Stampin' Creative Global Blog Hop: Fine Art Floral Cards

Welcome to the Stampin’ Creative Global Blog Hop! Currently you are visiting Julie Davison from the middle of the United States (Central Illinois to be exact!). This month, my friends from around the world and I are sharing projects with the theme of "New Beginnings". When I think about new beginnings, I remember when I first joined as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator almost 19 years ago.

Life was different 19 years ago. I was a newlywed with no kids yet and I worked full time. I had just started stamping about six months before that and was still building a collection of basic supplies. I joined for the discount and never dreamed that my budding passion for papercrafting would become a full blown business.

Whether you want to save a little money on your favorite papercrafting products -- or make a little money holding events for your stamping friends -- now is a the perfect time for "new beginnings"! During Sale-a-Bration, new demonstrators who get the $99 Starter Kit get a free gift -- FIVE free packs of designer paper featuring Stampin' Up!'s gorgeous core color families. Learn More about Joining My Team

I am so excited to welcome so many new Ju-bilant Stampers to my stampin' family in January and to all of them, I "just want to say" Congratulations and welcome! Cheers to new beginnings and creative journeys!

Today's cards feature the Fine Art Floral suite from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog. This versatile collection features rich textures, lovely florals, gold leafing, and more that all work together for a fine art experience that is sure to yield beautiful and elegant results. The Fine Art Floral designer series paper was created from real, hand-painted canvases! I die cut the sentiment from one piece for the second card and then covered it with the coordinating Golden Garden Designer Acetate. Did you notice how the gold design matches up with the floral design on the designer paper? It's exquisite! 

That's all from me today! Thank you for visiting! For now, it's time to carry on with the blog hop and see what other amazing projects my Stampin' friends from around the world have created to celebrate "New Beginnings"!

Fine Art Floral Suite Sneak Peek + VIDEO

All demonstrators were able to pre-order from the new January-June Mini Catalog on December 1st. My order arrived on Friday, but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. I ordered many new stamp sets as well as all of the designer paper, ribbon, and embellishments!

Here is a card that I made with my Pre-Pre-Order after On Stage. I used many item products from the Fine Art Floral Suite -- the new "cover girl" of the mini catalog.

Not a demonstrator yet? If you sign up in December and get the $99 Starter Kit, you can choose SNEAK PEEK products in your Starter Kit! Join Now

Check out this video for more project ideas using new mini catalog sneak peeks and stay tuned for my second video later this week once I have a chance to make some cards with my second order!

I have shared this card for Kylie Bertucci's December International Highlights. This month's theme is thank you and I will be sending this card to one of my customers who placed an order in my Online Store in November! Check out the other cards in this month's International Highlights Gallery here and cast a vote for your favorites (hopefully including mine)!

VIDEO: Peekaboo Window Card with Fabulous Foil

I am so happy with the way this card turned out! This is the third card in my Stamp of the Month Club card kit for June. The bright color combination is perfect for summer: Bermuda Bay, Melon Mambo, and Lemon Lime Twist. But my favorite thing about this a card is the peek-a-boo window. I used a piece of the Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate to bridge the two pieces of the Bermuda Bay cardstock so you can see the stamped border on the inside. Check out my video tutorial below to learn how to make this fun fold card!

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of this video tutorial!

Lemon Zest Catalog CASE

One of my favorite things about a new catalog is the hundreds of new project ideas! Whenever I need some inspiration, I look through the catalog and flag my favorite ideas to copy. I copied this card from page 90 of the new Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog for the Summer Love card class I held earlier this year. Do you copy ideas from the catalog too? Leave me a comment and let me know!

I made a couple little changes from the original design. I added another layer of cardstock, used fewer leaves, and changed from two lemons to a lemon and a lemon slice.

I love the inside greeting choices in this stamp set! "If life gives you lemons..."

• "Chuck them right back"
• "Squeeze it for all it's worth"
• "Live it with zest"
