This is the neatest set, Celebrate Today found on page 11 of the OC. I used the DSP from SAB catalog (Best Year Ever, page 4) to go with it. I embossed in white, the balloons with a matching stamp and added Island Indigo with Coastal Cabana to deepen the color on the background. The balloons are cut out with the matching framelits, also found on page 11. You can get this stamp set and framelits at a 15% savings if you purchase the bundle. The DSP you can get FREE with a $50 purchase of merchandise before shipping and taxes.
I love this stamp set called Painted Petals, page 19 of the OC. It looks just like it was water colored. I used the DSP call Painted Blooms (same page) that is shown with this set. Some of the DSP actually is painted on the paper and can be used all by itself, it is so beautiful! I also used our new lacey Trim, Sahara Sand found on page 43. I think it gives this card a vintage look. Love it!
This set, Wood You Be Mine, is found on page 7 of the OC. It is so cool. I swear everyone has gone wild over this set. Of course you can use it for more than Valentine’s day. Father’s Day and Birthdays are also good choices. The DSP is from the paper stack called Adventure Bound found on page 40. Hope you like it!
This set has the best sentiments. You can find it on page 41 of the OC and the background paper, Adventure Abound paper stack on page 40. I also used the SAB set, You Brighten My Day, found on page 11 of the SAB catalog. There is a matching punch called “What’s Up”, perfect for punching out the house on page 222 of the AC.
Love Life! I love this stamp set. If you are into our Blendabilities or our Aqua Painters, you will love using this set. It is one of my favorites from the SAB collection and can be found on page 19. I used the new Washi tape, Stacked with Love found on page 5 of the OC. I used Night of Navy to color the bird. Just another set you can get FREE during SAB. Good through March 31, 2015.
I created this card using the stamp set on page 22 of the OC. There is so much you can do with this set. I have said this before but I love a stamp set that contains both images and sentiments. They are great for making a collection of all Occasion cards while you are traveling. A couple of clear blocks and some ink and you are good to go.
This is a really cool masculine card. I love this set on page 12 SAB, that you can get FREE with a $50 purchase. I used the Back to Black DSP and embossed with white embossing powder and then colored the embossed Celebrate with Pool Party Blendabilities. Hope you like it.
You can get this set, Best Day Ever, page 3 of the SAB catalog, or A Happy Thing, page 19 (SAB), FREE with a $50 purchase from any of our catalogs. Remember that when SAB is over, you will not be able to get these sets anymore, so if you want them, now is the time to get the ones you want.
I thought I would go outside the box on this one and make them into limes instead of lemons. I used the blendabilities, Old Olive and Wild Wasabi to color them. The background paper is Back to Black.
We made this card at my Wednesday morning Hostess club. Everyone loved it. This image is from the set “Hey, Valentine”, found on page 8 of the OC. I used the DSP, Back to Black, found in the Annual Catalog (AC). We colored this little guy with our Stampin’Write Markers. This is the coolest set if you have small children that need to have cards for their friends at school or to even for loved ones. I had some gold tiny beads left over from a project a few years back and added Crystal Effects to the gold in the trunk and then put the beads over it. Took about an hour to dry but I thought it was a cute effect.
Does this stamp remind you of one we used to have a couple of years back. Cannot recall the name of it but I remember I was disappointed when they retired it. So glad they have come back with a similar stamp set. I used the Cantaloupe Crisp ink and Early Espresso ink for this card. What really sets it off is the DSP background paper, Irresistibly Yours, found on page 15 of the Sale-A-Bration catalog (SAB). It is a type of resist paper that has lovely patterns for every event. I used the Brayer to roll the ink on the background and then used a paper towel to remove the ink that laid on the top of the resist.
This is one of the first sets I purchased from the new Occasions catalog (OC). You can find it on page 6 and the DSP is from Stacked with Love on page 5. I used Melon Mambo Ink and Black Mememto ink. Very simple card yet so pretty. What do you think?
