Today’s an Exciting Day

Like I said, today’s an exciting day because not only does the new Jan – April mini catalog go live, but it is also the start of Sale-a-bration! There are so many wonderful products to choose from as a free gift when you purchase $50 or more during Sale-a-bration. My favorite is the Flight & Airy designer series paper (162977). This paper will definitely sell out quickly! Order it as soon as you can.

Today’s an Exciting Day Because You Can Earn More Free Product

Here are images of some cards you will be able to make with items from the Sale-a-bration catalog. First up is the Watercolor Melon stamp set (162962) and Sunny Days Designer Series Paper (162974). This designer series paper coordinates with the Bright Skies Bundle (162794) which you can find in the new mini catalog.

A bold font Heartfelt Hellos (162964) is another stamp set to get excited about. See it in action below. Look at what Stampin’ Up!’s design artists created with the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper (162978) which coordinates with the Trusty Tools Bundle (162723) in the new mini catalog. It’s a perfect masculine combination.

Rings of Love Fancy Fold Card

2 Replies

Making this Rings of Love Fancy Fold card is really quite easy! Start with a Crumb Cake cardstock base. Then add a layer of Soft Sea Foam cardstock and the beautiful Rings of Love designer series paper that will be free during Sale-a-bration for a $50 purchase.

I stamped the branch, leaves, and nest on crumb cake cardstock with Soft Suede and Parakeet Party ink and fussy cut them out. The bird was stamped on a scrap of Basic White cardstock using Starry Night ink stamped off once and the wing with full strength Starry Night ink. I stamped the belly with Daffodil Delight ink and colored the beak with Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blend. When I finished coloring the bird, I punched it out with the Songbird Builder Punch. Next I adhered the branch with the nest and the bird to the front of the narrow upright strip of cardstock. The finishing step was to stamp the greeting and then adhere this piece to the cardbase.

Happy New Year – 2020! May It Be The Best Yet!

Leave a reply

Happy New Year – 2020! It is hard to believe that it is actually 2020. When a kindergarten class was labelled as the class of 2020, it seemed like a very long time in the distance. Now 2020 is here! There is something about starting a new decade that is intimidating and yet exhilarating. A fresh page has begun. It is up to us to make it the best decade possible. My prayers for this new decade are that our society can become united in our common desires and respectful and generous with each other in our differences. So Happy New Year, Happy 2020!

Have you made New Year’s resolutions yet? Have you broken any of your resolutions yet? I have unfortunately. I have resolved to kick the sugar and carb addiction and eat a Keto lifestyle. Unfortunately, the leftover Christmas candy called my name insistently and by noon I had succumbed to that siren call. But…tomorrow is a new day and I can start again.

With my stamping business I resolve to keep in better touch with you all through my blog and social media. I really want to get to know you better, to know your likes, desires, and hopes. I’ll continue to share my creativity with you but hope to be able to include you in that creativity through online classes, classes by mail, and Facebook live presentations.

With the new year, we also have the beginning of Sale-A-Bration and a new Handmade for You mini catalog. These start on Jan 3. This means that today is the last day to purchase many of the supplies in the Holiday catalog. In particular, the bundles will no longer be available. Stampin’ Up! is trying a new strategy. Some of the items from the Holiday Catalog will be in the 2020-2021 Annual Catalog and can still be purchased before that catalog is live. Some other items from this year’s Holiday Catalog will be in the 2020 Holiday catalog but won’t be available until that catalog is live. The safest thing to do is not wait! If there are some items that you want from the 2019 Holiday catalog, especially the bundles, order them today! Visit my online store. The host code for January is P6KRKYMC. Please use it when you place your order to receive a small gift from me. You can also email me your order and pay through PayPal if that is more convenient for you.
