Hello Sunshine

Today’s cards were some that I received in swaps and are created using  products that are limited time Sale-a-bration items. I think these two stamp sets are a wonderful addition to any stampers collection since their sentiments cover all kinds of occasions.

These first two cards are created with the Hello stamp set (141240/141243). Joanne gave me this bright and cheerful Hello card. It also uses our Sale-a-bration Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper (141021) which is one of the three products only available until February 15th.

And this card uses our yummy Mint Macaron In Color along with Blackberry Bliss.

I love the way that Kate tucked the Silver Metallic Thread (138402) behind the layered Flower Medallion (137417) and Pansy Punches (130698). And can you see the embellishment that adds a bit of shine to the center of the flower? It’s one of our Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Stickers (137856).

And here are some samples using the Sky Is the Limit stamp set (141282/141349). This first one Roxie designed for Valentine’s Day. It uses the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack (140548).

And another from Tanisha. I love the quick and easy clouds she sponged for the background.

And these next two use the Sale-a-bration Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper (141021).

And finally this card from Joanne  She used one of my favorite Designer Series Paper Stacks from the Occasions Catalog, Going Places (140581).  I just love the White Vellum cardstock (101856) propeller and Neutrals Collection Candy Dots (130934) she added to it.

Something so small – just makes this a special little card.

Soft & Subtle Petite Petals

Yesterday I shared the wine charms I made for my Team Winter Retreat and today I’m sharing some of the Shoebox Swap items – Check out these great projects that we made.

This first card was Cindy’s she loves the Subtle Collection of colors and this card defiantly showcases that.

Petite Petals BMS Winter Weekend Shoebox Swap 2016

Cindy used the Petite Petals (133152/133155) and Pictorgram Punches stamp set (134261/134264) to create a variety of flowers. She added a bit of layering to create interest and some Stampin’ Dimensionals to add more interest and depth.

The sentiment she used is from our Cottage Greetings stamp set (138940/139962).

Anna used one of my favorite Sale-a-bration stamp sets – Sky is the Limit (141282/141349) and the World Traveler Embossing Folder (138289).

Sky is the Limit BMS Winter Weekend Shoebox Swap 2016

Anna  also chose Soft Sky from our  Subtles Collection.

This last item is a 3d item and Janette loves creating gift items just like I do!

Moments Like These Note Pad BMS Winter Weekend Shoebox Swap 2016

Cute right? It holds a little note pad. Janette used our Project Life Moments Like These (138740) and the Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack (140567) and Bermuda Bay 1/8″ Stitched Ribbon (140569) along with the too cute Bow Paper Clips (140559) that are found in the Occasions Catalog.

Sorry about the lighting, I was having problems today with photos since we are expecting a winter weather event here in North Georgia and it is really over cast.

The Sky’s the Limit during Sale-a-bration!

I love this stamp set with it’s masculine plane image – and with the sentiments included it will be a fun one to use for all kinds of occasions so it was a natural choice for one of our projects during my Sneak Peek event.

Sky is the Limit Occasions Sneak Peek Event 2016

When I first saw this set this little plane it reminded me of a childhood memory – my step father taking flying lessons. That always seemed like such an adventuresome thing to do! And to hear him talk there was a lot more to it than I thought at that age. All those numbers and gauges!  I was so impressed when he finally flew solo in his late 50’s! Paul’s example also taught me that it’s never to late to reach for your dreams.

The Sky is the Limit and the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series Paper are found in our Sale-a-bration brochure AND did you know that this year some of our Sale-a-bration choices are only available until February 15th? Look on pages 16 – 19 you’ll find a Blackberry Bliss band on the side of the page that say’s Limited-Time Products! Only available through February 15, 2016. So if this is one of your choices you won’t want to delay and miss out on this versatile stamp set and Designer Series Paper.

The Sky Is the Limit

The Sky is the Limit during Sale-a-brations and this set was my first choice when I earned a Sale-a-bration choice with my purchase. I just love the masculine image and font used for the sentiments! And since it is only available until February 15th I didn’t want to miss out!

Sky is the limit

So of course it was my first choice when I needed a Graduation card for my husband’s nephew who recently graduated with his nursing degree. We’re extremely proud of him and so I wanted to make something extra special.

I stamped the World Map in Crumb Cake on top of the Perfectly Artistic Designer Series paper, to give it more of a subtle feel and sponged the outer edges of the airplane piece too to make it feel more antiqued.

I really like the way it turned out and hope he likes it too. What do you think?
