Bundle Focus Program

Everyone should have received the new annual catalog (May 2021-April 2022) by now.  Here is one of the sets from this awesome catalog.  It is “Hand-Penned Petals” and is from the Suite, Hand Penned, pgs 104-105.  You will want to buy the entire suite because there is so much you can do with it.  In addition, you can get the entire suite for 10% off.  Or you can buy just the bundle of stamps & dies, also with a 10% discount.  Hope you like this and you can find it here. 

On this card, I used the Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards & Envelopes, pg 127, to design this sample.  It is a little larger than our normal A2 size and that is why I like it.  I used the matching dies to cut out the image on the front of the card and I also used the NEW Scalloped Contour dies, pg 158 to cut out the DSP and the basic white CS.  Colors I used were Cinnamon Cider, Garden Green and Mint Medley.

And as I promised yesterday, the remainder of cards I recently made with the Flowering Cactus Stamp set and Matching Dies found on pgs 8-9 of the MC. Card Stock Colors I used on these samples were Basic White & Mossy Meadow & Highland Heather & Pear Pizzazz CS.

Most of the time I sell all my retiring stamp sets and dies.  However, this one is a keeper.  So if you are interested in owning this versatile set, go here to order, because you only have through June and then it is gone!

Today and Tomorrow, I will be featuring the Cactus Medley found on pg 8-9 of the MC.  I love this set and have to admit, it is my favorite in the entire Mini Catalog.  Unfortunately for me, it is retiring at the end of June and NOT being carried over to the new catalog.

If you are interested in purchasing this, you must do it before it retires.  I recommend it for versatility and beauty.  I purchased both the Product Medley 154559 and the Refill Kit 155400.  What you see in these samples, are cards I made from the refill kit.  Of course, I did use the Stamp Set and Dies from the medley, but I just wanted to give you an idea of how many cards AND decorated envelopes you can design with just the Refill Kit supplies.  They are identical from the Medley except for the stamp & Dies.

I also have a ton of supplies left from the refill kit where I can make at lease a dozen more cards.  You have to supply your own card stock but you have several colors to choose from.  I tried to use each for my samples.  CS colors in this group are Whisper White, Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron, and Highland Heather.  There are a Ton of die-cut felt pieces that you can use and plenty of that gorgeous linen thread.  Although, I guess what I loved the most is the pack of DSP, some of which can be cut out with the matching dies.

I love this set and sorry to see it is retiring.  So if you want to get it you must do it before it retires, in June.  The Name of the set is “Shark Frenzy” and can be found on page 46 of the MC.  I used Highland Heather CS for the base card and The shimmery DSP Which I embossed with the 3D Folder, Seabed on pg 185 in the AC. That is also retiring.  Colors I used were highland heather and Gorgeous grape.  I colored the BG with Mint Macaron.

If you were in one of my clubs this month, you would have gone home with this card. I designed this card with the set “Welcoming Window” found on pg 58 of the MC.  You can get this set for 10% discount by purchasing the bundle stamp set & Dies before June 2021.  It is a very versatile set that you can do so much with it.  This is being carried over to the new annual catalog but the bundle discount will not apply in the new catty.

I used Basic white for the base card and layered with Calyso Coral and the In Good taste DSP, pg 148AC.  I am happy to say it is being carried over to the new catty.  WOOT! WOOT!  The shutters are also made with that same paper.  I used Old Olive and Calypso Coral for the flowers and Basic Black for the shutter brackets and the flower pot.  Hope you like it!

I have made so many different cards from this set and I hope you like them.  “Flowering Cactus can be found on pg 8-9 MC.  Remember if you want this you only have till the end of the Mini Catalog to purchase it, June 2021.  This card is made with Highland Heather and Mint Macaron CS and the base card is whisper white.  I cut the DSP out with the dies.  I used the natural linen Thread and Highland heather felt embellishments on the front of the card.

