I am using 2 of these AWESOME items on Today's card.   Amazing You stamp set and Springtime Foils designer paper.  I first embossed the Sun Rays and Amazing with Silver embossing powder.       YES you can emboss on this paper!!  Then I sponged with Lemon Lime Twist and Marina Mist inks.


I then stamped 2 of the Flower images in Lemon Lime Twist and then stamped again in Versamark and embossed with Clear embossing powder.  SO easy to snip out when you have embossing lines to cut along!  I sponged with some Lemon Lime Twist ink and then added over the Sun Burst.  I added Glitter Enamel Dots and Clear Epoxy Shapes to look like water droplets.

Guitar Hero....

2 more days to SALE-A-BRATE!!!  Today I wanted to do some embossing with the Guitars from Epic Celebrations.  This set is perfect for Teens, Tweens, Guys and even Scrapbooking!



I lined up 4 Guitars on Basic Black card stock and embossed with White embossing powder.  I added a Pacific Point card base and Flagged Backing to the Vellum Greeting.  I stamped with Pacific Point and then Versamark and embossed with Clear embossing powder.  Vellum is tricky, I thought when my Tombow dried, it would not show.....hmmm in this case I should have spread a thin layer of Tombow on the entire sentiment.  Or used Black ink.....next time!!


I scattered a few Glitter dots for some sparkle!  And here are a 3 more cards I made with this set earlier this year.

Lots of Lavender

THREE more days to Sale-a-brate!!!  Check the Sale-a-bration page in my online store and DON'T miss out on all the GREAT products you can EARN by shopping NOW!!

I have not inked up this stamp set near as much as I should have and every time I do, I grab ink colors Perfect Plum and Pear Pizzazz.  I LOVE Purple as many of you know and it is hard for me to think outside the box when Lavender is in the name of the Stamp set!


I did mix it up a bit, stamped first in Pear Pizzazz, then the shadow in Perfect Plum.  Added the shadow of the leaves, then inked up the Outline in Elegant Eggplant.  I tried to wipe off any of the Eggplant that would land on a leaf, but had a few mishaps.  


But love the shadowy water color look without water coloring!  I added a Pear Pizzazz Shimmer ribbon and a small Sentiment from Beautiful Peacock cut out with the Stitched Framelits.

Beautiful Peacock Z Fold

5 Days left to Sale-a-Brate.....and today's card is a 2 Fer Tuesday!!  2 Sale-a-bration products on this card and a FANCY Fold!!  Well not too FANCY.........same 4 1/4 X 11 card base, but scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2.  Fold the first flap back and then fold into the middle.  How simple is that!




As soon as we get a nice sunny day, I will make a video....it's been a minute since a video and I may have to re-learn what little I had figured out! 

This fold is a great way to use up that odd piece of Designer paper.  4 X 2 1/2.  And you won't want to waste any of this Springtime Foils paper!  I adhered to the Front and then decided to add Layering Squares for my focal image.


I cut a Scalloped Square of Copper Foil.  Then cut a Whisper White square, stamped the Island Indigo main feathers and then the Peacock Body with Versamark ink and embossed with Copper embossing powder.  The gold embossing powder stuck to the Island Indigo ink also, but I like that effect.  I don't like that I tried to add some additional Tail Feathers and MISSED!!  But it is late, so you get to see my OOPS!



And here is the inside, a few Tail Feathers that peek out around the focal image, but just enough so the inside sentiment is covered!  I hope I've inspired you to try a Z Fold today!!

Bubble Over Simple Card

Another gloomy chilly weekend and I had all kinds of items on my TO DO list, but with the Royals starting this week I decided to devote my time to making cards for Harvester's Food Pantry.  I will try to add a few days on my Class calendar for you gals to help, but in the mean time if you see card bases and envelopes ON SALE and want to contribute those to the cause that would be awesome!

So my design was SIMPLE.....kinda of like this card using the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series paper.  Only 6 more days to Sale-a-brate and EARN this paper for FREE with a $50 purchase!!!


I used a Lemon Lime Twist card base and a Whisper White mat with the sentiment stamped across the bottom in Island Indigo.  The Designer paper was mounted on Island Indigo and added to the layers.  A Bottle was cut with the matching Framelits and Label from another pattern of this paper.  And Popped up on the card front.


I stamped some Bubbles in Island Indigo directly to the paper and added the Clear Epoxy shapes.  I love how the dark Island Indigo ink shows thru the clear shapes.

Floral Masks

This color combination is stunning!! I had a hard time deciding what color to make the Roses with the stencil.  After choosing this paper pattern, Rich Razzleberry seemed the obvious choice.  The card base is Smoky Slate, with a Rich Razzleberry mat.  The Roses were stenciled with Rich Razzleberry ink. 


I then added the Gray Sale-a-bration ribbon and a Sentiment from the Beautiful Peacock Sale-a-bration Stamp set.


I flagged the Sentiment and added 2 leaves punched with the Leaf Punch.  A Rose was sponged in the lower inside corner of the card.

Bake a Cake

I have not purchased this Bundle, but did fall in love with this paper.  I also purchased the masks and want to show you a card today using those with this GORGEOUS paper!!  And NOW the Framelits are on the extended Sale-a-bration list!!!  Hmmmmm do I buy the stamps and other products to get the Framelits for FREE with a $100 purchase?  Decisions, Decisions!!!

Only 7 days left to Sale-a-brate!!!



I started with a Powder Pink card base and Sponged Basic Gray ink into the Stencil on the side of the card.  I cut 2 1/2 X 5 1/4 of the Designer paper.  I trimmed so the cakes were the focal image and used the reverse (old olive stripes) on the other side.  I tied Old Olive ribbon around the paper and adhered.  A piece of Old Olive leaves left over from another project add to the back ground.


I stamped Celebrate from the Amazing You Sale-a-bration set in Basic Gray and popped up over the leaves.  If you decide you need this bundle consider buying the stamp set and other products and getting the Framelits for FREE if you spend $100.  I have listed the numbers to use if you choose this route.
