The January-June 2021 Mini Catalog is coming to an end! I like to call it the Spring Mini Catalog! It’s always a joy to start ordering from the spring catalog right after the holidays to see and use fresh new products to start the new year! But as all good things must come to an end, this catalog’s last day will be tomorrow, Wednesday, June 30. It’s the last day to order from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog!! Some of the products carried over to the new Annual Catalog and some products are already sold out. If a product doesn’t come up in the Online Store, then it probably is sold out. If you search for a product and it doesn’t come up, put the item number in the search box, just in case the search terms aren’t working, or use the drop-down list on the left of the store website under Shop Products.
The January–June 2021 Mini Catalog will be retiring soon! It’s always bittersweet to see a classic Stampin’ Up! catalog take a trip to retirement. But, we always look forward to all the new products on their way! (The Holiday Catalog is up next!)
With every retiring catalog comes a spectacular sale: the Last Chance Products promotion! With this sale, you can stock up on your favorite products before they’re gone for good. Save up to 50% on essential craft supplies starting today, June 1st!

Today is maybe a bigger day for stampers than New Year’s Day because Stampin’ Up!’s biggest promotion of the year begins, Sale-A-Bration 2021, as well as the release of the new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog with great new products in it!

New Mini Catalog Live Today!
The January-June 2021 Mini Catalog is ready for ordering today! You will find fresh, new products for spring. If you have not received your catalog yet from me if you are a regular customer of mine, I still hope it will come soon now that the holidays are over…but remember, you can view it online as well as just viewing the products in the Online Store.
If you are new and interested in purchasing Stampin’ Up! products, I would be happy to be your Demonstrator and send you the catalogs if you would like. Just email me at Karen@Karenstamps.com and send me your contact information.
And one more thing…..new Basic White Cardstock and other products available today! Remember, our Whisper White line was no longer being produced so Stampin’ Up! found an acceptable substitute called Basic White. Just search in the Online Store for Basic White to see all the products!
And remember, for every $50 you spend with Stampin’ Up!, you will earn a FREE Sale-A-Bration product! So when you put those two things together, what can be a better way to start off a New Year!!
I’m finally getting a chance to play with some new things in the upcoming January – June 2021 Mini Catalog, coming January 5th and the result was this Fine Art Floral Thinking of You Card.
As you can imagine, this Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper is gorgeous! When you get your catalog or look at it online next week, look at the back cover because you will see how the artists created the designs for this paper. One side of every sheet is a floral design and the other side is a more generic, plainer watercolor washed design.
And when you look at the back of the designer paper package, you will be amazed at how many coordinating colors go with this paper! I think there were twelve colors plus white. I always write all the colors with a marker on the back cardboard so I can read them easier than trying to squint and read Stampin’ Up!’s tiny print!
The card base is Flirty Flamingo. I cut a strip of the designer paper thinking I would put it on the side of the card, but as I turned over the floral side, I really liked the other side, too, and ended up with this design I adhered two strips of the “other side” to the sides of the card but leaving 1/4″ of Flirty Flamingo showing, and then adhered the floral side over the top and down the middle. That panel is 2 1/4″ wide. Not what I had planned at all, but it’s what it turned out to be!
For the greeting, I sort of copied a sample in the catalog. I die-cut only the word “just” from a die in the Floral Gallery Dies. The die says “just want to say” but I just laid the Merry Merlot Cardstock over the word “just” and die cut that. Don’t forget to save the dot over the J!
I die cut the label for the greeting from the Tasteful Labels Dies in the Annual Catalog. Then I stamped the “thinking of you” in the new Art Gallery Stamp Set on the label in Merry Merlot ink but did not ink up the “I’m”. I got lucky and did not mess it up! Then the die-cut word “just” is adhered to the label also. I popped this greeting up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. You can purchase the Art Gallery Stamp Set and the Floral Gallery Dies in the Art Gallery Bundle and save 10%.
I thought I was finished and was ready to photograph the card but I thought it still needed “something”. Of course that something was a little bling from the Champagne Rhinestone Jewels.
Once I had the design figured out, it was a pretty easy card to make. This is a beautiful suite that you will be attracted to when you see the new catalog!
The new January-June 2021 Mini Catalog starts Tuesday, January 5th….next week!! That will also be the first day of the biggest promotion of the year, Sale-A-Bration! What a week to look forward to!
If you want to make a quick and easy card, make something like this Dandy Garden Thank You Card. This designer paper is one that is coming in January 2021 in the Spring Mini Catalog that is bright and colorful and easy to use. One side of the sheets has colorful plants and dragonflies and the other side has generic patterns that are also fun to use with the nature patterns or on their own.
For something bright and different, I used Calypso Coral as the card base. It IS one of the coordinating colors for this designer paper, but it might not be your first choice seeing all the greenery in the papers. But on this paper, some of the dragonflies were Calypso Coral so I wanted to showcase that color. I think it might have been pretty, too, to use Blackberry Bliss cardstock as a layer under the designer paper.
The greeting is stamped in Calypso Coral Ink and is from the Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set. It is cut out with one of the Ornate Frames Dies. Then the greeting is layered over a piece of Calypso Coral punched with the Tailored Tag Punch. I popped that up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
For a little bit more pizzazz, I added some Holiday Rhinestone Jewels on the card front in the yellowish color which might be named Pumpkin Pie!
That’s how easy this card is! Make a card base. Layer on a piece of designer paper. Stamp a greeting and layer it on another piece if you like. Add some jewels or sequins for a bit of bling! You could do this with any designer paper for any occasion. If you wanted to step it up, you could add a bit of ribbon or some jewels on the greeting itself.
Remember, these new products will be available in January in the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog along with two months of Sale-A-Bration! If you need an easy card, use this card design like I did on this Dandy Garden Thank You Card.
