Ink. Stamp. Share. January Monthly Blog Hop Sale-a-bration

Welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share January Monthly Blog Hop as we showcase products from the 2023 Sale-a-bration Catalog. Our wonderful Design Team members will be sharing their projects and ideas to help inspire you to get creative with these wonderful products. During Sale-a-bration, you can earn exclusive products for free with a qualifying order.

One of the Sale-a-bration products that I haven't had a chance to play with lately is the Sending Support stamp set. This stamp set is a Level 1 Reward that you can earn free with a qualifying order ($50 in the U.S). I love the variety of sentiments and the mix of fonts in this stamp set and I wanted to use it to create a St Patrick's Day card that would be supportive and uplifting. I paired it with the Friendly Gnomes stamp set and coordinating Gnomes Dies and colored the gnome to resemble a leprechaun. The background was created using one of the designs from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper, which is a Level 2 Sale-a-bration Reward you can earn free with a qualifying order ($100 in the U.S.). The combination of greens made it perfect for a St Patrick's Day card.

This cute St Patrick's Day card is a wonderful combination of greens that gives this design a fresh, cheerful look. I attached the layer of designer series paper to the front of the card base to create the background. The tag was die cut using the Something Fancy Dies from Basic White cardstock and I used one of the small dies in this set to die cut the hole at the top of the tag. I tied a piece of the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon through the hole to add some sparkle to the card. For the gnome, I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock and die cut it out with the coordinating die from the Gnomes Dies. I colored the gnome with Stampin' Blends Markers and I love the contrast between the Shaded Spruce and Pumpkin Pie that gives the gnome the feeling of a leprechaun. I colored the sleeves and the flowers with Granny Apple Green and I love that the flowers look similar to clover blossoms that you would associate with St Patrick's Day. The shoes were colored with Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Markers to complete the gnome.

For the sentiment, I heat embossed the image from the Sending Support stamp set using White embossing powder and die cut it using one of the dies from the Something Fancy Dies. I attached it to the bottom of the tag and then added the gnome to the tag with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. I attached the tag to the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals, centering it on the card. For embellishments, I added several Brushed Brass Butterflies to the tag and Evening Evergreen Opal Rounds for a touch of bling to the card front. For the inside of the card, I stamped the sentiment with Tuxedo Black ink and adhered the strip of designer series paper across the bottom, before attaching it to the inside of the card.

Around The World On Wednesday December Blog Hop Something New Something Used

Welcome to the Around the World On Wednesday December Blog Hop as we share projects with the theme, "Something New, Something Used". It's hard to believe this is our last hop for 2022 but I think you will love the wonderful projects and ideas that our Design Team members will be sharing to help inspire you to get creative.

For my card design, I decided to pair the new Friendly Gnomes stamp set from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog, with the Gnomes Dies which are carrying over from the July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. I love that the several of the dies fit the cute gnomes in the new Friendly Gnomes stamp set. For my design, I wanted to create a cute Valentine's Day card using one of the cute gnome images and the Love You sentiment. To create the layout, I used the Framed Florets Dies with one of the designs from the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper. These products are very definitely something I have "used" a lot to create projects over the past two months and I love how they fit with my card theme. This card design is a wonderful example of how you can combine something new, with products that you already own to create new projects.

This cute Valentine's Day card was so much fun to create and I love that one of the designs in the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper, worked perfectly for this card design. I used the detailed hearts die to create the frame in the designer series paper with the cute little hearts and added the Cherry Cobbler Oval frame to the center to frame the focal oval. For the gnome, I stamped the image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock and colored it with Stampin' Blends Markers. I die cut the image out with the coordinating die from the Gnomes Dies and attached it to the Basic White focal oval with Stampin' Dimensionals. to create the sentiment, I stamped the image with Cherry Cobbler Classic ink onto the Blushing Bride sentiment label and attached it to the bottom of the oval with Stampin' Dimensionals, just below the gnome's feet. I decided not to add any embellishments to my card design, preferring to let the hearts frame stand out.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to combine some of your old favorites with new products coming soon in the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog. It's a great way to show some love to some of the products you already have and give them new life when combined with new options.
