LAST DAY OF SALE-A-BRATION FOR 2016! Are you sad? I can’t believe it. Today I have my last card to share with you for Sale-A-Bration using the ‘Botanicals For You’ set. This one I made a few weeks ago at a stamping day at my friend Leonie’s. She CASED it from Pinterest and I CASED it from her. That’s what friends are for right. 🙂
To get the 3 colours on the image I inked up the top 1/3 in Smoky Slate, then inked the bottom 1/3 in Black. Then with the Basic Gray marker I coloured in the centre. The stems are stamped in Smoky Slate. Then I added some little red flowers for some ‘POP’ of colour. These flowers are punched from a retired punch. I can’t remember what that is. It is all layered on some Neutrals Colour Collections Stack with black mats and the base is the Thick Whisper White. The card is cut lengthways on the card sheet and scored half way so the opening is at the top.
You might not see too well but I stella-d the words. (Yes, that is a new stamping term didn’t you know!).
I went over the words with the Clear Wink of Stella Brush for some sparkle.
I did decorate the inside but forgot a photo. I just added a strip of the DSP and then added another red punched flower.
OK, so I hope you have all your Sale-A-Bration orders in? Tomorrow is too late.
Thanks for visiting me today. I will see you again,
Jenny 🙂
Tomorrow is the last day of Sale-A-Bration for the year! Do you think this time has flown by too? Crazy! I am squeezing in a couple of last minute Sale-A-Bration cards with you.
I have loved colouring this little chick from ‘Honeycomb Happiness’. Isn’t his (or her) face sweet? This card I made a few weeks ago to send out to a few customers I haven’t heard from in a while. The idea came from Pinterest. I changed the size to make it a standard size card.
I have coloured the chick with the Hello Honey inkpad and aquapainter. I love how he is peeking out from the circle. I cut 2 circles in Calypso Coral card and created a window frame for him. I have layered it on the Sale-A-Bration paper ‘Wildfower Fields’ and layered this to a Calypso Coral card mat and then a Thick Whisper White cared base. The card was finished off with some punched flowers using the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and some Rhinestone bling.
This next card was made for a friend’s daughter who is not well. I just thought I would cheer her up. This card was also cased from Pinterest.
The chick is once again painted with the Inkpad (Daffodil Delight) and aquapainter. I cut it out and raised it up off the card with dimensionals. I stamped the balloon on the card and then stamped it again separately and raised it up. The Designer Series Paper is from the ‘It’s My Party’ paper stack and matted on Black and then on the card base of Calypso Coral. You can’t see it but I did add some Wink of Stella sparkle on the balloon.
Don’t forget to get your last minute Sale-A-Bration orders in. I am taking orders until 8pm tomorrow night or you can order online at my store HERE.
Thanks for visiting,

We had a HOT day today. Phew! I felt I was melting. A change in the weather has come through now which has lowered the temps a bit. I still managed to get a little stamping in. The fan was roaring but I was in a creative mood. I did have to stop though in the end after 3 cards because it just got a little too much.
I will share all the cards over time but I thought I would show you the last card I made today. Maybe it was my favourite from the day, then again I don’t know. 🙂
As I was melting the brain got a little foggy so I CASED this card. This is a sample of the card on page 5 of the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue using ‘Botanicals For You’.
It is a cute little 10cm x 10cm (4″ x 4″) card.
I wasn’t sure what colour it was in the catalogue. We have so many yellows to choose from. I have made mine in Hello Honey. The colours for the images are Hello Honey, Soft Sky, Mossy Meadow and Blushing Bride. A little sparkle with Silver Glimmer Paper and Silver Doily. I realise just now that I forgot to add the Pearls to the centre of the flowers. I will go back and do that now but just imagine they are there. 😉
This cute set is one of the free choices you can get with your $90 order during Sale-A-Bration. I hope you have had a chance to check out the catalogues now. (The links are in the side column).
Thanks for visiting me today. I hope the weather is kind to you wherever you are. It will be another hot one here tomorrow but then I guess it is Summer and it has been slow coming this season.

