Happy Friday, friends!

Here is a sweet card I made with the Free Stampin’ UP! Sale-a-bration 2021 Delicate Dahlias.

I used Bumblebee, Garden Green, and Early Espresso for my color palette…fall is here! I popped on a few of last year’s In Color embellishments to give it a little bling.

A little more dahlia on the inside:)

Sale-a-bration 2021 runs until the end of September. Make the most of a purchase on your wish list by getting a free item!

I tried a new technique called Floating Strips. I used the Stampin’ UP! Stitched Rectangle Dies to make some Trees with sentiments from the Stampin’ UP! A Wish for Everything stamp set.

Super cool and easy to boot! Take a look at my video.

PLEASE NOTE:

They are called “Stitched Rectangle Dies” not Right Triangle Dies- that was the stamp set!

I have a traditional red and green card using the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper.

And then I used some whimsical pinks and light greens with silver accents with the Whimsy and Wonder Designer Series Paper.

A little DSP on the inside finishes off the card:)

I love to do a non-traditional colored Christmas card with colors like pink, mint green, purple and shades of blue. So here is this year’s Flirty Flamingo and Coastal Cabana card using the Stampin’ UP! Words of Cheer Bundle.

Mixy-match the colors for a cheery Christmas card! My tip is to cut a “happy” and a “foliage” die out of the 4″ x 5-1/4″ colored border because you are going to cover it with the stamped 3-3/4″ x 5″ white panel. Do this on two color panels, and you end up with two cards. I had to lighten up this photo so the colors are a little woozy…

There is more to this Stampin’ UP! Words of Cheer Bundle…
