A Perfect Marriage: Waterfront + Glamper Greetings

Hey Crafty Friends,

Do you have friends and family who love the great outdoors?  This card will delight anyone who enjoys getting away from it all!

 How cute is that?  I'm a beach girl, so I love creating these scenes of sand, water and palm trees.  What an idyllic campsite this would be!

 The camper is part of the Glamper Greetings stamp set, stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black and colored it with Stampin' Blends.  For each card, I fussy-cut the camper and adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I made 3 of these cards and experimented with different colors on each one.  This camper is colored with Smoky Slate, Calypso Coral & Bermuda Bay.

This one is colored in Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay & Pool Party.  The card base is Crumb Cake cardstock and the mat is cut from Bermuda Bay.

Each of the background elements on this card was stamped using the Waterfront stamp set from the Occasions catalog.  I love stamp sets that give you a lot of "bang for the buck" and Waterfront does just that.  There are 10 images that can be combined in dozens of different ways.  It also includes 6 sentiments!

It doesn't show in my photos, but I brushed the sand with Clear Wink of Stella so it shimmers.

Sale-a-Bration ends at midnight on Saturday, March 31.  I hope you've taken advantage of this sale and earned some great free products!  If not, there's still a little time - hop on over to my online store and get shopping!

Online Extravaganza - My Faves!

Hi Stampers,

Today's post is a share of my favorite sale items from the Online Extravaganza - the sale is all this week, ending next Monday, November 28!

#140619 Rose Garden Framelits Dies - regular price $31.00, on sale for 30% off = $21.70

These framelits have a matching stamp set, Rose Wonder #140697 which is not included in this sale, but there are so many beautiful cards that you can make with just the framelits and other sentiments that you probably already own.  Here are some samples I collected from Pinterest:

#140621 Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies - regular price $25.00, on sale for 30% off = $17.50

These thinlits make gorgeous wedding cards, valentine's day cards, anniversary cards and more.  The coordinating stamp set is Bloomin' Love #140643, regular price $17.00 (not included in this sale). However, #140550, Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper, which is just lovely when used with these thinlits, is on sale at 30% off, also!  Here are some examples made from the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Dies:

#141841 Christmas Stockings Thinlits Dies - regular price $30.00, on sale at 30% off = $21.00

The matching stamp set for these thinlits, #142114 Hang Your Stocking, is on sale at 25% off as part of the Stitched From the Heart promotion.  The regular price for the stamp set is $21.00, but you can purchase it for $15.75 through November 30.  Purchase both items now and save even more than when purchased in a bundle- $9.00 more, to be exact!  Here are some great ideas using these thinlits & stamps (they're not just for Christmas - how adorable is that stick horse?)

#141488 Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies - regular price $27.00, on sale for 20% off = $21.60

These banner dies are awesome - and they coordinate with many stamp sets, including Banners for Christmas, Seasonal Bells, Stitched with Cheer, Birthday Banners, Banners For You, Basket for You, Time of Year, and One Wild Ride.  With a little patience, you can also bend other photopolymer stamp sentiments to fit in them!  Here are some examples of beautiful cards using Bunch of Banners Framelits:

#140622 Large Numbers Framelits - regular price $31.00, on sale at 20% off = 24.80

These are a must have for milestone birthdays and anniversaries.  Also wonderful for graduation and New Year's!  The coordinating stamp set #140653 Number of Years is nice to have, but not absolutely necessary (also not on sale this time!)  Here are some examples:

#142202 Glamper Greetings - regular price $26.00, on sale for 10% off = $23.40

If you read my blog regularly, you know I love this stamp set and you know why.  Enough said.  Here are some great examples:

Last, but not least:

#130658 Big Shot Magnetic Platform - regular price $40.00, on sale at 35% off = $26.00 - on sale for 24 hours only, Monday, November 28 - mark your calendar!

This is a great deal.  When I first got my Big Shot I didn't think I needed this, but after I broke down and bought it, I use it all the time!  My dies don't slip or slide when I'm lining them up with my stamped images and no need for tape to hold them in place!  Trust me, you'll love it!  

Things to remember:  All the products I talked about here are on sale now through midnight, November 28th EXCEPT the Big Shot Magnetic Platform, which is on sale November 28th ONLY.

The Hang Your Stocking stamp set is on sale through November 30, but why wait?  Order it with the matching thinlits and save on shipping!  Please use November Host Code 6AKSBPBZ when ordering.

I hope I've inspired you.  Have a wonderful day!

Glamper Greetings for Christmas

Hi Stampers,

As a camper, when the Glamper Greetings stamp set debuted in the Holiday Catalog, it was the first thing on my wishlist!  If you're a camper or have camping friends, this set is a must-have. There are so many cute sentiments and images that you can use to create cards, stationery, or scrapbook pages for camping enthusiasts, including:

Home is Where You Park It

Let's Get Away From it All

May the Adventures Continue

Happy Birthday

This is How We Roll

Have a Happy Holiday

Hey There, Happy Camper

Not All Who Wander are Lost - J.R.R. Tolkien

Wishing You a Happy, Haunted Halloween

Seriously, how awesome are those?  Here's the card I created for my snowbird friends:

My card base is cut from Mint Macaron.  The Designer Paper is Presents & Pinecones and the banners are cut from Cherry Cobbler.  I used mainly Emerald Envy & Cherry Cobbler to color my image to coordinate nicely with the designer paper.

Metallic enamel shapes add interest to the banners

I used Bunch of Banners Framelits to cut the banners and embossed the sentiments with White Stampin' Emboss Powder.

There are so many cute details in this set...the lights, wreath & pie are all separate elements you can choose. Clear photopolymer stamps make it easy to place them exactly where you want!  I colored the images with my inks & Blender Pens.

Stamping the envelope lets everyone know there's something very special inside!

Here are some samples from the Stampin' Up catalog that show some of the other elements you can add to your projects.  There are 32 pieces included in the set!

If you love this stamp set, here's some great news for you - Glamper Greetings is ON SALE from November 21 - 28!  The regular price is $26.00 but you can buy it for $23.40 during the ONLINE EXTRAVAGANZA, a 10% savings!  Score!!

Happy Stamping & Glamping,

Pat
