Story of Elegance
Happy New Year everyone! I’m so grateful for the start of a new year. New beginnings are always full of hope and excitement, dreams and goals, and opportunity. I’m happy for the opportunity to continue to share what I love and I’m oh so excited about the wonderful new products and opportunities that are available with Stampin’ Up! So let me show you what’s up.
For those who are new to Stampin’ Up!, at the beginning of each year, Stampin’ Up celebrates with a fantastic sale. In fact it is called Sale-A-Bration and it’s a wonderful way to get free stuff. And who doesn’t like free stuff? For every $50 spent on any Stampin’ Up! products (before tax and shipping), you can choose FREE Sale-A-Bration products. There’s no limit!

You get to choose.

We also have a new mini-catalog that launches today through June 30, 2020. I started crafting from the new catalog with a few of my favorites- Painted Poppies stamp set, Poppy Moments die set, and Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. Here are the first three cards I made using these products. A birthday card, a thank you card and a Thinking of You card.
A Poppy Happy Birthday
To create this card, I stamped the 3 poppies onto a 3 3/4 x 5 sheet of Whisper White card stock. I colored the flowers with Dark and Light Poppy Parade and Light Old Olive stamping blends, and used a Basic Black marker to make the accents around the flowers. Next, I stamped the happy birthday sentiment from the December 2019 Something for Everything Paper Pumpkin kit using Memento Black ink. Then, a 1 x 5 strip of Poppy Parade card stock was added to the base of the panel, and the strip was covered with Black Glittered Organdy ribbon. Finally, the panel was adhered to a 4 x 5 1/4 sheet of Basic Black card stock and added to a Thick Whisper White card stock base.
A Poppy Thank You
To create this card I started with the sentiment panel. I stamped poppies from the Painted Poppies stamp set onto a 1 1/2 x 3 1/2 piece of Whisper White card stock and colored them with Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. Then, I stamped the sentiment from the Thoughtful Blooms (FREE) stamp set. Next, I adhered the sentiment panel to a 2 x 3 3/4 piece of Poppy Parade card stock. To complete the panel, I stamped poppies onto a 3 3/4 x 5 sheet of Whisper White card stock and colored them with Dark Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends. Then, I die cut a Poppy and flower center using the Poppy Moments die set and adhered it to the panel. I used a Basic Black marker to create the accents. Finally, I adhered both panels together onto a Thick Whisper White card stock base.
A Poppy Thinking of You card
For this last card I embossed a 4 x 5/14 sheet of Whisper White card stock using the Subtle embossing folder. Then, I added ad 2 x 5 1/4 inch strip of DSP and a 5/8 inch x 5 1/4 inch strip of black DSP to the panel. I stamped the sentiment onto a scrap of Whisper White card stock and punch the sentiment with the Classic Label punch. Next, I die cut the flower and flower center and finished by adding three Basic Rhinestone Jewels to the black strip.
