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.

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

Pirates & Mermaids

This is a fun new stamp set that is a treasure for birthday and more. The Pirates & Mermaids stamp set (155703) has great images and coordinating sentiments too.

Check out these fun cards using the mermaid perfect for coloring with our Stampin’ Blends for bright, bold colors.

this first card teams up the set with our Checks & Dots Embossing Folders (155432) for a bit of texture. The seaweed image from Smooth Sailing Dies (149576) adds a pop of color and the Layering Circle Dies (151770) draw your attention to the sweet little mermaid. Don’t you love how our products work together?

This next card uses some color as a backdrop, using our Sponge Daubers (133773). On top of the sponging our Decorative Masks (155553) and a bit of Shimmery White Embossing Paste (145645) add a bit of shimmer and creating a cool effect.

And finally this last card uses our Pearlescent Specialty Paper (154291). The Soft Sea Foam Classic Ink has been added using our Blending Brushes (153611).

The little mermaid has been colored and cut in half. She peeks out from 2 slits that have been cut in the Pearlescent Specialty Paper with our Paper Trimmer (152392). Cute, right? And for a bit of texture the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder (154309) has been added to the Basic White Layer on the card front.

Friends are Like Seashells

I just love anything ocean themed so this Suite of Products was a must for me with its lovely coordinating products that can be used in all kinds of ways.

It’s why I chose it for my April Class there are just so many ways to use this suite of products!

Check out these lovely cards created with the products found in the Sand & Sea Suite Collection (155980).

The Flirty Flamingo background for this card creates a fun cheerful backdrop for the images and sentiment that has been stamped onto the Pearlescent Specialty Paper.

And you’re going to LOVE the 3D Embossing Folder this Suite has in it. A bit of color has been added to make the embossed images pop and create even more interest behind the sentiment and images.

This next card uses simple stamping to bring the sea to life. Done in Night of Navy and Crumb Cake with a pop of Flirty Flamingo.

The Well Suited Twine (154566) add a bit of texture to the background along with the pretty Opal Rounds (154289).

And how about this next card using heat embossing to make an impact.

The stamping and embossing is done on White Vellum then overlaid onto a piece of the Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper to add some texture Linen Twine was added underneath the popped up sentiment.

For a soft shimmer this last card uses the Pearlescent Specialty Paper that has been embossed with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder. The pearlescent layer has been layered with Highland Heather and Sahara Sand.

Gold Embossing Powder was used for the sentiment panel and the gold cord is from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack (152475) along with the metallic Pearls (146282). Isn’t it great the way our products work together?
