Tracey made this first card with the Nature's Harvest bundle & Harvest Meadow designer series paper. I love the way her thin strips of DSP create this stunning background.
Then she softened it with a piece of vellum that she textured with the Meadow Moments embossing folder.
Her greeting is from the In Your Words stamp set - it was a bonus free offer in our Sale-a-Bration catalog during August & September. Underneath the torn greeting strip is some Diamond Weave trim, dyed to match.
Next is a beautiful card made by Paula. She featured the Season's Blessings bundle in the Annual Catalog seen here.
Her colors include Bumblebee, Cajun Craze, Soft Suede & Cinnamon Cider.

Maybe you already own some of these Sale-a-Bration items. I hope you're inspired by these projects. Or maybe these will give you a little nudge to add one or more to your order....?
First are cards made with the Delicate Dahlia stamp set. This was an easy favorite of mine. The 2-step DistINKtive images are gorgeous!
Next is the Summer Shadow dies. These dies can stand alone (as you can see!) or pair with the Shaded Summer stamp set seen here in the Annual Catalog.
See those here:
Here are the Textures & Frames cards I made on a recent FB Live. See that video here.
I LOVE this unique set! It is way more fun and easy to use than I thought it would be. As you can see I had trouble stopping! See it here.
Lastly is the Peaceful Prints designer series paper seen here.
I love this paper so much! Classic prints in Black, Red, White, Sahara Sand & Garden Green. In fact I like it so much I created one of my October kits to go around it! I'll share that next week.
Well I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my favorite Sale-a-Bration projects today. It's always sad when this amazing promotion ends. I hope you were able to get the items you wanted! See all of the free options here.

We made this pretty (and easy) card at my September Christmas card class.
It's made with the Christmas Season bundle seen here. This bundle was one of my first purchases from the 2021 Holiday Catalog; I think it's extremely versatile and SO easy to create with!
Here's the inside view:
The colors include Evening Evergreen, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake & Very Vanilla. The sentiments are from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in the Annual Catalog.

After we stamped the background we added texture with either the Timber or Timeworn Type 3D embossing folders. There is also a few spatter images from the Gorgeous Leaves stamp set.
I created a video for a very similar card; check it out below:
We made several neat Center Flap cards on this week's Live (right here) at 7:30 pm CT. Here's my monthly FB Live schedule:
Tonight is the 4th Monday so we're stamping at 7:30 pm CT here on my FB page. The cards are a unique Center Flap fold and SO EASY! This fold also shows off your pretty designer paper beautifully.
Prep your pieces to make some.

Card stock: one piece 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", one at 3" X 5 1/2" and one 1" X 4 3/4" for flap & a neutral piece for the inside greeting at 2 3/4" X 4"

At first this stamp set baffled me; what would I do with it? Well leave it up to the creativity of others to spark my own! I got some ideas online and all of a sudden I couldn't stop!
I shared all of these cards and tips on making them on this week's Tuesday FB Live. Look!
The card above is my favorite. It truly makes me smile! That sentiment is from the In Your Words stamp set in the back of the Sale-a-Bration catalog. It's free with a $300 order through Sept 30th. See it here.
You may wonder how I achieved that perfectly shaped smile on these faces. I searched all of my stamp sets for a circle shape and found one in the cat in the Cute Halloween set. Watch the video here or seen below to see how I did it. The eyes are clear rhinestones colored Black with my Blends marker. The colors are Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia and Pacific Point.
In the video I also share a neat tip on getting a smaller Postage shape from our Rectangular Postage Stamp punch.
If you love quirky and unique get this while you can. This fun Textures & Frames stamp set is free with a $50 through the end of September. *stock up on your favorites and earn it free!

This next card uses the same solid circle image to create a colorful background for the nice, large greeting in the Thinking, Thanks & Peace stamp set. I also used the Basic Border dies to create the eye catching rick-rack border trim.
These colors include Fresh Freesia, Bermuda Bay & Granny Apple Green.
~~~
Next I added some vellum dragonflies to a colorful column on this White card using the Dragonfly Dreams stamp set and the Dragonflies punch.
The greeting is also from the wonderful In Your Words stamp set; I fussy cute it and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
~~~
I love this one too! It's cased from my Team Member Tracey. I had to make one in these colors.
The die-cut swirl is from the Painted Labels dies and again the greeting is from the In Your Words stamp set.
~~~
I was inspired by the card on the lower right (seen by other Demo's) to create one with TALL candles! I used my Stamparatus for both of these cards! Watch how in the video below or click here.
These colors include Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay, Pacific Point & Crushed Curry. The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set.
Which is your favorite??
~~~
And lastly is a simple card using the open circle image and a few stars die-cut with the Stitched Stars dies and our Rainbow Glimmer paper.
The greeting is from the Happiest of Birthdays stamp set. I love how easy you can create a masculine card with this unique stamp set!
Don't miss out if you want this set! It's unavailable after Sept 30th! You'll also get 10 free hand-made cards from me with a $50 order! Details are below.

I cannot believe the many ways you can use these Summer Shadow dies seen here! I shared two bright, fun cards yesterday here and have more yet today.
I sure love the leaves in Coastal Cabana & Pool Party! The flowers are Melon Mambo & Blushing Bride.
The greeting is from the coordinating stamp set in the Annual Catalog called Shaded Summer seen here. I love the greetings & font in this set! That heat embossed greeting/die-cut is from the Messages die.
Next up I created some colorful cards using the Sale-a-Bration Be Dazzling specialty designer paper. As of today this paper is SOLD OUT unfortunately. They did predict they'd run out of this paper before Sale-a-Bration is over.
Just so you know, these Summer Shadow dies(and the Sheep dies) are also expected to run out!
I used Blends markers to color my flowers. You can see this in the video below. The card base is Granny Apple Green and the vertical strips are Poppy Parade on the left & Magenta Madness on the right.
Which is your favorite?
I'm so sorry that this gorgeous paper is unavailable now. I hope most of you ordered it while you could!

On last Tuesday's FB Live I shared three unique fun fold cards featuring the Penguin Place bundle and the Penguin Palace designer paper. *Follow me on Facebook here.
Today I'm focusing on the Explosion card. It sure looks complicated but it's just a few score lines on a 4 X 8" piece of DSP.
As you can see, it's not a Christmas card. This bundle and designer paper works well for multiple occasions.
The colors are Fresh Freesia, Black, White & Balmy Blue which coordinate with the adorable Penguin Playmates DSP seen here. This paper is free during our Sale-a-Bration promotion with any $50 order.
See that cute penguin? It's punched out with the Penguin punch; right from the designer paper!
DSP Explosion card
Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, scored at 2 1/8” from each side
White inside square 2 ½”, Balmy Blue layer 2 ¾”
DSP 4” X 8” score at 2”, 4” & 6”, then in two ‘X’s’ from midpoint score to the outside corners
Belly Band 1 ½” X 9”
Here's the video; I actually show three unique fun fold cards!
