Sweet as a Peach Treat Tag, Team fun & more

How about some swaps, team time and a fun treat tutorial? Today I thought I’d share what we’ve been doing as a my group recently. I’ve got a great team and we have a lot of fun together when we gather each month, so I thought I’d share some of the groups swaps first. I’ll start with some of the Sale-a-bration cards.

this first card uses the lovely Feels like Home stamp set (Sale-a-bration 156607) and has been colored with our Watercolor Pencils (141709 & 149014) assortments for a softer look. And this next card was created using the Delicate Dahlia stamp set (Sale-a-bration 156601) and Merry Merlot for a bold look.

If you don’t recognize the polka dots it’s from the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper pack (Sale-a-bration 156630) which as you can see is quite versatile. A bit of fussy cutting and some Wink of Stella finish off this lovely card. And how about this big bold sunflower?

This card uses the Celebrate Sunflowers (152517) and the coordinating Sunflower Dies (152704) and it’s also a fun buckle card, the sentiment tucks into a punched slot behind the sunflower.

Not only do we do team meetings each month, but we also had a team retreat in August, so I thought I’d share a couple of the swaps from that today. This first project uses the Friends are Like Seashells Bundle (159516) and Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (154309).

And how about some pansy fun using the Pansy Petals Suite (155810)? A simple cutting technique creates this criss-cross pattern for the card front.

We also made a fun little box that was filled with some treats.

I really love this Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper (155807) and the fact you can cut tons of flowers out with the bundle’s dies and isn’t the little box adorable? Want to see more team fun? This month was our bi-annual Peak Princess event. What is that? It’s a special day filled with pampering that my team can earn. This time we made 3 special projects, won prizes and enjoyed a nice Hawaiian inspired luncheon together.

The pulled pork and Mango Salsa we had were a hit so I thought I’d share the recipes with you. The pulled pork is soooo easy with just 3 ingredients and you make in the crock pot too! And you may find the Mango Salsa addictive – eat it with chips, or you can add it on top of fish or shrimp taco too.

  • Mango Salsa Recipe PDF

And as a little gift everyone received a charm for their lanyards that was placed in this cute Treat Tag marking this occasion.

Want to see how I made this little Treat Tag? I’ve whipped up a quick video tutorial for you and a PDF with the complete supply list.

Highlight on Sale-a-bration’s Delicate Dahlias

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!
