Sale-a-Bration cards

Hello Stampers!  Only one more day of Sale-a-Bration!

Here are some more of the cards from my Dink It Up! group swap!

This fun card was made by Anne!  I'm sure going to miss the Outlined Occasions Stamp Set (126014)!

This card was made by Lynn.  I LOVE the way she used the ribbon from the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon & Brad Pack (127279)!  And the pretty little birds are from the Elementary Elegance Stamp Set (125120).

Finally, this is my card from the swap.  I used the Elementary Elegance Stamp Set (125120).  I punched out the Everyday Enchantment designer series paper (126154) using the Postage Stamp punch (122344).

Now, your only problem is going to be which Sale-a-Bration products to choose!!!

Sale-a-Bration samples

Hello Stampers!  I can't believe that Sale-a-Bration is ending in only two days!

My Dink It Up! group recently held a swap featuring Sale-a-Bration products!

This fun card was made by Alice Marie!  She used the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set (125115).

See how it opens up?

This pretty card was made by Karen!

I love the Triple Treat Flower stamp (127725)!  I have seen some beautiful cards made using it!  And I love how there are two different punches that coordinate with it!

My Digital Studio downloads and a project

Hello Stampers!  It's My Digital Studio Tuesday!  I have a project to show you and then today's downloads!

I made this page from one of the photo layouts that comes with the software.  They have layouts for 1 to 16 pictures.  All I did was choose the 16 photo layout and began filling the boxes in with photos and designer series paper.

The designer series paper that I used was from the Cottage Wall collection.  I loved that pack when it was in the catalog so I'm so glad that I can still use it in my My Digital Studio!

Another Masculine card

Hello Stampers!  I wanted to show you another masculine card that I recently made.  Do you have a hard time creating masculine cards?  They are very difficult!  All of our fun embelishments are frilly, lacy, and pretty!  Not what we want on masculine cards!

For this card I punched out some stars from different colors of cardstock (Garden Green, More Mustard, and Pumpkin Pie) using the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine (113439) and the Stars #2 die (113461).  I attached them to a Marina Mist piece of cardstock and then ran that through the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine again using the Houndstooth embossing folder (123134).

The stamp set I used is Family Reunion (122710).  It's a great set because it has a stamp for every family member you can come up with!

Come back later this week to see the masculine cards that I received in our group swap this month!

Lovely As A Tree masculine card

Hello Stampers! Man have I ever had a busy last couple of days! Yesturday we went Prom dress shopping! We walked and shopped two entire shopping malls and FINALLY found the perfect prom dress! Be watching for pics!!!

Today we spent 10 hours away from home to drive down for Orientation and to register Casie for her college classes for next year! WOW that was a long time! But she is very happy with the way the day went and the classes she got registered for, so it was all worth while!!!

I have had a few birthday cards to make up recently, and one of them was a masculine card, so this is what I came up with:

I love the way this stamp set, Lovely As A Tree (115026), is so easy to make masculine cards with!  I used the Stripes embossing folder (123128) on the Crumb Cake piece and wrapped the stamped piece with Easly Espresso Baker's Twine (123124).

If you don't have this set yet, you need to get it for your masculine card making!

My Digital Studio project and downloads

 

Hello Stampers!  Welcome to My Digital Studio Tuesday!  Do you remember a couple of weeks ago when I showed you this card:

I told you I was going to have it professionally printed and then embellish it when it came back.  Well, it's back!

I stamped a greeting inside the card and added some Subtles Designer buttons (119745) with bakers twine.  I LOVE it! 

When I first received the cards back, I worried because they are bigger than the average card, and I was wondering where I was going to find envelopes to fit, but they actually came back from the professional printers with envelopes!  If you haven't tried My Digital Studio and their professional print services, you have got to give them a try! 

Remember that you can download the My Digital Studio Express software and experience it for FREE for 30 days!

Coloring Silver Glimmer Paper

Hello Stampers! Did you know that we have Glimmer Paper in lots of colors? Well, actually, we don't, but you can color it to just about any color you would want!

This is a swap that I made to take to Leadership this year. I wanted some flowers on my vine, but I wanted them to coordinate. I colored my Silver Glimmer paper (124005) with my Aqua Painter (103954) and Rose Red inker (102109). I made a video to show you how to do it!

 

Now hop over to my Inkin With Dink online store and order your supplies today to start coloring your glimmer paper! I'd love to see your projects!

Triple Treat Flower February thank yous

Hello Stampers! Have you had a chance to play with the A la Carte stamp Triple Treat Flower (122909) stamp yet? It is fun to play with and it actually has three coordinating punches, the Fancy Flower punch (118073) for the outside, the 5-Petal Flower punch (119880) for the middle section, and the 1/2" Circle punch (119869) for the center.

I used this stamp to make my thank you cards for February. Want to see them?

The colors I used were Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade. The best part about this stamp is that it can be found in the A la Carte section of the catalog on page 18, and sells for only $8.95!

Hop over to my Inkin With Dink online store and order yours with the coordinating punches today! And don't forget that through the end of this month, if your order gets to $50 you get to pick one FREE item out of the Sale-a-Bration brochure.
