In my neck of the woods, March has arrived like a lamb - sweet and uneventful! I sure hope that doesn't mean it's going out like a lion in a few weeks!
Today also marks the beginning of Stampin' Up!'s new Online Exclusives!
There are several fun new products (check out the new Basics 3D Embossing Folders) and even some returning favorites (yes, the 1-3/4" and 2" punches are back)!
Place a minimum $50 online order with me between March 1 - 31, 2023 and I will send you a free card kit to make 4 cards. The cards will be from the Irresistible Blooms bundle (an online exclusive bundle). You will receive all the supplies for the cards, the pdf's with all measurements and instructions, and a pack of coordinating embellishments! I'll share more about the March Thank You Gift during an upcoming Facebook Live. (If you don't follow me on Facebook, do so soon! https://www.facebook.com/GetInkyWithMelanie ). Replays for my Lives are also uploaded to my YouTube channel, https://bit.ly/YouTube_MelanieCoverston.
Here's a card I made using products from the beautiful Irresistible Blooms. (Yes, this card will be part of the March thank you!)

It's been a hot minute since I created a post. So to my wonderful blog readers, thank you for hanging with me! I'm going to try to do better going forward! (But if you don't already follow me on Facebook, please do so: https://www.facebook.com/GetInkyWithMelanie)
If you are reading this post on Tuesday, February 28, we're on the very last day of Saleabration 2023, and you have only a few more hours to snatch up those freebies. If you are reading this post on Wednesday or later, Saleabration is gone, so read on....
The Queen Bee bundle (#160485) from the January-April Mini Catalog is quickly becoming a customer favorite item. It's easy to see why - the elements are perfect for creating gorgeous cards! (The dies are currently out of stock, but are expected to be available again by mid March). I used that bundle for this birthday card.
If you would like to make this card yourself, a free tutorial is available by clicking the photo above.

It's Taco Fiesta time for today's fun birthday card! Taco Fiesta (160732) is a new stamp set available in the 'spring mini' catalog. It is chock full of fun Mexican food images. And since our family loves Mexican food, this set was a must have for me! Here's a look at today's card:
To make my card, I started with a Real Red card base and added a layer of So Saffron card covered in chips stamped in Crumb Cake ink and colored with So Saffron Stampin Blends. I stamped the guacamole image in Tuxedo Black on Basic White card stock and colored the image with Stampin' Blends. On a scrap piece of So Saffron card stock I stamped and colored a single chip. After cutting out the chip, I stamped the guacamole bowl at the bottom of the chip and snipped it away. The remaining chip was layered onto the guacamole and secured with a drop of Tombow. I die cut the oval Basic White cardstock oval and Real Red frame with Framed Florets dies. Before adding to the card front, I added three strips of card stock across the middle.
