More Funky Fold Samples

I am addicted to this new Twisted card! I have been playing with some of my new products from the Spring Catalog here along with the FREE gifts I received from the Sale-a-bration flyer here.

The Whale card was created with the Oh Whale stamp set and Happy Whale Clearlit with the NEW Designer Series Paper Sunshine and Sprinkles.

The second card I used all my FREE sale-a-bration products!Pattern Occasions stamp set along with the Sale-a-bration Sycamore Street  Designer Series Paper & the buttons and ribbon pack.
It is so much fun creating with FREE products you can get really creative.

The inside of this card is perfect for a gift card holder. I am going to put a movie gift card in one and a Starbucks gift card in the other. Love the Tickets you can make with the NEW That's the Ticket stamp set and the ticket punch. I thought that was a cute touch for the movie ticket gift card.

In the NEW Spring Catalog 
 Soda Pop Tops on page 24 which coordinate with the adorable Collage Curio set 
are too fun to decorate and then run thru your BIG SHOT and flatten!
TIP: When running the soda pop tops thru the BS make sure to flip all the tabs forward 
and just use the base of the platform put the top between your acrylic pads 
and roll it thru and viola!

Shabby Chic & Embellished

Don't you love it when you create a card from 
the vortex of your own creative mind?
I rarely have the time to spend several (won't tell you how many I spent on this one) hours
to make something truly original. Thank God for my friends in the SU blog world who share their ideas each day to inspire and allow me to CASE such beautiful creations!
 I am a casing, tweaking , color combo switching queen.
But today I took the time and made something from the heart that really makes me smile.
I always make all my samples and put them on the shelf and whatever cards make me smile the most when I look at them are the cards I usually end up teaching at class! Not always the most profitable approach but my stamping friends seem to like it!
So here it is- I really hope you like it!

I love the eclectic vintage shabby chic feel of this card! It is a frilly fru fru!
If someone sent me this I would be over the moon! Just saying>>
Supplies:
CS: Vanilla base with Natural Composition DSP( the sheet with the lines), 
Tea for Two DSP, First Edition DSP, Amore Amore DSP
Stamps: Hey There Friend & the splashy dots (love em')
(From the NEW Paper Pumpkin kit coming out in March)
 I am addicted to these 2 stamps. I would by the whole kit just for the 2 stamps but thank goodness I happen to love the whole kit!
Punches: 3/4 in circle,butterfly,itty bitty punch trio,1 1/4 circle scallop, 1 inch square
Big Shot Heat Framelits, 
Accessories:Vanilla Seam Binding, Tea Time Trinkets, Vintage brad, trinkets clip & pin and since I can't sew a lick I used my gel pen around the edges to give it the illusion of stitching.
The placement of the bow and hearts was actually the most time consuming part. I had to get the right flow going? Do you do that? Now is the perfect time to stock up on your wish list.
 
 
It is Sale-a-bration time! For every $50.00 you spend you can choose a FREE gift from here
Thank you for stopping by!
Have a blessed day!
