I have a new card to share with you. But I wanted to remind you first of the Curvy Celebrations products. The Curvy Christmas stamp set and the Classic Christmas DSP will be going away next week. The Quite Curvy Bundle will be available in the upcoming Mini Catalog.
My favorite of this bundle is the Designer Series Paper. It has Winter and Anytime patterns on the paper. The card I am sharing with you today is using some of that paper.
The Designer Series Paper in the background is from the Classic Christmas DSP! The pattern is in all of the colors of the paper. I think it is a perfect background.
I paired this paper with the upcoming stamp set, Enjoy The Moment. This is not a set I would normally purchase. The images are all seed pods from around the world. They are all a sketch like the one I used today. They are all lovely, just not my normal choice. What sold me on the set was the sentiments! Now I love the entire set of course.
The sentiments are all just “perfect” ones. They are like the one I used today. “Friendship is found in simple things”. I just love that! In our crazy year, it is the simple things that have been the stars, at least for me.
Did you notice the bright green of the sentiment? I stamped it in Mossy Meadow Ink to match the card base. I then decided to give parts of the card some sparkle. I went over the top of the seed pod and the sentiment with Wink Of Stella. Oh My!!! It just gave some shine to the seed pod. But it made the sentiment really stand out. I was thrilled with an unexpected find. I would never have thought it would change the shade of the color and give it such brightness. Woohoo!! Now I want to try all of the colors to see which other ones change like this.
To finish the card, I added the Light Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blend as shading around the stamping. I also added the Mossy Meadow Braided Linen Trim. This trim is a dream to work with. It is the same as the Real Red Braided Trim in the current Mini, but much softer. The Red one is pretty stiff. The final touch was a few of the Elegant Faceted Gems.
As has been the case most of this week, some of the images of upcoming products are not available to me yet. So if my supply list is missing pieces, that is why.
I do have the measurements for you today.
Mossy Meadow card base is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2
Whisper White is 5 1/4 X 4
Classic Christmas DSP is 5 X 3 3/4
Mossy Meadow is 2 3/8 X 3
Whisper White is 2 1/8 X 2 3/4
Thank you for stopping by today. I really appreciate you following my cards. Be safe during this New Year debut!

I have another sneak peek to share. I have shared different stamps from this set previously. Actually I have even shared the DSP before. So it is a “Not totally new Sneak Peek!”
I used the leftover halves of the upcoming Annual Catalog 6X6 Neutrals DSP Pack. The other half, and other sides of the two DSP were used on the donkey card from last week. If you missed that card you can see it HERE
I knew I had left those pieces on my desk for a reason. (And not just because I didn’t put them where I should have!!) I wanted a background that was pretty but did not take away from the single flower. And the Color Family paper packs are wonderful for those type backgrounds.
The single flower is from the Garden Wishes stamp set. It is in the soon to be released Mini Catalog. I did the Marker To Rubber Technique to color this flower. Since it is Red Rubber, the Stampin’ Write Markers are the perfect way to add multiple colors prior to stamping. I use my Stampin’ Blends a lot more than the Stampin’ Write Markers, but I could not do without my markers. They are also great for touching up a color that did not quite stamp full enough.
The dandelion flower, I don’t want to call it a weed and hurt it’s feelings!, is the perfect size for a stand alone focal point. All I did to finish it was add one of the larger Gold Glitter Enamel Dots to the center. I then wrapped the White layer with the matching Bumblebee In Color Ribbon. I failed to say that my main colors are Bumblee and Just Jade. Sorry about that.
I have the supplies listed at the bottom of the page. However, the Garden Wishes stamp set and the Neutrals DSP (2021-2022) are not available for me to pull the pictures. Sorry!!
Thank you for stopping by today. I really do appreciate it and your comments. I hope you have a wonderful day.

