So Very Sad!

 I'm SO very sad this Thank You stamp is only in the Sale-A-Bration!

I really love it, and have used it very often!  It will retire at the end of this month.  I hope you're able to take advantage of this free stamp!

 This card was made with 2 Sale-A-Bration items, and some specialty paper from the Occasions Catalog.
SO pretty!

Christmas Cards February 2017

This has to be one of my very favorite stamp sets.  I first saw this on Pinterest, so it's definitely a CASE.  I also made these last year.  I've started reusing ideas - I just love the cards so much!
 This is a stamp set (above) called Endless Wishes.  It's retired, but still available.  I place the stamps on my E block and check placement on copy paper....  Stamping then becomes a snap!

The yellow stars are from the Star Border punch.  I punched the top star out of a really small scrap of glimmer paper (Don't throw anything away!) 

 This is an older stamp set, and the Merry Christmas comes from a set that was out in 1991, but I LOVE IT!  I'll always use that one... it's so scrolly and pretty!  The only trick because of how it's trimmed is getting it straight!

 Here for the envelope I used the same stamp set as above, Endless Wishes, and put them on a smaller block.

Club Cards February, 2017

 I was again asked by my upline Kathy to cover our club in February.  Thank you, Kathy!  I always enjoy doing it, though it's a little stressing at the same time.  Will the ladies enjoy the cards?  Will they learn some new technique or tip from me?

I organized 3 cards for the evening, as well as having some samples available on a new SAB stamp set that came available in February.

 This card above comes from the current Occasions catalog from the Cool Treats bundle.  Such a fun card!


 The above two cards are half purchase items, and half Sale-A-Bration items!  I love the Sweet Sugarplum paper!  The contrasting sentiment is in Rich Razzleberry.  The lined DSP and Sugarplum glimmer paper are SAB items.  Here we also used the watercolor pencils and blender pens to add color the the DSP.

 I had been WAITING patiently for a stamp set with this sash over the cross!  It's such a great image, and message.  We used the aquapainters, and blender pens to color the sash.

 I had this card out on the counter as a sample of the newest release for SAB. I used a favorite color combination Kathy turned me on to awhile ago.  Thanks again, Kathy!  I've used it often (as you can see above).

Butterfly Birthday - Quick, Easy, and Stylish!

 I think this has to be the fastest card I've EVER put together!

I initially made 5 of them - when you begin stamping with Gorgeous Grunge, it's easy to just keep going for awhile!  Stamp the larger spots in Pool Party, then add a few splats of Melon Mambo.  Use Elegant Eggplant to stamp the Happy Birthday, and you're done stamping!

Die cut the butterfly using Elegant Eggplant card stock, and attach with a  few small pieces of dimensionals, but first, cut a length of Melon Mambo twine - about 6 inches.... and lock it to the paper with the dimensional pieces. Add a rhinestone, and you're finished!

 SO pretty!!

I might stamp up a few more of these and send them with Mom when she's here to visit. :)
