Let’s take a look at the products, then I’ll show you the project I made.

Trusty Tools stamp set # 163274 – $24.00, Trusty Tools Dies #162722 $37.00, and the Trusty Tools Bundle # 162723 (Bundle & Save 10%) $ 54.74

Trusty Tools Bundle

When you purchase the Bundle during Sale-A-Bration, you can earn the Trusty Toolbox DSP for FREE! Look at all that coordination! Makes my heart happy!

Trusty Tools Trifecta! Trusty Tools Stamps, Dies & DSP

Did you know that many of the tools on this DSP can be cropped out with the dies?

Now I want to show you the card I made with this bundle.

Trusty Tools Awesome Hammer

My husband recently added some shelves in a closet for me. He used his drill, screwdriver and of course his tape measure. He also used his hammer to drive in a few nails to hang things on. This card was made to thank him, and I used the tape measure stamp, the screwdriver pattern of the DSP, and the dies to create the hammer. His hammer has a black handle, a red neck and a metal head. I was able to re-create his hammer out of paper. How cool, right?

I will probably get a lot of use out of this bundle. I’ll be sure to share any other cards I make with you. Follow me on Facebook and Pinterest to make sure you don’t miss anything.

Please be sure to share any pictures of projects you make using this bundle! I love to see what you make.

I Was So Silly!

I was so silly when choosing my free items from the Jan/Feb 2023 Sale-A-Bration catalog! Usually, I place a large supply order in January ( I stock up on my envelopes, adhesives, dimensionals, card stock and other consumables) to earn free Sale-A-Bration items on purchases I would normally make throughout the year. A 6 month Paper Pumpkin subscription always gets added to my order so I can earn a Free Sale-A-Bration item on that too! When choosing my free items, I really thought I could live without the Favored Flowers DSP. To be honest, I thought the paper was ‘too busy’ for me. I wound up selecting it anyway thinking I would only use the ‘other’ side with the subtle geometric patterns.

My first choice was the Dainty Flowers and I was waiting very impatiently for that to arrive! Well my order came today, and as I was unpacking it, the first thing I went to was the Favored Flowers DSP. Those flowers! They were so striking I just had to cut that gorgeous paper up to use those flowers! Those flowers I thought I didn’t like. They are just so gorgeous! Silly me! Turns out that I can’t live without that paper!

Favored Flowers DSP in Calypso Coral

The first card I made was using the Calypso Coral hues. I did balance the busy floral side with the more subtle geometric side to create the perfect blend to really make those gorgeous flowers stand out without overwhelming the whole card. The sentiment and label shape are from the Potted Geranium bundle. I hope you like this as much as I do!

Let me show you what I made:

I used the same layout for the 2nd card I made:

Favored Flowers DSP in Blackberry Bliss

This time I used the Blackberry Bliss colored flowers and a sentiment from the Beautifully Happy Stamp set which you can also get for FREE from the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I added a ribbon here so I could play along with the #TicTacToeChallenge, #TTTC194. I used the Diagonal line of Patterned Paper, Flowers & Ribbon/Bow for my entry.

You can check out all the TicTacToeChallenge entries at their website.

Lastly, I fussy cut a flower from this DSP and propped it against a black background textured with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder.

Favored Flowers DSP meets the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder
After seeing both the ‘subtle’ side and the bold floral side, I think you’ll agree – You. Need. This. Paper.

The Favored Flower DSP (# 160833) is a 12×12 pack that is FREE with a qualifying purchase of $50 or more. You can shop my online store here to stock up on essentials, or treat yourself to something on your wish list, and get this paper just as quick as you can! I was so silly to think I could live without this paper, but you don’t have to be also!

Mad for Plaid

I just love plaid, especially buffalo check plaid, so it’s fair to say that I am Mad for Plaid! I was so excited when I saw this cute little 1/4″ Black & White Gingham ribbon in the Holiday Mini Catalog!

BLACK & WHITE 1/4" (6.4 MM) GINGHAM RIBBON

Even more exciting is that the one of the patterns of paper in the Peaceful Prints DSP (available for FREE during SaleABration with a qualifying $50 order) has these adorable tiny Christmas Trees in a green and Black Buffalo Check. I just knew I had to combine this paper and ribbon!

Don’t you just love this? Doesn’t it make you Mad for Plaid also? So quick and easy, but oh so cute!

How it’s made

I started with a piece of Basic Black card stock cut to 5-1/2″ x 6 and folded it in half to make a 5-1/2″ x 3″ card base. Then I added a piece of this cute DSP from the Peaceful Prints which was mounted onto a Garden Green layer. I wrapped a piece of the B&W 1/4″ Gingham ribbon around that panel and tied it in a bow, before adhering it to the card base. I stamped the sentiment in Momento Black ink onto a scrap of Basic White cardstock and fussy cut with my Paper Snips before popping it up on mini Dimensionals.

Here’s another card I made with 2 little variations:

Looks almost the same, but this time I kept the whole sentiment rather than just cropping out part of it. And I tied the ribbon in a knot, rather than a bow. Then I tied on another scrap of ribbon to give more of a rustic look.

