Spring 2021 Catalog Showcase - Part I

 Each time a new Stampin' Up! catalog debuts, I host a card swap for my team.  Here are some of the cards for you to enjoy!


Created by Ann Migliozzi in Balmy Blue & Pretty Peacock.  The stamp set is Soar Confidently.



Laura Malanowski shared this cute fancy fold card made with the Snailed It stamp set!

Cindy Brown used the Friends are Like Seashells bundle with Frost White Shimmer Paint to pearlize her cardstock.  Visit her blog at www.horsinaroundwithstamps.blogspot.com

Barb Heyer crafted this beautiful card with the Hydrangea Haven bundle.  Each tiny flower petal is pearlized and individually adhered!

This card uses the Pretty Perennials bundle with these pretty colors - Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam and Mint Macaron.  Beautiful card by Beth Daniels!  Visit her blog at www.fancyfloridastamper.blogspot.com

Stop back next week for some more cards from our swap!  Here are links to products used on these cards:

Friends are Like Seashells

 

These seashells are one of my faves from the January-June Mini Catalog.  I'm a beach girl, so I love anything with a beachy theme.  The detail on these shells is gorgeous!


I used Blushing Bride for my card base with a layer of Flirty Flamingo on top to bring out the colors in the designer paper.  The DSP looks like watercolor, doesn't it?  I love that!


The seashells were cut from Pearlescent Specialty Paper using this die set:


After cutting, I used the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder to add the dimension:


The embossing folder is easy to see through, so lining up the die-cut is easy.  Lastly, I simply snipped out the sections of the die-cuts that I wanted on my card.



I used Early Espresso to stamp the sentiments both inside & outside.  I like the softness it lends to this card (instead of black ink).  Here are the products I used for this card:
