#TGIFC408: Saying Goodbye to Sale-a-Bration

Did you know there's less than a week left to Sale-a-brate?! It's always so sad when Sale-a-bration is over, but you'll be a lot happier if you get all those goodies on your wish list before it ends! This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges is to use Sale-a-bration product. 

 

I used the Beautifully Happy stamp set for my card. This stamp set is free with a $100 purchase, and while it wasn't my first Sale-a-bration choice, I have grown to love it! The stamp set includes beautiful floral images and a nice variety of sentiments.

 

You can do some two-step stamping to color the flowers, but I chose to use Stampin' Blends this time. They are just so fun to color with!

 

That pretty dotted paper in the background is part of the Flowers & More Host Designer Series Paper. You can get this HUGE pack of paper for just $3 using host rewards when you place a $150 order. Not to mention that you'll earn Sale-a-bration rewards... perhaps this stamp set plus one other choice.

#TGIFC407: Sending Support Card

This week's challenge at TGIF Challenges is a sketch challenge. I love the simplicity of this sketch!

 

I kept my card pretty simple too, using the Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper and the Sale-a-bration Sending Support stamp set. 

 

Now just don't ask me for the measurements on those pieces of Designer Series Paper! I cut and trimmed until they looked right, and I'm not sure what I ended up with... 

 

Some In Color products finished off the card: 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper for the Parakeet Party banner, 2022-2024 In Color Baker's Twine in Starry Sky, and some of the 2022-2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots to embellish the card. These products all coordinate really well with that Butterfly Kisses paper!

Ink: Starry Sky, Parakeet Party

Paper: Starry Sky, Fresh Freesia, Basic White, Butterfly Kisses DSP, 2022-2024 In Color Glimmer Paper

February 2023 Christmas Card Club Sneak Peek

Better late than never... I completely forgot to post this sneak peek earlier this week! But here it is: this month's Christmas Card Club kit.

 

This time of year, it gets a little bit harder to design cards for this club because we don't have many current Christmas products. But I love using non-traditional colors for Christmas, and I think these blues make beautiful Christmas cards!

You might be thinking, "why would I want to be making Christmas cards in February?" I love to craft for Christmas year-round, and it helps to save a little bit of stress and work later in the year when you're trying to get all the things done for Christmas. If you join my Christmas Card Club, you'll make 8 Christmas cards every month, and it will be one less thing to worry about come December! Here are a few more details about the club:

Creation Station: Simple & Sweet

 

 

Happy February! It's the first Sunday of the month, and time to hop along with the Creation Station Design Team. This month, our theme is Simple and Sweet. The "sweet" part led me straight to the Share a Milkshake Bundle, one of my favorites!

 

The starting point for this card was the classic neapolitan ice cream combination: vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. I used Soft Suede for the chocolate ice cream and Blushing Bride for the strawberry. Then I added in a little Coastal Cabana for some contrast. The patterned paper in the background is the Sale-a-bration paper, Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper. 

Do you like the little sprinkles on top?! Those are the For Everything Fancy Sequins. 

 

After I created this card, I decided to make a coordinating small square card to go with it. I used the same color combination and design elements as the first card.

 

Here is a full list of products I used on my cards:

Stamps: Share a Milkshake

Ink: Blushing Bride, Coastal Cabana, Soft Suede

Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Blushing Bride, Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper, Silver Foil 12" x 12" Specialty Pack

Embellishments: For Everything Fancy Sequins

Tools: Share a Milkshake Dies, Seasonal Labels Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Adhesives: Stampin' Seal+, Stampin' Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you'll check out the projects that the rest of the team has to share. Up next is the wonderful Sara Nell Langland.

 

Happy Stamping!
