I can honestly say that this set, Howl-0-ween Treat, page 49, is one of my favorite sets in the entire Holiday catalog. What I love about it are the matching framelits dies that you can buy with it. Of course it can be bundled so you can save 15% on both items. How much fun making cards with these and we do not have to fussy cut. THe embossing folder is to die for and you can find that on page 39. That is also part of a bundle too where you can save on both the stamp set that is paired with it. You will see that set in tomorrows post. Everything in this new catalog is sooooo awesome, I had trouble trying to select which ones I had to have. Hard decision!
This set Vintage Leaves has framelits to go with it. You can find it on page 88 of the AC. On this card I used watercolor paper for the leaves. I found it works the best with this stamp set although you could use regular paper. I just like the texture of the water color paper. The colors I used were Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Tangelo Twist and Real Red. The sentiment is from Trust God, page 24. In addition, I used the corrugated paper for the background.
Best buy is the bundle where you get 15% off regular price if you buy both framelits and the stamp set.
The image on this card is from Skating By, page 44 in the new AC. There are so many really cool images in this set, I can’t wait to use them all. I cut the balloons out of colored card stock with the dies from Cutie Pie Thinlits, page 171. I added linen thread and used Pacific Point CS for my base card. I used our markers to color the image.
From what I have heard from everyone, customers and fellow demonstrators, is that this in color is going to be missed the most, and I agree. If you look back at some of my past posts you will see that I used this color a lot. Here I used it in a baby card with the set, Something for Baby, page 74 of the AC and the matching framelets, Baby First. We can all breathe a sign of relief because both of these items are being carried over to the new catalog, soon to be released on June 2nd.
Some of my favorite new In-colors are Blackberry Bliss and Hello Honey. I am so glad they will be around for another year. Although I am sorry to see our beautiful pastel in-colors leave I am excited to see what the new year will bring. I used the stamp set Four Feathers with the matching framelits, both carried over from the HC. See page 49 of the OC. I colored the gold button with Crumb cake Blendabilities and used Linen twine for my bow.
I really like Pink Pirouette and Sahara Sand together. I used the berry Basket and cut just one part of it out to create this card. I used the set From the Garden, page 20 OC, and the Handpicked Framelits, same page. I used the DSP, Something Borrowed. I punched all the flowers out with various punches and embellished them with both Candy Dots and Rhinestones. I filled in with the incolor sequins. Hope you like it.
You can purchase this set and the framellits as a bundle and get 15% off. That price is good through June 2nd.
You guessed it, this is the little Baby Bumblebee, missing the wings and antenae (page 39 OC). Don’t you just love this card? Shelli our Co-Founder of SU created this card for Leadership and I pretty much cased the whole thing off the video. I did have to change a few things around only because I didn’t have everything she used, but I think it came out stinkin’ cute anyway. I also did the little girl because I didn’t want you to think that I had preferences to either sex. LOL
The DSP and the buttons are Sweet Dreams and can be found on page 39 of the OC. Colors used were Lost Lagoon and Crisp Cantaloupe with Sahara Sand.
This is the first year that I missed Leadership since I became a Manager. I love to be there in person because you learn so much at these events.
This set called ‘Amazing Birthday’ is another set that we got FREE at convention. It is so versatile. You can use either punches or framelits with this card. I love the sentiments. If you are one of those crafters that surf the net for ideas, then I am sure you have seen a ton of cards made with this set. The DSP is from All Abloom paper stacks found on page 185.
