What do you do with your left over "extras" while you're creating cards?

                     

• Paper Pumpkin Lovely Day Stamp Set
• You could substitute So Much Love for Lovely Day Stamp Set
• January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and SAB are on the way

I decided to use up some of the "extras" that have accumulated on my work tables over the past several months, as the little baggies and big bags of labels and die cuts were beginning to encroach on my work area. I found two lovely flowers and I thought they were from the So Much Love Stamp Set, so I quickly pulled together todays cards...only to find out that the images weren't So Much Love, but were from the Paper Pumpkin Lovely Day Stamp Set from the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I had forgotten how much I loved the floral image from this stamp set.  I paired it with Rich Razzelberry and Rococo Rose and a piece of Vellum Cardstock.  Then I found a couple different sentiments on Stitched Rectangles Die Cut and Ornate Boarders Die Cut and I was done.  I love pulling together quick cards...and I used some of the extra pieces that were cluttering my work space.  Makes me sooo happy. 

           

The cards have different orientations, but use the same color combinations, and stamps.   The basecard is Rich Razzelberry.  Then a layer of Vellum Cardstock die cut with the rectangles from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  Then a smaller Rococo Rose layer also die cut with one of the smaller rectangles from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

The floral image is from the February 2020 Paper Pumpkin Lovely Day Stamp Set.  However, you can easily substitute a floral image from the So Much Love Stamp Set from the Annual Catalog.  I used Light Rich Razzelberry Stampin' Blends and Light Old Olive Stampin' Blends to color the floral image. The image is so easy to color with shading, giving your image a more professional look.  

I added sentiments on different die cuts.  One uses a Stitched Rectangle Die Cut and the other used a die cut from the Ornate Borders Dies and the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set.  A Rhinestone Gem is included on each sentiment.  I stamped the inside of the card and the envelopes with one of the images from the Four Seasons Floral Stamp Set.  

 

My tip for today is to save your extra die cuts, sentiments, and image.  When in need of a quick card, grab your "extras" and you'll find you can create cards quickly with less effort than creating a card from scratch.

Dragonfly Garden paired with Healing Hugs Stamp Set

                    

• Stampin' Up! Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set
• Coordinating Dragonflies Punch from the Dragonfly Garden Bundle
• January-June 2021 Mini Catalog and SAB are on the way

I decided to combine the new Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set with the Healing Hugs Stamp Set to make today's card.  I used Bermuda Bay ink to stamp flowers, dragonflies and sentiment, plus I decorated the envelope with one of the stamps from the Dragonfly Garden.  Beginning 1 December 2020 Demonstrators can order Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set with their preorder from the January-June 2021 Mini catalog, a perk for being a Demonstrator.  On January 5 customers can order from the new catalog.  I love pairing Stampin' Up! Stamps together to create lovely cards.    

           

The cards today have different orientations, but use the same color combinations, stamps and both use the new Dragon Flies Punch with images from the Dragonfly Garden.  The basecard is Thick Whisper White.  Then a layer of Bermuda Bay cardstock, and the image layer is Whisper White.  

  

The large flower from the Healing Hugs Stamp Set is stamped in each of the four corners.  On the vertical card, I stamped the flowers full strength.  On the horizontally oriented card I stamped the flowers off first, which I thought would make the dragonflies pop more, but in the end, I think I like the full-strength flowers on the vertical card best.  I then stamped one of the Dragonfly Garden images in Bermuda Bay and punched it out using the Dragonflies Punch.  Because the punch punches both large and small dragonflies at the same time, I was careful to only punch one  large dragonfly at a time.       

   

   

I added  sentiments from the Dragonfly Garden stamped in Bermuda Bay ink again.  I used two different die cut shapes.  The horizontal card uses a die cut from the Tasteful Labels Dies.  I hand cut a Bermuda Bay mat to fit behind the label.    The vertical card uses a scalloped rectangle from the Stitched so sweetly Dies.  The Dragonflies and the sentiments labels are mounted on Dimensionals. To add a little bling,  I added 3/8" Pool Party Sheer Ribbon to one card and scattered a few Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems onto each card.

 

The Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set is another of the many selections you'll see in the upcoming 2021 January-June Mini Catalog.  If you're a crafter, you'll want to add items from the upcoming 2021 catalogs to your Wish List and place your order right away on 5 January 2020.   

Items from the current catalog items and a Christmas Gift Certificate to purchase your new favorites when the January-June Mini Catalog arrives would make a great holiday gift.  Contact me if you need a gift certificate. You can set up a Favorites List right on my Stampin' Up! site for current catalog items. And when you are ready, you can place an order directly on line.  Or, down load a Shopping List today, then contact me when you're ready for more creative ideas and to purchase new craft supplies.

If you live in the USA and don't have a demonstrator and want a copy of the upcoming 2021 mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration Brochure  contact me. I'll be pacing an order for new catalogs December 1, and I'm having Stampin' Up! mail catalogs directly to my customers who allowed me to add you to my mailing lists when you purchased within the past 6 months.
