Sale-a-Bration for Men

-
This was not a set of stamps I thought I would use much and yet it is the first of my Sale-a-Bration sets I have used. Definitely appropriate for men, although the Wild Wasabi one would also be suitable for women. The ribbons are retired, but you could used some of our striped designer series paper in its place.

You Mean Everything to Me

As much as I prefer scanning my cards over photographing them, I find there are some disadvantages. My little banner that is stamped with "you mean everything to me" loses the 3D look as it gets flattened by the cover of the scanner. Kyla and I were just playing around with ideas while she was visiting (did I mention, she's my new recruit?) and this was one of the cards I designed. Gathering the ribbon slightly, cutting out the heart image and folding and trimming the "banner" across the heart meant a little extra fussing, but I really like the result. When I was all finished with the card, I decided to add a little sparkle by spraying it with a mixture of Champagne Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol. If you look closely, you can see some of the sparkle that added to the card, including the ribbon. When you actually hold it in your hands, you can see the glittery shimmer much more easily. Although I'm thinking about Valentine's Day, this card is not exclu

The Christmas Quilt bundle has so much versatility! I'm still using the Blooms & Bliss designer paper from last year's catalog as I design these cards. Today's post uses different designs from the pack from Saturday's post. Once again you can see the variety acquired using the same papers. The greetings on both these cards, as on so many others, come from the Best Birds stamp set. I love the fonts and arrangements of the word stamps in that set.  Products Used:  Best Birds photopolymer stamp set (13), 141525, $21.00 Quilt Builder Framelits Dies (15), 144673, $30.00 Quilt Top 6" x 6" Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, 144687, $8.50 Blooms & Bliss 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, discontinued Mint Macaron 8-1/2" x 11" card stock, discontinued Island Indigo 8-1/2" x 11" card stock (24), 122923, $8.00 Whisper White 8-1/2" x 11" card stock (40), 100730, $9.00 Island Indigo Baker's Twine, disco

Easter Daffodils

"You're Inspiring" stamp set is perfect for Easter or Mother's Day or sympathy or almost any occasion. With Easter approaching, that holiday was the obvious choice. This card uses two Sale-a-Bration items as well as the "You're Inspiring" stamp set from the Occasions Catalog: the Basket Weave embossing folder and the Springtime Foils Specialty dsp. And of course I used the Stampin' Blends! I'm wondering if I'll ever use my markers, now that I have experienced the 3D effects of our blends that also allow me to color with no streaks. Unless you have the Springtime Foils dsp, you may not realize that the leaves on this sheet are not green.  You can color this glossy paper with metallic designs using your Stampin' Blends, which is what I did here. Products used: You're Inspiring rubber stamp set (8), W 145805, $27.00; C 145808, $19.00 Daffodil Delight 8-1/2" x 11" card stock (24), 119683, $8.00 Old Olive 8-1/2" x
