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.

  • Fun Origami Folded Window cards for FB Live Monday!


    Have you made an origami folded window?  They're so easy to do!  I'll be making cards like these on Monday night's FB Live 'Stamp with Me' here. 

    How does 'Stamp with Me' work?  I share the projects a few days before the Live to give you time to prep your pieces.  You use the paper, stamps & ink you have to stamp right along with me!  

    You'll start with a 4" square of Designer Paper.  I chose to use the Berry Delightful paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog. 

    Then you draw an X in the center. Do this by placing a ruler from corner to corner.  Draw a line.  Do the same once more on the other corners.  This X is where you will bring the DSP point up to.  Press well and then fold back the tip to the fold. Do this on all corners!  


    It looks like the tip hangs off the corner but it doesn't. I added a layer to some of these measuring 3" square.  If you add a stamped layer inside that is 2 3/4" square. 

    The stamps are from the Berry Blessings stamp set; it comes with this super fun designer paper in a bundle.  It's FREE with a $100 order through February 28th.  If you place an order to earn this bundle you'll also receive a free 10 cards kit from me for my 12 X 12" one sheet wonder. See it here.

  • Seashells fun fold card; wow!


    Sharon created this gorgeous 'dutch door' fun-fold card for our February Team swap. 

    I think stamping on the die-cut shell before embossing is the neatest idea!  She used the Friends are Like Seashells bundle with the Seashells 3D embossing folder. 

    Her colors are Blushing Bride with Gray Granite and our new Pearlescent Paper.  This specialty paper is absolutely stunning! See it here. 

    That great texture on the back layer is made with the Painted Texture embossing folder seen here. 

    Measurements: 

    • Gray Granite 8 1/2" X 5 1/4" and trim off 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" on the upper left front. Front is 4" X 2 3/4"
    • Pearlescent paper is also 4" X 2 3/4" 
    • Blushing Bride 4 1/8" X 5 3/8" inside, 2 7/8" X 4 1/8" front
    • Vanilla inside is 2 3/4" X 4" 

    *Remember that if you have a nice wish list February is a great time to whittle it down!  You can choose to order as a customer and earn free Sale-a-Bration items or get the Starter Kit option and get 25% off a $125 order.  And then get 20% off all further purchases!

  • Playful & unique cards with Oh So Ombre’ Designer paper!


    Do you have the fabulous Oh So Ombre' Designer Series Paper yet?  If not here are three creative reasons you need it!

    Aren't they fun!  I really wanted to show you how amazing this designer paper is so I played and came up with these neat card ideas.  First is a starburst card in two colors; Bermuda Bay and Blackberry Bliss.  

    I used the fabulous Stitched Star dies and the Oval Occasions stamp set.  Watch the video below to see just how easy it is to make one of these gorgeous cards. 

    Next I played with the Dandy Wishes dies (2021 Spring Catalog) to create these 'Retro' style cards.  I first die-cut a bunch of 'windows' in the White panel.  Then added punched circles of the Oh So Ombre DSP behind them.  Next I textured the entire thing with an embossing folder.  

    For the last card I wanted to use those retro style die-cuts so I created this Ombre panel card.  The stamp set is from Field of Flowers. 

    Thanks for stopping in today; I hope you like these unique cards.  If you do and want to get your own package of Oh So Ombre' Designer Paper you can get it free with a $50 purchase.  click here to order.