This is a beautiful set that will carry over to the new catalog in May 2021.  However, the discount on the bundle or the suite will not be carried over so you have until June 2021 to get that discount.  The name of the set is “Hydrangea Haven” and this suite can be found on pgs 18-20 MC.  I used Whisper White for the base card and Highland Heather for layering, along with Hyrangea Hill Mercury Glass DSP.   I used the Granny Apple blends for the Leaves and the Highland Heather ink Pad for the flower by stamping off.

I used the Stitched Rectangle Dies, pg 183AC.  This is a beautiful set and worth getting as one of your stand bys.  Go here to purchase.

I am so glad they are not retiring this set “Hey Birthday Chick” pg 52 MC.  Right now before the new catalog comes out in May you can get a 10% discount on the bundle with set and dies.  The base card is crumb cake and the background is whisper white CS.  I also used So saffron, Real Red  & Pear Pizazz CS.  Blends were Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, So saffron, Mango Medley, and Soft Suede.  I used Seaside Spray and Crumb Cake ink pads for sponging.  Go Here to purchase before price goes up.

On this card, pg 8-9 MC, I used Whisper White background and Mint Macaron for the background. I added the DSP and cut the images out with the matching dies.  I also added the die cut felt images to the top of the cactus.  So easy when you can use everything in the product medley for as many cards as you want.  This Medley is only available until June, 2021, so if you want this, please make sure you order before then.  See here.

This card was designed using the DSP from the suite found on pg 21-34.  The base card is Smokie Slate, and the inside insert is Whisper White CS.  The background is DSP and so is the insert square.  I have also used Pretty Peacock, So saffron for layering.  The sentiment is from the set “Sweet Strawberry”.  I cased this card from Ms. Tessman’s video, sorry I do not remember her full name.  I just used different colors.  Thank you for your inspiration Ms Tessman.

The name of this set is “Ride the Range”, pg 68 of the MC.  I used Cinnamon Cider for the base card, Whisper White, and Copper foil paper.  The fence is Early Espresso and the bales are Soft Suede, background is crumb cake and the sky is Seaside Spray.  This set also contains the dies which I used to cut out some of the mages.  Right now until June 2021 you can get this bundle at 10% off the original price.  In addition, this set is retiring so if you want it you need to get it soon before it sells out.  Go here to order.

I love this Product Medley, page 8-9 MC.  The set is called “Flowering Cactus” and contains matching dies, DSP embellishments and 2 colors of linen thread.  It is soooooo awesome!  You will see that I have made several cards from this set.  In fact, I loved it so much that I also bought the refill kit, so I could make as many as I wanted, of the same designs.

Look for more samples on my blog.  The colors in the kit are Calypso Coral, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow,  Pear Pizzazz and white.

What you will love about this product medley is that the DSP contains images that can be cut out with the matching dies, such as the beautiful cactus and flowers below.

The name of this set is “Shark Frenzy” and can be found in the MC on page 46.

The base card is Smokey Slate, and the Ombre DSP is from SAB, no longer available.  It has Matching dies, and right now until June 2021, you can get this as a Bundle and save 10%.

This is one of my all time favorites.  It is from the “Sand & Sea” Collection found on pg 40-42 in the MC.  On this card I embossed the Pearlescent Paper with the 3D Seashells Embossing Folder, and layered it on Flirty Flamingo CS, as the base of the card.

I cut out the starfish, Sand dollar, and shells with the dies and used Soft Suede and Flirty Flamingo inks to color them.  I finished off the front with the Whale of a Time Sequins, pg 158 AC.  Sentiment is stamped in Soft Suede on Very Vanilla CS and die cut from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, pg 179 AC.  Just love this card!  Go here to see more.

This is an old set SU, “Hey Chick”, brought back along with new dies, to pair with the matching set, “Hey Birthday Chick”, pg 52 MC.  I am so thrilled about this.  I remember it so well and that I loved it.  I am sure if you go way back in my archives you will see cards I created with this set.

Colors I used were Mango Melody, Old Olive, Cinnamon Cider, Real Red, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Seaside Spray.  Images are stamped in Memento Black Ink.

