Soft Seedlings with the new Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes


On yesterday's FB Live I shared 3 cards featuring the new Soft Seedlings stamp set.  The first two featured the new FREE Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes too.  

These Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes are a free choice from our new Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  I love SAB when we can all get something free with our orders!  Spend a minimum of $50 and pick something absolutely free!  

These cards & envelopes are one of my top picks in the catalog. You can use them for lots of cards in the future! 

The package includes 20 envelopes and 10 each of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam card bases.  Today's project features the Soft Sea Foam card base. 

You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned look of the leaf. I stamped it first in Soft Sea Foam and removed a bit of the ink on the edges with a sponge dauber.  Then I added Pool Party ink to those same areas. Huff and stamp!   Watch the video here to see how it's done. 

There is a vellum leaf on the stamped leaf for both texture and shimmer.  I sponged the punched leaf (Bough punch), sponged a bit of color and curled the leaves.  Lastly I added Wink of Stella to both leaves for a pretty shimmer effect.  

I trimmed off 1" along the bottom edge of the card base and adhered it to the inside. 

Then I cut a white scalloped edge using the Contour Scalloped dies.  I textured the 1 1/4" Pool Party card stock strip with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder seen here.  I LOVE this folder!  I attached the embossed layer to the scalloped White trim and then adhered to the card front.

The 'hello' is stamped on a die-cut from the Tea Cup dies and added over two bows; one with Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon and another with White twine.  

Click on the video below to watch how it's made along with two other cards using this stamp set.

  • Be Dazzling specialty paper is sold out! Fabulous Summer Shadow dies projects with video!


    I cannot believe the many ways you can use these Summer Shadow dies seen here!  I shared two bright, fun cards yesterday here and have more yet today. 

    I sure love the leaves in Coastal Cabana & Pool Party!  The flowers are Melon Mambo & Blushing Bride.  

    The greeting is from the coordinating stamp set in the Annual Catalog called Shaded Summer seen here. I love the greetings & font in this set! That heat embossed greeting/die-cut is from the Messages die. 

    Next up I created some colorful cards using the Sale-a-Bration Be Dazzling specialty designer paper.  As of today this paper is SOLD OUT unfortunately.  They did predict they'd run out of this paper before Sale-a-Bration is over. 

    Just so you know, these Summer Shadow dies (and the Sheep dies) are also expected to run out! 

    I used Blends markers to color my flowers.  You can see this in the video below.  The card base is Granny Apple Green and the vertical strips are Poppy Parade on the left & Magenta Madness on the right. 

     Which is your favorite? 

    I'm so sorry that this gorgeous paper is unavailable now.  I hope most of you ordered it while you could!  

    Below is the video where I share lots of cards featuring the Summer Shadow dies and the Shaded Summer stamp set. Click on the photo to watch.

  • The pretty Summer Shadow dies unleashed my creativity!


    I sure had fun playing with the Summer Shadow dies this week. I planned to make 3 cards and ended up with 6! I had to make myself stop, which rarely happens. I started out with this amazing card inspired by one made by Beth McCullough. 

    I die-cut a bunch of flowers & leaves from Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green Coastal Cabana and Magenta Madness and added them to Black CS that I embossed with the Hello & Thank you embossing folders.  The greeting from Shaded Summer is on a die-cut from the Messages die.  See the pink & black gingham ribbon?  It's originally Black & White but I colored it with my Magenta blends marker.

    As you can see in these eye catching cards you can do a lot with these dies!  

    I also made this neat card with a paper piecing technique.  I inserted petals into the outline flower and secured them with tape. The black & White DSP behind the fie-cuts is from the Pattern Party DSP.  It's a huge pack of 48 sheets – a hostess choice with orders over $150 seen here or on page 171 of the annual catalog. 

    The colors are Coastal Cabana, Magenta Madness, Black, White & Mango Melody. 

    The Summer Shadow dies are free during Sale-a-Bration (this promo ends Sept 30th).  Now is a great time to stock up on essentials when you earn free products with your orders.  Card stock, inks, In Colors, Blends markers, Designer Paper etc.  Check these dies out here!  

    I have more Summer Shadow projects to share with you tomorrow! Or check out the FB Live replay video here.
