Happy Birthday to You; a free stamp set!

January 15, 2020

Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet? The cake on a pedestal image is quite pretty and easy to color too.

And guess what?! They are releasing a set of die-cuts for this set next month! It includes 7 dies including one for the entire cake, just the flowers, a detailed pedestal and two sets of leaves. It will be for purchase; it's not part of Sale-a-Bration. There are 6 new items they'll release on February 4th that coordinate with items in the new Mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog. I'll share more on that soon.

This pretty card has a bit of the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper on the edge; it brings together the soft colors of Pool Party, Petal Pink and White. It's a bonus card for those who take my New Catalog stamp a stack class on January 25th.

That detailed scalloped rectangle is from my favorite new set of dies; Stitched So Sweetly. It's one of the best things in the new Mini Catalog!

I colored the cake with Blends markers in Petal Pink, Pool Party and Mint Macaron. The greeting is stamped in Smoky Slate. Note the addition of the Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon!

The Parisian Blossom DSP, Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon are all included in this month's Cards kit to go. Click here to get the details on it. Or message me at lagreff60@gmail.com

Beautiful but quick cards with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More card pack

May 15, 2024

I shared this card on last week's FB live video. It starts out with the Thoughtful Journey Memories & More cards and a Basic White Memories & More card base.

Save

I scored the blue card and the front half of the card base in half. Then added a few short pieces of card stock behind the front layers so that layer pops up.

Save

The size of these pieces do not matter at all. Some people use one thicker piece on each side; I used two thin pieces. It allows the top layer to move independently from the front of the card. See how it's done in this video.

Save

You can see these Memories & More cards here. They come in a pack of 28 – half are 3 X 4" and the rest are 4" X 6". They fit our Basic White Memories & More card bases and envelopes perfectly. They're also a great way to create larger than our usual cards – 4 1/4" X 6 1/4" finished size.

I made more beautiful cards with these products, adding a bit of twine to some along with a few printed greetings from the Saying Something Ephemera pack.

Save

You can see the Saying Something Ephemera pack here. It's FULL of tons of greetings you can just add to a card or scrapbook page. I was thrilled when I saw these in the catalog. They're a perfect solution for quick crafting.

Save

Sometimes you want or need to be able to make quick cards; these items are a wonderful way to do that!
