Hi on this second day of Sale-A-Bration ! Today’s card features the Corner Bouquet Sale-A-bration set as well as the Many Messages Bundle with it’s greeting full of love and laughter!

I coloured that lovely image directly on the stamp with an assortment of Stampin’ Write Markers from both the Brights and Subtles collections.

Now, let me tell you about the Many Messages Bundle(156272) – it rocks! It is full of greetings and they are all on one stamp so you can layer the die over top and cut them all out at the same time! I Love it!

To a brand new(and better) new year! I must say that 2020 has been a challenge for us all but better times are coming! Especially with brand new products coming in January. Today’s card uses some of those new products!

Can you use two different colours of Embossing powder on the same image? Yes you can. I started with the White Emboss powder for the main flower, heated it with the Heat Tool and then stamped the accent image over top, added Silver Emboss powder and heated it again. The leaves were done on Silver Foil with White Emboss powder for the accent.

I went with black, white and silver to play along with The Paper Players challenge and love the way it all went together!

Here’s the partial list of products used. I can’t show you the new stamp sets yet but am very sure that you’re going to Love them!

There’s nothing like a pretty card that sends happy thoughts these days and today’s card does just that!

Besides being full of happy thoughts, this card features quite a few brand new products coming your way starting on January 5, 2021!

When you get your January – June 2021 catalogue, make sure to check out the Fine Art Floral Suite to see these products first hand! One thing I’d like to point out is the gold on the flower, it was done with the Gold Leafing and Heat & Stock Powder that can be found in page 33!

I enjoy attending Cynthia’s card and scrapbook classes. Her studio is comfortable and bright. I really like the colour combinations she uses. She is very organized and does the prep work allowing you to concentrate on the techniques. She is very flexible, even if you want to make some changes to make the project “your own”. I highly recommend Cynthia as a demonstrator!

~~~Clara~~~

I really enjoy Cynthia’s creative skills and look forward to going to her classes and workshops. Cynthia always has fun and inspirational project ideas. She is always ready to lend a hand and help you where needed, if she doesn’t have an answer for you, she will do her best to find one ASAP. I would go to any one of her classes or workshops anytime for years to come.

~~~Connie~~~

Having Cynthia as my upline has been a very pleasant experience for me. She is always available to answer my questions and is very knowledgeable about Stampin’ Up products. I have attended her classes and they are very professional and well organized. I am always excited to share the projects she demonstrates with my customers after attending her classes. She puts a lot of thought and effort into planning her classes. I am very fortunate to have met Cynthia, and am looking forward to learning from her for many years to come. Thanks Cynthia....you are the best!!

~~~Leona~~~

Cynthia’s classes are set up very thorough and professional. I learn something new at every class and it is always a fun night out. Cynthia gives a lot of inspiration in everything she does and keeps us looking at her blog. Cynthia knows her product very well and keeps us all informed on new products and sales!