They say a change is as good as a holiday, right?? I thought it was time to freshen up my blog and update it. I spent a few hours last night and today changing the look and updating all the information. It is still a work in progress but it is a good feeling. Maybe this is following my decluttering of the house. 🙂
If you receive my blog posts as an email or in your reader you wouldn’t notice any changes. Maybe stop by occasionally. It is always surprising when I visit blogs that I get through email.
You will now find the Page Tabs at the top. I have a page there for my tutorial posts which is updated often. There is also pages there on Stampin’ Up! specials and Joining and Party information Plus my Class Schedule. So stop a while and visit. I always like a comment now and then too. So don’t forget to say ‘HI’ once in a while. It’s nice to know I am not talking to myself. I do that enough 😉
I am going to be reorganising my Pinterest boards next and update my newsletters. So watch out!!! Have you subscribed to my newsletter? There is a link in the right hand side bar to do just that.
Thanks for stopping by. Grab a cuppa and have a look around. I will be back soon with some more inspiration.

I shared the Fold Flat (3D) cards the other day. I have made one of these cards using some great Sale-A-Bration products. (Only 5 sleeps to go until Sale-A-Bration begins!). You will love this year’s offerings for Sale-A-Bration. There are so many fantastic products. It will be hard to choose believe me. 🙂
Here is the card but you can see how to make them in the earlier post HERE.
Don’t you love that swirly paper?? It makes the plane look like it is flying over the ocean! This paper is the ‘Perfectly Artistic’ Designer Series paper and comes in 12 sheets of 12″x12″ and available in so many gorgeous colours in the pack. This one is Tempting Turquoise. The stamp set is ‘Sky is the Limit’ A great one for those male cards!
On the front panel I stamped the clouds on the white card and stamped the plane in Basic Gray. I stamped the plane again on scrap white and cut it out and raised it up with Dimensionals. The greetings which come in the set are stamped in Basic Gray on Crushed Curry card and cut with the ‘Lots of Labels’ Framelits. They were raised up with Dimensionals too. The little loops are from the Burlap Ribbon. I cut off the edge of the Burlap and then pulled off a couple of threads and looped them around. I adhered them onto the back of the label with glue dots. These give a little wavy look rather than than using the Linen Thread this time. I added a Turquoise Candy Dot to finish but I am still not convinced of that but it is there now. 🙂
There you have it. Now I know you are going to want to grab this set. This set and the paper are only available until February 15 and then some new products will be offered so be quick.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jenny
I made these cards even earlier than the one I showed last post. These are using the set ‘Lots of Joy’ again which is found in the Annual Catalogue. I have to say I made these in a hurry. Just simple cards but they can be done quickly.
Both are in Mint Macaron. I have used a left-over piece of the Envelope Paper on the left one. On the right one I embossed a piece of Mint Macaron with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. The tree was stamped and punched with the Tree Punch. The white piece is layered on some Silver Foil. I finished them off with the Organza Ribbon. I added some Silver Ribbon to the right hand one. Simple!!
Thanks for stopping by.

Now that I have shared a lot of the projects that I have made for the markets and Fairs I thought I would show you the Make and Take I had at the last Craft Fair event. It had to be quick and I hope impressive?? I made a quick tag. Of course with the very beautiful set ‘Wonderland’.
This tag was inspired by one from my friend Vanessa. Simply stamp the trees in Garden Green on a piece of White cardstock and stamp again to stamp a fainter impression. Tear a piece of the Winter Wonderland Vellum Stack to adhere at the bottom. Punch out a small star with the Gold Foil and add a Rhinestone. At the top punch with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and tie off some Garden Green Striped ribbon.
It was a simple one for even those who had never stamped before and they loved it. I don’t think you can make a bad project with this set really. Can you??
Did you realise that this set will not be available after January 4th?? You better grab it now. Don’t regret it. Now how many times have you debated about a stamp set and then after it is gone you realised you REALLY SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT!!!! Don’t regret this one.
Now before I leave you I thought I would show you my display at the last Fair. We were all squashed in but that was OK right?? This set up was similar to most of the events I have done recently.
A close up of the shelves with the boxes and other of the gifts. The Easel Calendars were on the shelf above which you can’t see.
Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon,
Jenny 🙂
