It’s a Heart Shaped Sale-a-bration

Have you seen the FREE products that you can earn during Sale-a-bration? There is a great Bundle, Heart Shaped Bundle (Sale-a-bration 164953) that you can earn that includes a lovely detailed heart wreath and some wonderful sentiments that you can use year round or for even for Valentine’s Day.

Check out these lovely cards using this Bundle of products you can earn for FREE with a qualifying order during Sale-a-bration. This first card uses a simple Garden Green die cut image and a fun textured background embossed with the Starstruck Embossing Folder (Sale-a-bration 164972).

A strip of our Wildflower Birthday Designer Series Paper (164591) creates interest behind the delicate heart and the Purple Adhesive Backed Sequins (Sale-a-bration 164970) and the Party Dots (164602) add a bit of texture and shine to the card. And how about this next card with the shimmer of gold?

This thank you card uses our Gold Foil Sheets (132622) for the wreath and Gold 1 1/2″ Open Weave Ribbon (165715) to add some elegance. The little flower has been cut from Pretty In Pink card stock and has another touch of gold for the center since it uses our Tinsel Gems Four Pack (161623). And texture has been added with both the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) and Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder (163483).

And for today’s final card we have a soft an lovely card that the lovely Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper, Bloom Impressions (Sale-a-bration 164944) also.

The heart has been stamped on the circle from the Spotlight on Nature Dies (163580) and the little flower centers are the Itty Bitty Bokeh Mix Embellishments (164618). This embellishment is just beautiful with it’s iridescent shine. The image just doesn’t do them justice.

Fun Resist Technique & the Detailed Dogwoods

The end of Sale-a-bration is coming quickly on Thursday, February 29th

and that means our Free exclusive products will be gone along with the opportunity of joining my Team and getting the exclusive Glass Matt as part of your Kit

So today I thought I’d share a couple more cards with you using the Detailed Dogwood stamp set (Sale-a-bration 162953) and a quick and easy emboss resist technique.

I can remember the first time I saw this technique and it seemed like magic to me. Our image has been stamped in VersaMark and heat embossed with the White Embossing Powder. Additional stamping has been added to the background and then ink has been brushed on top of that. A paper towel is then used to wipe off the ink on the dogwood image. Voila! the image reappears easily since the embossing powder resists any of the ink. So simple but wow! Can you remember seeing a technique that blew you away the first time you saw it? Simple things like this make stamping so much fun!

And these next card uses our lovely Pebbled Path and Fresh Freesia for the color pallet of the next card.

I don’t know about you but I fell in love with Pebbled Path the first time I saw it. Such a great color that is so versatile. The image has been die cut using our Deckled Rectangle Dies (159173) to add a bit of texture. The lovely Pebbled Path 3/8″ Textured Ribbon (161632) and Adhesive Backed Sparkle Gems (161288) add a bit of shine and elegance to the project.

So pretty and here in North Georgia the dogwoods dot our woodlands and landscapes during the spring. A reminder of renewal.

Jungle Pals Birthday Card Tutorial

I immediately fell in love with the cute little animals from the Jungle Pals Stamp Set (Sale-a-bration 162950)

and couldn’t resist creating some bright and bold cards using this Sale-a-bration product. The fact you can also earn the coordinating dies makes it very versatile.

But today’s card is quick and easy since it uses simple stamping.

I’ve used the Subtles Designer Series Paper (161644) and the bold Calypso Coral stripe pattern. Did some simple coloring with my Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends (154881) and voila! A great birthday card for young and old.

Want to see how I created this card? Check out my video tutorial and the PDF below with a complete supply list, measurements, and step by step directions.

Flight & Airy Note Card Tutorial

If you love the Sale-a-bration Designer Series Paper, Flight & Airy you’ll enjoy today’s card.

And it’s quick and easy to whip up a number of these cards with just one pack of the FREE paper too.

Trusty Tools & Sale-a-bration’s Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper

Woohoo! Coordination at it’s finest along with a great tool Bundle for the guys in our lives. Who doesn’t love that? Today’s cards not only the Trusty Tools Bundle (162723) but

they use one of our FREE Sale-a-bration products the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 162978). This paper is filled will wonderful images that our dies will cut out too! That makes it sooo easy to use and cards quick and easy too.

