Preview of Sale-a-Bration items and Spring 2021 Mini Catalog! Available in January 2021! Want them sooner ?? Join my team !

 


Sale-a-Bration and the new Mini Catalog for Spring 2021 will be available in January 2021! If you join Stampin' Up! with me, you can order these products and more starting December 1, 2020. 

These Bermuda Bay goodies feature the Simply Succulents Bundle (2021 Spring Mini Catalog) and one of the  Sale-a-Bration DSP called Oh So Ombre. The Succulents bundle features a beautiful stamp set with sentiments and images to color with your choice of mediums; Stampin' Blends or water color pencils would be my choice! It has coordinating dies for the stamp set images, but also a card front size die featured here. It cuts "like butter!" In my true Newstalgia form, the glimmer paper is from a retired 6x6 pad called Myths and Magic. Use what you have on hand! A gorgeous  option would be to use the Rainbow glimmer paper in the current Annual Catalog, or use white Shimmer Paint mixed with alcohol in a spritz bottle and a couple of drops of Bermuda By ink refill on Whisper White Cardstock. The key to using the large Succulents die is to apply Adhesive Sheets to the back of the card stock PRIOR to die cutting. 
This is the Blackberry Bliss paper from the Ombre pack. It is my favorite I think. The embossing on the card front is simply from the Stitched rectangle dies; I used an embossing mat on the Cut and Emboss machine rather than the cutting plate. The next to the largest rectangle die was used to cut out the focal image. The white glimmer paper is from the Myths and Magic DSP.


Here are the other Ombre colors available in the FREE DSP, Granny Apple Green and Rococo Rose. 
Instead of the glimmer paper, you can use Whisper White  sprayed with white shimmer paint mixed with Alcohol in a SU! spritz bottle.  I used pearls to embellish the sentiment, but any gem embellishment would be pretty. I have listed the Elegant Faceted Gems below as a suggestion. There is also a Rose glimmer paper that is listed in the Product list below.

Poinsettia Holiday Cards

I am simply loving the new Poinsettia stamps and dies from the new Mini Holiday catalog . I have used them a lot over the last few weeks. The Designer's series paper seen here is from last year's left over stash. Pool Party is one of my faves for Christmas cards. The red is from red  glimmer paper scraps. The sentiment is from a very old set Come to Bethlehem, but of course any sentiment will be great used with this set. That just happens to be the set I had on my desk at the time. I did use the new Lovely Label  punch though! I am learning to love the versatility of this punch. the flower is cut from the white velveteen 
paper. 
This is the same layout, but using red glimmer paper for the flower. The white springs are cut out from the Poinsettia DSP using the coordinating dies.

This flower is cut from red velveteen paper. The dies emboss the leaves as it cuts. The detail in the flower petals is amazing!
How about the DSP from the Poinsettia Suite?
It is stunning! 


The velveteen paper is so pretty embossed! I used the Dainty Diamonds embossing folder on the red velveteen paper before adding it to the card. A little of the white base card under the red shows through. I love that look! A shout out to Lisa Cursio for the inspiration for this card. 

This is an alternative project from October's Paper Pumpkin using the poinsettia flower cut from the DSP and some accents from the Forever Gold pack.
