Tri-fold Birthday Card

The butterfly image used on this card is from the Strength & Hope stamp set, which is in the Summer mini catalog.  Stampin' Up! is donating $2 from the sale of every one of these sets to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  For more information about BCRF, visit www.bcrfcure.org  The front and inside sentiments are unfortunately from a retired set, Bring on the Cake, from the Occasions mini catalog.  The Designer Series Paper is from the Elegant Soiree collection. 

Just Believe Card Case

This was a group effort project that we did when our great friends Kevin & Patty came to visit a couple of weeks ago from Nebraska!  It was a replica of one that we've done in the past.  This case holds 8 cards and envelopes.  It features the Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper along with the Just Believe stamp set.  The clear plastic card holder was cut in half with one half attached on either side of the case, they can be purchased at http://www.clearbags.com/

Petal Cone Pouch

The Petal Cone die for the Big Shot is very versatile.  This is a simple pouch that can be used for a simple treat or gift.  The die even cuts out the banner that's across the front.  The sentiment is from the Live, Laugh, Love set, which can be chosen for FREE with a $50 order during the final days of Sale-a-Bration, which ends on March 31st.  The pouch is decorated with paper from the Elegant Soiree collection.

Flowers for a Friend

Here's another sample using the SAB exclusive Sweet Summer stamp set.  We seriously did not even give this set much thought until we saw our fellow demonstrators creating such beautiful samples with it.  This card includes some Crumb Cake seam binding ribbon and a button from the neutrals collection, both of which coordinate perfectly with the Elegant Soiree DSP color scheme.  The "Friend" stamp comes from another stamp set we mistakenly overlooked called You're a Gem from the Occasions mini catalog. 

Live, Laugh, Love

Here's another one of the cards that we did at our February Sale-a-Bration workshop last Sunday.  The "Live, Laugh, Love" sentiment is from one of the many stamp sets that can be selected for FREE for every $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration, which only lasts through March 31st.  The images are from the Sweet Summer set, which is exclusive to SAB!  The images were colored in using blender pens.  The Elegant Soiree DSP serves as a perfect background and provides a beautiful color scheme.  The bow was made using Baja Breeze seam binding ribbon from the Occasions mini catalog, and cinched with a Very Vanilla 5/16" jumbo brad.
