LAST CHANCE getting your
FREE Sale-A-Bration products!
Ends March 31, 2014!!!

For every $50 order get one of the SAB products FREE! For my workshops, I've been doing this card this past month. It shows off several of the Sale-A-Bration products…the Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper, Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack (twine) and the Delicate Dots Embossing Folder. I combined it with the Petite Petals Bundle of stamp set and punch!

Here are the details:

The base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Crisp Cantaloupe folded in half.
I added a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Pool Party cardstock.
On the 3 3/7 x 5 layer of Whisper White, I embossed with the Delicate Dots folder.
I added a 1 1/2 x 5 pennant and 1 x 4 1/2 pennant of Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper, cut with a flag end.
On the Oval Framelit, I stamped the greeting from Yippee Skippee with Black Stazon.
I also stamped three Petite Petals flowers with Pool Party ink and punched out with the coordinating punch. I punched two flowers from Pistachio Pudding cardstock and cut them for leaves, then arranged on the oval.
In the centers, I used the Bitty Punches and Summer Starfruit cardstock, with a small pearl in the center.
The Oval was popped up on the front.
As a final touch, I tied a bow of Pool Party Twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack and added it to the front with a Mini Glue dot!

I explained that if they purchased the Petite Petals Bundle (#134822, clear mount), the Oval Framelits (#129381), and a package of Pearls (#119247), they could get either the Sweet Sorbet DSP (133521) or the Delicate Dots Folder (133520) FREE with Sale-a-Bration and substitute the other items and colors! I had several take advantage of it!!! Yippee Skippee add on, too. Order yours today!!!

Are you like me and making cards at the very last minute…you know…right before you walk out the door to a birthday party or other event? If so, you are going to LOVE this card! AND…it uses up some of those designer paper scraps you have laying around! Of course, I featured Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper. I am absolutely going to MISS this sweet designer paper after it goes away next week! That's right…only a few more days are left of Sale-A-Bration so don't miss out on getting this paper FREE with any $50 order!

I've also used a few more Sale-A-Bration products. The Summer Starfruit Twine is from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Kit and the background Pool Party cardstock is embosssed with Delicate Dots Embossing Folder. Here are the details:

The base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Whisper White, folded in half.
I added a 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Pool Party, embossed with Delicate Dots Embossing Folder.
I punched out several of the different patterns in Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper with the Hexagon Punch. I haven't used this punch nearly enough!
Then I stamped the Hello Sweet Friend greeting in the matching Six-Sided Sampler stamp set with Black Stazon Ink on Whisper White, then punched it with the Hexagon Punch, too.
Then I just spent a minute laying out my patterns on the front of the card. The greeting hexagon I popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
I tied a bow with the Summer Starfruit Twine and added it to the front with Mini Glue Dots.
Finally, I added bling with small Rhinestones scattered over the hexagons!

Hope you like it! It only took a couple minutes to make!

Petal Parade

March 24, 2014 By Connie | 2 Comments

OK, I know you haven't seen Carter in a while. This was taken a week or so ago when we were watching him. Can't you just see the orneriness in his eyes? He was in the midst of his new trick…waving bye-bye! He is BUSY, BUSY…walking with help…won't be long until he lets go and is off!

So…this week is the last full week of Sale-A-Bration!!! Can you believe it? March 31st is the LAST DAY! So…I'll be showing some of the SAB items this week, don't miss it! Here's today's card using Petal Parade and the awesome Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper!

Here are the details!

The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Pistachio Pudding cardstsock, folded in half.
I added banners that are 2 1/4 x 5, 2 x 4 1/2 and 1 1/2 x 4 and cut with flag ends from three different patterns in Sweet Sorbet DSP.
Next I added a Window Frame Framelit cut from Basic Black cardstock and popped up on front.
I stamped the images from Petal Parade with Pool Party and Pistachio Pudding Ink on the Whisper White Oval Framelit, then stamped You and Me from Perfect Pennants Stamp Set with Crisp Cantaloupe ink.
Finally, I added a Large Rhinestone Jewel to the flower and tied a bow with Pool Party Twine in the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Package.

Week 2 Spring Collection Challenge

February 1, 2014 By Connie | 2 Comments

It's the end of Week 2 of the Create with Connie and Mary Spring Collection and we've had fun showing off the Sale-A-Bration products this week in our project tutorials. Now it is time for our Saturday Challenge. We have a fun color challenge this week! Love the soft colors and hope they put you in the mind of Spring!

Here's my card using You're Lovely in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I also used the beautiful Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper that is another option for Sale-A-Bration!

Here are the details:

The base is 4 1/4 x 11 Sahara Sand, folded in half.
I added a 4 x 5 1/4 piece of Pistachio Pudding cardstock.
On it, I added 1 3/4 x 3 1/4 pieces of Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper, rounding the two corners on each piece.
Over those, I added a 1 3/4 x 4 3/4 piece of coordinating Sweet Sorbet DSP and rounded all four corners.
I stamped the floral image with Black Stazon, then watercolored with Pistachio Pudding and Crisp Cantaloupe markers and my AquaPainter. I added the Live Happy greeting in Black Stazon, too.
That was cut with the Deco Label Framelit. Then I matted it by cutting two more Framelits the same size, cutting one in half lengthwise and one in half vertically, then spaced them so it created a mat.
My final touch was to add Sahara Sand Candy Dots on the horizonal pieces.

Make sure to check out the rest of the Create with Connie and Mary Spring Collection Design Team to see what they did this week over on Create with Connie and Mary! And, while you are there, it's not too late to sign up! We still have two full weeks to go…next week is CARD CREATE-TIONS! Nothing but cards!
