Spring Catalog display boards

I thought I'd share some of my display boards featuring Spring Catalog products.  I've heard back that you enjoy these so here you go…..

First up is the Hot Air Balloon and Bee My Valentine projects:

Remember that many of these are swaps and are not made by me. I like to group cards together that use the same stamp set or designer paper. 

Here is the Hot Air Balloon dies display.  See the Hot Air Balloon bundle here.

Next is the Perennial Lavender suite plus the Hills of Tuscany stamp set on the lower left.

Here's a close-up of the Perennial Postage dies I put together.  These are fabulous! See them online here.

Next is the Nature's Sweetness suite that features two bundles!

Below is the die display I created that is part of the Notes of Nature bundle seen here.

Below is the Lovely & Sweet dies display; see that bundle here.

• Beautifully Happy; a perfect set for some quick cards

  February 16, 2023

  ---

  I needed a bunch of thank you cards for online orders and quickly made this set of cards: 

  Save

  The pretty Beautifully Happy stamp set (Sale-a-Bration and free with a $100 order) is so easy to work with!  It has outline images AND coordinating 'fill in' images that make it super simple to add color where you want it.  And they're Distinktive images too!  This means they give multiple hues of color tones with one stamping.  And I love the greetings too.  

  Save

  I used the Good Things cards & envelopes for these cards. They were available last month for Paper Pumpkin subscribers, but they're sold out now.  I love using coordinating products!  I added a 3" X 5 1/2" piece of Design a Daydream Host DSP to each card.  I think the lattice look works wonderfully with this flower image. 

  Save

  The greetings are made with our Double Oval punch; white & Mossy Meadow.  You can see this pretty stamp set here. 

  Remember that if you order $100 this set is free!  And if you use a host code below you'll get a free package of Milky Dots in your thank you card.

• Awash in Beauty & Dainty Flowers for fast pretty cards!

  February 15, 2023

  ---

  I ran out of thank you cards for online orders and needed some made fast.  I reached for our pretty designer papers and made these 11 cards in less than an hour!  

  Save

  Each piece of designer paper is 3" X 5 1/2". I used Dainty Flowers Sale-a-Bration DSP and Awash in Beauty paper from the Annual catalog.

  From one sheet of 12 X 12" paper this card design gave me 8 card fronts!  They are adhered to the Good Things cards & envelopes. They are unavailable now, but they were an addon product for Paper Pumpkin subscribers in January.  *It pays to be a Paper Pumpkin subscriber to get these great add-ons!  Get a pre-paid subscription here

  I had a bunch of white pre-cut & punched greeting labels and simply stamped the thank you on them (greeting from Thanks a Bunch SAB carrot set).  Then I grabbed more 'extra' items I had on my desk and embellished each card.  Some have ribbons, punched leaves or flowers and embellishments.  It was fun to add on these extras.

• In the Country; which do you prefer? ‘Color’ or Black & White? Video & cool tip!

  February 14, 2023

  Happy Valentine's Day!  

  I should be sharing a Valentine card today, but I sent them out to my family last week before I took photos! Sheesh! Here's one by Stampin' Up! using the Love for You bundle; you can see it on page 11 of the Spring Catalog.

  Save

    

  Here are a few more cards featuring the In the Country stamp set from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  It's free with any $50 purchase in February.  See it here. 

  I shared multiple ways to use this set and options for coloring too.  I know many people do not want to color every bit of a scene like this. So I shared a variety of alternate card ideas like this one shown here.  

  Save

  On the colored version above I simply used my Blending Brushes with Granny Apple Green & Balmy Blue.  Simple but effective.  After coloring I cut the scene out with a Stitched Rectangle die.  I used the 5th from the largest for the scene and the 2nd from the largest for the outside of the White layer. 

  Here's another set of cards.  I used Blending Brushes for most of the color – Balmy Blue & Sahara Sand. I did add a bit of Dark Calypso Coral to a few areas with a Blends marker.  

  Save

  The greetings are from the Sending Support stamp set.  This set can be seen here and is also free with a $50 purchase from Stampin' Up! through February of 2023.  

  For the greeting die-cut I used a die from the Potted Succulents dies seen here.  I changed the size of this die by cutting it once and then again to make it shorter.  I get a lot more use of my dies this way!

  Save

  Which do you prefer?  Color or no color?  

  See the other set of cards I shared yesterday here.
