Earn this set and 50 others FREE during Sale-A-Bration!

flower for all seasons

 

This card is so quick and fun to make! I don’t know why the coloring looks so bad in this photo, but it is very vivid and pretty in real life. This is definitely one of those cards where the picture doesn’t do it justice.

A Flower for all Seasons is the set that I used. It is a great little set and it is one of the items you can get for FREE  with a $50 purchase during Sale-A-Bration!

Yes! The most wonderful time of year for stampers begins January 5th and runs through Mar 31st. This year, in addition to the fabulous exclusive products that you can earn during this event, you may also choose any set from the big catalog that is $15.95 or less. That gives you about 50 more sets to choose from! Isn’t that amazing?  Oooh, it is going to be the best Sale-A-Bration yet!

For this card I cut the window using the Movers and Shapers Bigz die and then embossed it with the Petals a Plenty folder and the Big Shot. The image was stamped and punched using the Curly Label punch and layered inside the card on a layer of Old Olive cut using the top note die.

Delightful Decorations

Today’s card is another simple card using the Delightful Decorations set. I love this striped paper from the Merry Moments DSP. I think this combo screams “festive”.

As I said, very simple. The leaves are die cut with the Big Shot and the ornament is stamped and punched. I used some Chunky Essentials mixed with Dazzling Diamonds for a snowy look on the leaves.

I love these little guys! For this card I used the Snow Buddies hostess set from the Holiday Mini Catalog.

I like this color combination and thought this felt ribbon (still available in the Clearance Rack in my online store) added a fun texture to the card. Speaking of texture, I mixed some chunky elements and dazzling diamond glitter to get the snowy look. I really like it.

The tag is from the Grateful Greetings set from the Holiday Mini. This is such a great sentiment set for this time of year! It is one of my Don’t Miss It picks from the mini catalog.

 OK, have I got a deal for you! I know that the hardest part of getting your Christmas cards stamped is gathering the materials and cutting out the layers. We all love sitting down and stamping when someone else has prepared the projects for us. So what if you could host a party where you get to earn free stuff  just for hosting and your guests get to go home with their Christmas cards all stamped and ready to go!?! This workshop is win,win for everyone!

So here are the details. These are the card designs that you will be doing at your workshop! You need to have a minimum of 7 guests who wish to stamp 25 cards  for $25 ( 5 stacks of 5 cards chosen from these 3 designs). All camp fees must be prepaid and as the hostess you will gather those ahead of time.

As hostess you will get to keep the following products that will be used at your stamp camp! Dasher Stamp Set, Patterned Pines Stamp Set, Delightful Decorations Stamp Set, 4 ink pads, 2 punches and other hostess goodies based on any additional outside orders that are placed with your stamp camp supply order.

You get to choose any date you like for your workshop, because all of the supplies will be included, so you don’t need to work around my schedule. There will be full color photograph instructions for you and your guests. You can choose an evening or all day event or even choose to spread the card making out over a couple of different sessions. This type of camp is perfect for out of town groups who can’t make it to my monthly stamp camp. You just need to have your prepaid camp fees collected at LEAST 10 days prior to your event. I will cut everything out for you and deliver it to you with all of the other supplies you will need for a fun filled stamp camp!

Spooky Sweet Treat

Sweet Centers

We made these fun little treats for stamp camp this month.  I am going to be making several of these for the kids that will be dropping by our house for Halloween.

They stamp up quickly and are fairly easy to put together. I found a quick way to make them that allows the little tricksters easy access to their  treats.

Sweet Centers

I stamped the image and cut it out and then punched the center out with the 13/4 inch circle punch. I then layered it onto the only orange card stock and punched the center again. This left an opening for the sweet treat cup.

Sweet Centers

I used the perforating blade on the cutting tool and made an X in the center of the card front. Then I adhered the punched out sentiment on the inside of the card.

sweet treat cups

Without removing the protective tape on the Sweet Treat cup, I placed it inside my stamped piece and centered it on the card front (without adhesive). While holding the cup in place, I removed the stamped piece and then marked  lines where I wanted to place the filled cup. Then just attach the stamped image over the cup. Lots of fun to make!

Ink: Rich Razzleberry Classic Ink and Green Galore marker
