It’s Friday Tutorial day but first, I’d like to give an update on our new catalogs. If you’ve placed a Stampin’ Up! order with me within the last six months, I ordered a Mini Catalog & Sale-a-Bration brochure for you at the end of November. On December 9th, Stampin’ Up! shipped all the catalogs. With the unprecedented amount of mail going through the USPS system, many of your catalogs haven’t arrived yet and for that, I’m truly sorry but please know they are on the way to you!!!
Stampin’ Up! policy does not allow me to post the link to the online version of the catalogs until they have released the catalog online to the public, which will be January 5, 2021, no later than 3:00 am Mountain Time, which is also when you can start ordering from the catalogs. In my blog post on the 5th, I will include the links for you and if you still haven’t received your catalogs, you’ll have full access to them online. Fingers crossed they arrive tomorrow or Monday!
Today I’m sharing a tutorial for a card that contains several products available on Tuesday, January 5, 2021.
The new products are:
- Sweet Strawberry stamp set* (#154394) – available in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog
- Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper (#157613)- available as a FREE Sale-a-Bration gift with a $100 order (also includes the Berry Blessings stamp set)
The Sweet Strawberry Bundle (#156214) includes the Sweet Strawberry stamp set & the Strawberry Builder Punch.
You can access your free tutorial below the Supply List.

Happy New Year!!
On this first day of 2021, I want to say thank you for being here. This past year is one we won’t soon forget. It brought many challenges to everyone and heartache to so many. But there were also moments to cherish.
In April, I shared that my mother-in-law had passed away. I was floored by the number of emails and comments I received showing nothing but kindness and understanding from so many of you. You have no idea how much that meant to me.
In this past year, I’ve received so many nice comments about the cards I share. I read every single comment & email and am always so touched. I feel that I’ve made so many new friends this past year through my blog and that is a definite good thing to come out of 2020.
Thank you so much! I wish you nothing but happiness, joy, and good health in 2021!
P.S. I will be back later today with my Friday Tutorial.

Are you ready for another sneak peek of the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog that debuts on January 5, 2021? There are 27 new dies in the catalog (yes, 27!!!) and today I’m sharing a card I made with the brand new Flowering Vine Dies (#154332) and the new stamp set, Oval Occasions (#154477).
I started with a piece of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and then added a layer of Whisper White cardstock. Before adhering it to the card front, I placed it inside the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I also ran a piece of Highland Heather cardstock through my die-cutting machine using one of three large flowery dies in the Flowering Vine Dies set. Using my Multipurpose Glue, I added glue on the larger parts of the die cut piece and then adhered it to the front of the card (you could also use one of our adhesive sheets but I found the glue easier).
The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Gorgeous Grape ink and the stamp set Oval Occasions (debuting on the 5th). I cut it out using the Classic Label Punch. I added Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back before adhering it to the flowering vine design. To complete the card, I added small pearls to the flowers.
You can purchase the Flowering Vine Dies beginning on January 5th. It can also be purchased in the Vine Design Bundle (#156266) and includes the stamp set, Vine Design.

Measurements

- ** Whisper White cardstock: (2) 5-1/4″ x 4″
- ** Whisper White cardstock: scrap for sentiment
- Highland Heather cardstock: approximately 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
** Unfortunately, Whisper White cardstock is no longer available. If you haven’t heard, the mill that produces our Whisper White cardstock has permanently closed due to impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic. This news is sad in so many ways.
Stampin’ Up! didn’t have much notice before receiving this news but they have worked on a new replacement for all Whisper White products which will be called Basic White. In the last few days, Whisper White cardstock and Whisper White envelopes have sold out and Basic White products are not yet in stock. No information has been released as to when we’ll be able to order these new products but I’ll keep you informed as I learn more.

Today I’d like to showcase two products I’ve loved using from the August- December Mini Catalog and sadly, both are retiring and only available while supplies last. They are: Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Gathered Leaves Dies. They pair so beautifully together and I’ve made many cards using this duo.
Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper went on backorder many times and it was hard to keep in stock!
The Gathered Leaves Dies actually debuted in a previous catalog and made a return in the Holiday Mini Catalog. When you run three of the leaves in the set through your die-cutting machine, they are not just cut out but embossed as well! These leaves are so pretty using any of our foil sheets.
Below you’ll see cards created using the Gathered Leaves Dies. The first two cards were made with Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, also retiring and available while supplies last. The next cards were created with Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper. If you click on some of the cards, you can see the original blog post for the card but in MOST cases, there wasn’t a blog post sharing the card because it was a card in one of my previous Card Samplers or Card Kits (I send card kits out with each order). I wanted to include all the cards I made using these products to show you the possibilities. If you have questions about any of the cards, just let me know.
These next cards were created with Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.
Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Gathered Leaves Dies are available while supplies last or January 4, 2021. To see everything still available in the Year-End Closeout, click here!

Hello Friends!
I hope everyone had a nice holiday! It’s a very rainy day here in California for which I’m grateful because we haven’t had rain in a very long time. It’s nice and cozy inside the house!
I wanted to make a New Years card for several friends but realized I didn’t have much in my crafting supplies to make one. I’ll be honest, I’ve never made a New Year’s card! This is what I came up with.
Normally I don’t share projects with retired product but it was only after I made my card I realized Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper is no longer available. If you were one of the lucky ones to snag a package before it sold out, you can find this pretty background, that almost looks like a starry night.
I used our Stitched Stars Dies and Playful Alphabets Dies to create my card. The stars were cut out of Silver Foil and the numbers out of Night of Navy cardstock. Before cutting out the stars or numbers, I added an adhesive sheet to the cardstock so that adhesive would be on the back of each piece after running them through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. What a lifesaver!
Whisper White Cardstock Update: Whisper White in 8-1/2″ x 11″ has sold out but I’ve not heard an updates on when the Basic White will be available. I will let you know when I know more.
