Hi Stamping Friends!
This is an exciting week! Sale-A-Bration begins Tuesday, January 28! Woohoo! That means FREE Sale-A-Bration exclusive merchandise for every $50 you spend! Stay tuned for complete details on Tuesday! If you need a Sale-A-Bration flyer, please contact me and I'll get one to you right away.
Also, registration is open for my Burlap & Blooms Wreath Class on February 20! Pre-paid registration ends on February 6! Here is a video of what we'll be making: Burlap & Blooms Wreath video.
Today, I've got a second round of amazing swaps from my Leadership conference earlier this month. Are you ready to see more?! Here we go!
Created by Lynn Starzl at Stamping With Lynn. Color combo: Island Indigo, Smoky Slate, Gumball Green and Whisper White.
If you haven't fallen in love with the Happy Watercolor (wood) stamp set, don't worry, you will soon! It's popping up everywhere and combined with the Watercolor Wonder paper, it's hard to beat! (Look for it in my Spring Spectacular class for February!) I love the background splotch the best—it looks just like a watercolor wash! Lynn also used the Small Scallop Rotary Blades with the Stampin' Trimmer Rotary Addition for a sweet border.
Created by Tamie Ackerson at Stamping With Tamie. Color combo: Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White.
It's easy to miss the sweet little stamp set called Springtime Hello (wood) in the catalog, but it's perfect for a thoughtful spring note to a friend! Tamie stamped it on a Apothecary Accents Framelit and mounted it on a tag punched with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch for a cute focal point. The background is embossed with Decorative Dots, one of the Sale-A-Bration free items coming out on Tuesday!
Also features: 3/8" White Taffeta Ribbon.
Created by Ronda Wade. Color combo: Real Red, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake and Whisper White.
You'll see a lot of this crisp color combo this season, because of all of the pretty patterns in the Fresh Prints (not to be confused with Fresh Prince) Designer Series Paper Stack. Ronda created a fun border with the Fringe Scissors and added a Perfect Pennants (wood) sentiment to the Chalk Talk Framelits die-cut.
Also features: Rhinestone Jewels and 3/8" White Taffeta Ribbon.
Created by Karen Bouchikas. Color combo: Early Espresso, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Whisper White.
There are those cool watercolor washes again! Karen used the other flower stamp from the Happy Watercolor (wood) stamp set to make this delightful tag. She also used the Angled Tag Topper Punch to cut the tag shape—easy peasy! I love the music notes background from the Natural Composition Specialty Paper.
Also features: Tea Lace Paper Doilies and 1/8" Bermuda Bay Taffeta Ribbon.
Created by Shannon Miramontes. Color combo: Real Red, Smoky Slate and Silver.
Shannon used the globe image from the new Valentine's stamp set called Love You More for this bold, masculine card. (Hurry—it's only available until Monday, January 27!) It says "You Mean The World To Me" and has a Red Glimmer Paper heart accent. It goes perfectly with the World Map (wood) background stamp. Both are stamped in Silver Encore Ink.
Also features: Smoky Slate Chevron Ribbon, Owl Punch, Labels Collection Framelits.
Created by Julia Green. Color combo: Crumb Cake, Coastal Cabana, Gold and Whisper White.
Here's another pretty paper pattern from the Fresh Prints DSP Stack. The sentiment image is from the Love You To The Moon (wood) stamp set and it's cut with the Chalk Talk Framelits. Julia also used the Scallop Tag Topper Punch on the Gold Foil—nice!
Also features: Small Heart Punch, Natural Chevron Trim, Gold Baker's Twine, and Neutrals Candy Dots.
Created by Kay Kalthoff at Stamping To Share. Color combo: Pacific Point, Coastal Cabana and Whisper White.
I was so excited to get this cute swap card because it features the Starburst Sayings (wood) stamp set and the 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, two products I haven't yet tried! Dang! As usual, as soon as I see it in person I "have to" have it!
Also features: Starburst Framelits or Starburst Sayings Bundle (wood), Arrows Texture Impressions Folder, and 1/8" Silver Ribbon.
Created by Patti Chesky. Color combo: So Saffron, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Tangerine Tango and Very Vanilla.
Patti texture embossed the entire background including the Retro Fresh Designer Paper banners with the Square Lattice Folder for a cool quilted look. She used that Scallop Tag Topper Punch, too, this time highlighting the cupcake image in the Another Great Year (wood) stamp set.
Also features: Hearts A Flutter Framelits, Gold Baker's Twine, Rhinestone Jewels, and 1-1/4" Circle Punch.