I love this stamp set, “Welcoming Window”, pg 58 MC, because you can do so much with it.  It has the matching dies if you want to save 10% and get the bundle.  On this card I used the 3D Embossing folder, Brick & Mortar, pg 184 AC and shaded it in Blushing Bride Ink by rolling the color on the EF.  I used Sahara Sand CS to die cut the shutters for the window and also rolled the dies in Smokey Slate Ink.

The other colors I used were Rococo Rose, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow and Cinnamon Cider.  The front is layered on Basic Black Card Stock and the base card is Blushing Bride.  I embellished the front with Pearls colored with Rococo Rose Blends.

 I created this card from the SAB set “Darling Donkeys”, pg 4 of the SAB catty.  I used crumb cake, Ivory, Poppy Parade, Old Olive, Smokey Slate and Gray Granite Blends to color.  I used Whisper white, Crumb Cake and Basic Black Card Stocks. Images are stamped in Memento Black Ink.

I love this stamp set, “Woodland Wonder”.  I have taken the sample in the catalog and copied it onto this card.  The card base is Pool Party.  You can see this set and card on page 53 MC.  I changed it around a little from the sample shown.  You can see this and other products here.

Another club card made with the “Sweet Strawberry” bundle, pg 44 MC.  The DSP, is Berry Delightful, pg 14 SAB.  The Blends I used were Poppy Parade and Garden Green.  You can get the set and the matching punch at a discount if you buy the bundle.  All of the berries and flowers are cut with the Strawberry Builder Punch.

I used Pacific Point for the sentiment and the Champagne Rhinestones for the embellishment on the flower.  Stitched Rectangle dies were used to cut out the DSP and the Whisper White CS for the sentiment.  You can see these products here.

From the suite, Fine Art Floral, pg 32-34, you will find some of the most creative items on these pages.  The stamp set “Art Gallery” contains not only beautiful flowers but incredible sentiments.  It hits on just about anything you want to say to someone.  Almost all of the products on this card are found in this suite, including the Gilded Leaf Embellishment.  To see them all go here.  So beautiful.

The front of the card is cut from the DSP, Fine Art Floral, and stamped with Veramark ink on the big blooms.  Then after adding Heat & Stick powder to the versamark and heating it with the Heat tool, pg 146 AC, I added the gilded leafing.  I took a sheet of WW CS and lined all the edges with Tear & Tape Adhesive, pg 162 AC.  After removing the tear & tape I layered the Gilded leafing on the adhesive.  I then ran it through with the embossing Folder, Tasteful Texture 3D, pg 185 AC.  The base card is Merry Merlot CS.  Ribbon is from the suite Fine Art, and the die in back of the sentiment is from the Tasteful Labels, pg 179 AC and is on Merry Merlot CS.

If you were in one of my clubs this is one of the cards you would have made this week.  The stamp set is “Simply Succulents”, pg 39, MC.  This is one of the most beautiful sets with matching dies that I have seen in SU catalogs.  I am blown away by all the dies in this bundle.  Go here to see them all.

I embossed on whisper white CS the Painted Texture 3D EF, pg 33 MC, after rolling the inside with Gray Granite ink.  I stamped the images in Memento Black ink on WW CS and the planter on Very Vanilla.  I used the Blends: Pool Party, Cider Cinnamon, and Mint Macaron.  The base card is Pool Party.

This is another suite of Products available in this mini catalog.  The Stamp set is “Friends are like Seashells”, pg 40-42.  I created this card by embossing Whisper White CS with the Embossing Folder, Seabed 3D, pg 185 AC, and used the Seaside Spray ink pad to smear on this background.

I embossed the Seashells Embossing Folder, also on Whisper White CS.  I used the die to cut out the entire embossed design.  I then colored the shells and seaweeds with Blends; Petal Pink, Highland Heather, Soft Suede, So Saffron, Granny Apple Green and Pear Pizzazz.  I used the a die from Stitched So Sweetly, pg 179 AC, on whisper White CS, to print the sentiment in Soft Suede ink. The card stock for the base card is Misty Moonlight.
