This is IT!

Today is the last day for earning FREE items during the Sale-a-Bration celebration. And I have one final card, made with FREE stamps and FREE paper:

I saw this layout on Mary Fish's blog, and decided to give it a go. It's a Thick Basic White card base, with the greeting, from Heal Your Heart, stamped directly in the upper right corner. Then I took a piece of Basic White with some of the patterned paper from Paper Blooms (FREE during Sale-a-Bration) adhered to it, and cut it at an angle. This was then added to the card base with Dimensionals.

The flowers are cut directly from the patterned paper - so easy! And added along the diagonal cut using Dimensionals.

Though technically not "simple stamping" due to the addition of the Pastel Pearls, this is an easy card. But who wouldn't like to get one in the mail?

Grab your FREE Sale-a-Bration items today! It's your last chance. Tomorrow they will be gone for good!

Simple Stamping

What is Simple Stamping? Exactly what it sounds like - creating with only some stamps, ink and paper. No die cuts. No embellishments, like pearls or ribbon. Just SIP - Stamps, Ink and Paper.

So when I was considering what to do with some of the FREE patterned paper I got during the Sale-a-Bration specials, I thought one pattern in particular leant itself to some simple stamping:

My first thought when I looked at the paper was "birthday balloons". Then I thought about stamping directly onto the paper, and came up with this card.

And the best part? It's all FREE! Well most of it, anyway. The stamps are from Approaching Perfection, a FREE stamp set, and the patterned paper is from Paper Blooms, one of the FREE paper packs. What's better than FREE? How about EASY?

This card came together in minutes - I borrowed the colors for the card base (Soft Sea Foam) and the layer (Night of Navy), and stamped it all with Night of Navy ink.

If you still have a Sale-a-Bration Wish List, now is the time to cash in...Sale-a-Bration ends on Sunday evening, so be sure to place your qualifying order before then and grab yourself some cute stamps and paper packs! FREE!

Heading to the Finish Line

Sale-a-Bration comes to an end on Sunday. Have you gotten everything on your wish list? I'm having such a good time with all the patterned paper, FREE with a qualifying purchase. Here's another sample:

This card was one from my Cards-by-Mail class this month, and highlights the FREE Flower & Field Designer Series Paper. I LOVE this particular piece of paper, although there are 12 patterns to love!

Look at the beautiful colors and the stylized flowers - SO pretty!

The patterned paper is mounted on a skinny Basic Black layer, which is on top of a Basic White layer embossed with the Painted Texture embossing folder (my new favorite folder!). A simple greeting (from Here's a Card) on a Tasteful Label and a few Matte Black Dots finish it off.

Be sure to complete your order prior to Sunday night in order to pick up this pretty paper! Because once it's gone, it's gone for good!

There's Still Time

There's still time to get in on the wonderful FREE products offered during the best "sale" of the year - Sale-A-Bration! But time is running out!

One of my favorite items featured in the SAB Catalog is the Berry Blessings and Berry Delightful patterned paper. This duo comes with a $100 qualifying order, a bit pricey to be sure, but if your wish list is anything like mine, you are sure to have enough to qualify AND get a FREE stamp set with coordinating paper!

I featured some of this paper on another card last week, and decided (since I still had some basket material left) to create a similar, yet different card:

Yes, another berry basket! This time I added Berry Delightful corners (using the Stitched Triangle dies) and a rounded handle (Layering Circle dies), along with the strawberries. I thought about using raspberries (from the Berry Blessings set) but didn't feel like fussy-cutting them all! 😁 So I opted to use the Strawberry Builder Punch with the berries from Sweet Strawberry.

Sweet Strawberry is a set from the January - June Mini Catalog and will be with us until May. But that great plaid paper is only around until Sunday, when Sale-a-Bration ends.
