What I Love Card 2

Hi everyone,
Here is the second card I made using the Sale-a-Bration set What I Love.

 What is a card without something on the inside?


Isn't this a cute card and cutting out that intricate heart die was a breeze with the precision plate and die brush. It is just stunning and who says hearts have to be for Valentines or in the red family.

I love this Crumb Cake heart with accents of mint macaron and pearls. You get three pieces in this die set. The heart and 2 flowers.

The background paper is the envelope paper so my background and envelope lining will matchy match.

This is a fun, quick and delightful card. Why not make one for someone you love.

Do you love free? If you purchase $50 (before shipping and handling) you can purchase the Botanicals for You set during the Sale A Bration promotion.

The Heart Bloom' Heart Thinlits Die pairs with a photo-polymer stamp set called Bloomin' Love on page 16 of the Occasions Catalog and you save 15%. Know what I love is saving money.

Have a wonderful rest of the day. We are planning on celebrating Christmas while we are in Kirkland. The hotel room is filled with wrapped goodies.

Blessings,

Happy 2016!


Did you notice the little snow globe? I received that from my husband for Christmas.
It's the beginning of a New Year!

Boy did last year go by at the speed of light or what.

Ok confession time. I had this entry all written out but do you think I can find it. I am doing this from memory so please forgive my randomness.



I have a new project I've been working on to share with you. Do you seem to look at a stamp set and only see one way of using it? Or maybe you are like me and scan Pinterest, see the most beautiful card and copy it exactly (which is great that we can do that). Then go to try something different with it only to think it's not as good as someone else's creation. Well I am challenging myself to use Pinterest or other sites as inspiration but to make the cards I find and like, my own.

Here is my card for today. (If I had remembered where my notes were I would have given credit to the wonderful person who inspired me. If at a later date I do find my note I will edit this post.)

Did you notice the little snow globe? I received that from my husband for Christmas.
 This is a very simple sketch card that can be duplicated quickly if you need allot of cards. Maybe thank you cards? 

The stamp set is from the new Sale-A-Bration free products catalog. This catalog is good from January 5-March 31, 2016. It is called What I Love. I'll link the other products at the end of the post.
 I colored the flower stamp with my blender pen and Calypso Coral stamp pad. I just kept the stamp pad closed and squeezed the lid enough to get a pool of ink and colored from there.
 Here is a look at the inside of the card.
The "you" came from another free set in the catalog called Botanicals for You. I know this look really pink but it truly is Calypso Coral.
In order to receive one of these sets you need place a purchase for $50 before shipping and taxes. For me that is a really easy thing to do.

Here are a few details of making this card. If you have any questions just let me know.

Pretty Petals DSP 4" x 5-1/4" 138442 page 144
Pretty Petals DSP (black dots) 4" x 3/4" (this is the leftover from cutting the above layer and flipping it over for the other side)
Very Vanilla cardstock cur 4" x 5-1/4" for inside liner 101650 page 141
Very Vanilla and Calypso Coral scrapes for the flower, leaves and sentiment

If you do not have a demonstrator I would be honored to serve you.
