See Ya Later Sale-A-Bration

It's Monday!  Another chance to start fresh and make this week a great one!  I live for the weekends, but I kind of love making a fresh start and setting goals for the week when Monday rolls back around.  This Monday is kind of a bitter-sweet one...it's the end of Sale-A-Bration :-(  Today is your LAST CHANCE to pick out a FREE Sale-A-Bration item when you order $50.  Don't miss out on any of this years fun products!

My card today showcases my favorite stamp set from this year's SAB...See Ya Later.  (You'll notice I used one of the MDS stamps in my Monday Montage post too!) 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Gumball Green Core'dinations, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White, Fresh Prints DSP

Ink ~ Gumball Green, Coastal Cabana

Stamp Sets ~ See Ya Later, Zoo Babies

Other Supplies ~ Oval Framelits, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder

 

Isn't that embossing folder the PERFECT added touch for an alligator card?  I am so excited that this embossing folder will be carrying over into the 2014-2015 annual catalog.

 

And speaking of annual catalog...it will be here before we know it!!!  This is the sweet part at the end of Sale-A-Bration!  I think I get more excited about new catalogs than anything else...and I know I'm not alone!

 

So, don't forget to contact me TODAY to get your last Sale-A-Bration order in!

 

Happy Stamping!

Hello friends and welcome to another amazing Monday Montage Blog Hop!  I look forward to this hop each and every time...this group has some awesome talent!
It's kind of cloudy and chilly out today and I'm feeling a little lazy...lazy enough to not want to leave my couch with my warm fuzzy blanket.  I had planned on putting in a little time in my craft room last night and creating a card for this weeks hop, but after spending the entire day Spring cleaning, all I wanted to do was crawl into bed as soon as my kiddos went to bed.  So, since I'm feeling lazy and I was too tired to do anything last night, I've got an MDS project to share with you today.  Getting creative from your couch (with your warm fuzzy blanket) is the BEST!  And what better page to create on a cloudy, chilly day...

I took this picture of my son a couple days ago while we were waiting for my twins to finish up baseball practice.  It was a crazy weather day...rain clouds, blue skies and sunshine all at the same time.  I made for an awesome looking sky and a pretty cute picture of this little stinker too.  His mischievous little smile gets me...every.single.time!

 

MDS Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Finest Simplicity, Family Fun Photobook, On the Go, High Tide, Day in the Life, Purple Passion

Stamps ~ See Ya Later (Sale-A-Bration), Game Day, Decorative Overlays

Font ~ A Gentle Touch

 

Now it's time to hop on over to Cathy's creation for today...you're sure to love it!  Or if you prefer to hop backwards, you can head on back to Amy's project...she inspires me each and every week!  Either way, just make sure you make the whole loop and don't miss any of us.  And don't forget to leave us some love on our blogs...we love hearing from you!

 

  Thanks for hopping along with us today!

 

Happy Stamping!

TGIF stampin' friends!  Today some of the fabulous design team members over at Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration had some fun with shaped cards.  This cute little stamp from the See Ya Later stamp set available during Sale-A-Bration was my inspiration behind this card. 

Using the largest die from the new Starburst Framelits, I created my shaped card base. Using the starburst technique, I created the rainbow design behind the sunshine and clouds. 

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, So Saffron, Old Olive, Garden Green, Marina Mist, Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry, Whisteria Wonder, Blushing Bride, Pool Party, Smoky Slate, Whisper White

Ink ~ Versa Mark

Stamp Sets ~ See Ya Later*, Positively Chevron

Other Supplies ~ Starburst Framelits, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, Owl Builder Punch, Cupcake Builder Punch, 1-3/4" Circle Punch, White Embossing Powder

*Sale-A-Bration stamp set, FREE with a $50 purchase*

 

I think this card would cheer anyone up on a gray day, don't you think?!?!?

Valentine's Day is just a month away and I am in full swing with my Valentine's creations!  Today's card was created using this months Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration card sketch. 

There was lots of open space, so I decided to fill mine full of cute DSP in a herringbone sort of way...

Ink ~ Real Red, Coastal Cabana

Stamp Set ~ See Ya Later*

Other Supplies ~ Whisper White Bakers Twine, Fashionable Hearts Embosslits

It's kind of a busy card with all of those patterns, but I kinda like it :-)  I think this would almost even pass for a guy card too...maybe!
