Playful Pals & More

Today’s cards are soft and sweet, so why not check them out?

This first card uses the Playful Pals stamp set (140506) found on page 45 of the Occasions Catalog. At first glance it’s easy to miss, but when you see this adorable card that Laura gave me you’ll want to check it out.

Playful Pals SC Occasions Swap 2016 (1)

This set includes 50 stamps that can be mixed and matched to create all kinds of fun images. And when you bundle it with the Pyamid Pals Thinlits Dies (140618) you can make adorable little treat items too! Great news – get the bundle (141069) and you’ll save 15%!

This second card was given to me by Tanisha and uses the Balloon Builders stamp set (140645). Isn’t the bear sweet?

Balloon Builders SC Occasions Swap 2016 (2)

It’s another set that you might have missed, since it once again has lots of pieces that you can use to build all kinds of things! This set  coordinates with the Balloon Bouquet Punch (140609) but it’s not just for balloons. Why not take a look at page 14 to see all the fun ideas?

So which is your favorite? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what you think?

Hip Notes Get Well

Recently my nephew broke his leg and I want to send him a card that will bring a smile to his face. It seems like he just can’t catch a break, (no pun intended). Newly married and with a baby on the way, being out of work for 3 months it tough.

So this weekend the first card I created was one for Kevin.

Hip Notes Get Well

I wasn’t sure where to start and I was thinking about a cast, but then I ran across the Hip Notes stamp set (133501/133504) from the Occasions Catalog on page 18. For some reason this sentiment just made me chuckle when I saw it, and I knew the kid would get the sense of humor of the sentiment. Of course the pattern from the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (FREE Sale-a-bration item) reminded me of a hospital gown somehow. See it? Well maybe it was the late night and wine?

Anyhow so what do you think of the card? Think it will bring a smile to his face? Why not leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Hip Notes (133501/133504)

Inks: Jet Black StazOn (101406), Summer Starfruit (126991), and Blushing Bride (131172)

Paper: Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration item 133521), Blushing Bride (131198), Summer Starfruit (126839), Basic Black (121045), and Whisper White (100730)

Accessories: Decorative Dots Embossing Folder (Sale-a-bration item 133520), 3/16″ Corner Rounder (119871), Artisan Label Punch (130920), 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch (127811), and Summer Starfruit 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (126846)

It’s a Perfect Pennants Valentine’s Day

Wow, can you believe it’s already Valentine’s Day? This week has really flown by with all the snow excitement here in North Georgia. But since we can’t forget our loved ones and Valentine’s Day I thought I would share with you some of the great swaps I got during Leadership with a “love” theme.

This first card was one of my shoebox swaps at Leadership and I really like the way Kathy used all the different textures – it makes it a very interesting card even though it only uses 3 basic colors.

Perfect Pennants Leadership Swap 2014

This card uses a lot of great products from the new Occasions Catalog including our Perfect Pennants stamp set (133227/133230),  Arrows Embossing Folder (132187), and Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (132996).

Do you recognize the image from the hearts on the banner? Well it is our single stamp Flowerful Heart (134617) that is only available through today.

Leslie gave me this cute little treat using our Angled Tag Topper Punch (133323) and the Just Sayin’ Stamp Set (133200/133203) and Word Bubbles Framelits Dies (132968).

Isn’t it cute? And don’t forget you can get these two fun items in a bundle (134819/134820) and save15%!

And this last card is from Julie and is just too cute I thought. It uses our In With You stamp set, Monstermaniacs (134972/134969).

Monstermaniacs Leadership Swap 2014

Don’t you love the little googlie eye? And the bling added with our Red Glimmer Paper? The hearts were created using our Owl Builder Punch and Small Heart Punches. And can you guess the background texture on the Whisper White card stock? If you guess our exclusive Sale-a-Bration Embossing Folder, Decorative Dots – you’re right! This has been a real favorite and is quickly becoming a must have.

Don’t forget you can get your own exclusive Sale-a-bration items when you purchase $50 in product. You can click HERE for more information about Sale-a-bration.

And of course this month and next is a great time to hold a private party and earn even more FREE goodies!

Starburst Sayings

This weekend I held my Sale-a-bration Saturday event and so today I thought I’d share the project that everyone who was able to attend made. The card uses the Starburst Sayings Bundle (134817/134818) from the Occasions Catalog (found on page 34).

Starburst Sayings Leadership Swap 2014

This card was one that I enjoyed making during my Leadership Shoebox swap and I just knew my group would too.

The card has such a great combination of textures because of the different products it uses. One of my favorites items that was used is the Core’dinations Card stock which was embossed with one of our exclusive Sale-a-bration items – the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. This folder is a great addition to any collection, after all who doesn’t love polka dots? And this is a wonderfully whimsically collection of dots!

Core’dintions Cardstock is so cool because you can do so many different things with it. Use it just like it is and see the wonderful linen design like we did with the Real Red piece or emboss and sand it like we did with the piece of Pool Party to let the core color shine through. Or tear it and really show the core color off to add texture – how many different ways can you think of?

Can you see the Watercolor Washi Tape? It’s under the scrumptious Gold Baker’s Twine – adding just the right bit of color.

Here is a picture of some of the gang stamping.

Saleabration Saturday group

I always love to see the different ways that they take the same pieces and come up with different designs.

Stop by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing the little goodie I gave everyone who attended.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Starburst Sayings (133182/133185)

Inks: Real Red (126949)

Paper: Fresh Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (132996), Brights Core’dinations (129953), and Subtles Core’dinations (129954),  Pool Party (122924), and Whisper White (100730)
