ESAD 2017 Occasions Catalogue and Sale-a-bration blog hop

Hello and welcome to my blog. I am once again taking part in a blog hop, this time showing you projects from the Occasions catalogue and also a Sale-a-bration item. You will have come from the very talented Libby's Blog if you have been following the hop.

My project today is a little box and matching card using the Window box thinlits die found on page 43 of the Occasions catalogue. The other products I used are Falling in Love Designer Series Paper and Falling in Love 12 x 12 card stock found on page 51. With these items I qualified for a free Sale-a-bration item and I chose the Delicate Details stamp set on page 9. This lace stamp really added to my card which is made using one of the small square dies in the window Box dies. I also used some of the new Vanilla Satin ribbon also found in the Falling in Love Suite.
This will make a great present and matching card for a friend or family member. I am planning on finding a scarf that will fit perfectly into the box. 

 The detail on the lid of the box. You can choose to leave the lid solid but adding this delicate die cut really adds to the box. I have added the DSP under the cutout but you can leave it open.

Now you can hop on over to check out the lovely items that Cherly O'Bree has made.

Items I used in my projects.

  

 

thank you for stopping by.

A Happy Thing

Hi there, 

I love lemons. They are so good in cooking and makes a glass of water taste wonderful with a few slices in. I have a tree in my back yard. 

When I saw the set A Happy Thing in the Sale-a-bration catalogue this year I had to have it. The stamp only has one lemon but with some masking you can add as many as you like, I also love the bird and have used it by cutting it out and adding to a floral stamp or just on its own like on the calendars. Blendabilities make colouring it so easy.

 I haven't added a greeting to this card yet so I can choose one when it is needed

 The DSP is from Birthday Bash and Painted Blooms. The sentiment is from the Lotus Blossom stamp set.

 the greeting here is from Guy Greetings 

 The blossom is from Indescribable Gift

I'm doing well this year as it is only just over a month and I have posted more than I did all of last year. Now I just need to keep it up.

 

Occasions Catalogue Launch

Hi there,

I have finished my second session of my catalogue launch and thought I would pop in to show you a couple of the cards I have made for the launch.
I had 8 guest on Saturday and 4 today and it was fun to show all the sample cards I made to them. Everyone was happy to be able to also receive a free item from Sale-a-bration when their order reached $90. 

The make and take was a card I cased from Pinterest and then changed around a little to make my own version of the card. I am loving the new DSP Painted Blooms and have used it on quite a few of my cards. The stamp set is Petal Potpourri using the matching punch.

this is the cased card from Angie Leach and she had a portrait version as well.

 and this is the changed version. 

 I have used Pacific Point card stock to match with the DSP and the ribbon is a Sale-a-bration ribbon. I used Wild Wasabi for the leaves. The sentiment is from the Butterfly basics set. 

Thanks for stopping by. I will be back soon to show you some more of my sample cards. Have a good week.


 

ESAD Sale-a-bration Blog Hop

hello there, 
 Welcome to my blog for the blog hop. You may have come from Monique's Blog or just starting here. There are 25 blogs for you hop around to see a sample of what is coming for you this sale-a-bration time.
Yes I know I have been very remiss in not blogging since last Blog hop but here I am now with a few cards for you made with Sale-a-bration items. 

 This first card I have used part of the designer paper Sweet Sorbet,

I stamped the small flower from Banner Blast and punched it out with the Itty Bitty punch. I have used twine from the Sweet Sorbet accessory pack. The greeting is from Sassy Salutations.

Another card made using the DSP Sweet Sorbet. I also stamped the flowers from Petal Parade stamp set. It makes card making easy using the DSP as the main part of the card.

 I saw a card made with this cute little Alligator on so I decided to change it a little and show you here. I stamped the scalloped strip from Petal Parade and used another piece of the Sweet Sorbet DSP. The greeting is from the set See Ya later and fits well with the fun Alligator.I also used the embossing folder from the SAB brochure called Decorative Dots. Its a great one to have in your collection.

Another stamp set I like from the choices this year is You're Lovely. I used the strip of flowers and painted them using Raspberry Ripple. This stamp set coordinates with the Deco Labels framelits. 

 I got the idea for this card from Pinterest and just changed a couple of things. I even used some scraps from the Good as Gold card kit. The colour used here is Pool Party. 

 well I think I have shown you a good selection to whet your appetite for the wonderful items from this years sale-a-bration catalogue. Now its time to hop along to Paula's blog

Punch Bunch

Hi there,

Today I have spent the day with my 2 friends making cards. I cased a lovely card using Punch Bunch. One of the Sale-a-bration sets for this year. The original was by passionflower and had a yellow card. I used Basic Black for the main card with Real Red DSP and Wild Wasabi DSP.