I created this card from the same stamp set that I previously use, Hey Valentine, on page 8 in the SC. It is so stinkin’ cute. So easy to use with either Blendabilities, our markers, or our aqua painters. I love stamps that have good lined images so I can color them in myself. So much fun and wonderful therapy. I punched the image out with our Note Tag punch which is carried over from the HC. See page 49 for other items that have been carried over.
Isn’t this a pretty card? This set from the SC, page 26, can be purchased with the bundle and a 15% discount. The butterfly thinlit dies are awesome! You will flip over them. I certainly did. I didn’t use them on this card but keep posted as I will be using them soon. This set is the BOMB!
This card I created using the new set, From the Herd, found on page 15 of the SC. I made it for one of the ladies I do Water Aerobics with so we could all sign it. I think she will get a kick out of it and hopefully it will boost her spirits. She is going through Chemo so your prayers are welcomed.
Well if you have the new spring catalog (SC), you know this is one of the sets from that catalog. This is a great stamp set, not only for children but for adults. I used the blendabilities on this card and ran it through the embossing folder Decorative dots. This set can be found on page 8 of the SC.
I hope all my stamping friends have a wonderful and prosperous New Year.
I am really looking forward to all the new stuff SU has in this new SC. This set, Lotus Blossom, can be found in the Sale-a-Bration catalog. You cannot buy this set but you can get it FREE with a $50 purchase of merchandise from any of our current catalogs. This is kinda like a 3 step stamping and so much fun to play with. I tried all of our colors and it looks great with most of them. This is one of those stamps sets where you go from Dark to light, in stead of light to darker, like you did with our 2 step stamping.
Wishing y’all a blessed Christmas. If you are driving to be with loved ones, safe travels.
This is a little gift bag made with our new Mini Treat Bag framelits. You can find them on page 9 of the Spring Occasions catalog! I made this with our gorgeous wrapping paper found in the Holiday catty on page 10. This craft paper is so pretty and it’s reversible so you can stamp the other side if you prefer.
Again this is from the new catty. It is specifically an Easter Stamp set but you can use flowers for anything, right? I used our very new Blendabilities on this card. You will love our new colors. This is soft Sky, Wild Wasbi and Pink Pirouette inks. I also used our Oval Framelits on this card.
Just in case you got too busy to make and send out cards for Christmas, why not send them for New Years? This is a really cool set that we have had for a long time and can be found in the Annual catalog on page 135, Happy Hour. So versatile and can be used for a variety of events.
This is pretty much cased from the new catalog. If you have your new catalog already it is on page 12. The bows were made with our new bow punch. So easy and so much fun! Don’t you love this gorgeous DSP?
This is another card created from a stamp set from the new Spring catalog. You should have rec’d yours by now so you know how wonderful all the goodies are this catalog. It is my favorite so far. You will be able to start ordering from it on January 6th. In addition, you can start earning FREE Sale-A Bration items that day also. For every $50 you spoend you get to choose a stamp set or other item in the SAB catalog FREE! The sentiment on this card is a SAB stamp.
Sometimes I like to do Christmas in colors other than the normal red and green. I used Rose Red on this card, stamped the backgound and then embossed it with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder. I used the silver sequins and backed the image with Silver Foil paper which was also run through with the Chevron Embossing folder.
The stamp set is Bright and Beautiful found on page 25 in the HC and cut out with the matching star framelit dies found on page 231 of the AC. I finished it off with the Gorgeous All is Calm Snowflake embellishment found on page 22 of the HC. I added a Rose Red candy dot to the cent of the snowflake.
I love this set, Today and Everyday, found on page 168 in the big catalog. I used Blendabilities to color the image. In addition, I used our Banner punch and Candy dots to embellish an otherwise clean and simple card. Hope you like it!
