Sending Support & More

Posted on by

Today’s cards use 2 more sets that you can earn during Sale-a-bration when you place a qualifying order. The first cards I’m sharing today use the sentiment stamp set Sending Support (Sale-a-bration 160822).

This stamp set is great to add to your favorite Designer Series Paper, like this card did with the Dainty Flowers Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 160834) or team it up with your favorite image set. This next card uses the sentiment as it’s focal point and adds interest with the Stitched with Whimsy Dies (155314).

The card also uses another of our fun products you can earn for free, the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 160836). And today’s final card uses the Thanks a Bunch (Sale-a-bration 160816) stamp set. While this is a traditional use for the stamp set

you can create all kinds of cards simply by using the images in different ways. Flip them up side down and you have a tree or why not put two together to create a heart? The ideas are endless and the sentiments are for all occasions!

Earning these items is easy during Sale-a-bration and did you know that we only have until February 28th to earn them? Sale-a-bration ends at the end of the month and the products are while supplies least. So why not get yours today? Simply place your order in my Onine Store and choose yours!

Enjoy! and then stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing a fun card tutorial with you.

More fun with Adorable Owls

Posted on by

I can’t get enough of this adorable little stamp set, how about you? So today I’ll be sharing some of the swap cards that I received using this cute little guy. I just love how you can use the set for all kinds of cards.

How about some friendship cards to start? Here is a fun one that uses our new Happy Labels Pick a Punch (160693) for the fun little swing that the owl is sitting on.

Our Basic Border Dies (155558) and fun Three Twine Combo Pack (160597) and Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins (160387) compliment another of our Sale-a-bration products, the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper Stack (Sale-a-bration 160836). Cute right? And this next friendship card takes on a whole different feel that is more nature geared.

This time the Soft Suede layer has been dry embossed with our Timber 3d Embossing Folder (156406) for some texture. The branch has been cut from Mossy Meadow using a die from the Meadow Dies (155852) and the Stylish Shape Dies (159183) adds a bit more texture with it’s stitched edges and Vellum Card stock piece.

And these next three cards a great for celebrating. This first card is bright and cheerful and it pulls it’s color pallet from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper Stack (Sale-a-bration 160836).

And how about a fun faux window card?

This card is done in softer colors and uses the By the Bay Specialty Designer Series Paper (160434) giving it a landscape feel to the backdrop. How cool is that?

And finally a fun little graduation card using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) and Regency Park Designer Series Paper (160559)

to create a classic Blue & Gold combo. A Bit of our Metallic Woven Ribbon (159198) and Adhesive Backed Milky Dots (160582) complete the look.

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s cards and stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more cards made with our Sale-a-bration products with you!

Today’s cards use another of the Sale-a-bration stamp sets, Beautifully Happy (Sale-a-bration 160804). This set is not only filled with lovely 2 step water colored images but also has some wonderful all occasion sentiments.

The images when you stamp them have shading build in to the image so you’ll get this wonderful soft subtle watercolor look. Check out these card made with the set.

This first card is bright and cheerful with it’s Daffodil Delight blooms. The Daffodil has been teamed up with the Balmy Blue gingham pattern from our Country Gingham Designer Series Paper (160388). And how about this next card done in the same Balmy Blue?

This card uses the Stylish Shapes Dies to highlight the image and the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 160836) peeks out from behind the Split Card Texture Dies (159162) for a soft subtle feel.

And while these next two cards use the 2022-2024 In Colors they have a completely different look.

Stitched with Whimsy Dies (155314) and a lovely bit of texture and the In Color Metallic Woven Ribbon a bit of shine. And today’s last card uses our Heat Embossing to make this image pop on the card front.

The monochromatic color pallet of Calypso Coral uses the Pretty Prints Designer Series Paper (159245) brings it all together.
