SUDSOL Occasions and Sale-A-Bration Blog Tour

I'm so excited to be a part of the SUDSOL Blog Tour!  I love being a SUDSOL member.  The creative ideas for projects alone are so worth it, but the business information available to members is invaluable.  Fellow demonstrators, check out SUDSOL and sign up for the FREE Two Week Trial!! You won't be sorry!!

Well, let's get to the good stuff!  My first card is a bright and bold Valentine card featuring punch art and fun embellishments.

I used the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to add the Heart embossed pattern to the bottom of the card.  There's a bit of glitz added here and there with the all new Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details glitter glue and some pearls and rhinestones!

Here's what I put on the inside.  I love the way our punch shapes nest on each other!

Supplies Used:

Cardstock - Basic Grey, Blushing Bride, Riding Hood Red, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White

Ink - Riding Hood Red, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Grey

Punches - Full Heart Punch, Doily Triple Layer Punch, 3/4 Inch Circle Punch, 1-3/8 Inch Circle Punch, Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch, Large Lace Ribbon Border Punch, Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch, Fashionable Hearts Embosslits Die

Embellishments - Basic Pearls Jewel Accents, Basic Rhinestones Jewel Accents, Twitterpated Designer Buttons, Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, White Bakers Twine, Sale-A-Bration Brad and Ribbon Pack, Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details

Stamp Set - P.S. I Love You

My next card is more vintage in design.  It features some of my favorite new products, the Labels Collection Framelits Dies and the Rue Des Fleurs - Clear-Mount Stamp.  For this card, I cut the 3rd largest Labels die from the center of a piece of Blushing Bride cardstock, then embossed it using the Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Die. I added dimensionals behind this piece to raise it off the stamped image of the umbrella, which I stamped with Soft Suede on Whisper White cardstock.  Next I fussy cut out 2 of the border designs included in the stamp set and added them on top of the frame using dimensionals.

Notice the Scrunchy little bow?  This is Espresso Taffeta ribbon tied with 3 loops, then melted with my heat gun to give it that old wrinkled look.  Isn't it cool?!  I added 3 basic pearls just under the bow.

On the inside of the card, I stamped a couple of more images from the stamp set in Soft Suede.

My last card uses the fabulous new products you can find in the Sale-A-Bration catalog!  My favorite new stamp set is Elementary Elegance which features a frame that matches our curly label punch!

I popped the frame with dimensionals to give it depth and added the sentiment over the edge of the frame for extra interest.

I also used some of the ribbon and a brad from the Sale-A-Bration Ribbon and Brad bundle along with the new Designer Series Paper from SAB called Everyday Enchantment. 
Supplies

Gnome Sweet Gnome!

I'm so excited to have the new products to play with from the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog that goes live on January 4th!  One of my favorite new products is the Gnome Sweet Gnome Stamp Set.  I just think they are so cute!

My card today used lots of new products from the new Occasions Mini Catalog.  Do you notice the nesting shapes?  No, they are not Spellies, they are new Framelits from Sizzix and SU!.  I used the new Labels Collection dies for the layers on the front of the card.  Next you might have noticed the decorative edge on the bottom of the card with matching embossing and stamped dots.  This was done with 3 new products from the new catalog: Edgelit Dies, Adorning Accents; Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, Adorning Accents; and Bordering on Romance stamp set.

Next up, I used the new Designer Series Paper collection called Twitterpated.  I just love it and the colors used in the collection.  Coordinating with this paper you will notice the Pleated Satin Ribbon in Riding Hood Red.  It's also available in multiple colors, which I had to have.  The tiny blue button on the sentiment is from the new Twitterpated Designer Series buttons.  And, the hearts are cut from real red and blushing bride cardstock with the new Embosslits Fashionable Hearts die!

Here's the inside of the card; another embossed heart and a coordinating image from Gnome Sweet Gnome Stamp set. 

The sentiment, "To Gnome You is to Love You.", is from the new Gnominclature stamp set.  I hope you enjoyed my card.  I really enjoyed playing with my new toys.  You can get these new toys for yourself on January 4th.  Email me to place an order.
