Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends to color the floral image. The image is so easy to color with shading, giving your image a more professional look.

I added sentiments on different die cuts.  One uses a Stitched Rectangle Die Cut and the other used a die cut from the Ornate Borders Dies and the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set.  A Rhinestone Gem is included on each sentiment.  I stamped the inside of the card and the envelopes with one of the images from the Four Seasons Floral Stamp Set.

My tip for today is to save your extra die cuts, sentiments, and image.  When in need of a quick card, grab your "extras" and you'll find you can create cards quickly with less effort than creating a card from scratch.   

Items from the current catalog or a Christmas Gift Certificate to purchase your new favorites when the January-June Mini Catalog arrives would make a great holiday gift for you or a crafting family member or friend.  Contact me if you need a gift certificate. You can set up a Favorites List right on my Stampin' Up! site for current catalog items. And when you are ready, you can place an order directly on line.  Or, down load a Shopping List today, then contact me when you're ready for more creative ideas and to purchase new craft supplies.

New catalogs coming January 2021





This morning I was online at 4:00 am placing my second demonstrator pre-order from these new catalogs. I can't wait to begin creating with even more new items from the upcoming January-June 2021 Mini Catalog.

I've placed an order for new catalogs for my customers who have purchased from me in the past 6 months and you will receive them towards the end of December. You'll receive both the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. 

Unfortunately, when Stampin' Up! changed their customer ordering system earlier this year, if you did not sign up to receive mailings from Stampin' Up!, I can no longer send you mailing, as the system doesn't allow me to see your address in the system.  Please log into your account on the Stampin' Up! site and ensure that you have indicated that you will receive mailings from Stampin' Up!, so that new catalogs can be mailed to you.   Then, contact me so I'm alerted to the change and can send you the new catalogs.

If you don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, and you would like to receive a new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and a Sale-A-Bration Brochure, contact  for copies of these new catalogs, which I will send directly to you..  You'll receive the new catalogs tmid to late December, ready for customer purchases 5 January 2021.  Contact me today for your copy.

Sale-A-Bration Sneak Peek using Stampin' UP! Darling Donkeys

                 

  • Stampin' Up! Enjoy The Moment Stamp Set
  • January 2021 Mini Catalog Sneak Peek
  • Need a new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog? 
My January 2021 catalog preorder of new goodies arrived late this afternoon and I just had to put together a couple of cute cards using one of the Sale-A-Bration stamps sets from my preorder.  

I pulled out the set called Darling Donkeys and decide to make two quick cads.  This set is sooo cute!  I selected a couple of pieces of 6" X 6" Designer Series Papers, die cut a label using a die from the Hippo & Friends Dies, added a Tricolor Ribbon and finished these fast cards.  I found the balloon from the Special Someone set worked with one of the donkeys, and I cut a scalloped stitched circle.  This set will be available to demonstrators December 1 (a great reason to join my team as a demonstrator, now), and customers can earn this set free with a $50 order beginning January 5, 2021.                


Two cards make using the Darling Donkeys Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set From Stampin' Up!


The cards use a basecard of Purple Pose.  Then, I selected prints from the Neutrals 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper and from the Brights 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper packs, cut two 3" X 3" squares, and added them to the card front.  Then I die cut a stitched label from Whisper White cardstock using one of the Hippo & Friends Dies.  
  

Handmade birthday card using Stampin' Up! Darling Donkeys Stamp Set

For the card above, I selected one of the donkeys from the Darling Donkeys along with one of the sentiments from this Sale-A-Bration set. I stamped the donkey in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  He just looked like he needed something, so I found a balloon from the Special Someone Stamp Set. First I positioned the balloon itself to make sure I knew where it would fit on the label.  Then I inked only the portion of the string I needed for the Balloon with a Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker.  Then I inked the balloon with Highland Heather ink and added it to the label.    
   
   
Greeting Card using Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration 2021 Stamp Set called Darling Donkeys


For the card above, I turned the die cut label 90 degrees from my first card and stamped another image from the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  I used a Highland Heather and Old Olive Stampin' Blends Markers to color the flower and stems.  I stamped a sentiment from the Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink on a die cut from the Tasteful Labels Dies.  I also used a length of 3/8" Tricolor Ribbon on each card.

This is just one of the many selections you'll see in the upcoming 2021 January-February Sale-A-Bration Brochure.  We needs some fun sets after the 2020 we've had! My customers who purchased within the past 6 months will receive copies of the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog plus the Sale-A-Bration brochure in late December.   This time of the year is a great time to ask for a Holiday gift that includes new products from the current catalogs and the upcoming 2021 catalogs.  Add these stamp sets and products to your Shopping List today, then contact me when you're ready for more creative ideas and to purchase your supplies.

If you live in the USA and don't have a demonstrator and want a copy of the upcoming 2021 mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure  contact me. I'll be putting in a order for new catalogs towards the end of November. I would love to be your Stampin' Up! Demonstrator.
