Stampin' Up!'s Bordering On Romance

This awesome set, Bordering On Romance (new Occasions Mini Stamp Set) is used in this sample of one of the cards we will be making at my Sale-A-Bration Rubber Stamp Festival on Saturday, February 25th.  If you are in the Pa/Md/Delaware area, be sure to spend the morning with us and a whole lot of stamping fun!

The cardstock is Pink Pirouette as well as the marker.  You can achieve the two-tone effect in the flower by going over the pink again after the marker is completely dry.

The card uses a plethora of new accessories… mostly for the Big Shot:

SAB Stamp Festival Sneak Peek

Nature Walk samples for SAB Stamp Festival

Nature Walk stamp set pendantThere’s less than a week left to register for my SAB Stamp Festival on March 5th in Elkton, Maryland, that features projects made with the ‘Nature Walk‘ stamp set and my new favorite designer series paper from the Occasions Mini Catalog, ‘Springtime Vintage’.

I thought you might like a sneak peek at the projects for those of you on the fence… two cards, a pendant and a ‘gift bag’ card holder embellished with an awesome flower made from the new ‘Fun Flowers’ nested floral Bigz L Sizzix Die exclusively for Stampin’ Up!

Yes, I know the Nature Walk stamp set has a coordinating paper, however I am not one to follow directions… I am more inspired by ‘Springtime Vintage’!

I have included more details of the pendant we will be making that features the lightweight ‘Beveled Windowpanes’ (#121881) and the new ‘Trinket Keys’ (#121892) also from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Abundant Hope 3D Easter Card

Abundant Hope Easter Card

This card gets me thinking about how beautiful my daffodils are going to be when they finally bloom–they are growing bigger with every sunny day!

And I am going to miss this set when it expires on April 18th.  ‘Abundant Hope’ is a limited edition set in our Occasions Mini Catalog which retires on April 30th.

It took me two days to make this card and finally ‘like’ the layout.  I knew I wanted the black & yellow combination… and ended up with this very simple card.  So simple that I decided the ‘pop up’ two of the daffodils or it wouldn’t satisfy me.  You can’t see the glitter… it does improve it.

Accessories include:
Basic Black & So Saffron cardstock
Black StazOn
Earth Elements Watercolor Crayons
Aquapainters
#107590 Designer Label Punch
#116630 Modern Label Punch
#118402 Scallop Trim Border
(SAB FREE with $50 order)
Dazzling Diamonds Glitter & 2 Way glue pen
