Little Leaves Card


Last night at Stamp Club, we made versions of this card. Some of the ladies used the Cuttlebug machine and embossing folders to emboss the Riding Hood Red strip of paper. A few even used the "Happy Father's Day" Stamp from the All Holidays stamp set in place of the leaves on the small piece of kraft cardstock. It's a very appropriate card for a man!

Sale-A-Bration Card





Look familiar? Today's project is a card that I totally CASEd (Copied and Shared with Everyone) straight from the Sale-A-Bration mini catalog cover. I thought it was such a fun card, that I wanted to try my hand at it! I didn't have So Saffron paper or ink, but I think the Barely Banana paper, Yoyo Yellow ink and So Saffron ribbon somehow tie together pretty nicely.

Don't forget that Sale-A-Bration ends in just a few days on March 31st. Click on the picture of the Sale-A-Bration catalog on the right hand side of the screen to view all the fun goodies you can get for free with a $50 purchase.
