More Free Stuff

It's the final days to get your free Sale-A-Bration items before they're all gone.  And to sweeten the pot, Stampin' Up! has added more items to the list.  Simply place a $50 order (before shipping and tax) and choose one free item.  Or, if you can't decided on just one, for every $50 you can choose another item.

Such as more DSP from the Occasions Catalog.  Here is a list and pictures of the added items.

Mojo Monday Card Sketch

     Not sure how anyone else deals with this situation, but, I sometimes struggle to come up with a card design.  I tend to CASE a lot of cards from other stampers.  Lately, though, I'm trying to challenge myself not to do that.  That's when blogs like Mojo Monday come in handy.  Every Monday they post a new sketch challenge. Like this one.

      Today, I decided to try it and share what I came up with.

MOJO488

     For the card base I used Sweet Sugarplum, which is one of the new 2016-2018 In Colors.  I also used the new Glimmer Papers from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  Aren't they so pretty?!  

 
     Speaking of Sale-A-Bration, time is almost up to choose your own free items.  The deadline is March 31st.  So hurry and place your order.  You can view the catalogs and place your order here.

Products Used

Cardstock:   Whisper White, Sweet Sugarplum, 6 x 6 Glimmer Paper

Ink Pads:      Basic Black

Stamp Sets:  Balloon Adventures

Tools:            Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies, Big Shot   
                      

Card Club

It's time for our monthly card club.  Thursday, March 9th at 10 am and the second class at 2pm.

You will make 3 each of 3 designs for a total of  9 cards.  Class fee is $20.  All supplies included, except adhesive.  You must provide your own adhesive. I recommend also bringing a bone folder, paper snips, and paper trimmer if you have them.  If not, no problem, I don't mind sharing.  

If you are interested in attending please text me at 775-621-8655.  You are also welcome to book your own private class for you and your friends.

Another FREE Stamp Set

The stamp set used on this card is the Avant Garden set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  This is yet another set you can choose as a free item when you purchase $50 in product. 

I did not have the right color ribbon to place on the bottom half of the card so I improvised.  Instead I used the squiggly lines thinlit from the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits Dies set.  However, it seemed too wide so I cut a small portion off.  It made the card look complete.

I really like the simplicity of this card.  This was an easy card to create, which goes to show, you don't have to come up with an elaborate design to create something decent.  Sometimes simple is best. 

My Product List:

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Watermelon Wonder, Whisper White
Stamps: Avant Garden (Sale-A-Bration)
Ink: Old Olive, Watermelon Wonder
Accessories: Swirly Squiggles Thinlits Dies, Linen Thread, Stampin Dimensionals

Also, Saturday, February 11th at 2pm.  If you are interested in making these cards but are not able to make it for these dates and times, just let me know.  I am flexible and always ready to stamp 😊

 The Details:  
 
     You will be making three each of three different designs for a total of nine cards.  You will also be making a surprise 3D project for Valentines.  Club fee is $20.  All supplies will be provided, however, you will need to provide your own adhesive.  I would suggest Stampin' Up's Snail Adhesive which you can purchase here. There's also a few tools you may want to bring to class; Bone Folder, Paper Snips, and Paper Trimmer.  I do have these on hand for you to use, but if you would like to have your own these items can be purchased from me here.
