Thanks a Bunch; a sneak peak of Sale-a-Bration

I joined several online swaps and challenged myself to play with the new Sale-a-Bration stamp set called 'Looking At You'.  It's all about carrots!

Here's what I came up with:

I paired it with the new Sale-a-Bration paper called Dandy Designs.  It's 12 X 12" and has 48 sheets.  It's free with a $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; January 5th – February 28th. 

When figuring out my card swap I came up with two different cards.  The left card is simple but shows off the images and DSP. The card below on the right is a fun fold card.

The center panel on the right card above and the card below slides up and down; I call it a Vertical Slider card.  It's not attached to anything but 'catches' on both sides of the center gatefold design with three circles or squares adhered to the back.  It's so easy!  Here's a link to the video on how to make it.

I decided to fussy cut one carrot on each card and pop it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  It took a little time to do 22 of them, but worth it in my opinion.

Here's a photo of all 22 cards I made for my swap.  I love the colors for the carrots – Mango Melody & Granny Apple Green – I think they're perfect for them.

    On last week's Live video I featured the Fragrant Forest stamp set. Trees are one of my 'go to' choices for card making; I like most botanical images though. I find them comforting and versatile and this large background stamp is truly beautiful.

    I kept my colors to White & Pretty Peacock. If you ever struggle with color combos try just one with White or Vanilla; they're usually quite beautiful. 

    Dies used here include the Countryside Corner dies (2023-24 annual catalog) & Forever Forest dies (2023 Holiday catalog) for the die-cut mountains on the bottom of the card . The greeting die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies; a definite must have! See the Fragrant Forest stamp set here.

    You might wonder just how I achieved the bottom half of this stamp on the inside of the card. Watch the video here. 

    I cut my stamp apart!

    Cutting your stamps can make them so much more versatile!  And they fit right back together on your block if you do want to use the entire stamp.  Try it!

  • How to get more use of your Fragrant Forest stamp; cut it up!

    I shared this pretty card in last week's Live video. I featured the Fragrant Forest background stamp set seen here in all 3 projects. 

    Fragrant Forest with Beary Cute Save

    Today's card also features the Beary Cute stamp set & punch. It was available in a bundle but unfortunately the punch has sold out now.  But the stamp set is still available. 

    I used Night of Navy with Mossy Meadow here. I stamped the entire White layer with the background stamp (watch the video with tips on getting even coverage with a background stamp) then cut the circle using the new Deckled Circle dies. I added it to a larger Navy Deckled circle die-cut which covered up the die-cut line from the first circle cut. 

    The bears were stamped in Balmy Blue ink but in hindsight I'd like them in a dark gray ink on White.  The lower strip for the greeting is torn.

    Are you wondering how I achieved the inside trees image without inking the entire stamp? Here's how!

    Fragrant Forest Beary Save

    I was trying to mask the stamp but it has lots of little pine needles between the tree layers.  It wasn't working so I thought, 'why aren't I trimming the stamp?'.  I have no problem doing it; it just isn't my first thought.  It works like a gem and makes it so much easier to use this pretty stamp set!

    Do you cut your stamps apart? I tend to do it with images that have a greeting with it. Or if I like part of a greeting and want to use it separately. Honestly they fit right back together when put onto your block.  It just makes sense!  I encourage you to try it.
