Avant Garden

As promised I am posting the four cards I gave away at the quick card class on Monday night.  I used these as door prizes.

used the sale-a-bration set Avant Garden to create these cards.  Peek a boo Peach, Pear Pizzazz, Chocolate chip, and calypso coral are the colors used.

The greeting on this card comes from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set.  I used the classic label punch to punch it out with. The other cards all use greeting from the Avant Garden set.

Some calypso coral twine and pearls to embellish this one!

It has some cute little speckles in this stamp too!

Peekaboo Peach ruched ribbon.  I love this ribbon.  It's available in all the 2016-2018 in colors.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Sale-a-Bration Time!

It's that time of year!  What a wonderful time and so many wonderful options to choose from.  You can check out the SAB catalog; just click on it at the side of my blog.  The card I am sharing today is one that I did for a swap at leadership in San Antonio last week.  

It uses the hostess bundle from pages 6 & 7 of the SAB catalog.  This bundle is available to everyone that has a $400 workshop or better for FREE.  Or you can get them individually as well, for free, with a $50 purchase.  The stamp set is called Fresh Vintage and the dsp is Everyday Enchantment.  It coordinates with many of our "in colors".  I used calypso coral and pool party with this card.  The ribbon comes from the regular catalog and is ruffled.....so very pretty in real life!

I LOVE sunflowers!

Isn't this just beautiful???  I received this from my good friend, Penny, this week and I have gotten so much enjoyment already from it.  I love fall and these sunflowers are just lovely.  Then a couple days later I received this card from my swapping friend, Sharon Burkert.

This card has a black base with Calypso Coral for the focal color.  She used the single big sunflower stamp found on page 149 and the my friend saying from the stamp set called My Friend on page 139.  She used the new scallop dotted ribbon and a rhinestone to accessorize.  The inside has more sunflowers stamped on it and a handwritten note from her.  So beautiful!!

Triple Treat Flower

Well....what a week!  We finished up hauling bales home, working on fencing stackyards, fighting fire due to dry lightening (my least favorite thing to do!), etc.  We did get the last of the haying equipment back home too.  Yippee--maybe things will slow down so I can stamp more.   My stamps are feeling neglected!  :-)

I used some of the new "In colors" for these cards.  Lucky limeade, calypso coral, and wisteria wonder.  They are so pretty together.  SU has great new ruffled ribbon in these colors and printed polka dot brads to match as well!  How fun!  Here is a close up of the focal point of the card.

I love this flower as you can punch it out; all the different layers coordinate to SU's punches!  The flower is a single stamp new in the current IB&C, called Triple Treat Flower!  I ran the circles thru the embossing folder for the polka dot dimension.

You can see how you can switch the colors around and use different ones and they look a little different but still a fun little card to make.  Another touch that is fun is to layer the white on white--I haven't done that a lot but love the look.  Thanks for stopping by today and have a great weekend.  I hope to post some swap cards with the summer mini stamps tomorrow so look for that.  Keep in mind that the summer mini is coming to a close here at the end of August so take one last look at it and make sure there is nothing there you can't live with out or it will be gone forever!  I will be placing an order early in the week so be sure to let me know.  I think I will do a mystery hostess type for these orders.

If you don't have the summer mini feel free to click on the link here on the side of my blog to view it. 

I miss you!

This was a quick and easy card I made with the button buddies stamp set which is a new set to the catalog just released last month.  If you don't have your new catalog and are interested in one please contact me.

Don't ever let your kids grow up and move away!  You will miss them terribly.  I made this card for my daughter who is currently living in Seattle area.  She has a great job there so we are thankful, but I miss her every day.  Okay, back to the card, I used two of the new in colors; calypso coral and wisteria wonder and of course some shimmery white cs as well.  The center of the flower is another new item called designer printed brads.  They have polka dots on them--maybe if you click on the picture you will be able to see them.  These brads are on page 199 of the 2011-2012 IB&C.  They are an assortment of all the new five in colors.   They are sooooooo darn cute.  Button Buddies stamp set can be found on page 71 of the IB&C.  Eight great samples shown on that page too.  I think this book has more samples than before--a lot of new ideas, for sure!  Thanks for stopping by.
