January 5-February 2021
Through Feb 28, 2021, you'll earn a free item out of the Sale-A-Bration Catalog for every $50.00 you spend (before shipping and tax).
Stampin’ Up! has changed things up a bit by having TWO events this year … January and February, then with a new set of products in June & July.
Be sure to check out the first round of Sale-A-Bration before it ends this month.
Now's a great time to stock up on stamping supplies and receive some fun goodies while you're at it!
I will continue sending out my Spring Inspiration e mails on February 9th and 23rd.
These will be in addition to my first of the month and my mid-month Fresh Ideas newsletters.
Please be sure to let me know if you have any questions.
Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick Bundles
There are now coordinating dies available too!
And Stampin' Up brought back Hey Chick, a similar stamp set with the same illustration style.
It too, has its own coordinating dies.
Both bundles are only available through June 2021.

Paper Towel Background
Wrapped Bouquet For You Card
Paper Towel Background
Wrapped Bouquet Love you Bunches
I like to craft with the paper towels I have used to clean stamps or blot watercolors.
They make interesting backgrounds with an added texture.
Plus, it's always good to recycle and reuse!
This was the case with the 2 cards above.
Separate the plys so you have 2 pieces of paper towel to craft with.
For the 1st card, I used the paper towel as the background for my bouquet of flowers. I really like the bright tie-dye effect, plus the added textural interest.
For the 2nd card, I stamped the newspaper wrapping image from Wrapped Bouquet on the paper towel, then cut it out using the coordinating Wrapped Flowers Die.
I have created a video tutorial showing how I worked with the paper towels and how the cards were put together.
This is an exclusive video only visible for my newsletter subscribers using the link below.

5. Stamp flower bouquet on a scrap piece of Whisper/Basic White card stock using Old Olive ink. I used the Stamparatus.
6. Color flowers using Stampin' Blends or Stampin' Write Markers. I used a variety of Stampin' Blends. Cut out using a die-cut machine and coordinating Wrapped Flowers Die. Lightly sponge Petal Pink ink on the stamped image to soften the white.

10. Fold top and panels on the card front. Attach flower bouquet panel. Note: If you don't want the panel to open to show the full insert, place Mini Dimensionals on the top and bottom to secure closed. Then, attach the card front to a Whisper/Basic White card base. If you want it to open to show the full insert (photo 2), allowing you to write your message on the inside, only place Mini Dimensionals on the panel's top.
