Awesome Sale-a-Bration Team card swap samples

We held our monthly Team swap and meeting this weekend.  As usual my gals created fabulous cards to share with each other.  

First is a rainbow of carrots card made by Karen.  She used the Thanks a Bunch stamp set.  It's a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; yours with any $50 purchase of Stampin' Up! products.

Rainbow carrots are one of the fun food trends right now; she did it proud!  She used the Stamparatus to stamp her carrots, repositioning the card stock on her mat each time so the two step stamps lined up perfectly.  Genius!  I plan to share her technique soon.  

She used the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here, new Pastel Adhesive-Backed sequins, the Deckled Rectangle dies and the new Happy Labels Pick a Punch for her greeting.

Ginny made this pretty card with the Beautifully Happy stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration.

It's a beautiful 2-step stamp set that is also distinktive; which means it gives two tones of ink on one stamping.  My favorite types of stamp hands down! 

Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Old Olive and Black. She added that soft layer of Vellum too!

Measurements are: 

Card base 4 1/4" X 11", White – 3" X 4 1/8", Black 3 1/8" X 4 1/4" and Vellum is 3 5/8" X 4 3/4"

Jane brought this cute card to share and I had to show you.  She used the Adorable Owls stamp set; another Sale-a-Bration choice that's free with a $50 purchase from now through February 28th. *see everything free here

Can you see what is so unique about it?  

Jan BeautifullyHappy Ginny Save

The Owl tag is loose and can be removed from the card front.  It is caught on the horizontal greeting banner that is only anchored at the outer edges.  I love this idea!  You could add a bookmark in the same way.  

Her colors are Calypso Coral with Fresh Freesia.

  • Stunning cards in the New Horizons card kit to go; or choose the PDF tutorial option

    I couldn't decide which Designer Paper to feature for my April card kit to go so I did a poll on my Facebook group.  The majority asked me to use the New Horizons DSP.  I was leaning that way myself but their overwhelming response sealed the deal.  

    Here's a peak at the cards in this month's kit.

    New Horizons kit to go Save

    This paper almost makes the card itself! The scenes are so beautiful you don't need much to finish them off.  Because of that this month's kit includes an extra set of 2 bonus cards for a total of 12 instead of the usual 10.

    This kit is what my monthly kit subscribers will receive.  Opt in for the pre-cut kit by April 18th. It's $28 plus shipping. 

    You'll receive the following in your kit:

    • 12 pre-cut cards, die-cut & punched pieces
    • 1/2 pkg of the New Horizons 6 X 6" DSP
    • a share of Pebbles Enamel Shapes
    • a share of 1/8" cotton combo ribbon
    • the PDF tutorial with photos, supplies, measurements & step by step directions. 

    You will need the following to complete the cards:

    1. Paper Trimmer, adhesives, Black, Blackberry Bliss & Evening Evergreen inks
    2. Stamps – I used the On the Horizon stamp set but you can substitute what you already own.  #Add on the stamp set or bundle at 10% off and it will ship with your kit! *message me here to get a total if you want to add on the stamp set or bundle 

    Click here to get the PDF tutorial.

    Click here to get the pre-cut kit to go (best deal)

    The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment.  The kit will ship out at the end of April, barring any back-orders.  

    Here's a recent comment from a customer: I just received my kit loved the way you packaged it together I have bought other kits and yours is one of the better ones. The PDF is simple to understand for me and I so appreciate the time it took you to do all this. Many thanks.

  • Flowering Tulips Matchbox cards; easy fun-fold cards with video

    Happy April 1st!!!  It even feels a bit like spring is coming here in North Dakota.  I've been able to get out for walks again lately without worrying about slipping on ice.

    I wish we had real tulips out but it's too early here. 

    Here are two more Matchbook style cards featuring the Flowering Fields designer paper and Flowering Tulips stamp set.  The set includes lots of greetings and many different tulips too.

  • How to achieve the Inked Block Technique; you only need 3 things!

    I shared the Inked Block technique on Tuesday's Facebook Live video.  It's fun, easy and you need just 3 things!

    I chose to feature the Garden Wishes stamp set & a variety of colors. This first one is Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape & Pacific Point. 

    Garden Wishes Heather . Save

    You need a clear block, Stampin' Write markers and a spritzer filled with water.  Below are the measurements for the cards. 

    Garden Wishes Heather . Save

    Watch the video here to see how it's done.  It's the first of 3 projects I share.   

    Tips for success:

    • Use Stampin' Write 'water based' markers on your block; do not use Blends which are permanent markers.
    • Start with the lightest color first so you don't get a dark color on your marker tip
    • After filling up the block with ink (I colored on the diagonal) spritz it with water until dots form. 
    • The more water you add the better the inks blend.  But don't do too much or the colors blend too much. 
    • Press the block directly on your White card stock and hold for a few second. 
    • Have a tissue or paper towel ready to dab up excess water off the paper. 

    The Stampin' Write markers I used on this next card are Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana and Pacific Point.

    The card below has a softer feel.  The colors are Pale Papaya, Pumpkin Pie & Polished Pink.
