Designer Paper Share

If you are like me, you want every one of the new designer series papers!  It seems like I use the papers more and more all the time, it is hard to make a card or a scrapbook page without adding some pizzzzzas with these papers.
 
Because I know how much fun it is to have at least a little of each of the papers I am putting together a special 6 X 6 DESIGNER PAPER SAMPLER PACK!   
 
This will give you the opportunity to check out all the different patterns before you buy the package.  And, you will have a wide variety for your projects.  You will have a 6 X 6 square, one each of twelve designs, from 20 Packages of paper (this does not include the Patterns Papers on page 159).  The cost to you will be $30, plus $4.95 if you want it shipped to you!  I will need to have eight people sign up before I can order for this project so let me know if you are interested so we can get started.  I have two people, Michelle and Kelli, on my Sampler Pack List now.


Designer Paper Sampler Pack:  $30 (plus shipping @ $4.95)

The Elegant Thank You Stamp

ElegantThankYou Have you noticed the single stamps at the back of the catalog on page 208?  This is a page dedicated to items UNDER $10.

It has 2 Mini Note kits as well as a bunch of single stamps you can purchase.


These kits and stamps make it very economical to create a number of different occasion cards for your friends and loved ones. I thought I would put up a couple samples of the Elegant Thank you stamp.

Ideas for your Sale-A-Bration products!

Since you may have some Sale-A-Bration products by now, I thought I would share some samples to show you just what you can do with those products.

SABwalfordsample Here is a sample created by Canadian Demonstrator Andrea Walford.  She used 3 products from the Sale-A-Bration catalog as follows:

  • Polka Dot Punches stamp set
  • Congratulations stamp set
  • Delicate Dots Designer Series Paper

The other supplies include the Full Heart Punch and brads of your choice.  Sahara Sand, Basic Black, Kiwi Kiss and Bashful Blue Cardstock.  The card uses Basic Black Classic Ink.  This is a great card for any occasion.


Showcasebotanicals This next sample uses the Delicate Dots Designer Series paper and the Botanical Blooms stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  It also uses the Garden Greetings stamp set but you could use any sentiment stamp set.

You finish it off with Sahara Sand, Bashful Blue and Whisper White cardstock and the Scallop Edge Punch with a soft subtles brad for the accessories.

Feel free to contact me for more samples and projects created with the Sale-A-Bration sets or to place your order to get your Sale-a-Bration products.


Check out the Hardware

Hoorayhardware Some new great products in the Spring/Summer Idea Book and Catalog include the Hooray Hardware (on page 175)and Bright Delight Rub Ons (on page 172).
 
Brads & grommets always add a nice finishing touch to a project, but these substantial hardware pieces add so much more. Their size and intricate details make them stand out on any project.  Follow these directions to set your Hooray Hardware:
  • Punch a 1/16" hole in card stock with your Crop-A-Dile.
  • Set your Crop-A-Dile to B-1.  Side B is completely flat.  Side 1 has a small nub to hold the grommet in place.
  • Insert your grommet into the hole you punched.
  • Slide your Crop-A-Dile over the grommet, fitting the nub of Side 1 into the stem of the grommet.
  • Press down slowly on your Crop-A-Dile using medium pressure.  If you press down too hard, you will leave an indentation.
  • Your grommet is now set in your card stock!
 
The Bright Delight Rub-Ons also coordinate well with the Owl Together Now stamp set.  Learn how to use the rub-ons in my Stamping 101 Class!  This month the class is Monday evening, March 30, at 6:30 in the Cat/Art Studio ~ it's free ~ just come and bring your questions with you.  These cool accessories make decorating your cards and scrap book pages fun and exciting. And, these Rub-Ons come in 4 colors to make it simple to match with your cardstock and accessories.
