Paper Pumpkin – Adorning Arrows

Here is my alternate idea for the bag – I wanted a bit more room. So I simply cut down on the top flaps to close the bag flat and make it into a little box.

Dragonfly Dreams & Upcoming Classes

Dragonfly Dreams has been one of the most popular bundles in the Occasions Catalog. And when you see the lovely cards it can make you’ll know why.

This card uses a wonderful watercolor wash background created with our reinkers and Aqua Painter. The simplicity of this card is just wonderful I think.And I fell in love with this background as soon as I saw it – teals and water colored tones are some of my favorite colors so I was thrill when Cara shared with me how she made this background on her swap.  If you would like to see how to create this background too I’ve made a quick video for you.

Swan Lake

Like swans? If so you’re going to like this wonderful little set found in the Occasions Catalog on page 53. This set not only contains charming images, but also has some wonderful sentiments. I was soooo excited when I won this set at On Stage in Atlanta last November after all who can resist the little ducklings? It reminds me of the days when my mother would all take us to Capital Court around Easter to see the decorations and the chicks and ducklings hatch. (If I remember correctly they were in an even bigger decorated egg of all things! Ah, well that was a long time ago…)

So today I’m sharing two cards that I received in my swap using this stamp set. This first card was given to me by Gina. I love the way she used our different patterns from the Brights Collection Paper Stack for this card.

The card swings open to  show you these cute little ducklings and sentiment.

And here is another card also done in Brights, but this time using the Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper (141630).

And here a couple more wonderful cards made with our FREE Sale-a-bration stamp sets.

This first one uses the So Very Much stamp set and the Carried Away Designer Series Paper. Deborah cut the little hot air balloons to add to the corner with the Night of Navy Solid Bakers Twine.

And this card for Lorrie uses the elegant set Delicate Details and also uses the Carried Away Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration choices.

It’s a lot of fun to see how the same product, this time Designer Series paper, can be used so many different ways.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Swan Lake (142974/142977)

Inks: Basic Black Archival Ink (140931) and Old Olive Classic Ink (126953)

Paper: Brights Collection Designer Series Paper Stack (138434), Old Olive (100702) and Whisper White Card Stock (100730)

Accessories: Watercolor Pencils (141709) and Blender Pen (102645)

It’s a Perfect Mix & More

Nothing is better than baking and having that wonderful smell of fresh baked goods in the house. I have such wonderful memories of my Grandmother teaching me how to bake when I was young. I fell in love with the process of creativity immediately and of course who doesn’t love the final out come.  So this set Perfect Mix brings fond memories back of my childhood and time with my own children in the kitchen too.

Want to see some wonderful cards made with this set? Here are two that I received in a swap that have very different styles, but I love them both. This first card is from Lianna and has a clean contemporary style – I love the bright cheerful In colors she used.

And this next card from Catie has more of a vintage feel to it. Lots of layering and do you seen the torn edge on the Booms & Bliss Designer Series paper (141654) and the stitching on the circles? The Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies (145372) make that soooo easy.

I just love the sentiment she showcased.

Got a favorite? Let me know which one is yours.

And would you like to see a few more of the Sale-a-bration cards I received? Here are just a few again today using the Tasty Trucks stamp set that you can earn FREE when you place an order of $50 in product.
