Mar 21, 2018 | 2018 Occasions Catalog, 2018 Sale-A-Bration, Big Shot, Cards, Easter |
Easter is approaching so quickly! I really haven’t done any creating for it at all. I normally have my extended family over and I make them handmade invitations but this year it snuck up on me and I didn’t get any made in time – so I had to do an evite – I’m so sad.
I did create this card for my Stamp Club this month. I decided to use the Garden Girl stamp set with the cute little bunny. And the Springtime Foils Designer Series Specialty Paper from Sale-A-Bration. Sale-A-Bration is coming to and end – it will be here before we know it right there with Easter!
The Springtime Foils Specialty Paper is one of the Free Choices during Sale-A-Bration – you just need a $50 order and you can get the full pack. I used the stripes for my card and this paper works so beautifully with our Stampin’ Blends. I used the Pink Pirouette Stampin’ Blends to color in the stripes in between the silver printed stripes. It’s subtle but pretty. It would be fun to do bright colored stripes – and even cut the paper into egg shapes.
The bunny is stamped with Memento Black ink on Whisper White card stock – I did some coloring with my Smoky Slate Blends and cut him out. The fence is stamped in Crumb Cake ink and colored in with the Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. Then add the grass in Wild Wasabi and die cut with a Stitched Circle. Behind it is a Wild Wasabi scalloped circle cut from the Layering Circles Frameltis dies.
I tied some Silver Bakers Twine around the foil layer before adhering it with Stampin’ Dimensionals to the front of my card. The small Happy Easter is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.
I “hop” you enjoyed this card. Thanks for stopping by.
Mar 14, 2018 | 2018 Occasions Catalog, 2018 Sale-A-Bration, Boxes, Tags |
There are less than three weeks left of Sale-a-Bration. Did you already get your favorite items for Free? One of the Level 1 choice is the beautiful Lots of Lavender stamp set. It reminds me of the Lavender farm that we visited last summer. We were on San Juan Island in Washington, State.
For today’s project though I decided to use Berry Burst for the flowers and I think they came out pretty too.
I created a box out of Berry Burst card stock added the Berry Burst Metallic Edged Ribbon and finished with a tag. Inside the box I used the Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie – Crinkle-cut shredded paper that perfectly matches my box.
The outline image is stamped in Black, the flowers in Berry Burst, the leaves in Old Olive and the ribbon in Soft Sky. I added Wink of Stella over the flowers but you can’t really see it in the photo.
I also used the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies to cut the Celebrate out of Silver Foil. The dies are a Level 2 Sale-A-Bration choice. It’s tied on with some Soft Sky Baker’s Twine.
Sale-A-Bration ends on March 31st so make sure you do your shopping before then!
Thanks for stopping by today.
Mar 12, 2018 | 2018 Occasions Catalog, Birthday, Cards |
Have you noticed the Birthday Wit stamp set in the Occasions catalog? It’s on page 9. Since its basically all words it doesn’t stand out very well. It is a fun set to have to make some birthday cards.
For this card I used the Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper. It has gold foil accents. And painted brushstroke patterns. Some of the patterns are a bit bright for me so on this card I used the large sentiment from the Birthday Wit stamp set. I actually stamped it multiple times in a variety of colors – Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo, Powder Pink and Rich Razzleberry. The main panel on the card was stamped with Soft Suede ink. and then I cut out all the block words and covered them with the colored words. This is another one of those short front cards where you can see the designer paper on both side. I used the White cotton ribbon on this one. And finished with some Gold Metallic dots.
I think it turned out to be a fun card!
There are only 3 more weeks of Sale-A-Bration left – if you haven’t placed an order to get your free product choices be sure to do it soon. There are some great options and once they are gone – they are gone. Now there are two things that will carry over into our new catalog – the Celebrate You Thinlits and the Basket Weave Embossing Folder. But they won’t be free you’ll have to pay for them then and the coordinating stamp sets won’t be available after March 31st.
Thanks for stopping by.
