Tomorrow is the last day; get two pre-cut kits and save on shipping!

tomorrow is the last day to get either of my May pre-cut kits to go.  I have two choices!  You can choose one or both!  If you want both I can combine shipping to save you money.

First is the Quick Cards kit; 10 cards including a few unique folds.  And they're not all flowery either!  Of course you can 'add' flowers if you'd like to...... 

 

This kit to go includes $20 in product AND a pre-cut cards kit; all for $28 plus shipping.  The product alone costs just over $24 so you're getting the 10 cards kit for less than $4.  It includes a full pack of 6 X 6" Regals designer series paper, a full spool of White Flax ribbon and 1/2 pkg. of Holiday rhinestones.  

I used the So Sentimental stamp set on my cards. You can substitute any stamp set you own though. 

There are three options for you with this kit. Purchase and see them all here. 

1. First is the complete bundle that includes the pre-cut cards, product, pdf tutorial AND the So Sentimental stamp set for $59.50.
2. Second choice is the pre-cut cards kit, product and pdf tutorial for $36.
3. Lastly you can purchase just the pdf tutorial; with no kit or product for $15. 

*I have a limited number of these kits available.  If you want one; do not wait! Go here to get yours. 

**If you are already subscribed to my monthly kits to go I have one of these set aside for you.  Do not order another!

The second available kit includes these gorgeous cards!  Stock up on your supply of masculine cards with this kit that requires NO stamping!

It includes $18 in products including 1/2 pkg of Come Sail Away Memories & More cards pack and Memories & More cards and envelopes plus a pre-cut kit needed to complete your cards.  It also includes one package of Basic Brads, two spools of twine (Navy & Navy/Sahara Sand) and a few Sail Away trinkets. 

I have a limited supply of this kit on hand because many of the products are retiring.  Many of these items are on sale right now on the Last Chance list here. 

Purchase it here by May 17th.

Both of these kits will be mailed out at the end of this month, which gives you some wonderful crafting time.

Color Challenge with Seriously the Best with Ornate Frames

My Flowerbug's Team had a color challenge this past month - to use Black and White with a 'Pop' of color.  Here's the card I made: 

This card literally took me 5 minutes to make.  Here's the steps:

1. Cut a White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
2. Cut the See a Silhouette DSP to 4" X 5 1/4".  Adhere to the card
3. Die-cut two pieces a White 2 1/2" X 4"  stitched rectangle and a Black Ornate Frame.
4. Stamp the greeting and leaves in Black Memento ink.  Add the flowers in Poppy Parade ink. Adhere to the card.
5. Stamp the 'I miss you a lot' greeting on a scrap of White. Punch out with the Classic Label punch. Add with mini dimensionals.
6. Add a few rhinestones. Done! 

You can see the See a Silhouette stamp set here and the Ornate Frames dies here.  Remember that if you order any Ornate bundle from me in April you get a free 3 cards pre-cut kit!  Details below:

April's card kit to go

I chose to use the Well Dressed designer paper for my card kit to go this month.  This paper is full of stylish images and soft florals.

This month's kit includes 4 unique fun-fold cards but you get two of each!  Plus I added an adorable pre-cut bag filled with mini cards too!  Look! 

Each card is finished differently giving you lots of options! This kit to go includes $20 in product plus more!

• a full package of the 6 X 6" Best Dressed designer series paper seen here. 
• 1 full spool of Mint 3/8" satin ribbon
• a full package of Pearl jewels
• a pdf tutorial for all 8 fun fold cards plus the purse and mini cards
• the pre-cut kit!  It includes pre-cut, punched and die-cut pieces ready to stamp and assemble.
• You'll cut your own designer paper using the measurements in the tutorial. 

I used the Dressed to Impress, Butterfly Gala and Peaceful Moments stamp sets to finish mine.  In the tutorial I give you two examples of each card so you can make either or both.  Add on either stamp set or bundle at a 10% discount! 

You have two choices: get the pre-kit to go which includes the pdf tutorial.  Or opt to purchase the pdf tutorial alone. 

You can see and purchase both here on my Tutorial Shop.  Be sure to opt in by Friday, April 17th! 

Here are some comments from happy customers:

Did you want a Little Ladybug stamp set? Now you can get one; FREE!

The cute Little Ladybug stamp set from the Sale-a-Bration promotion was very popular; everyone wanted it!  It was free with a $300 order but that was difficult for many people to achieve.  

If you've been wishing and hoping for this set now you can get one; from me!  I have 10 of them and the first 10 people to order over $100 online using this host code will get one. 49HFZ6G3  **I have 1 left as of April 10th.  

**I suggest you consider getting any of the new Ornate Garden products OR get the retiring 2018-20 In Colors before they retire later this month.  Everything goes fast once the retired list comes out! 

Besides getting a free stamp set you'll also get a pre-cut cards kit and written tutorial!  Here's one of the cards in the kit; it's a cute, interactive waterfall card.  

Here's how it looks when you pull the ribbon; you get to see every ladybug.  The card opens up also with more fun inside! 

Everything is cut out and ready for you to stamp using your very own brand-new Little Ladybug stamp set!  

The kits will go out mid-late April; as soon as the reserved sets are spoken for.  If you're wondering if there's any left just send me an email at lagreff@gmail.com to check.

I have 8 spots left as of today.

 

Ornate Garden; simply done

Today I have another card featuring the new Ornate Garden products; the new early release from the upcoming 2020 Annual Catalog.  You can see all of it here. 

For this card I chose to use the Ornate Border dies for the pretty edge. The greeting is from the Ornate Thanks set and the embossed daisy is from the Ornate Style stamp set.

You might see a little halo around the right daisy.... I first stamped it in Terracotta Tile, but it didn't show up well enough.  So I tried to stamp again to heat emboss it in White.  I was off a bit but I'm okay with it anyway. The stitched oval is a die from the Stitched Shapes dies.  

I made a bunch of these for a swap last month; it's a pretty easy card with just a few special 'extras'.
