A pretty card with the Wonderful World free bundle from Sale-a-Bration

This is a card I made for an online swap I joined.  I LOVE swapping and getting a bunch of cards back that I didn't have to design! It also gives my customers a variety of cards that might not be my style but could be theirs. 

I couldn't stop playing with the Wonderful World bundle from Sale-a-Bration! 

Save

The colors are Mossy Meadow, Starry Sky & Basic White.  I simply added a 1 1/2" X 5 1/2" strip of the pretty Wonderful World designer paper to pull the colors together.  The pattern & colors in the DSP were my inspiration for the card.  

Here's a photo of the bundle you can earn during our Sale-a-Bration promotion in July & August of 2022.  Any $100 order qualifies you to receive this bundle of designer paper and stamp set!

I used the Very Best Occasions bundle for the greeting and the additional corner punch detail.

Stop in for another set of cards with this bundle tomorrow.

Remember that Sale-a-Bration is the best time of year to get free products!  It's smart to order your essentials or from your wishlist during SAB.

  This is one of the cards I featured on last week's Live video. I chose to showcase the Nature's Sweetness suite.

  The colors include Lost Lagoon, Crumb Cake, Pretty Peacock, White & Pecan Pie. See the neat woven trim on the edge?  that is done with the new Faux Leather trim that has a subtle gold shimmer to it.  The holes and the leaves are made with the Notes of Nature dies seen here. 

  Below is a photo of the entire suite of products.

  If you order this suite you'll earn two free Sale-a-Bration choices!  Or get it and almost $20 more with the Starter Kit deal!

  Other dies include the Cheerful Daisies for the label and the Deckled Circles behind the flowers/leaves.  I also used the Wink of Stella with Lost Lagoon ink to color the flowers and added a Blooming Pearl to each one.

• Gorgeous Notes of Nature card with free project sheet & video tutorial

  January 29, 2024

  ---

  I had no idea I would enjoy creating with the Nature's Sweetness suite as much as I did. It's not my usual style but I'm in love with it all!  

  Here's one of the cards I shared on last week's video: 

  Save

  I used the Notes of Nature bundle and Old Olive, Black and gold accents on this card.  The large white layer is made by stamping a few of the background stamps in Black ink. I added two sets of leaves – one in green and 2 the other in the Gold designer paper. 

  I want to mention what I think puts this card over the top. Of course the gold additions attract your eye but I think repeating colors a few times helps a lot. Notice how the black is repeated, the Olive is and so is the Gold. If you have trouble with color combinations, try adding one color with a neutral or two. Such as Black & White with any color. 

  Save

  More Details:

  • I textured the Olive layer with the Exposed Brick embossing folder and used a Blending Brush to add Old Olive ink to it. This really highlights the texture! 
  • Also notice the small strip of Gold designer paper on the top and bottom of the stamped white layer.  This is the Nature's Sweetness specialty paper. 
  • I added gold sequins and gold Elegant trim near the greeting.

  I thought I'd share some of my display boards featuring Spring Catalog products.  I've heard back that you enjoy these so here you go…..

  First up is the Hot Air Balloon and Bee My Valentine projects:

  Remember that many of these are swaps and are not made by me. I like to group cards together that use the same stamp set or designer paper. 

  Here is the Hot Air Balloon dies display.  See the Hot Air Balloon bundle here.

  Next is the Perennial Lavender suite plus the Hills of Tuscany stamp set on the lower left.
