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

July 6, 2022

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Save

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.

Lovely Lily Pad with Lily Pad dies to match!

February 20, 2020

Waterlilies are so trendy now and these reversible Lovely Lily Pad stamps in the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog are beautiful!

I'm sharing more of my Team swaps from our meeting earlier this month. Many of my team choose to join in our monthly swaps. Our swaps are optional and work like this: design one card and make one for everyone in the swap. If there are 12 people in the swap you make 12 of the same cards. Then send or bring them to me and I sort them out and return them to everyone participating. It's so fun to get all different cards back when you only had to create one!

First is Mary's pretty card:

Save

She used the Stitched Rectangle dies on three of her layers here! Her colors are Bermuda Bay, Grapefruit Grove and Old Olive. A little bit of Rococo Rose and Coastal Cabana too. The Lily Impressions designer paper has tons of pretty colors in it.

Roxann made this next card. She also used a Bermuda Bay card base but focused on Melon Mambo and Granny Apple Green as her colors.

Save

It truly looks like water is reflecting the flowers on this pretty Lily Impressions designer paper. This paper is a free choice with any $50 order right now. See them here.

Her greeting is from the Sending you Thoughts set; also a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

Bobby created this pretty card below. It also reminds me of a water garden with lilies in it.

Save

Her colors are Pretty Peacock, Pool Party and Grapefruit Grove. Isn't that border die beautiful? I also like that peek of a vellum lily behind the largest lily. I have a bunch of talented ladies on my Team!

If you've considered joining Stampin' Up! as a Demonstrator I'd love to have you in my Flowerbug's group. Read about that opportunity here.

Happy Birthday to You SAB set swaps

February 19, 2020

Two more pretty card swaps from my Flowerbug's Team today. These two cards are similar in layout but still so different.

This Happy Birthday to You stamp set (seen here) is free with any $50 order during Sale-a-Bration. And now there is a set of dies to match! Click on the photo below to see those. My customers love it when there are dies to match; no fussy cutting!

Save

First is Deloris's card in Balmy Blue and Daffodil Delight.

Save

She used the Stitched So Sweetly dies for her White layer and the greeting. The cake and the flowers are cut out with the Birthday Dies seen above. She colored the images with Blends markers. The texture is from the Parisian Flourish embossing folder.

Next is Karen's card; she used Pacific Point with Daffodil Delight and Silver foil

Save

Her stamped cake and the Silver cake stand are cut out with the Birthday dies. She textured her Pacific Point layer with the Coastal Weave embossing folder.

Like I said; these two cards are similar but not!

This pretty stamp set fits just about any celebration that involves cake; which in our family is just about everything!

Power of Hope Bundle swap cards

February 18, 2020

I have a lot of swaps to show you this week. My Flowerbug's Team held a Sale-a-Bration card swap and the cards are amazing! Each day I'll share a few with you.

First up are two cards featuring the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's free with any $100 purchase. You receive both the stamp set and the Stone embossing folder. Look!

Save

Annette made this one; it's a gate-fold card with a faux lantern. She stamped and colored the image with Blends markers before adding texture with the Corrugated embossing folder seen here. She also rubbed her Black Memento ink pad over the texture to add a distressed look.

She achieved the lantern by cutting out a circle with the Circles Collection dies and adding strips of Real Red above and below. The top of the lantern is made with the Light Bulb punch. Both the silver foil and Real Red papers are textured with the Stone embossing folder.

Save

Audrey made the pretty card above adding Gold with her Red, Black and White colors. So elegant! The greeting is heat embossed. Look at what she did on the inside of the card! Unique and special.

Save

You can see this bundle here in my online store.
