Happy New Year! I hope your holidays were fabulous! The New Year brings great new things from Stampin’ Up!, and I have a preview for you today…
The focus of this sneak peek is “Lotus Blossom” from the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalog. It is one of the stamps sets you can choose for FREE with a $50 order, starting January 6. I also used new products from the upcoming Occasions catalog – the Spring Flowers embossing folder, Something Borrowed designer paper and Sahara Sand lace trim. Just a couple more days until we can start ordering all of these goodies!
I made the lotus flower and stem with 5 stamps and 3 colors. That sounds complicated but it’s not. It is easiest to show in a series of pictures. The flower itself is a three-step stamp.
I stamped the first part of the image with Elegant Eggplant.
I used Elegant Eggplant again on the second part of the image, only this time I stamped it off to get a lighter shade. The set is photopolymer (totally clear), so the stamps are easy to line up.
I used Wisteria Wonder on the third stamp to fill in the rest of the flower. The stamps are numbered and have registration tabs for alignment.
There are two stamps for the stem – I used Mossy Meadow first.
I filled in the stem with lighter (stamped off) Mossy Meadow. The coral flower is done the same way with Calypso Coral and Crisp Cantaloupe.
The greeting you see here comes with the set, too, along with a simple “thank you”. It is a great set, but it is only one of the items you can choose for FREE with a $50 order starting January 6.
Please contact me if you would like the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs, or check back on January 6 to see the new products in the store. Order $35 or more from my online store and you will also receive my Featured Project – the “Snuggles and Smooches” curvy box and file folder card. Please allow demo contact so that I get your address to send you these items, or send me an email with your contact info.
Have a great day!
