I loved sharing mini catalog sneak peeks during the my 12 Days of Christmas daily live videos! Today's projects are cards that I shared during that series. In this video, I combind the Lovely Layers Vellum with the Enjoy the Journey Suite from the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog.
I love this clean and simple layout of this first card, but I think I prefer it without the vellum. I love the way the vellum softens the designer, but I like the crispness of the card without vellum. Leave a comment and let me know what you think!
This card embraces the same color combination as the first card. I love Starry Sky and Orchid Oasis with Fresh Freesia!

Who's the black sheep in your family? I used the masking technique on this card to create a whole flock of sheep during the On the Farm stamp set from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog.
Have you done the masking technique? Start by stamping the image on the cardstock. Then stamp again on the masking paper. Cut out the masking paper and then place the temporary sticky image over the original stamped image. When you stamp a second image, it will look like it is layered behind the first one. Use this technique to created a stamped grouping -- or depth and dimension like adding leaves behind flowers.
Watch the replay of my 12 Days of Christmas video to see this technique in action and learn how to use the masking paper to create this card -- plus a bonus project using the masking paper:

Sale-a-Bration is almost over! There's only one day left to pick out all of your favorite free gifts before this annual promotion ends. That's right -- Sale-a-Bration won't be back until next year! Now is the time to stock up on adhesive, cardstock, and a pre-paid Paper Pumpkin to maximize your freebies!
One of my favorite Sale-a-Bration gift options (added in February) is the Enjoy the Journey Designer Paper! This brand new paper from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog has some beautiful patterns for sunset and outdoor-themed cards, but the "B" side patterns are also bright and versatile and pair well with any stamp set! Here are three cards that I made to feature this paper!
The first one I CASEd from a sample in the Mini Catalog.
I turned to a favorite layout for this Adorable Owls card! It's a great way to show off coordinating designer paper patterns! Each strip is 1-1/2" x 5", with the center strip being cut off at the top.
The Deckled Rectangle Dies are the perfect texture for this watercolor card featuring the In the Country and Sending Support Sale-a-Bration stamp sets. These are both exclusive stamp sets that will no longer be available after Sale-a-Bration.
Watch the replay of Thursday Night Stamp Therapy to see me create all three of these cards using the Enjoy the Journey Designer Paper.

Do you tune in for Sunday Stamping with Susan & Julie? It's a weekly video series where Mom and I feature the same Stampin' Up! products to create projects to share you with! Every other month, we do a "Stamp Along" video in which we invite you to prepare you own supplies at home and stamp with us to create two cards.
In this week's Sunday Stamp Along video, Mom and I both featured the Stampin' Up! Adorable Owls stamp set -- a set that you can get for FREE for a few more days until Sale-a-Bration ends. See Adorable Owls Projects. I paired this Sale-a-Bration favorite with the Enjoy the Journey Designer Paper. (This is an newer gift option added at the beginning of February that you can also purchase from the Jan-Apr 2023 Mini Catalog.) I love the versatile, bright patterns! Here are the cards that I designed with my Stamp Along card layout:
I tried different designer paper patterns and two different orientations. Leave a comment and let me know which ones you prefer!
