December Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop: Theme - SAB/ Jan-Jun Mini Catalog

Welcome to the December Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop!

This month's theme is all about the upcoming 2021 Jan-Jun Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration! Yes it's that time of the year. Starting January 5th, With any $50 or $100 purchase you can choose FREE products from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure. If you have made any purchases from me in the last year you should receive your free catalog & brochure in the mail. AND there will be TWO Sale-A-Bration periods this year. This 1st one will be from Jan-Feb and another one from Jul-Aug. More to Sale-A-Brate!

Todays project uses product from the Fine Art Floral Suite. The Art Gallery Bundle, which includes the Art Gallery Photopolymer Stamp Set & the coordinating Floral Gallery Dies (Save 10% when you purchase the bundle). The Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper (DSP) was used for my Card Front on a Whisper White Thick Card Base. Then I added a Golden Garden Designer Specialty Acetate layer (which matches the DSP! Genius, right?). 2 of the 3 Acetate sheets coordinate with 2 sheets of the DSP. I tied a bow around my Card Front Layers with the beautiful Fine Art 3/8" Ribbon. Next came the Stitched Embossed Rectangle. I Embossed the Whisper White layer with the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder. Then die cut the 2 5/8" x 3 15/16" Stitched Rectangle. I used one of our new Blending Brushes to add some Petal Ping Ink to the Stitched Embossed Layer. The DSP layer was pretty busy to my minds eye, so I wanted some separation for the beautiful Art Gallery Flower. The Flower Head was stamped 1st with Flirty Flamingo and the for the 2nd stamp I used Poppy Parade. I can't wait to try the Gold Leafing on the 2nd Stamp (The flower heads are Two-Step Stamping). The leaves and stem are stamped with Old Olive Ink. After die cutting the flower pieces I angled these onto my Rectangle a bit and popped up my die cut Sentiment with Dimensionals on top of the Stem. Oh, the Sentiments are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I love the Sentiment Die cut, it has a Postage Stamp cut to it. This suite is going to get a lot of use in my studio. It has so many possibilities.

The Fine Art Floral Suite will be available for purchase starting January 5th, 2021. But if you wanted to become a Demonstrator or even a Hobby Demonstrator, you could purchase these this suite today as a part of your Starter Kit. Choose $125 worth of products for just $99.
