Affection Collection Cards

We received the Affection Collection stamp set as part of our Convention 2012 package.  These two cards feature the set, along with the new Lacy Brocade embossing folder, Window Frames Framelits Collection, and Festive Paper-Piercing Pack, all three from the Holiday 2012 catalog.  Our apologies for the poor lighting in the photos, the top colors are Elegant Eggplant and Perfect Plum, and the bottom colors are River Rock and Always Artichoke, both with a Very Vanilla base. 

More Flower Fest

Here's a simple card using the Flower Fest set.  Our favorite part is that just about every stamp in the set (except the leaves) matches a punch!!!  That's how EVERY set should be!!!  The centers of the flowers were embellished with basic rhinestones, and Cherry Cobbler seam binding ribbon was used to decorate the bottom.  The colors are Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, and Very Vanilla. 

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.
