Sale-a-bration Ends Today

It’s Bloomin’ Marvelous (item 129651/129654) – that’s what these cards are that I received during my Leadership swaps. Isn’t it great that this set coordinates with our NEW Bitty Butterfly Punch (item 129406) from the Spring Catalog?

And I love the color combination that was used for this card.

Leadership Swap No Name 5

Patterned Occasions (item 129621/129624) is such a cute stamp set. You can use the images with or without the sentiments. Here is a great card that anyone would love to get any time of year. You could even tuck a little gift card or invitation for coffee inside for a friend.

Wonderful Birthday Wishes

Yesterday was my birthday and I was so blessed by all the birthday wishes sent my way.  I have such talented stamping buddies and friends that I wanted to share with you some of the cards that I received.

Thank you everyone for thinking about me and sending me such wonderful hand crafted cards.

Aren’t they all great?

Sycamore Street

I love the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper that you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration and so I thought I would show the note pads that my friend Cindy brought to our last Team Meeting for her swap.

Feel Goods Clipboards Cindys  March swap

Don’t you love the sentiment set that she used to stamp on the note pads? Feel Goods (item 129681/129684) is well named since when I see or use these sentiments I just feel – well good.

And here are a couple of cards from my Leadership swaps that also use the Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper. This first one uses the Henry Says stamp set (item 128090/128093) from the Spring Catalog.

And this last card uses the Oh, Hello stamp set (item 130730/130733) and one of my favorite accessories, the Paper Doilies (item 129399).

I’m Feeling Sentimental about Bloomin’ Marvelous

Here are two more cards I wanted to share with you that my Team members gave me during our swap this month. I think they are both such fantastic cards that I didn’t want to not share them with you before the end of today.

This first card Cindy made and in addition to the Feeling Sentimental stamp set (item 1296237/129630) it uses our Natural Composition Specialty Designer Series Paper (item 126917). I love the richness and vintage feel of this card, don’t you?

Feeling Sentimental Team swap Cindy March 2013

And did you know that since the Natural Composition DSP has a raised pattern on it you can use it to create any color paper you’d like simply by adding classic ink with a sponge? Cindy also used our Apothecary Accents Framelits (item 127003) to create this great negative image where she placed her sentiment. How cool is that?

Tamara’s swap uses the Bloomin’ Marvelous stamp set (item 129651/129654) and just makes smile and think of spring. I love the colors she chose to go with the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper (item 125409)  she used across the bottom.

Feeling Sentimental

Can you believe there are just a few more days until Sale-a-bration ends? You only have until Friday, March 22nd to earn your FREE items. As we wrap up Sale-a-bration  I thought I would show you some projects made with one of my favorite stamp sets that you can earn during Sale-a-bration, the Feeling Sentimental Stamp Set (item 129627/129630).

This first card is one I made during a challenge with my demo friends. It’s a vertical z fold card and I love the way it turned out. Did you notice how I used the Basic Designer Button (item 129325) – I thought it looked a bit like a coin.

Feeling Sentimental zfold card

Here is a great card that I made during my shoebox swap at Leadership. I love the colors and am really going to miss this year’s Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper, Sycamore Street (item 127540).

And here is a card that I received in a Leadership swap from Barbara. It uses the Honeycomb Embossing Folder (item 129378) in the background. I really like the feeling of texture this card has.

And finally another favorite of mine from the Leadership shoebox swap. If you attended my Sale-a-bration Celebration event you were able to make one of these for yourself. I love the way this card uses the Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper (item 126896). It’s not just for Christmas as you can see.

Spring Sampler Treat Box Tutorial

I made this cute little treat box using the Spring Sampler Stamp Set (item 125510/125512). I knew when I saw this set in the Spring Catalog I just had to have it – it’s so me. I could picture making quick and easy treats for all kinds of occasions.

Spring Sampler Treat boxI think the images in the Spring Sampler Stamp Set are just too cute! How about you?

Here is the Treat Box we made as a project during my March Blue Mountain Stampers meeting. We had a lot of fun thinking of different things (mostly chocolate) that we could put in the box. This time  we filled them with these yummy eggs (They come in all kinds of flavors and remind me of those I got as a child.) Shhh… don’t tell my family. They’ll be finding theirs in their rooms Easter morning. I think my hubby will love the cookie dough egg I picked out for him!

Spring Sampler Box with Chocolate

We had so much fun making these quick and easy Treat boxes I thought you’d enjoy making them too for your friends and family. So why not check out my new video below – Spring Sampler Treat Box.