I created this card with the New craft paper and Specialty Trim the Tree DSP found on page 5 of the Holiday catalog. I used the Burlap ribbon, the Natural Chevron ribbon, and the clothes pin embellishment, found on pages 205 and 207 of the AC. The Tree is stamped with the set, Festival of Trees and punched out with the matching punch found on page 24 of the HC. We are making this card in my Wednesday morning club today.
I embossed this card in white embossing powder and filled in the open areas with our White Stampin’Chalk Marker. Then I colored with Blendabilities. Very easy technique. The stamp is a background stamp, Corner Garden, and can be found on page 175 of the Big catalog.
When I first saw the new in-color Mossy Meadow, I was a bit turned off by it and was determined that there was no way I was ever gonna like this color. However never say never, because now that I have used it I am gaining a fondness for it. Here I used it as the base card and the DSP background paper. The image is from the stamp set Mingle all the Way, page 17 of the HC. I used the Stampin’Write Markers to color the sentiment. To finish it off I used the red satin woven ribbon and Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine. What do you think?
Again I used the new Kraft CS and embossed it with the Lucky Stars EF, page 30 of the HC. I love our new 12X12 Under the Tree Specialty DSP, page 5. So elegant and really adds another dimension to this card. I used the Linen Thread and the Cherry Cobbler Linen Ribbon. The tree was cut out of glimmer paper with the Tree Punch found on page 24. The star was punched out with the Itty Bitty Accents punch Pack, page 222 in the Big catalog.
,
I created this card with the stamp set Santa Stache, page 18 in the HC. I colored him with the Blendabilities and use the Dazzling Diamond Glitter paper for the mustache and the hat. The satin woven ribbon is found on page 15. I used the DSP Nordic Noel also on page 15. The sentiment is from Good Greetings.
When I first rec’d this Kraft card stock I didn’t much care for the feel of it. However, as I started to use it, I fell in love with the look. It is especially nice when used with embossing folders as in this card. I used the Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon and the Burlap ribbon together. In addition, I used the All is Calm Snowflake Embellishments found on page 22 of the HC and the Star framelits dies (pg 231) to cut the star out from the Festive Designer Kraft Rolls found on page 10 of the HC. This paper is so beautiful, you know I will be using it for all my gift wrapping this year.
This is a card I designed from this month’s paper Pumpkin. I used the Confetti Stars punch found on page 30 of the Holiday catalog, and added more Lost Lagoon card stock. The inside I decorated with the snowflakes that came with the kit. I love the sentiments that came with this kit.
With the Holidays coming up I tend to forget about the year round DSP, this case being Flashback, found on page 186 in the Big book. I love all of the colors in this DSP, so striking! Actually the card is more about the colors than anything else and that makes this a great all occasion card. What do you think?
A lot of Big shot items are used on this card, Autumn Accents Die page 232, and from the Holiday catalog, Feather Framelits dies, page 42 and Wonderous Wreath framelits, page 9. I used the baby wipe techniques with our re-inkers on this card.
Sentiment on this card is from the Holiday catalog, Mingle all the way, page 17. The background is from the Big Catalog, Hardwood, page 175 and the Autumn Accents die cut leaves are also from the Big catalog on page 232. Will be wrapping up the Thanksgiving cards and projects this week because we are getting down to the wire for purchasing supplies for that Holiday. You still have time but you have to hurry!
We made this at club last night. We also made 2 3D items, a shaker card and a Christmas Ornament for the tree. Great fun and so many laughs. Belonging to a club is fantastic! You not only get to make neat projects, on a monthly basis, but what really sets it apart is the life time relationships you develop by sharing what you love to do with others. I used the set Festival of Trees, page 24 of the Holiday catalog.
The sentiment is from Good Greetings. The feathers are cut out with the Feathers framelits dies found on page 42 of the Holiday catalog. I used the DSP from Typeset, Gold Soiree and gold foil card stock. I think this card is perfect for a man. What do you think?
