But remember these Sale-a-Bration items are only available while supplies last. Already they are out of TWO choices in the Sale-a-Bration catalog. The Rings of Love 12" DSP and the Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes. So if you have something from the SAB catalog on your wish list; get it soon!

What an amazing scene Amanda created here! So many details! I especially appreciate that she colored her hippo in Pool Party; who says they have to be gray?

Her background is made with the Rays of Light stamp seen here. The rest is all Sale-a-Bration items. Her colors include Pool Party, White, Crumb Cake & Crushed Curry

She stamped the greeting from Amazing Phrases and fussy cut it, placing it between 'waves'. She added Wink of Stella to her water. The little splashes of water & the life preserver truly make this scene complete!

One of my favorites was made by Gwen. The way she added ribbon for a 'towel' on the silver/metal tub is genius!!

Kelly created a cute scene mostly with the Hippo dies. Her colors are Smoky Slate, Real Red & Balmy Blue. The little water splash die-cuts add motion to the scene!

Mary, one of my Flowerbug team members, made this cute card for her Card Club this month. She used a blending Brush with Flirty Flamingo ink for a soft background. The lights and bow at the top are from the Tree Lot dies in the Sale-a-Bration catalog. See them here.

This cute card was made by Amy Storrie. I love the sunglasses! The other neat thing she did was to use the Hippo dies along with the Stitched Circle in the Beautiful Shapes dies so they match up perfectly! Her Designer Paper is the Cottage Gingham in the Holiday catalog.

You can see the Hippest Hippos stamp set here and the Hippo dies here. Get them both free with a $100 online order and you'll also receive my free July cards kit! Offer good through Saturday, July 30th.

Sweet Citrus; in a Lime version too!

March 10, 2023

The Sweet Citrus bundle can make any citrus fruit you'd like. I've even seen people make coconuts!

I've shared three other cards featuring oranges, grapefruit and lemons but today I'm sharing my 'Lime' version.

Save

I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Starry Sky, Parakeet Party and Granny Apple Green. I cased it from a card made by Maheswari Rajaguru. I think these colors are stunning together.

That pretty texture on the card front is made with the new Basic Embossing Folders 3D seen here. They're in a 3 pack and in our Online Exclusives product line seen here.

Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once? You can use the dies and folder separately as well but together it's faster and saves a step.*Watch in the video below to see how it's done.

Save

I also show how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus. Perfect every time!

Here's a photo of the inside:

Below is a photo of all 4 cards I shared in my recent video featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle. Oranges, limes, grapefruit and lemons! This bundle is a true gem!
