Darling Donkeys New Year's Card and Sale-A-Bration Sneak Peek

                   

  • Stampin' Up! Darling Donkeys Stamp Set
  • January 2021 Sale-A-Bration Sneak Peek
  • Sending Hearts January Paper Pumpkin Kit - Order by 10 January 2021

I'm sure I'm not the only one ready to kick 2020 to the curb, as we look forward to a better 2021.  This card is a sneak peek of one of the Free Sale-A-Bration selections that demonstrators can order as part of their pre-order, and customers can select as a free gift with a $50 USD order beginning January 5.  Aren't these donkey's adorable?  You'll find so many uses for these happy donkeys on Birthday cards, thinking-of-you cards, and for just about any celebration.  I colored the donkey's with Smoky Slate Blends, and added Shaded Spruce die cuts using the Word Wishes Dies and the Playful Alphabets Dies.  You'll love creating your own playful scenes with these mischievous donkeys.                  


2021 New Years greeting card with donkey kicking 2020





The card above uses a basecard of Shaded Spruce Cardstock.  Then a layer of whisper White for the image layers on the front and inside.  The three donkeys from the Darling Donkeys Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set were stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored using Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends Markers, and then fussy cut so they could be popped up on dimensionals and positioned to create a fun panorama.

The stars stamped on the inside and front cover are also from the Darling Donkeys Stamp Set.  They are stamped in Shaded Spruce.  The party hat is from the Zany Zebras Stamp set and also stamped in Shaded Spruce.  The shadow under the donkeys is from Zany Zebras and it is stamped in Smoky Slate ink.

The sentiment "Happy" is from the A Wish For Everything Stamp Set, and it is stamped in Just Jade ink.  The words "New Year"  Are die cut using the Word Wishes Dies and die cut out of Shaded Spruce cardstock.  The numerals 2020 are from the Playful Alphabets Dies and are also cut from Shaded Spruce cardstock. The balloon shapes are from a retired punch, and a punched from Just Jade and Shaded Spruce cardstock.  I added a few Just Jade 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots to the card for a little bling.

Spotlight on two Upcoming Sale-A-Bration FREE Selections

                  

  • Stampin' Up! Heal Your Heart Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set
  • January 2021 Sale-A-Bration Flower & Field Designer Series Paper
  • Sending Hearts January Paper Pumpkin Kit - Order by 10 January 2021

Oh my!  I opened one of the new, Free Sale-A-Bration 2021 papers, called Flower & Field Designer Series Paper, and I'm sooo in love with it.   Although the weather in Houston was a very pleasant 70 degrees, and feels like Fall, this new, beautiful watercolor print Designer Series Paper is a fresh splash of Spring.  A rich, vibrant, jewel-like Spring.  I paired with with Just Jade and Shaded Spruce Cardstock, In Color Enamel Dots, and Just Jade In Color Ribbon to create a very simple, yet dramatic card.   We're only a couple of weeks away from the start of Sale-A-Bration and some of my customers have started receiving the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  These were shipped on December 8, so you'll soon be able to turn to page 10 of the Sale-A-Bration Brochure to see the other lovely prints in this Free gift with a $50 Stampin' Up! purchase during Sale-A-Bration.  Demonstrators are able to pre-order items from these new catalogs now, AND earn free Sale-A-Bration gifts with their orders.  Customers will be able to begin ordering January 5 from these new brochures.  I'm sure you'll love this new Designer Series Paper as much as I do.                 


Floral Thank You Card using Stampin' Up! Heal Your Heart Stamp Set



The card above uses a basecard of Shaded Spruce Cardstock.  Then a layer of Just Jade cardstock.  And then a layer of one of the prints from the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper, a Free Sale-A-Bration selection with a $50 order (not including shipping andn tax), beginning January 5, 2021.   

  
Stampin' Up! Floral Thank You Card using Flower & Field Designer Series Paper





The sentiments are from another Free Sale-A-Bration selection, The Heal Your Heart stamp set.  Also Free with a $50 order.  Spend $100 (no including shipping and tax) and order both the stamp set and the Flower & Field Designer Series Paper (155223) and the Heal Your Heart Stamp Set (155291) on January 5, 2021.  I used dies from the Hippo & Friends Dies to die cut these labels from Whisper White Cardstock.  
   
   
Floral handmade greeting card using Flower & Field Designer Series Paper



The sentiments are both from the Heal Your Heart Sale-A-Bration Stamp Set, and they are stamped in Just Jade ink.   I created bows using the Just Jade 2020-2022 In Color Ribbon and added them to the card front.   Then I added one of the Just Jade 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots to each sentiment label.
