Highlight on Sale-a-bration & Feels like Home

Did you know that there are just 3 weeks left of Sale-a-bration? Yep, and that means you have just 3 weeks left to earn some wonderful FREE products and the additional benefits of hosting or joining too. So for the next 4 days I’ll be highlighting one of our Sale-a-bration stamp sets.

Today I’ll be sharing some wonderful cards using the Feels Like Home Stamp set (156607). This stamp set is FREE when you place an order with $50 or more in product. This set contains some wonderful line art images that are wonderful all by themselves, making it so each to create quick and easy cards.

And of course the sentiments are lovely and use a wonderful font too. Today’s I’ll be sharing this fun fold with you using Evening Evergreen and Soft Suede.

I just love the way this card opens

and gives you a full panel to stamp on too.

This next card uses the Soft Suede and Evening Evergreen but also adds a bit of interest with the Stacked Stone Background (152556) and bit of Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (155426).

Our Double Oval Punch makes this sentiment quick and easy! This next card uses our Misty Moonlight and Crumb Cake Card stock along with our Very Vanilla for a softer feel.

The door has been colored to add some interest and the Bark 3D Embossing Folder (155431) adds a lot of texture to the background.

this next card uses the Sahara Sand, Pale Papaya and Calypso Coral for it’s color pallet. Once again interest has been added with our Embossing Folders, this time it’s the Brick & Mortar 3D (149643). I just love how our products work together making them a great value! And moving away from the neutrals and natural color pallet, check out this lovely card done in Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape.

the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (152883) highlights the sentiment along with a piece of the beautiful Highland Heather 1/2″ Grosgrain Ribbon (155812) that has a beautiful shimmery feel. And for a final project today

The set has been done in Mint Macaron, Misty Moonlight, and Calypso Coral. The Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper (156494) add some interest in the background and the Champagne Rhinestones (151193) a pop of shine.

Frightfully Cute

With the weather cooling a bit here in North Georgia this week it makes me think that Halloween isn’t far off. So today I thought I’d share with you some fun card made with the Frightfully Cute stamp set (156493). This stamp set not only has some great images and sentiment but has coordinating Frightful Tag Dies (156492) that cut out some fun images too to work with the set.

Frightfully Cute Bundle

This first card uses a fun fold with the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper (156479)

making full use of this wonderful paper – open it and you’ll get a colorful surprise!

And since Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green make a fun statement during Halloween, check out this next card.

The Basic Border Dies (155558) add some texture and interest to this card that uses simple stamping to convey it’s holiday message.

Fun? I love this time of year with the change in season and look forward to those little faces dressed up for Halloween. I have such fond memories from not only my childhood but from my children’s costumes I enjoyed making too.

Counting Sheep & Sale-a-bration

We have just a few more weeks before Sale-a-bration ends and there is still time to get your favorite Sale-a-bration products. Today’s post shares one of my favorite stamp sets, Counting Sheep (156591). I guess it has something to do with their sweet little faces, childhood connections, after all who hasn’t counted sheep to fall asleep? And of course, the show my son has had me binge earlier this summer – it’s about this guy who decides to run his own farm during the lock down and is filled with ideas about farming. One of his idea was sheep, as I haven’t had lamb with mint sauce since I was a child and grew up in dairy country I had never thought farming and sheep before so I learned a few things along the way in addition to something about England too. Anyhow…

Today’s cards are done in neutral tones, a perfect foil for this farm animal fun.

These cards also use the coordinating Sale-a-bration product Sheep Dies (156600) that coordinate with the set. I love the fact we have die options this Sale-a-bration, have you checked them all out? There is even one that coordinates with a stamp set from the Annual Catalog. And they work with our Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine making them great for beginner stampers too.

Clever Cats

Are you a cat lover? If so then these fun little images and sentiments found in the Clever Cats stamp set (156490) will make you smile.

See what I mean? I especially love the one jammed into a box! How relatable is that? When Larry and I were first married we had 2 cats Tiger and Boots. Tiger was a cuddler who loved to get into a box I kept on top of my frig along with my bread on the counter, so I resorted to putting it in a Tupperware container for bread. While Tiger is no longer with us I still have the bread container with all of it’s teeth marks from where he would pry the lid off while I was at work. LOL And the other cat looks just like Boots, (a black and white tuxedo) the expression is perfect – This image reminds me of him running his paws down our metal blinds in the morning on the weekends when we tried to sleep in a little. Boots wouldn’t have any of that, he wanted his breakfast. At over 15 pounds Boots always made his presence and desires known. How about you have a cat story of your own?

If you love cats or know someone who does why not whip up a little card for them? This set is great for Halloween, Christmas and well, just anytime. Check out these fun cards made with this set.

These first 2 cards are done for Halloween. The Pattern Party Designer Series Paper (155426) adds some fun color with it’s polka dots and the Birch Background stamp (149256) has been used on the Highland Heather layer to create some interest and texture.

And how about this card using the Stacked Stone Background stamp (152556) to create the wall that is topped with the fun Black Glitter Paper (153518)?

And here is just a fun card for those cat lovers

The Layering Circle Dies (151770) have been used to cut scallop circles from the Ombre Specialty Paper (155784) found in the Annual Catalog to had some fun glimmer and quirky sentiment. And this last card is for the Holiday Season with it’s Sweet Stocking Designer Series Paper (156281) filled with little light bulbs for the tree. How many of us have watched our cat hiding in the tree only to jump out and pull all the decorations with the lights?

I know I have, I can tell you it didn’t take me long to replace those glass ornaments on our tree that Tiger would love to bat around when he got bored in the night while we slept!

Ahh, our 4 legged family. They hold a special place in our hearts.

If you love cats, and this set why not stop by my online store and check it out? You’ll find this and other wonderful pet sets for crafting too!
