SO Designer Tee Let's Sell-A-Brate

Hey friends.  Susan, Buffy and I are Stamping Off
another challenge.  It is shocking to consider
 how quickly each week rolls around!
 This week, we are celebrating Sale-A-Bration.
There is a bounty of lovely, FREE products in the SAB
Catalog.  This is a great time of year to purchase $50
worth of product, because you can select one of these items FREE.
 I decided to use the Designer Tee SAB set (p 19), 
that can be used alone, 
or paired with the Custom Tee set (p 30 in the Occasions).
I also dusted off my Work of Art set on page 122.
It offers such a quick, appealing background option.
If you like the ribbon, that is also a FREE SAB item.
It's very elegant and easy to tie. 

Now please pop on over to check out 
Buffy and Susan's Sell-A-Brate projects!

Timeless Tags Card

The Timeless Tags Thinlits Dies, on page 23 
of the Occasions catalog, can be used
as tags, or a card element.  They enable interesting card
elements because you can create inlaid or watercolor
techniques.  This example shows a simple layering
of the die cut image on an oval.

Birthday Boy Custom Tee

Happy Monday, and Martin Luther King day!
Here's another Custom Tee (p 30) card!  Actually, this is one
of the first that I made with this bundle.  I used the
Cable Knit Dynamic textured impressions embossing folder
on the background layer.  The sentiment is trimmed with the
Banner Triple Punch.

Beautiful Sketch Challenge

Hi friends.  Welcome to another Stamp Off Challenge
with Buffy, Susan and Jackie.  The second of 2017!
Today, we are doing a sketch challenge.  Given new
Occasions product, this was a very enjoyable challenge!
I keep picking up Beautiful You (page 24) because I am
having so much fun coloring it with the new SU 
Watercolor Pencils.  It is a perfect combination!
  The sentiments in the Beautiful You set
are very effective for many situations. 
I created the banner end on the 
sentiment with the Banner Triple punch on page 186.
In this example, I used Bermuda Bay and Melon Mambo,
with coordinating DSP from the Festive Birthday DSP
pack on page 173.    
Now please click over to enjoy Susan and Buffy's
sites to see their lovely sketch challenge samples.
