Art Gallery Bundle from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog

Stampin' Up! Art Gallery Stamp Set
January 2021 Mini Catalog Sneak Peek of Fine At Floral Premiere Collection
Get ready for the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog

Today I got the chance to play with the Art Gallery Bundle, a new stamp set and coordinating set of dies from the upcoming January - June 2021 Mini catalog. I think you're going to love this bundle. The Art Gallery Stamp Set is a two-step stamp set. I paired it with some of the Oh So Ombre Designer Series Paper, a new, FREE Sale-A-Bration collection, which I almost didn't order (what a dummy!). Of course, as soon as I saw this paper in real life, it quickly became my favorite from all of the new papers on my preorder. The The Art Gallery Stamp set is a two-step stamp set. I used Rich Razzelberry ink and Blackberry Bliss to create these lovely flowers. The bundle includes the Floral Gallery Dies, so I was easily able to die cut bunches of flowers to use along the sides of each card.

The cards use a basecard of Rich Razzleberry. Then a layer of Whisper White. Then a layer of the Oh So Ombre 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper.

I then added layers of the Metallic Mesh Ribbon along the left side of my card. It added a softness to the card that I felt was needed after stamping such bold flower colors. Then I stamped three sets of flowers for each card using RIch Razzelberry ink for the base flower and then Blackberry Bliss as the accent color. Don't worry, the stamps do all the work. You just add ink colors that you find pleasing. I cut some of the flowers apart for the top and bottom and the line of flowers, and used two full sets of flowers in the middle. I popped the flowers up on dimensionals to give the card more depth.

I added a Silver Metallic Edged Ribbon to the card, and added sentiments stamped in Rich Razzelberry. The sentiments are also from the At Gallery Stamp Set. And the fun edge on the sentiment label is created by one of the Floral Gallery Dies. To add a little more bling, I scattered three Basic Rhinestones onto the card front.

One more Sneak Peak from the new 2021 catalog using Floating & Fluttering Bundle

Stampin' Up! Floating & Fluttering Stamp Set
Another January 2021 Mini Catalog Sneak Peek
Need a new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog?

I Love Butterflies. When stampin' Up! introduced the Floating & Fluttering Stamp Set in the upcoming January 2021, it quickly became part of my catalog preorder of new goodies. This is such an easy set to work with. One stamp includes three butterflies and three different foliage images. You can use the group of images to create your own background or, as I did on today's card, cut them apart and use them as elements on your card. The set come Floating & Fluttering Stamp set comes with coordinating dies, and I love that it includes two dies for the butterflies and foliage image. So you can stamp your Flirty Flamingo set once and your Pear Pizzazz foliage images once, and then use the two duplicate dies to die cut both images at the same time! I often find myself purchasing two sets of dies when there are numerous small pieces to die cut. Saves so much prep time when creating bulk cards. However, with this set, I don't need to!!

Butterfly Greeting card using Floating & Fluttering Bundle from Stampin' Up!

The cards today use a basecard of Flirty Flamingo. Then a layer of Basic Black. Then a layer of Flirty Flamingo print from the Brights 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper pack. The image layer uses a layer of Whisper White, then one of of Flirty Flamingo, both pieces used the corner rounder that is part of the Detailed trio Punch. Then I created a Whisper White layer using the label stamp that is part of the Floating & Fluttering Stamp Set, and used the coordinating die from the Fluttering Dies to die cut it.

Pink Butterfly greeting card using Stampin' UP! Gloating & luttering Stamp Set

I used the large, grouped stamp from the set and stamped it in Memento Black ink onto Flirty Flamingo. Then I inked the stamp again and stamped it onto Pear Pizzazz. I used the two identical dies to die cut both groupings at the same time...talk about convenient! I used my paper snips to cut the images apart, and used the butterflies in Flirty Flamingo and the foliage in Pear Pizzaz to complete the image portion of my card.

Two butterfly greeting cards using Fluttering Dies from Stampin' Up!

I created a bow using the Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon which softened the card nicely. I used sentiments from the Butterfly Wishes Stamp Set and then I die cut labels using the Stitched Rectangles Dies, and stamped the sentiments in Tuxedo Black Memento ink. To complete the card, I used a Basic Black Stampin' Blends Marker to color three Metallic Pearls an then scattered them on the card front.
