Oh So Ombre

Hello stampers!

I decided to take on the Oh So Ombre 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper that is available as a free Saleabration item today. But I couldn't decide which stamp set to use with it. So, I used a few of them. Take a look!

First, these papers are gorgeous! The ombre effect is so beautiful. And the four colors - Rococo Rose, Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, and Blackberry Bliss are perfect to showcase the effect!

For this Blackberry Bliss Card, I used the "bubble" design for the main panel and paired it with the birthday greeting from Aged To Perfection.

Bermuda Bay and the Darling Donkeys go together so well! And this card can be for any occasion you choose!

On this Rococo Rose card, I stamped the hummingbird image from A Touch of Ink to create the background. The greeting is from Heal Your Art.

Finally, the Granny Apply Green sympathy card uses the Corner Bouquet and Heal Your Heart stamp sets!

All the Designer Series Papers and stamp sets used for today's cards are Saleabration items. That means they are free with a qualifying purchase!

Are you ready to add these to your stampin' stash before they are gone for good on February 28? Click on any of the items below to place your order today! (You can always send your order to me to place on your behalf if you prefer!)

Aged To Perfection

Hello friends!

Happy Valentine's Day! Two weeks from today is the last day of Sale-a-bration. This week I'm going to take a look at the products you can get free with purchase through the end of the month.

Today I paired the Aged To Perfection stamp set and Flower & Field Designer Series Paper for a couple of cards.

Both are quick and easy layouts. The card on the right is a traditional style card. The card on the right is a little different twist. The inside of both are shown below.

Both the stamp set and the patterned paper are Level 1 items.

Friends Are Like Seashells

Hello friends,

I participated in a small swap as part of the virtual workshop I "attended" at the end of January. For our swap, each participant made 10 of the same card. (I make 11 so I can keep one for myself). We sent our cards into the swap coordinator and in return got back 10 cards made by other swap participants! This week I'll share the swap card I submitted as well as those I received.

My card features elements of the Sand & Sea Suite. To make my card I started with a card base of Seaside Spray. Next I added a panel, also Seaside Spray, and embossed with the Seashells 3D Embossing Folder. To a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock, I added 4 - 1 inch strips of Sand & Sea Designer Series paper. After adding Linen Thread wrapped around the panel and tied in a bow, I attached the panel with Dimensionals. The greeting, from the Friends Are Like Seashells stamp set, is stamped in Seaside Spray. I added a sand dollar from the same stamp set stamped in Sahara Sand and stamped off once as a background. The greeting panel was die cut with a die from the Tasteful Labels Dies.
