Welcome to my alphabet series showcasing some of the new products in the 2017 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs. I love the Happy Celebrations Stamp Set and the Celebrations Duo Textured Impressions Embossing Folders. The embossing folders were designed to coordinate with the stamp set. There is so much you can do with these…combine images with 2 step stamping, emboss first and stamp images on top, deboss for a letterpress look, watercolor, etc. Check out this video from Stampin’ Up! to see some of the different ways to combine these stamps to make cards for so many different occasions.
This set is so versatile! It works for masculine cards and kids of all ages! You can add some balloons, flowers, or bling to dress it up or keep it simple. I made 2 different cards using the same stamps with Party Animal Designer Series Paper. Which design do you prefer?
I added some Emerald Envy ribbon and the party hat embellishment from Party Animal on my first card. I stamped the inside sentiment using other stamps from the set.
You get a lot of bang for your buck with the Happy Celebrations Stamp Set and Celebrations Duo Embossing Folders.

It’s time to start Sale-A-Brating!!! Stampin’ Up!’s biggest sales event of the year is here—and I’m here to help you learn about the products inside and out. This alphabet series will showcase new products in the 2017 Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs. Today I am sharing a card I made using the Avant Garden Stamp Set (from the Sale-A-Bration catalog) and All Things ThanksStamp Set (from the Occasions catalog).
I started with a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of Sahara Sand cardstock for my card base. I scored it at 5 1/2 and added a 1 1/2 x 5 1/2 strip of Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper. I love how this flower from the Avant Garden Stamp Set goes with the DSP from the Annual Catalog. I stamped the flower on Whisper White using Island Indigo, Mint Macaron, and Whisper White (for the center of the flower). I used the Stitched Shapes Framelits (LOVE these!!!!) to cut out the flower and layered it on a piece of Mint Macaron cut with the Layering Ovals Framelits. (I love how Stampin’ Up! made it so these Framelits work together to give us more layering options.) I used the Mini Striped Mint Macaron Ribbon to tie a simple knot around my flower layer and attached it to my card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. The sentiment is from All Things Thanks and stamped in Island Indigo. Quick & Simple! I can think of so many people to send this card to. Florals are so versatile for so many different cards. It could be used for a birthday card, congratulations, thank you, or just a note for no special reason. I really like this sentiment and font!

Garden Green Designer Series Paper from the Regals Paper Stack
Welcome to the ABC’s with DSP! This month I am featuring projects showcasing Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper. Today’s paper is from the Regals Designer Series Paper Stack. Garden Green is a great choice to use for your holiday projects.
Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set and matching Framelits with Garden Green DSP
Today’s cards would be easy to reproduce multiples to send. I cut the DSP 2 x 6 to get 12 strips from each 12 x 12 sheet. You could make 48 cards or 24 cards with matching envelopes from each color scheme. I used Garden Green on my cards today. (Cherry Cobbler is also in the Regals Collection. You could make another 48 cards if needed and you would still have 8 more colors to choose from.) I used 3 of the 4 designs for my cards.

I used the Triple Banner Punch, Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set, and Wonderful Wreath Framelits to make my cards. Check out this short video from Stampin’ Up! for some great tips and samples using the Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set and Framelits.
I stamped my image a little different than she did in the video. I used Garden Green ink to stamp the image then lifted and turned the stamp a little to the right and stamped again without reinking so it stamps a lighter shade and fills in the space. Also, I cut the inside piece on the first card then decided I didn’t really need to cut that piece out for this particular card. It made it easier to adhere the die cut sentiment with the center piece intact. Did you notice the difference in the cards? You could choose to do it either way. When I’m mass producing I try to save steps wherever possible.

I love the Joy die that comes with the Wonderful Wreath Framelits. Noel is also in the set and if you want even more choices there’s merry, jolly, and peace dies in the Christmas Greetings Thinlits. If you want to see an easel card I made with the peace die CLICK HERE. I used the Cherry Cobbler silky taffeta ribbon from the Holiday Catalog to make my bows. You could use the bow die that comes with the framelits. Here’s a look at each card and matching envelope.
