WEDNESDAY

Today's card uses one of the SAB FREE sets, Home to Roost.  Stampin' Up's theme at On Stage in November was Simple Stamping and this card would fit in that category.  It might not be as simple as some, but it is pretty straightforward. 

I had not used my rooster yet, but I can't say that now.

Supplies used:

Bermuda Bay, Whisper White cardstock

Wood Texture 6 x 6 DSP

Momento, Bermuda Bay ink

Circle Framelits, Stitched Framelits

Stampin' Blends

Message is from a retired set.

MONDAY

Today I was working on cards for this week's stamp camp.  Here is one that I created.

I can't get enough of this Grapefruit Grove Foil Paper that was a FREE SAB item.  Even though the supply is now depleted, I have 2 packs and I am so glad.  I sure hope they bring this or something close to it back in the next Annual Catalog.

This card is very easy - #simple stamping. 

Supplies used:

Vanilla, Bermuda Bay cardstock

Versa Mark Pad

Copper Embossing Powder

Dot to Dot Emb Folder #148533 pg 25 Occasions Cat

Humming Along Stamp Set.  Bundle includes Framelits #150621 pg 36 Occasions Cat

Pretty Label Punch #143715

Tea Room Ribbon Combo Pack #146893 pg 201 Annual Cat

Retired Dots

FRIDAY TECHNIQUE

The card today showcases an older technique I learned, but often forget about.  It is called spotlighting.  I received this card in our SAB swap.  I apologize, but I do not know who created the card.  I must have thrown the tag away.

To do this technique you stamp the main image that you want.  Then you stamp a portion of the image on a piece of scrap cardstock.  Punch that out with a circle punch of your choice and color it.  This was colored with the Stampin' Blends.

Attach the circle to the card with Dimensionals, matching the lines on the punched piece to the lines on the main image.

That is all there is to it.  Easy peasy, but such a neat technique.

Supplies used:

Lovely Lattice SAB FREE item with your $50 order

White cardstock

Momento Ink Pad

Stampin' Blends

Gingham Gala 6 x 6 DSP #148554 pg 35 Occasions Cat

Braided Linen Trim #147808 Carry -over from Holiday Cat

I just want to let you know that the FREE SAB items Foil Paper and Ribbon Pack are no longer available.  The wooden Butterfly Elements are running low - now gone!  However, you have second release items that are beautiful that you can now get for FREE.  And some of them (along with some of the first release items) have coordination items that will be available to order from March 1-31.  Here is a picture of the Coordination items that will be available.  It may help you to make your choice of what free items you want to get in anticipation of ordering these new products when they are available.

The gray items are the new items that will be for sale and the white items are the FREE SAB items with which they coordinate.  None of these items will be available after March 31 when Sale-a-bration ends, with the POSSIBLE exception of the punch.

I can't wait to get some of these new products!

THURSDAY

I'm posting today since I skipped yesterday.  I am dealing with some health concerns right now, so if I miss a post, please know I have not forgotten you.  

This beautiful card was sent to me from my upline, Cindy Fodor. 

It uses the Southern Serenade Stamp Set.  I entirely missed this one in the catalog.  It is so pretty!  #145921 pg 150 AC.  I believe this particular doily is retired.

Thanks for stopping by.
