The new Jan-June 2021 Mini Catalog and Jan-Feb 2021 Sale-a-Bration Brochure were introduced to Stampin’ Up! demonstrators this past weekend at our OnStage@Home event. Those of us that attended were able to preorder select products, so of course I DID! Did you see my unboxing video? If you are receiving this post via email, click here so you can see the video below and view it from my blog.

That special OnStage preorder period ended, but now all demonstrators will be able to preorder from ALL the products in those publications starting December 1st. So guess what!? I’ll need to do another unboxing video in early December. Stay tuned!

Are you interested in getting the 2021 Jan-June Mini Catalog and Jan-Feb Sale-a-Bration Brochure mailed to you? Click here for more information and to access the catalog request form. Otherwise links to the online versions will post on January 5th, the same day the products go live in my online store.

If you watched my unboxing video, then you saw that beautiful Golden Garden Designer Acetate from the Fine Art Floral Suite that coordinates with the Fine Art Floral Designer Paper. I shared how one of the sheets of acetate lines up with one of the sheets of designer paper. WELL…there is one more pair! So I took those two pairs and cut 4″ x 5-1/4″ pieces from them as shown (while they were stacked in their acetate/designer paper pairs).

And I came up with these super easy but stunning cards.

Products I used… See below for a complete list of current products linked to where you can find them in my online store. Remember many of these items are not available until January 5th.

Measurements per card…

• Whisper White Thick Cardstock
  • 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored parallel to short side at 5-1/2″
  • 1″ x 4″
• Golden Garden Designer Acetate
  • 4″ x 5-1/4″
• Fine Art Floral Designer Paper
  • 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • 1/2″ x 4″
• Gold Foil Sheet
  • 1/2″ x 4″
• Fine Art 3/8″ Ribbon
  • 10″

Directions…

• Cut the layered and lined up acetate/designer paper
• Stamp sentiment from the Art Gallery Stamp Set from that suite using Mossy Meadow ink onto 1″ x 4″ strip of Whisper White Thick Cardstock. Then adhere to 1/2″ x 4″ strip of Gold Foil and attach that to the top of the acetate. Peel off the protective layer on the back of the acetate. (I made 12 of these cards and forgot to do that!)
• Then attach the acetate to the designer paper by placing the adhesive behind the sentiment strip.
• Tie the 10″ of Fine Art Ribbon around a Clear Block C as shown, slide off the block, and cut the large loop to get a 2″ long end on the right and a 3″ long end on the left.

• Then wrap and adhere the those ends from the front (under the sentiment) to the back. Add a Glue Dot under the center of the knot to secure the ribbon.
• Then attach this all to the front of the card base.

• Stamp the sentiment on the inside of the card and add the 1/2″ by 4″ strip of coordinating designer paper.

As I mentioned, I made 12 of these birthday cards. And I made them quickly. I hope my “November birthday” Stampers With ART Stars can forgive me about forgetting to take the protective film off the acetate.
