Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Sneak Peek

Good morning! I enjoyed attending the Stampin’ Up! OnStage@Home event this past weekend. Even though it was virtual this year, it was fun to play with some new products and it was informative too! We got to see the new products from the upcoming January – June 2021 Mini Catalog and Sale-A-Bration that all starts on January 5, 2021. So today I am giving you a sneak peek by sharing the Stamp & Share projects I made during OnStage with the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden bundle and the beautiful Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. You can find the currently available supplies used to create these cards at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.

This first card uses the Misty Moonlight shades of the beautiful Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ designer series paper (available Jan 5, 2021). I stamped the small dragonflies from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden cling stamp set (available Jan 5, 2021) on one side of a Whisper White panel using Bumblebee ink and then I randomly stamped the large dragonflies in Misty Moonlight ink. I stamped the wings in Bumblebee ink on the large dragonflies and adhered the striped Dandy Garden DSP (available Jan 5, 2021) strip across the panel. I adhered the panel to the front of a Misty Moonlight card base and adhered the two vertical strips of Dandy Garden DSP (available Jan 5, 2021). I stamped the sentiment in Misty Moonlight ink and the dragonfly wings in Bumblebee ink on a small Bumblebee panel. I wrapped it in Misty Moonlight/Silver/White twine and made a bow and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I used the Dragonflies punch (available Jan 5, 2021) to punch a Misty Moonlight dragonfly from the Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ DSP (available Jan 5, 2021). I love how the the two Misty Moonlight DSP strips look like a mat for the Bumblebee panel!

On the second card, I stamped the little dragonflies from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set (available Jan 5, 2021) in Mossy Meadow ink in a diagonal on the front of the Mossy Meadow card base. I adhered a Bumblebee panel and adhered the Bumblebee and Mossy Meadow strips of Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ DSP (available Jan 5, 2021) on top of the panel. I stamped the large dragonflies with Bumblebee ink and sentiment with Mossy Meadow ink on a Whisper White panel and popped it on the card front with dimensionals. I stamped another large dragonfly in Bumblebee ink on Whisper White and punched it out and popped it on the panel with dimensionals. I finished the card front with three of the cutest ladybug trinkets (available Jan 5, 2021).

On the final card I stamped the beautiful wildflowers and sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a Smoky Slate panel. I adhered three square panels of Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ DSP (available Jan 5, 2021) to the side and wrapped the panel with Mossy Meadow braided linen trim (available Jan 5, 2021) and made a bow. I punched three small dragonflies from Whisper White, adhered them to the panel and popped the panel on the front of a Blackberry Bliss card base with dimensionals. I finished the card front with three rhinestone jewels.

I finished the inside of each card by stamping images from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set to coordinate with the card fronts and trimming the bottom of the Whisper White panels with the Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ DSP.

The card designs we made during OnStage were very different from my usual style, but I thought they were really pretty and I want to try out some of these sketches with current products for Christmas Cards! And isn’t the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp bundle awesome! Be sure to look for these products out when the new January – June 2021 Mini Catalog launches on January 5, 2021.

Here are some more goodies that we got for OnStage – a great bag, cute notebooks, pen & stickers and another great sneak peek stamp set. I just love being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator! Contact me if you think you might be interested in joining up, and I’ll be happy to tell you more!

Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden Friendship Card

Good Morning! Today I want to share a sneak peek of a bundle from the upcoming January – June 2021 Mini Catalog. You see, in a week and a half, the Stampin’ Up! Annual Meeting is going to start – OnStage! But due to the pandemic, this year’s event will be virtual – OnStage@Home! Last year was the first time I went and it was so much fun, and I think that it will still be fun, even virtual. Since I signed up to attend, I was able to purchase the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set early and so I can give you can get a sneak peek of these pretty upcoming products. You can find the list of supplies supplies of currently available products I used to create this card at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used. The Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set and coordinating products will be available when the new Mini Catalog releases on January 4, 2021. Here’s my sneak peek:

I embossed a panel of Bumblebee card stock with the Ornate Floral 3D embossing folder and adhered it to the front of a Bumblebee card base. One of the new designer series paper packs in the upcoming catalog is called Dandy Garden (available Jan 4, 2021) and it’s filled with pretty dandelion florals like this one in Mossy Meadow and Bumblebee. So I adhered it to a Basic Black mat and popped it on the card front with dimensionals.

Another panel of the Dandy Garden 6″ x 6″ designer series paper pack (available Jan 4, 2021) has lots of dragonflies that fit the Dragonfly punch that is also coming in on January 4th. So I punched a bunch of dragonflies from the paper and adhered them to the card front with liquid glue. Since one of my dragonflies is blue, I wrapped a length of Misty Moonlight ribbon around the card front and made a bow.

I stamped one of the pretty sentiments from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set (available Jan 4, 2021) in Misty Moonlight ink on a strip of Whisper White. I cut it out with one of the stitched dies from the Ornate Frames Dies and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue. I finished it with one of the cute ladybug embellishments (available Jan 4, 2021).

For the inside of the card, I stamped the dragonflies from the Stampin’ Up! Dragonfly Garden stamp set (available Jan 4, 2021) in Misty Moonlight ink in the corners of a Whisper White panel. I trimmed the bottom with a strip of the Dandy Garden DSP (available Jan 4, 2021) and adhered it to a Basic Black mat and then to the inside of the card.

Aren’t these new products cute? They will be available on January 4, 2021 when the new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog releases – a nice thing to look forward to after Christmas!
