Fine Art Floral with Word Wishes Dies

 I thought one valentines day card was in order, as we

approach the weekend.  I'm not a big roses girl, although

I'll take the chocolates!!  Sadly, this Valentines card has

not gotten to the post office yet.  We had a good dose of 

ice, followed several days later by snow.  My car has not

been out of the garage for a while!

I used the delightful Fine Art Floral DSP on page 33

of the Jan-June 2021 Mini Catalog.  The sentiment was

created with the Love You Always Foil Sheets on page 11.

The sentiment was created with the Word Wishes dies

on page 183 of the annual catalog.

Delicate Petals with Lacy Petals Dies

 This card uses the Delicate Petals set, that coordinates with

the Lacy Petals Dies on page 57 of the Jan-June 2021 Mini

catalog.  To be honest, I bought this bundle for the dies.

You can see a previous post featuring these lovely

dies here.  However, the dies also enable you to cut out this

pair of flowers, which are lovely when colored with

Stampin' Blends.

I placed the flowers over several strips of FREE SAB

(Sale-a-bration) Ombre paper on page 7 of the SAB brochure.

The ombre paper really gives you the technique,

without all the work.

The rest was simply coordination of colors and

adding some bling!

Berry Blessings with Berry Delightful DSP

 Sale-a-bration is just a dandy time of year.  This card

uses the FREE Berry Blessing Stamp set and Berry

Delightful DSP  (pages 14-15).   Given these products,

you can quickly add a sentiment and complete your card.

For this card, I ran the background layer through the

Subtles 3D embossing folder to give the elements

some texture.

Happy Monday!

Stamp Off Snailed It Shaker Card

 Hi friends!  Welcome to another Stamp Off Challenge

with Susan, Buffy and I.  Our challenge today is to

make a shaker card.

For my shaker card, it had to feature the Snailed It stamp set

with coordinating Snail Dies on page 55 of the 

Jan-June 2021 Mini Catalog.  There is nothing happier than

a snail pulling a happy birthday banner, created with the

Art Gallery stamp set, with coordinating Floral Gallery Dies

(page 34).   I think that the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles on 

page 49 work perfectly for a shaker card.  They don't stick

to the paper surface and rattle around quite nicely when

you shake the card.

The Sale-a-bration Oh So Ombre DSP layer was stuffed into a

Medium Clear envelop (annual catalog, page 153), along

with a collection of the Sprinkles.  Then extra envelop, hanging over the edges of the DSP was taped down on the back.

From there, I simply created the snail and colored him with 

Stampin' Blends to go with the sprinkles. I added the 

birthday banner, and attached them to the 

outside of the shaker card. 

I know that you are going to LOVE Buffy and Susan's

shaker cards, so click on their names to see their offerings.

Art Gallery Set with Floral Garden Dies

 This year, we have some really pleasant choices from the SAB

(Sale-a-bration) brochure.  

Bonus, is that SAB comes twice this year!  

This card uses the FREE SAB Berry Delightful DSP on

page 14.  I paired this DSP with the Art Gallery set and

Floral Gallery Dies on page 34 of the Jan-June 2021 catalog.

I cut the sentiment out of the Berry Delightful DSP and then

added Garden Green to the negative space, to emphasize it.  

The "thank you" was created and cut out with the 

coordinating Art Gallery Bundle.

The is the other "half" of the card above.  For this card,

I took the cut out sentiment (positive component), and 

added it to the card front.  I used components of the Art Gallery

stamp set and Floral Gallery Dies (page 34) to create the accompanying flower and sentiment.

Snailed It with

 I had to post a birthday card today, because it is my Mom's

92nd birthday!  She loves gardening, so this theme was perfect.
