Sale-a-Bration Sundays Flight and Airy DSP Get Well Box-VIDEO

Today's box is so pretty! This week I'm featuring the Flight and Airy DSP for Sale-a-Bration Sunday. Earn this amazing pack of DSP FREE during Sale-a-Bration with a qualifying order. I'll be the first to tell you I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this DSP stack, in the catalog it looks ok but you can't appreciate the beauty of it until you're looking at it in person! The watercolor images are stunning, the soft pastel colors are so spring-like and the basic patterns on the reverse side are going to perfect year round! Snag this DSP FREE while supplies last. Today I'm using the DSP for everything! Most of my layers are the DSP and the only stamping is the greeting. The birds are fussy cut from the DSP, sorry no dies for this one.

I'm calling this my 'Get Well Box'. In my box are tissues, cough drops and a chapstick. This is a great gift to drop off for a friend who's not feeling well and they will be so touched that you thought of them! My box is a basic clam shell style and I jazzed up the front with the Handmade Tag Punch, this makes a fun finger notch to open the box easily but it's much fancier than a circle punch. The box is finished with some Iridescent Foil Gems and some Lemon Lolly Baker's Twine from the three twine combo. Both in the Mini Catalog.

Awesome Trusty Tools Fun Fold

I am loving the new Trusty Tools Bundle and the coordinating Trusty Toolbox DSP. You can earn the DSP FREE during Sale-a-Bration with a qualifying order. I used a bunch of the tool dies in the bundle for all of my tools. I love that there are dies for each layer so that you can make some really realistic images. The drill is my favorite! I used the Holographic Paper for the metallic parts of the tools. For my stamping I stamped my greeting in Pretty Peacock and the nuts and screws on the DSP in Lost Lagoon.

This fun fold card is pretty unique. I have the measurements listed below. On the card base accordion fold the score lines and adhere the two panels on the 1" panel on top. This card gives you lots of room for stamping and embellishing, or use some of our amazing DSP like I did for this card.

Doggone Friendly Box-VIDEO

I've received lots of comments on the super cute Doggone Friendly Background Stamp. Everyone loves it but it's intimidating. It's a LOT of coloring and that can sometimes push people away especially if you don't love to color. Well, I'm here today to show you a project that uses the stamp, or at least part of it and there is zero coloring! You can easily take the elements from this box and put it on a card for some simply stunning results. Let's break down how fun this giant background stamp is to use!

To stamp my image I placed my background stamp face up on my glass mat-TIP-it will stick to your glass mat making it easy to ink and stamp! Get the Stampin' Glass Mat Studio FREE when you join my team during Sale-a-Bration! Join today! With the stamp face up I inked up my stamp in Pecan Pie. If you're only making one of these boxes you don't have to ink up the entire stamp, just a portion big enough for your paper. If you are making a bunch ink up the entire stamp and place a few on there at a time. After your paper is on the stamp, grab a scratch piece of paper and place it over your cardstock and gently rub the stamp. Stamping it upside down like this will make it easier to get a clean image with the big stamp and it's a lot easier than trying to manage a giant block. Peel off your scrap paper and gently lift your image and viola-a perfectly stamped image! There's no need to color it, it's ready to go as is onto your box.

For my box I'm doing a basic clamshell style box. I've made a ton of these, they're easy and quick. I'm jazzing up the front with a curved edge and the sides are trimmed at an angle for even more interest. I've never done this and I kinda LOVE it! Because the sides are being trimmed I wanted to have some DSP peeking through, I love the Glorious Gingham DSP in the Annual Catalog. It's simple patterns go with any project! Inside my box are six Hershey Kisses. I found some Valentine ones at Costco-Snoopy themed keeping with our dog theme. I've also seen the Snoopy Hershey Kisses at my local Walmart and Target so check around in your area.

Pecan pie 5" x 7"

Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration Launch Class

Over the weekend I held my in person New Catalog Launch. This is one of my favorite classes of the year. I love that we're launching two catalogs and Sale-a-Bration is my absolute favorite time of the year! Who doesn't love to earn FREE products!?!

