The Kindness You Show Has No End...

Sorry folks, life keeps getting in the way of my precious crafting time! :( (My hubby and stepson didn't even get cards for their recent birthdays!) *gasp!*

 

I'm hoping this weekend to get some free time to churn out some cards. In the meantime, here is one I've managed to make in the past few days. It uses some of my favorite Sale-a-bration products.

Birthday Bash - NAC123

I used a fun new stamp set that you can earn for free when you order 60$ from Stampin' Up! over the next few months. I also used some new DSP and the new Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim for my card for this week's challenge at Nacho Average Challenge. It was a fun sketch and I love the bright and cheerful card I ended up with.

You Made My Day - NAC122

Ooooh, sparkly!! I got glitter all over the place trying to get all the little pieces out of this butterfly, but it was worth it! I made this card for the color challenge at Nacho Average Challenge this week, and I love it! This new thinlit set is so awesome, and it looks gorgeous in gold. The biggest butterfly is actually really big as you can see here. The sentiment is from a new Sale-a-bration set called Best Day Ever which is available for free if you put in a 60$ order.

 

Recipe (all Stampin' Up!)

Stamps: Best Day Ever (SAB)

Ink: Versamark

 

Paper: Gold Glimmer Paper; Basic Black, Whisper White card stock

 

Misc: White Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Butterfly Thinlits*

Rubber Ducky Shaker - SSC91 & TSSC347

When I saw the sketch challenge this week for Techno Stamper, I thought SHAKER CARD! Then I saw the color challenge from Sunday Stamps, and realized I could use the soon-to-be-released-in-the-2015-Occasions-catalog Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim in my shaker. What better way to use this awesome blue than to make it look like water with a rubber ducky? I used some of the cool new Sale-a-bration paper called Irresistibly Yours which allows you to color/sponge it in to reveal the cool embossed texture.

 

Recipe (all Stampin' Up!)

Stamps: Something for Baby, Itty Bitty Banners

 

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede, Bermuda Bay

 

Paper: Soft Suede, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White card stock; Irresistibly Yours DSP (SAB), Birthday Bash DSP*

 

Misc: Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim*, Circle Framelits, Bitty Banner Framelits, Baby's First Framelits, Dimensionals, Pearls, Sponge Dauber, Glue Dots, Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder

 

* 2015 Occasions Catalog

Lotus Blossom - PPA223

This 3-step Lotus Blossom stamp set in the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalog is one of my favorite new stamps. It went on my first pre-order right away so I could get a chance to play with it. I thought it would somewhat match the sketch for Pals Paper Arts, which I turned 90 degrees to match my sketch. There's a lot of white space in this card, so I added a tiny bit of bling to fill it in.

 

Recipe (all Stampin' Up!)

Stamps: Lotus Blossom (SAB)

Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Perfect Plum, Wild Wasabi

 

Paper: Wild Wasabi, Perfect Plum, Whisper White card stock

 

Misc: Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Painted Blooms Cotton Twine in Wild Wasabi*

* Occasions 2015 Catalog
