SAB Short Stack Class

We had a fun class last Thur. It was full of product that can be earned FREE during Sale-a-bration and product from the Occasions Mini catalog. Everyone made two cards each of four designs for a total for eight cards. For each card design there was a "simple" version and a "stepped up" version.


Project 1 Scented Embossed Card. For this card the "stepped up" version was the colored card and we embossed the image with the vanilla scented ep. They also got to add a cute butterfly brad (SAB item) or a neutrals 5/16" brad,or a pearl, like on the simple version.

Supplies:
sets- fresh vintage, kindness matters
cs, riding hood red, very vanilla, everyday enchantment dsp
ink- riding hood redclassic and craft pads, chocolate chip classic and craft pads
access- big shot & labels collection framelits, 1/16" punch, 5/16" brads (neutrals or sab), pearls, riding hood red pleated satin ribbon, sticky strip, 2-way glue pen, embossing buddy, heat tool, and vanilla scented embossing powder

Project 2 Embossed Hello Card. For the stepped up version we simply added rhinestones to the crown and between the butterflies.

Supplies:
sets- Elementary Elegance
cs- crumb cake, blushing bride, basic black
ink- versamark pad
access- embossing buddy, black embossing powder, heat tool, blushing bride stitched poly ribbon, rhinestones, big shot and stripes ef, dimensionals, curly label punch




Project 3 Button Card. For this card customers could had their choice of card color (daffodil delight, real red, old olive, pumpkin pie, rich razzleberry, or tempting turquoise), sentiment, button style, and border style. To make a "stepped up" version they could run the white piece through the big shot with a subtle texture plate (not pictured).

Supplies:
sets- Teeny Tiny Wishes
cs- colored card and scraps for punching, white
ink- color to match card
access- glue dots, brights designer buttons, dimensionals, big shot & texture plates
punches- word window, modern label, dotted scallop ribbon border

Project 4 Blossom Punch Card. This is one of my favorite cards. For the simple version (not pictured) the dsp wasn't cut and embossed on the big shot with the Adorning Accents edgelits and ef. A piece of Baja Breeze seam binding covered the edge of the dsp. Also the flower had a stamped center popped up on a dimensional instead of a brad.

Supplies:
sets- mixed bunch, petite pairs, triple treat flower
cs- calyoso coral, lucky limeade, very vanilla, everyday enchantment dsp

Poppy Parade Punched Blossom

This is one of my favorite cards that we made at my Inkerbelles get together in Walnut Creek. It's so much fun to go to these demonstrator meetings! We talk, get prizes and make sample cards. And it's all free! Thanks Tami!

I love the Enchanted dsp and brad and ribbon pack that you can get FREE during SAB. I also love the Mixed Bunch set and coordinating Blossom punch from the Occasions Mini catalog. We will be using these items (in a different way) at my class on Thur. I hope you are signed up!

Easy Button Layout

This is a sneak peak at one of the cards wes'll be making in my SAB Short Stack Class this Thur. Customer will have their choice of card color, sentiment, border punch, and button style. They can also step up the card by texturizing the white layer. I like it plain myself. The Brights collection of designed buttons can be acquired for FREE with a qualifying Sale-a-bration order.

ink - rue des fluers

This is one of the cards we made at the Inkerbelles Jan demo get together. It's a simple layout and the elements can be easily changed to create many different looks.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I love the new framelit dies, especially the labels collection. I wish I could take credit for this card, but I can't. My friend Cheryl designed it.



I made these two cards at the Inkerbelles demo meeting I attended in Jan and thought they would be good to share with you today. I wish I had photos of the cards we made in Vacaville because there were a couple cute heart ones, maybe I'll just share them late. Anyway, hope you have a loving day! My hot date is to watch my son's Freshman basketball game. Then we'll stay to watch the JV and Varsity games, too. Go College Park High School!

Buttoned Up Heart

My upline sent me this card and I thought I'd share it with you today. You can get the brights designer buttons FREE as a Sale-a-bration item. I hit my nogan this morning and boy did that hurt! At least no stitches were required and I don't have a concussion. I didn't do anything today but sit around and read, which was good on a rainy day! I have a great Valentine to share with you tomorrow, so be sure to check back!

SUO Valentine Challenge

The SUO Challenge this week was to make a Valentine using two colors. Well, I also needed to make a Valentine for a friend's 2 year old grandson who is very ill with a rare disease. My mom suggested I make a pop-up one, which I thought was a good idea. I pulled out one of my favorite retired stamp sets (Unfrogettable) and some retired paper (green galore and pink passion). Unfortunately, I had to get it in the mail before I had a chance to take a photo. So I decided to make a similar card for my two boys. I'll give them on Valentine's Day with some See's candy (which will probably be their favorite part). I used the 2-3/8" scallop circle punch so the frog looks like hes on a lily pad. I also used the 2-1/2" circle punch in white to set it off and the heart to heart punch. It was fun and I hope you enjoy it. Now I have to see if I'm not too late to submit it to the SUO challenge!

Happy Stamping! Mary