Like I said coordination at it’s finest! Check out these cards using these products. This first few cards use simple stamping and the paper to create the cards. Strips of different patterns were used to create this first card.

Along with our Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon (161171) and Rustic Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (159082) making a quick and easy Father’s Day card. And this next card uses a score line to create a fun fold.

The card is a 4 1/4 x 11 inch card base that has been scored on the 5 1/2″ and then on the 10″ marks. The bottom 1 inch section has been folded up and the rich Pecan Pie 1/2″ Bordered Ribbon (161634) holds it in place.

This next simple stamping card uses the Patchwork Pieces Dies (161592) seen below cut your Designer Series Paper for you and adds a fun little stitched edge to them too.

Our little Adhesive Backed Cork Rounds (162643) add a bit of texture to the sentiment. Add the sentiment of your choice inside, like a birthday from the Biggest Wish stamp set (155052) and you’ve got a great masculine birthday card. And how about this next card that teams the products up with the He’s All That stamp set (159071) and the coordinating dies?

This card uses a quick and easy technique using our Stampin’ Write Markers to color the different parts of the sentiment. This technique is a great way to add multiple colors to images, simply use the side of the flair tip to color the sections you desire. Make sure to start with the lightest color first so you don’t mix colors on your marker tip. Then simply breath on the image to reactivate the ink and stamp. Yep, it really is that easy! This card is also a gift card holder making it a great way to give a gift too.

To create a pocket for the gift card simply cut your card base at 11 x 4 1/4 inches and then score at the 5 1/2 and 8 3/4 inch marks. Tear & Tape is a great adhesive for the top and bottom of the pocket to hold things firmly.

And for the final card today, that fun little die found in the Trusty Tools Dies (162722) that creates a little peg board for your projects.

The images from the Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 162978) have been die cut for quick color and the bold sentiment has been fussy cut so it could hang on the board.

Whether your guy is a handy man or a tool collector, he’ll be sure to enjoy projects made with these products.

Remember, Sale-a-bration ends on February 29th, but for your best selection you’ll want to order now since items are while supplies last. And of course you can still join my team and get either additional product in your kit or the fun Glass Mat. Click HERE to learn more about my Team, the Blue Mountain Stampers.

Soft & Sweet Sale-a-bration Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper

Have you seen it? The Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper from our Sale-a-bration selection? If you love soft and lovely colors that make you think spring, you’re going to want to stock up on this paper!

And the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 162977) has wonderful little birds on one side too, with a more neutral or floral pattern on the back. Team it up with your favorite sentiment set that you need for the occasion and you’ll be set to create all kinds of products. I can’t wait to use the little flowers for Easter projects.

Check out these cards using this wonderful Designer Series Paper. This first card uses a 2 3/8″ Circle Punch (161354) to capture this little image

of the sweet little bird. I love the soft look of the Basic White background that has been embossed using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder (161473). A layer of Vellum Cardstock (101856) and vegetation from the Delicate Forest Dies (162679) done in Garden Green and Soft Sea Foam pull the colors out of the Designer Series Paper onto the card front. And of course a bit of Gold & Silver 1/8″ Trim Combo Pack (Online Exclusive 161633) adds a bit of shine. And how about this next card that uses the same sheet of images along with two more patterns to create this lovely card?

I just love the way the paper works together pulling out the colors from the floral sheet. And for this card the sentiment from the Heartfelt Hexagon stamp set (162882) has been punched out with it’s coordinating punch. (Remember if one of our items in a bundle is on back order you can order the items individually for now.). A bit of our Linen Thread (104199) adds some texture. And speaking of texture, you’re going to love our 2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim (161637) used for this next card.

Simple strips of 1″ Designer Series Paper create the background for this lovely sentiment from the Go To Greetings Stamp set (158763) that has been cut out using our Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) and layered on our Boho Blue. This card is a wonderful way to use scraps up.

Like the paper as much as I do? If so you’ll want to get yours before Sale-a-bration ends or it’s gone.
