Celebrate!

Have you checked out all the cool new Sale-a-Bration sets yet? This card was made using one of the sets you can earn for Free durning Sale-a-Bration just by spending $50!  It's called Feeling Sentimental! I love the vintage feel it has. For this card I made it very simple- a Vanilla card base and some wisteria wonder cardstock embossed with the Lacy Brocade embossing folder. Then I cut a shape out using the Apothecary Accents Framelits dies and stamped my images on that. I sponged the edges a bit to add more of an aged look and also added some adhesive pearls. Wouldn't this be a great birthday or anniversary card?

stamps: Feeling Sentimental
ink: Wisteria Wonder, Crumb Cake
paper:Wisteria Wonder, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Big Shot: Lacy Brocade Embossing Folder, Apothecary Accents framelits die
other: Adhesive pearls, sponge, Crumb cake seam binding ribbon

Hello, Lobster!

Here's another take on the lobster card I made the other day. When I'm just messing around making cards, sometimes I find it's easy to make a few cards with the same stamp set and color combo - and that's exactly what happened here. I turned it to make a vertical card that focused on the lobster image and then added a teeny little "hello" from the Sale-a-Bration set Pretty Petities and punched it out with the coordinating punch Petite Curly Label. These products are both Sale-a-Bration items that you can earn for free during the sale by spending $50.

stamps: by the tide, Pretty Petites

ink: pool party, river rock, cherry cobbler

paper: Whisper white, river rock, pool party

other: Natural trim ribbon, Petite Curly Label punch

twirly birthday!

This is my favorite card I've made with the pinwheel die so far. I love how it looks to add the clouds behind them! It gives it such a fun, light and whimsical look! I made two pinwheels using the pinwheel sizzlit die in the spring catalog. They are made using the print poetry designer paper stack.  Then I simply layered them over a piece of card stock embossed using the Cloudy Day embossing folder.  The sentiment is format he coordinating stamp set, wishes your way.

stamps: wishes your way

ink: early espresso

paper: Very Vanilla, Print Poetry Designer Series paper stack, Gumball Green, crumb cake

Whalecome!

Here is a fun and bright card made with the Oh Whale set… this would be perfect for a baby shower, don't you think? I tried to make it unisex but the pink ribbon makes it a little girly at the end. I think I would switch it out to blue or green ribbon for a boy but liked how the pink matched the hearts above the whale. 

I love how it looks on this card to use a white base and have the bright yellow pop off from it.. I think it gives it a really fresh spring feeling!

stamps: oh, whale

ink: Marina mist, Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo

paper: Whisper white, Daffodil Delight, Sunshine and Sprinkles Designer Series paper 

big shot: Happy Whale Clearlits die, perfect polka dots embossing folder

other: 3/8" striped organdy ribbon- melon mambo

Birthday Garden

Have you checked out the new Secret Garden set yet? This set is really nice because it has a matching framelits die - makes is so much easier than trying to cut out your flowers with a scissors! 

To make this card I first cut out a white piece of card stock with the Window Frame  Framelits Die and then I stamped the outlined flower from the secret garden set with primrose petals ink. Then I stamped the little orang flower and leaves on a separate piece of white paper  and cut them out with the coordinating framelits dies. I added these on and stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment from the Essentials stamp set (also in the spring catalog).

Then I used the Vine Street Embossing folder to make the background texture - this is a Sale-a-Bration item that you can earn for free during the sale by spending $50.

stamps: Secret Garden, essentials

ink: primrose petals, only orange, lucky limeade

paper: Whisper white, primrose petals, lucky limeade

big shot: Secrect Garden framelits, Window Frame Collection Framelits, Vine Street Embossing folder

other: 1/8" taffeta ribbon in only orange, dimensionals

Masculine whale thank you

Here is a thank you card that would be great to send a guy -- I used the whale from the Oh,Whale set paired with the paisley paper from the new print poetry designer series paper pack to make this simple thank you.

Seaside thank you

I love how this card turned out using the new By the Tide stamp set! I used a color combo of calypso coral, crumb cake and pool party - doesn't it look perfect for beach and coral colors? I cut out the white with the top note big shot die and randomly stamped the script, seahorses and coral on it to create a fun background. Then I added the simple thank you in the oval but you could easily use a birthday sentiment too.  

stamps: By the Tide, essentials

ink: calyso coral, pool party, crumb cake

paper: calyso coral, pool party, crumb cake, whisper white

big shot: Top note die, Fancy Fans embossing folder
