Soft Suede, Poppy Parade and Pool Party

Such a lovely combo that I never would have paired if it weren't for the Sale-A-Bration designer series paper. This paper is so pretty! I can't put it down and I want to use it on every project I make. I have a card sample for you today that is a variation on one I already did. I have stopped putting greeting onto my card samples as I never have the right one when I need it. I just put my verse on when I am ready to send my card. Supplies: Stamp set: Fresh Vintage Paper: soft suede, pool party and whisper white cardstock; everyday enchantment dsp (SAB only) Ink: soft suede Accessories: decorative label punch, 3/4" circle punch, blossom punch, clear buttons, white bakers twine, and dots embossing folder. This box was adapted from Mary Fish , who got it from another demo, who got it from another demo :). I tweaked it a bit on the lid measurements but everything else is the same. The candies were wrapped using the dsp. My tag was made with the Labels framelits die. My

Designer Cuts Box

Image
I am in love with the NEW Designer Cuts cards in the Occasions Mini, if you have been to any of my classes in the last month you will have gotten to use them. They are so elegant and quick. Well, this sweet box here was made with a single Designer Cuts card.  I personally love it when the products I buy are good for many other uses. So to get on with it here is what you do. Open up your Designer cuts card and lay it down on your Simply Scored board with the line running the same way as the scores. I made a score line 1/2" from the center line on either side. So you will have a total of 3 lines.  Next turn your card 90 degrees and score it at 1" on both sides. You will then cut slits for your tabs from the outside in at the box bottom up to the lines that you just scored. Your box should look like the picture here. The box then folds up. I added a piece of designer series paper on the inside laser cut side before I assembled my box. You can assemble your box with sticky stri

My MDS card

Here is a quick card I put together using the My Digital Studio. It features all Sale-A-Bration products. I was able to get all of these on a disc as my FREE item with a $50 order. Now I can print this card at home or I can print it through SU!, or even through an online printing place. I know many demonstrators who just print these up at home quick and easy. Same as you would photos. I personally have only used non-SU online resources. I can print this through SU! by itself for $5.51, it was $1.95 for the card plus tax, S & H. Although the more you purchase the price goes down per card. You can get up to 25% off per card. Which is great for invitations or Holiday cards. Even a thank you set for a new bride or mom. HERE is the link to the pricing information. You can of course create this card using your own stampin' supplies.

Spotlight on Framelits

Image
I was hesitant about the *NEW* Framelits dies but they are my new favorite accessory, I can do so much with them and they make all of my cards look so "wow", with little effort I might add. The following two cards were done at my last Stamp Club meeting, if you don't belong to a Stamp club you are missing out ;). This card features products from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. We simply attached our dsp to the front and the cut out a "window" using the Labels framelits die, I love that you can place these anywhere on your card. We then cut another frame out of poppy parade to place inside. The lovely butterfly on the front is made using the blossom punch. To get a butterfly fold your blossom in half and trim it to leave only the wings of a butterfly.

Easel Calendar Card

Image
Here are two fun things I put together at Christmas this year. The card is an Easel card with the calendar applied to the front. These items feature products from the NEW Occasions Mini catalog. The easel part is held up with a brad and the flower is popped up. I also ran my flowers through my perfect polka dots embossing folder for added flair. For the book mark I stuck two flowers together using dimentionals and then strung the ball chain through. I then tied the pear pizzazz in between the two flowers so it gave the effect of leaves. Supplies: Stamp Set: Delight in Life (retired) and Fresh Vintage (SAB 2012) Paper: going gray, riding hood red, pear pizzazz and whisper white card stock; Twitterpated dsp Ink: riding hood red and going gray Accessories: perfect polka dote embossing folders, pear pizzazz seam binding, blossom punch, label punch, 3/4" circle punch and an In Color brad. I got the calendars and the ball chain online. Happy Stampin' Tricia