I'm not listing a supply list or measurements that's a perk for my in person guests. If you're in the Albuquerque area and want to attend one of my classes contact me for my class schedule.

The first card uses a new Sale-a-Bration Bundle, the Softly Sophisticated Bundle includes stamps and an embossing folder. The DSP is from the Perennial Lavender DSP in the Mini Catalog.

I love the next card. It's simple but sooo cute! I'm using the Sunny Days DSP from the Sale-a-Bration Catalog. It's designed to coordinate with the Bright Skies Bundle in the Mini Catalog. I love it!

The Lighter Than Air Suite is gorgeous and we used every bit of that suite on this card! The bundle, DSP, twine and dots. LOVE it!

If you have a handyman in your life you'll love the Trusty Tools Bundle in the new Mini Catalog, and it coordinates with the Trusty Toolbox DSP that you can earn free during Sale-a-Bration. The tools are die cut with some Silver Foil to resemble the metal on the tools. It's an easy thing to do that makes a big impact!

The final card is maybe my favorite. I love the fun retro colors with the phone! Sweet Sorbet and Coastal Cabana are soo good together! The images in the Let's Chat Set from the new Mini Catalog are so fun!

Sale-a-Bration Sundays Sunny Days DSP Angled Gatefold Fun Fold-VIDEO

It's time for another Sale-a-Bration Sunday! Today we're talking about the Sunny Days DSP! This DSP is soooo stunning, I think it's my favorite DSP in the Sale-a-Bration Catalog! Today I have another fun fold for you! This one has been floating around the internet lands for a while. This angled gatefold fun fold card is soooo pretty! I love the patterns I chose for this card but any of the patterns in the DSP would be amazing!

I'm using a belly band to add some more interest. I added some flowers with the Translucent Florals Dies. I love these dies and I thought they looked similar to the flowers on the DSP. I die cut them from Vellum and colored them with Stampin' Blends. In addition I'm using the Perennial Postage Bundle for my greeting and belly band. These dies are incredible! I finished the card with the new Iridescent Foil Gems.

Brighter Skies

The Bright Skies Bundle in the new Mini Catalog is soooo much fun and it's right up my ally for my style of sets. I love the fun whimsical images and all the dies in this set. There are so many bonus dies in this set, like raindrops, cloud borders and more! I decided to do a fun fold for this card. Fun folds are always a good go to when you want to do something special for a friend or family member. This fun fold is super easy and you can vary how to do this one. I have a bonus flap on the top, but you could easily add the flap on the side or even the bottom too, measurements would all stay the same.

I used the Raindrops Embossing Folder in the Annual Catalog to help enhance my background. I added lots of Wink Of Stella to the sun and raindrops. When in doubt add sparkle! The DSP is from the Sale-a-Bration Catalog, Softly Stippled DSP. This one has lots of great basic patterns good for any project.

Bee Mine Mini Tic Tac Box-VIDEO

Today I have the cutest and sweetest and smallest little treat box for you! This one is palm sized but packed with cuteness! I'm using the new Bee My Valentine Bundle. This adorable bee themed set with a coordinating punch is perfect for all of your Valentine projects. The greetings are punny and the images are cute! What more could you ask for!?!

My bee is stamped in Melon Mambo, the cardstock is also Melon Mambo. I stamped the solid part of the bee image off twice for a really light shade of Melon Mambo. The stripes and face are stamped in full strength Melon Mambo.

I punched the bee's wings in Vellum. I wrapped the box in a piece of the Simply Adored DSP. This DSP is only available during Sale-a-Bration and only available FREE with your qualifying purchase. I added a bow with the Simply Elegant Trim to finish the box. Inside my box are two mini Tic Tac treats. These make the perfect gift and I found a box of 60 of them on Amazon. That mean you can make 30 of these adorable boxes!
