14 days left of Sale-A-Bration!

One of my book club girls is in the hospital and I just got word today that her surgery went really well! The girls are chomping at the bit to visit and see for themselves but in the meantime, I've whipped out a "GET BETTER SOON" card inspired by a scrapbook page, created by Linda W.

I did mix some old (retired DSP) with some new (in colours) but all the punches, stamps and inks are all current.

This is a 5.5" x 8.5" card kiwi kiss card stock
Pirouette Pink, trimmed to 5"x 7.5" with 3" circle cut out and scalloped punched bottom edge. Very Vanilla 2.75" circle (used the "scrap" pieces from these on the inside of the card) stamped with Love you much and Friend to Friend from the Love you much stamp set (Item #113756).

I also used Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla 3/8" Satin Ribbon (item # 111879) and fire circle brads (item # 109110) on the flowers I punched out using my 5 petal flower punch (item # 109041) and boho blossoms punch (item # 110711) and added brightly coloured hearts using the heart to heart punch (item # 113694). I used left over pieces of retired DSP to embellish and accent my card.

I really liked how this card turned out and I think I will use this lay out again!

What do you think?? What are you waiting for - try it yourself! I'd love to see your interpretation of this lay out on a card of your own! Go on, get your gear and give it a go!!

Happy Stamping!

21 Days Left!

Hey Crafters! There are 21 days left until Sale-A-Bration is over - have you placed your order to take advantage of this fantastic promotion? Or better yet, call your girlfriends and have them over for a stamp together and earn your free items that way!

Remember: If you book a party with me between now and the 31st of March, you will get a free SAB item of your choice the day of your party - call me today!

And here is a card I made for a freind's birthday this week, hope you like it:

Real Red 8.5x11 card stock, ¾" ribbon & ¼" gingham ribbon
Summer Sun card stock - scallop punched
Very Vanilla card stock - scallop punched
Retired Stamp set: Water colour flowers 2 step stamp set
Leaves stamped in Old Olive and Always Artichoke
Roses stamped in Rose Red/Regal Rose and Summer Sun/Pumpkin Pie
"happy birthday" hand written with Real Red marker

Just an example how you can use small stamps to make a larger impact by repeating/creating a pattern.

I made a similar panel to go inside the card with roses on opposite corners and the greeting "may all your wishes come true" as well as a co-ordinating envelope with roses in the corners again.

I used this retired stamp set as my friend collects Royal Albert "Country Rose" china and this is my version of it for her card.

Have a great week and don't forget, I want to hear from you soon about your free SAB stuff!!

Cheers,
