Crazy About You

Today I’m going to share with you some cards I created with the Crazy About You stamp set (138856/138859/137137). This stamp set has a ton of great sentiments along with 3 bold images and coordinating punches. And you know how I love punches! Great for quick and easy card making.

For this card I’ve teamed the  image up with our new Yellow Citrus Chalk Ink (138093) and our fun new Chalkboard Paper (137786) along with the Best Day Ever Designer Series Paper and Accessory Pack. You can still earn these Sale-a-bration items FREE the next two days until Sale-a-bration ends on March 31st.

This next one uses the Best Day Ever paper and accessories, but this time I used the sentiment from the So You stamp set (137165)

So what do you think? Why not leave me a comment and let me know which is your favorite? I’d love to hear from you.

And as promised yesterday, here are some more cards made with Sale-a-bration products that I’ve created.

This first one uses the A Happy Thing – I love this little pudgy guy.

And the bright cheerful lemon. I’m not sure why I love this lemon so much – it just makes me feel like the sun is shinning.

Blue Mountain Stampers’ Winter Weekend Shoebox Swaps

Today I thought I would share with you some of the swaps the others brought for our Saturday’s Shoebox Swap. There is a wide variety of projects – it was funny since a lot of us chose to do 3-d for a change.

This first project is Janette’s – It hold a note pad and uses the Groovy Love stamp set (134243/134246) along with the Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack (137779) and our Basic Hodgepodge Clips (133765)

And here is Anna’s shoebox it’s a cute little Mini Treat Bag (137547) that we made using the Lullaby Designer Series Paper (133695). So simple and a great new addition to our thinlits dies!

The only word of caution when creating these bags with designer series paper – pay attention to the direction the pattern is going….ask me how I know. LOL

And now for some cards…

Butterfly Thinlits Blue Mountain Stampers Winter Weekend Retreat Shoebox swap (1)

This first card is soft and femine and uses the Butterfly Thinlits Dies (137360) along with the Artisan Embellishment Kit (137909) and a couple of FREE items from the Sale-a-bration brochure – the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (138633) and the sentiment is from the Simply Wonderful stamp set (139125/139128).

Janie used her left over wax paper pieces from a different project to create this wispy feel the butterfly has. Can you see it?

And this last card is Kathleen’s contribution to the shoebox swap. It is made with the Moonlake stamp set (137149/138540) and the Birthday Bash Specialty Designer Series Paper (137783).

Moonlake Blue Mountain Stampers Winter Weekend Retreat Shoebox swap (3)

I’ve added a piece of White Vellum card stock (101856) over the top of the to soften the look of this designer series paper since the pattern was so bold. It quickly solved Kathleen’s problem since she wasn’t completely happy with the card originally for some reason. (One of the great parts of the retreat is sharing creative solutions and ideas! You know how sometimes you’re just not happy with your card? Well Kathleen was experiencing this Friday night when she stamped her swap and just couldn’t figure out why she wasn’t happy – no OCS here, right? LOL I’ve got it too so I know how she was feeling!).