Which card do you like best? Leave me a comment below.

The Products

The Peaceful Prints DSP has so many pretty patterns: let’s take a look:

PEACEFUL PRINTS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER
2 each of 6 double-sied 12″x12″ designer series paper in Basic Black, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Real Red & Sahara Sand.

You can easily recreate this card yourself – and earning the Free Peaceful Prints DSP is easy! Here’s how:

  • Christmas to Remember Stamp Set #156300 – $22.00
  • Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon # 156485 2@ $7.00 – $14.00
  • Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad # 132708 – $6.00
  • Basic Black 8-1/2″ x 11″ Cardstock # 121045 – $8.75
    • Total $50.75 – you just earned 1 Free Sale-A-Bration item!

You can shop my online store, safely & securely 24-7, when you click on this link. And thanks for shopping with me!

Last Christmas, I made a really cute Gift Card Holder using the Buffalo Check and a Moose! You can check out that post here. I guess I really have been Mad for Plaid for quite some time!

Sale-A-Bration Shopping Improvements 

As this year’s second Sale-A-Bration event approaches, we’d like to provide clarification about the checkout process.

To enhance the shopping experience, we’ve made improvements to the online store—specifically the process of selecting Sale-A-Bration items while shopping. When shopping the Online Store during Sale-a-Bration from 3 August to 30 September—the earned Sale-A-Bration items will be selected during the checkout process.

Once a customer has finished shopping and reviewed their cart, they will be alerted about their Sale-A-Bration earnings. When they proceed to checkout, they will then select their Sale-A-Bration items. They will not be able to continue the checkout process until they have either selected their free products, or acknowledged the option to proceed to checkout without free products. This was adjusted in order to prevent customer confusion and ensure customers pick their free products.

For more information about this change, please watch the walkthrough video below.

Some Hi-Lights from the 2021 January – June Catalog

If you are an active customer of mine, the new catalogs are on their way to you. Catalogs were mailed out on Dec. 9th and shipped via Bulk Mail but due to the delays the USPS is experiencing, I know many of you have not received your catalogs yet. But the 2021 Catalogs are here and you can view them online here on my blog until the mailman delivers yours to you.

Let me know what your favorite product/suite is from the 2021 January-June catalog!

the Best of the 2020 Holiday Catalog

January 4, 2021 is the LAST DAY to order from the 2020 Holiday Catalog so I thought I’d share a collection of my favorite Christmas projects that I made with products from the 2020 Holiday Catalog.

Red Foil Poinsettia
Tall & Skinny Poinsettia in Petal Pink and Gray
Rococo Rose Poinsettia
Lots of White Space
Sweet Gift Packaging

The Poinsettia Petals stamps and dies seem to be a clear winner here! Even thought the cards I made to mail out used the Nativity Bundle (and I don’t have any pictures!). The Peace and Joy stamp and die bundle came in 2nd. Just 1 day left to grab your favorite from the 2020 Holiday Catalog.

I showed you my favorite Christmas projects from the 2020 Holiday Catalog. Now it’s your turn! Leave me a comment with your favorite from all the projects I posted. Thanks!

Now that Christmas is Over…

So I was asked if I offer Gift Certificates by relatives of one of my customers, and of course my answer was YES! OF COURSE I OFFER GIFT CERTIFICATES! Not only do I offer Gift Certificates, but I usually make a special Gift Certificate Holder to go along with it. So I made 2 special gift certificate holders and I’d like to share one of them with you today. I waited until I knew my customer received her gift before revealing it publicly here. So here goes;

I love the Sentiments in the Peace & Joy Bundle – you can cut out skinny words and 2 sizes of backgrounds for each word, plus there are other words that you can combine to make all sorts of phrases. This bundle is retiring and may sell out so if you are considering it; now’s the time to grab it! The Gold Hoop Embellishments are a great way to make a focal point stand out even more so! The Heartwarming Hugs DSP is a great background for this card. If you enjoy fussy cutting, then you’ll have as much fun making this card as I did! The leaves and holly berries were cropped out with a quick snip from my paper snips!

You can shop my online store here to snag this bundle and the DSP before it’s gone.

The 2021 Jan-June mini catalog and the Jan-Feb 2021 Sale-A-Bration catalogs begin in just a few short days. If you haven’t gotten your catalogs in the mail as of yet, they will be available to view online right here on Jan 5th.

I needed to make some gift card holders, and a card I had just made using the Merry Moose punch was in front of me, and it was the perfect inspiration! I used the elements from the card to make a Merry Moose Gift card holder. And it’s not just any gift card holder; it’s got some motion to it!

Don’t you just love our adorable Merry Moose? He is cropped out with the Moose punch. Both the Merry Moose stamp set and Moose punch are being retired! So if you want to get your hands on this guy, act fast!

All items that are being retired as part of our Giant Year End Close-Out Sale are while supplies last.

The Giant Year End Close-Out begins Dec 8th and ends Jan 4th or when supplies run out. Many items are deeply discounted, and we are anticipating that many items will sell out quickly. Click Here to shop my online store.
