New items; Painted Seasons with More Than Words

Here is a pretty card made with the new Painted Seasons designer paper and the new All Adorned Sale-A-Bration stamp set.  I received it in a swap from my good friend Ruth Bingle!  

This sheet of designer paper has mushrooms and other botanical images!  This card is made with Poppy Parade, Crumb Cake and White.  I love the fold!  

Above is a better photo of her unique fold.  The card base is the traditional 4 1/4" X 11" card scored at 2 3/4" & 5 1/2".  The Poppy Parade piece is 3" X 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4". The inside White layer is 2 3/4" X 4". 

She used the new Story Label punch here for the greeting and the Country Floral embossing folder too.  Both are only available in March! 

This designer paper is part of the Painted Seasons bundle and includes the 12 sheets of 12 X 12 designer paper and the Painted Seasons stamp set; all free with a $100 purchase!  The All Adorned stamp set is free with a $50 order; all during this last week of Sale-a-Bration!

Little Elephant baby card; so sweet and clever!

Now I have to buy this Little Elephant bundle!  I think this is stinkin' adorable!!!!

Jacki made this card for our recent 'Special Events' swap featuring the Little Elephant punch bundle in the annual catalog.  I absolutely love how the baby is holding up the string of balloons with his trunk!  

Here are both versions:

The colors aren't very true here.  I believe the left card is Crumb Cake with Soft Suede and Night of Navy and the right is Gray Granite with Calypso Coral and Basic Gray.  I love everything about these cute cards!  Thanks so much Jacki!!!

Golden Afternoon

Karen sent this card in for our Flowerbug's Team swap this weekend.  She chose to use the Golden Afternoon stamp set on page 31.  I've been eyeing this set but she may have pushed me over the edge with this pretty card.  

I wish my photo did it justice!  It's so much prettier in person. 

It's a fun fold card where the front panel is adhered to just a half section of the left side.  

Her colors are Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Whisper White.  I love that she did not color in the main image; just left it alone.  It's beautifully detailed!   

Details:

• One color of ink - Soft Suede
• She separated the threads in the White Flax ribbon on page 35 and tied them in a knot.
• The designer paper on the front panel is the Nature's Poem on page 189 of the Annual Catalog (2" X 5 1/4")
• The Soft Suede card base is 5 1/2" X 6 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• White front panel is 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"
• Soft Suede is 3 1/2" X 4 1/2"
• Inside Crumb Cake is 4" X 5 1/4", greeting strip is 3/4" X 3 3/4"

Painted Seasons -

I made a bunch of these cards for a swap I joined with my demonstrator friends featuring the brand new Painted Seasons stamp set. 

I inked the large flower and the dotted image in Calypso Coral ink and the leaves in Mint Macaron ink.  Then I added Early Espresso ink to the centers of the flowers with a sponge dauber.  I got this idea from my best stamping friend, Susie Wood.  I love how it makes the flowers pop!

This stamp set is part of a new bundle you can earn free with a $100 order.  See it here. 

Did you notice the pretty punch shape?  It's a brand new Story Label punch that's coming out in March.  Demonstrators can pre-order it this month; it's one of the best perks we get!  

Details:

• Petal Pink main card is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
• Early Espresso is 5" X 3 3/4"
• Very Vanilla is 4 3/4" X 3 3/4"
• Greeting is from the Dear Doily stamp set
• Circle punches are 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" scallop circle
• Ribbon is the Calypso Coral satin ribbon on page 25

Wonderful Romance; an incredible bundle!

Look at this amazing card Marilyn made for our recent Flowerbug's Team swap!

She chose to use the Wonderful Romance bundle on page 11 of your Occasions catalog.  

Her colors are Soft Sea Foam, Petal Pink with Black and White.  It's soft and oh so pretty. I believe she used our Blends markers to color the image in.  Just look at the details on the edgdlit that's in the coordinating Wonderful Floral Framelits and the Lace Dynamic embossing folder!  It's definitely a WOW card!

Other little details are the Epoxy Heart that she colored Sea Foam with her Blends marker, the Rectangle Stitched Framelit for her greeting and the pearl jewels that finish it all off.  Just lovely!

Needle & Thread & Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper!

Here's a group of pretty swap cards I made awhile ago featuring the Needle & Thread bundle with the Needlepoint Nook Designer Series Paper.  

I chose my colors based on the pretty Designer Series Paper; Balmy Blue, Poppy Parade, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and White.  Look at the details you get with the stitched background die!  It's so cool and easy; just run it through like you would a die-cut and it stitches!  

Also note the stitched edge of the greeting shape.  The die-cut stitches the edge and it matches the Pretty Label punch so I was able to just punch it out after running it through the Big Shot.  

You can see this Needle & Thread bundle here and the Needlepoint Nook designer paper here.
