Butterfly Gala & Gingham; a perfect match!

There are just some items that pair so perfectly together that you can't help using them over and over!  That's the case with the Butterfly Gala bundle and the Gingham Gala designer paper pack.  It just works! 

These are the two cards my gals made at my New Catalog launch party last week.  

Sweet and simple!  They could choose between Daffodil Delight or Highland Heather.  And they only needed one color of ink; Black!  

1. Stamp the butterfly image on a scrap of colored card stock using Black Memento ink. Punch it out with the Butterfly Duo punch. 
2. Add a fold of ribbon to the back of the large butterfly with a mini glue dot.  
3. Ink and stamp the greeting in Black Memento ink. 
4. Adhere the butterflies to the White die-cut Stitched Rectangle (NEW) and then to the Black layer.
5. Add the Gingham paper to the main White card and top with the stamped, layered rectangles.  
6. Add Wink of Stella if desired.  Done! 

This bundle is featured in this month's Kit to Go.  If you love butterflies and gingham and pre-cut card kits consider this one!  RSVP by January 18th to get the kit! Here's the link to all of the details.

Beauty Abounds; 3 free items with one purchase!

This brand new butterfly bundle is absolutely amazing!  It includes two full sets of thinlits - 20 dies - plus a beautiful cling mount stamp set.

I decided to do my own special offer during January. Everyone who purchases it from me will receive a full 10 cards written pdf tutorial plus a pre-cut cards kit!  And along with it you can choose a free Sale-a-Bration choice!  

I highly recommend the new Foil sheets in the Sale-a-Bration catalog.  It includes 4 each of Grapefruit Grove and Lovely Lipstick 12 X 12" sheets!  All FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration promotion going on right now. 

Look at this beauty made with Very Vanilla, Black and the Grapefruit Grove foil sheets.  

This foil is somewhat holographic and depending on your lighting can be extremely colorful!  As you can see there are two different butterfly thinlits. The Black die-cut butterflies are thinner and allow the larger foil die-cut butterflies to show through underneath.  It's a super neat effect and really makes your cards incredibly special!  

I'll share more with you next week on this gorgeous bundle.  Here is the link to order your Beauty Abounds bundle now.  Don't forget to use my hostess code so you can get one more thing free!  The Epoxy Hearts shown below!  That's four items FREE with one purchase!

Do you like pre-cut card kits?  So many people do!  And I love to provide them to you to help make your stamping experience a pleasant one.  

Maybe you didn't know, but I have had a Cyber Card Club that's been going strong for many years!  My gals love their monthly card kits! 

How does it work?

1. Each person is hostess once every 6 months; getting the hostess benefits of free products! But we don't actually 'meet' so there's no work or prep!
2. They place a monthly online Club order using the hostess code, minimum of $35
3. I mail out their two Club cards around the middle of each month and email the project directions and photos too.  
4. After 6 months you can continue for another round or take a break. 

Who wants to try it?!  If you tend to place an order each month, why not get something out of it like FREE products and cards!? 

Here's a link to my Club cards projects.  Each month there's a fun fold and one other great card; usually timely with holidays or seasons. 

Email me at lagreff@gmail.com to join or ask questions.
