More Detailed Dogwood

Here is North Georgia spring is always heralded in with our Dogwood trees that dot the landscapes and woods. They never fail to impress either and so I expect that if you love them too you’ll enjoy creating with the Detailed Dogwood (Sale-a-bration 162953).

Once again this stamp set is an image only set so that you can team it up with your favorite sentiment as you create. Here are a couple of cards that use this lovely set. This first card uses the soft Bubble Bath and have teamed it up with Lemon Lime Twist. The Watercolor Painted was used to color the images to create a quick and easy wash of color.

And if you don’t recognize the sentiment it is from our Quiet Reflection (162689) that you can find in our January – April Mini Catalog. For a bolder look this next gift card holder uses the Moody Mauve, Mossy Meadow, and the Forever Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (162573) with it’s lovely foiling.

The background uses the Notes of Nature stamp set (163203) and the dogwoods have some Clear Wink of Stella (141897) to add a bit of shimmer. Sponging and a bit of wash gives the card a softer feel. Open it and you have a spot for a gift card

Don’t you love how color impacts our creations? Something as simple as a color choice makes a project feel so different even when you use the same stamp sets allowing you to make it your own.

Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some cards using the Notes of Nature stamp set with you.

Adorning Hearts

The Adorning Hearts Stamp set (162563) is an elegant one with it’s lovely flowing font and floral images.

It also has a coordinating Hybrid Embossing Folder and dies making it a lot of fun to create with.

Today’s cards all use the stamp set to create lovely card for celebrating your loved ones. This first card uses non traditional Valentine colors and fun gate fold card to create a lovely soft feel. The heart shape floral wreath has been stamped in Pool Party Classic Ink with the sentiment stamped over top.

The Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (161157) sets the color pallet for the project. And the Lost Lagoon 1/4″ Bordered Ribbon (161171) adds a bit of texture. For a more traditional look this next card uses our Real Red and Flirty Flamingo. While it uses the same heart shape wreath it has a very different feel to it. Don’t you love how a simple change in color does that?

The wreath has been colored with our Flirty Flamingo and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends giving it a soft feel. The background uses the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505) to add a bit of texture along with the NEW Baker’s Twine Three Color Pack (162759) and a few Basic Rhinestones Jewels (144220).

This next card teams the sentiment from the set with the Most Adored Specialty Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 162976) that you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration.

It’s a beautiful pack of paper with gold foiling and images that will coordinate with the different Mini catalog products.

Love that as I have a band director for a daughter and can’t resist music themed items! A couple of the FREE Opaque Faceted Gems (Sale-a-bration 162979) add a bit more texture to the sentiment panel. Look form them on page 9 of the Sale-a-bration Brochure, they are easy to miss and you’ll defiantly want some.

On the Farm

I grew up in the rolling hills of dairy farm land as a child so the On the Farm Bundle (160652) spoke to me immediately when I saw it. And while I live in North Georgia now, right our neighboring farmer has the calves in the field next to us, keeping them close as they adjust to being away from mom. It’s always fun to watch them frolic and play in the field.

Not only is this stamp set filled with farm animals it also has some wonderful sentiments AND when you purchase it during Sale-a-bration it has a fun coordinating Designer Series Paper, Day at the Farm (Sale-a-bration 160835) too that you can get for creating even more fun projects!

Here is a fun card done in Pear Pizzazz and Crumb Cake using the Bundle.

The sentiment has been punch out with the Double Oval Punch (154242) and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430) which gives it a bit of texture an interest.

So what do you think? Look like something you’d enjoy? And great news this set of On the Farm Dies (160660) fits in our Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss (160881).

Did you know that you can get this mighty little machine in your Starter Kit in addition to $175 of product of your choice?

More fun with Adorable Owls

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!

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.

In the Country

Did you know that we have a lovely set that has some wonderful sketched images in it called In the Country (Sale-a-bration 160828) as one of your Sale-a-bration choices?

I love sets like this since they are so easy to work with, make wonderful monochromatic cards, and add your favorite sentiments to. Today I’m sharing some cards using the landscape image from the set that I received in a swap. While each of them use the same image they have a different feel to them based on their color choices and accessories chosen. This first one uses simple stamping along

The image and sentiment has been stamped in Early Espresso and the texture in the background was created with VersaMark and the Drybrush Background stamp (152599). And this next card uses the Crumb Cake to create a softer image.

The NEW Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder (160580) gives it a more intense feeling of texture in the background. And for a pop of color how about this last card using the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper (160836) and the Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequims (160387)?

the sentiment has been punched out with the Label Me Fancy Punch (151297) and popped up. The bit of Burlap Ribbon (160386) from our combo pack adds a bit more texture.

Like I said same set, but yet so different. Don’t you love that about stamping? I know I do!
