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.

She used two new In Colors; Misty Moonlight with Just Jade. The stamps are distinktive and the die-cuts in the Forever Flourishing dies are incredible! I love the touch of vellum she added.

Marilyn made this pretty card using the Posted For You stamp set. This one coordinates with the new Rectangular Postage punch.

Flowers for Every Season & more!

July 28, 2020

Here are more of our Flowerbug Team swap cards featuring the new In Colors.

First is a card made by Mary with the Flowers for Every Season designer paper in Just Jade.

Save

Sweet & Simple letting the designer paper be the star of the card. The greeting is from So Sentimental and the die-cut is from Stitched So Sweetly.

Next is a card by Paula using the Tasteful Labels dies and the Flowers for Every Season paper also.

Save

What a fun layout! Can you see that wonderful texture on the Vanilla layer? That's the Tasteful Texture 3D embossing folder. The circles and greeting are all from the die-cuts from the Tasteful Labels set of dies.

Next is a pretty sunflower card made by Jane. She used the In Color 6 X 6" paper for the solid part of the sunflower.

Save

The greeting is from the Celebrate Sunflowers. Order the stamp set with these dies in a bundle at 10% savings. Love these delicate dies!

Tip: Did you know that almost all of our dies are now thinner and cut better? They reformulated them with the last few catalogs so they cut beautifully. It's not a struggle to get them out of the dies like it used to be. However I've found that if I do a bunch of the same at a time, I do use a piece of waxed paper every 5 die-cuts and that sure makes a difference!