Yesterday I mentioned there were two upcoming berry / strawberry stamp sets coming. Today I am sharing the second of the two. This one is in the Upcoming Mini Catalog.
You may recognize the same background Designer Series paper from yesterday’s card. I do love this paper and the bright colors. It is the Sale-A-Bration DSP Berry Delightful.
My Mom loved anything strawberry! So when I saw this stamp set, Sweet Strawberry, in the upcoming Mini Catalog I knew I had to have it. The stamps and sentiments are wonderful. I especially like the matching punch. I believe I failed to mention that!
The punch has the little flower, strawberry, strawberry cap and a leaf. I used it for the strawberry and the cap. The background sprig is a stamp in the set.
I stamped the strawberry, which is a two step stamp, with Cherry Cobbler as the outline and the little seeds. I then filled it in with Real Red. The cap is stamped onto Granny Apple Green cardstock with Shaded Spruce Ink. For the bunch stamp, I stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black and then colored it using Stampin’ Blends.
The sentiment is part of the stamp set as well. I do love a complete stamp set that makes a one set card. I had room after adhering the three strawberries to add the sentiment in that upper right space. I finished the card with some bling. Rhinestones are the centers of the two flowers and also dot the “i” of the Birthday.
I have all of the supplies listed at the bottom of the page. However, the stamp set and DSP are not available as of yet, so I do not have the images for them.
Thank you very much for stopping by today. Please return tomorrow for another new card.

Today I have a card to share that reminds me of my Mom. She loved Everything strawberry especially, but any berry was a favorite! I am thrilled to say that there are not one, but TWO wonderful berry stamp sets on the way. One is in the upcoming Mini Catalog, and the other is in the upcoming Sale-A-Bration catalog. And if that is not enough, there is strawberry / berry DSP as well! Oh My!!!
I am sharing the Sale-A- Bration one with you today. It is titled Berry Blessings. I have used quite a few of the stamps in the set. And I have used the DSP to partner it.
I used the Raspberry stamp today. I stamped the outline with Blackberry Bliss and then the solid inside with Rich Razzleberry. For the leaves, I stamped the outline with Shaded Spruce and the inside with Granny Apple Green. None of these pairings are ones I would have thought to put together! In looking at the colors in the Designer Series Paper, they were all part of the colors. So I thought I would give them a try. Especially the two on the berry work wonderfully! It reminds me of the light and dark on an actual raspberry.
Do you Love that plaid DSP? It is the back side of one of the berry papers in the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper. It seems to make the rest of the card just Pop! My card base is Blackberry Bliss and the background for the stamped images and the sentiment are Rich Razzleberry. Another mix of the two colors.
I finished this card with some Rhinestones for some bling. I have a couple on a few of the berries and one by the sentiment.
I hope this card gets you excited about the upcoming Sale-A-Bration! The Berry Blessings stamp set plus the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper are paired as one of the $100.00 sets. This means that if you place an order for at least $100.00, you can choose this bundle as your SAB Reward. It is definitely a favorite of mine!!
Please come back tomorrow for another Berry project. I do not have the photos of the stamp set or DSP from today. I do have the rest of the items I used int he supply list at the bottom of the post.
Reminder: The time to choose the Curvy Christmas and the Classic Christmas Designer Series paper is almost over. They will not be available in the upcoming Mini Catalog. They will be gone for good. The Quite Curvy Bundle will be available though.

Today I am taking a short break from Christmas cards and projects. I have received a couple of orders of upcoming products, including Sale-A-Bration items. So I am sharing some of that with you today.
I love this little donkey!! He is sitting there looking like I feel. I have been busy for the last couple of weeks, and us old retired people are not supposed to be that busy!
The little guy is from the Darling Donkeys Sale-A-Bration stamp set. That means he and his friends can be yours FREE with a $50.00 purchase once the new catalog and SAB go live on January 5th.
I am also showcasing some of the new Designer Series Paper that will be available for anyone who joins during Sale-A-Bration! It is a real Sneak Peek of the next Annual Catalog in May. So a long way off sneak peek.
For this layout, I cut my layers with the Pretty Peacock at 5 1/4 X 4, and then both sheets of DSP to 5 X 3 3/4. I then placed the opposite corners of the DSP on the paper trimmer cutting line and sliced it in half. Now I have two extra pieces to make another card like this.
Thank you for stopping by today. Please come back tomorrow for another new project.
