Classic Cloche

Posted on by

If you like to build scenes or like snow globes the Classic Cloche might be something that will peak your interest.

This stamp set gives you the ability not only to build scenes, but also add a 3D effect with our Cloche Shaker Domes too.

Why not check out these lovely cards made with this set? This first card uses the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (155841) as a simple backdrop for the dome and sentiment.

The sentiment is highlighted with the Label Me Fancy Punch (151297) and the Shimmery Crystal Effects (150892) along with a bit of 1 1/2″ Metallic Mesh Ribbon (153550) adds a bit of sparkle to this card. And this next card teams up our Misty Moonlight and Balmy Blue for a lovely musical effect.

Not only does the Merry Melody 3D Embossing Folder (156392) add some texture to the background of this card, but the lovely Wintery 3D Embossing Folder (155433) adds a bit of wintery effect to the dome above the village. How cool is that?

If you like this idea you’ll be happy to know that the dies and shaker domes also work with the fun Sweets & Treats stamp set (156561) found on page 11 of the Mini Catalog adding added value. After all who doesn’t like it when you can use something for more than one use?

Why not stop by my Online store and check out this fun product along with others that are available for your holiday crafting needs?

Highlight on Sale-a-bration’s Delicate Dahlias

Posted on by

Today I thought I would highlight one of the most popular stamp sets from the Sale-a-bration brochure. It is a level 2 product that packs a punch.

Filled with our 2 step images that are done in the DistINKtive style this flower is simply lovely any way you stamp it. Check out these lovely cards made using this set. This first card uses the line images and some simple water coloring to create this soft look.

The background has been dry embossed with the Bark 3D Embossing Folder (155431) to add a bit of texture. And this next card also uses the line image.

Done in bright bold colors inspired by the Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper (155464) and using our Layering Circles Dies (151770) and Gold Shimmer Ribbon (156470) that can be found the Mini Catalog.

How about some 2 step stamping? These next two cards use the 2 step stamping to create these images. This first card uses the Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper (155841) to create a backdrop creating a country feel along with a simple masking technique.

The Bumblebee and it’s Gingham Ribbon (153658) just draw you into this nature inspired card. And this next card was combines Bumblebee and Misty Moonlight. Two colors that are part of our 2020 In Color Collection.

The Designer Series Paper is from the Pansy Petals (155807) pack of paper. I just love the simplicity of this card with the sentiment saying it all.

So what do you think? Love this set as much as I do? If you want this set did you know that you can earn it for free? It’s easy during Sale-a-bration when you place a qualifying order you can choose either a level one or level two product, and you can earn as many of these products as you’d like!

Welcoming Woods

Posted on by

This time of year the outdoors are calling and hiking, camping and spending the day in our North Georgia Mountains becomes extremely popular as the highways heading north are filled with campers, leaf watchers, and those seeking the peace and quiet of a day with nature. The Welcoming Woods stamp set (156550) evokes those kinds of images in my mind and since this set has all occasions sentients and year round options I think you’ll find this set a great one to team up with sets you might already have.

Check out this first card for fall and it’s striking colors.

A Blending Brush (153611) or Sponge Daubers (133773) were used to add color to this lovely image. A easy technique that packs a wallop! And this next card uses the set as a back drop for the Nature’s Beauty (150528) wildlife.

Embossed in White Embossing Powder (155554) it uses the snowflake pattern from the Tidings of Christmas Designer Series Paper (155718) to set the winter scene.

So what do you think? Love the options this stamp set gives you? Why not stop by my Online Store and check out this and all the items from our Mini Catalog?
