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.

  • New Catalog Party display pictures!


    I held my new catalog party on Saturday showcasing the Spring & Sale-a-Bration products. It was so fun to have my customers/friends stop in to see everything & visit.  

    Here are a few photos of my displays of new 2023 Spring Catalog products: 

    Above you can see the Delicate Desert and Enjoy the Journey designer paper. Below is the Country Floral Lane designer paper; wonderful for Valentines.  

    Above you can also see the Country Gingham 6" designer paper and lots of swaps featuring this Country Floral Lane suite. 

    I always join a bunch of swaps so I can get a bunch of samples so I can create display boards like this one: 

    I wish the pictures were a little clearer for you but there was some reflection on the clear envelopes covering each card. 

    Below are photos of quite a few of our new Designer Paper; the titles of each are shown in the photo. 

    Below are swap cards featuring the Regency Park Suite seen here; one of my favorites! 

    Keep in mind I didn't make all of these cards. I did make that 'many' but received different cards back for the swaps I sent in.  I love swapping!! 

    I'll share more products & swaps featuring Sale-a-Bration tomorrow. 

    *Join me Live today here at 11 am CT for this week's FB Live. You WILL want to see these projects!

  • Sentimental Park with Country Gingham DSP card swap


    I always join a bunch of online swaps with each new catalog.  It's so much easier to make a bunch of one card than it is to make one of several different cards for my display boards.  

    Here's one I made with the Sentimental Park bundle seen here.  


    I chose to use the Country Gingham 6 X 6" designer paper pack; it has multiple gingham patterns in just a few colors.  I added White & Blushing Bride to it.  

    Notice that pretty white die-cut for the greeting; it has attached floral design on opposing corners for some pretty detail. There are two sizes of this type of die in this bundle and one without the side details.  This one fits inside the largest one; the floral detail has slits on the inside to allow the smooth die-cut to fit right in!  

    The Blushing Bride oval is from the Framed Florets dies. The pretty texture on the White banner is done with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here; also new in the Spring catalog.  

    My measurements are simple:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
    • DSP 2" X 4"
    • White banner strip 1 1/4" X 5"

    Notice the alternate print I used on some of the swaps below; I love having a few choices in similar patterns.  

    I'll share some photos of my new catalog party from Saturday later this week.  Stop back in!
