All Adorned

One of the second release Sale-a-bration stamp sets is called All Adorned (you can see the images below) and I have put together a couple cards with it below.

In each one, I also used the Doily builder thinlits and the Classic Garage designer series paper.  On the top card, there is also a piece of the Grapefruit Grove/Lovely Lipstick foil sheets (SAB 2019).

The  card base is Melon Mambo on the top card and I have used a background layer of Soft Sea Foam in the bottom one.  Both cards use the same ink colors - Melon Mambo and Basic Gray.

The sentiment on the top card is from Better Together and the bottom card uses a sentiment from the All Adorned set.

Painted Seasons

It is always fun to see the second releases for Sale-a-bration!  The stamp set I have used on this card is called Painted Seasons and it comes in a bundle with some coordinating designer series paper at the $100 level.

Life is Grand

Recently I made a few birthday cards with the Life is Grand stamp set using colors that would work for masculine cards.

I started by die cutting two rectangles from the Rectangles Stitched framelits in Whisper White and Balmy Blue.  Then I stamped the two sets of words using Lovely Lipstick and Balmy Blue ink.

I added some Needlepoint Nook designer series paper, 3/16" braided trim and another stamped image on the base to complete the card.

Butterflies Everywhere

I die cut a few butterfly pieces using the Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick foil paper (SAB 2019) one day and there are a few ideas below...

For two of my cards, I used the Botanical Butterfly designer series paper (SAB 2019) behind the butterfly die cuts and on the others I used the Gingham Garden designer series paper.

Each has a Stitched Label framelit die cut for the sentiment and either a strip of designer series paper or ribbon as an accent.

Supplies:

Early Espresso ink

Whisper White, Crumb Cake card stock

Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick foil paper (SAB 2019)

February Stamp Club Projects

I suppose it is about time to show you the stamp club projects for February since the month is already over half over!  

Our first card used the Geared up Garage stamp set, coordinating thinlits called Garage Gears thinlits and the Classic Garage designer series paper.

The second card is made with the First steps stamp set and some Twinkle Twinkle designer series paper...

I made sure they had both a boy and girl card in the same layout...

Finally, the layout uses the Botanical Butterfly designer series paper (SAB 2019) and the Rectangle Stitched framelits dies.
