Terrific Toadstools


The first stamp set that I bought from the Mini Catalogue was the Terrific Toadstools bundle on page 53. At $68.25 for the stamp set and punch, it's great value. I've always had a bit of a thing for cute mushrooms. And then of course I added a few other bits and pieces so that I could qualify for the co-ordinating Toadstool Gardens 6" x6" paper on page 8 of the Sale-a-Bration Brochure! (You'd be mad not to, right?!)

Using the 2 together makes for some quick and easy cards. I cut a Stylish Shapes stitched circle from the woodgrain pattern to frame my mushrooms. The colours in this paper - Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Fresh Freesia and Granny Apple Green - are so bright and fun. I used Gray Granite for the stems and sentiment.

Heart-Shaped Card Set


The Heart-Shaped Bundle has been a popular Sale-a-Bration choice. With a $200 spend, you can get a beautiful stamp set and co-ordinating dies. It's the perfect set to use for engagements, weddings, anniversaries and also thank yous and thinking of yous. 
For this set of cards, I combined it with the Timeless Plaid DSP from page 25 of the Mini Catalogue. It has lovely, soft checked and gingham patterns. I'm loving these 3 colours together too - Moody Mauve, Boho Blue and Old Olive (with a dash of Wild Wheat).

Happy Valentine's Day!


It's Valentine's Day, so it is fitting that I share another Heart-Shaped Bundle card. With a $200 spend, you can earn this beautiful stamp set and co-ordinating dies. For this card, I've taken my inspiration from the card on page 13 of the Sale-a-Bration brochure. My colour combo is Old Olive, Wild Wheat and Moody Mauve.
In the background I've used the Timeless Plaid DSP from page 25 of the Mini Catalogue. It has lovely, soft checked and gingham patterns. I used some Iridescent Foil Gems for a bit of sparkle in the flower centres.
I hope you are able to spend time with someone you love today.

Heart-shaped Thank You


Here is my second Heart-Shaped Bundle card, in a pretty shade of blue this time. I've taken inspiration from the card on pages 12-13. I changed my version a bit - I used Boho Blue as my card base and in the background I've used the Timeless Plaid DSP from page 25 of the Mini Catalogue. It has lovely, soft checked and gingham patterns.
The stamps are Photopolymer, so it was easy to line up my 3 thank yous in a row!

Heart-Shaped Hello

It's the perfect set to use for engagements, weddings, anniversaries and also thank yous and thinking of yous. This card is a little hello, so it could be for any occasion, or just to send a little note. I used markers to ink up the heart stamp, in Old Olive, Wild Wheat and Moody Mauve.
In the background I've used the Timeless Plaid DSP from page 25 of the Mini Catalogue. It has lovely, soft checked and gingham patterns.

Brightly Blooming Card Set


The Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper in the Sale-a-Bration brochure (FREE with a $100 order!) is perfect for making quick and easy cards. Especially when you combine it with a greeting stamp set and co-ordinating punch. I've used the Bright Borders stamp set, and To the Point Punch from the Mini Catalogue.
