Free Card Tutorial: Seriously The Best Friend


Hello! Happy Fri-Yay!
I’ve got Agility this weekend with Rayven and I’m excited. We are a tad bit rusty but I told her if she gives me “contacts”, I won’t make her give me a lead-out. Fair, Right?
To help you “get your craft on” this weekend, I have a Free Card Tutorial for you! I hope you enjoy my card. 
I think the Seriously The Best stamp set, available in the current Mini Catalog, is one of those “sleeper sets”. It coordinates with the Seriously The Best Project Kit so I think it is overlooked by folks who think it is included with the kit and not available separately. 
I love the large script font and the straight text that goes along with it. And, it is available at a very reasonable price point.
Sale-A-Bration will be over before we know it. If you are still “collecting” items from your Sale-a-bration wish-list, consider adding the Seriously The Best stamp set to your next order.
  • Earn FREE products from the 1st and 2nd Sale-a-bration Release with each $50 you spend 
  • Earn my latest 4-Card Tutorial with orders of $50 or more
  • Paper Pumpkin Pre-Paid Subscriptions are eligible for earning SAB rewards AND you don’t want to miss April’s Kit – It’s sure to please and geared toward celebrating your family and friends.

Honey Bee Hive Gift Box And Coordinating Card

Is this set not the Bees Knees? I was inspired by fellow Demo, Vanessa Stokes, and I was thrilled to be able to pull out my Window Box Thinlits Dies to create a Bee Hive Box! Typing up some super cute “Bee” sayings and printing them on card stock opens up so many possibilities!
Did you know that these dies are currently available in the Clearance Rack? OMGosh! You can create some awesome projects with these! Not just boxes but the inlay dies make fantastic cards too! Or Scrapbook layouts. A Google or Pinterest search will have you deciding these are a must have!
But, don’t delay because the Clearance Rack items are a Limited Supply. Once they are gone, they are gone for good!


Ordering the Window Box Thinlits Dies gets you more than half way to earning a Free Sale-a-bration item too ðŸ˜‰  Download your supply list here and shop following the links below.


Order these dies and enter Host Code NCK3ZJBZ and I will send you the supplies to creating my projects, FREE, as my way of say “Thank You”.  If your order is $50 or more, you will also be prompted to select your FREE Sale-a-bration item AND I will also be sending you my latest 4-Card Tutorial as well – so check your in-box. The Tutorial should arrive within 24 hours so contact me if you don’t see it (after checking your Spam folder of course ðŸ˜‰ )
Happy Stamping!

All Dressed Up Summer Tote Bag


Is this not the cutest little bag?! I’m dying here! So Perfect for handing out my little gifts, mini catalogs, and business cards for my Bag Biz. I CASE’d it from Pinterest. The original was created by fellow demo Catherine Proctor from Australia. She really knocked it out of the park with this one! 
It’s a Tropical Escape in the craft room! Straw hats, beach bags, warm sun, sandy beaches, and Pina Coladas under an umbrella! Yep. I got all that from this fun bag ðŸ˜‰
To create this fun bag yourself, I’ve provided the list of supplies you will need below.

Rise & Shine Tea Bag/Treat Holder

I was so excited to see a new stamp set to coordinate with the Cup Of Cheer Dies – which carried over from the Holiday Catalog. I am a coffee addict. Don’t talk to me before that first, glorious sip of caffeine hits my belly, LOL.
But, this set is not just for us Coffee Lovers! It’s for all of the Tea Lovers too. 
This little tea bag holder was shared by another demonstrator on our demonstator-only Facebook group. I was immediately drawn to it’s vibrant colors and wanted to give it a go myself. 
I have altered the original slightly. If you have seen this before, here are my changes:
  • slightly shorter measurements
  • image layer is a stitched rectangle and is popped-up
  • flap closer tucks under the image layer
  • added a staple and bow to the “tea bag” image
  • added a clothes pin with a punched flower and pearl
I hope you love this project as much as I do. If you try it, and put your own “spin” on it, please visit my Facebook page and share your version with me. I’d love to see it!
To create this project yourself, download the printout and shop my Online Store to gather any of the supplies you need. Remember, all orders of $50 or more qualify for FREE Sale-a-bration item(s) plus my Monthly 4-card Tutorial for even more project ideas.

February 2020 Team Blog Hop - Celebrate With Sale-a-bration



Hello, Welcome to our Team Blog Hop!
Today, we are hopping our way through some fabulous projects featuring Sale-a-bration items – all of which are available for Free with qualifying purchases.  
My card follows a One Sheet Wonder, and Card Sketch, both of which I designed, and features the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper.  I LOVE this paper! It coordinates with the Honey Bee Bundle from the current Mini Catalog. But, you do not “need” that bundle to create fabulous projects. The DSP can be the star of the show with just a sentiment.  I stamped my bees, colored them with Stampin' Blends and cut them out with the coordinating die cut.  However, you could just as easily substitute the bees from the DSP.  Fussy-Cut them out or use the coordinating dies.  Easy Peasy!  
To create this card yourself, I have all of the supplies listed for you below. Shop my Online Store to gather any of the supplies you need. *Remember, all orders of $50 or more qualify for FREE Sale-a-bration item(s) plus my Monthly 4-card Tutorial for even more project ideas – such as the Golden Honey Specialty DSP used in this card!



Be sure to hop along and visit all of the other fantastic projects on our hop! Leave a comment on all of our blogs to enter this month’s giveaway! Congratulations to last month’s winner, Lois Heiland!





Happy Stamping!
