Clean and Simple Saturday - Sale-A-Bration Sneak Peak

Happy Saturday Peeps!

Today's clean and simple card uses yet MORE patterns from the Sale-A-Bration Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper! 

Sale-A-Bration is coming January 28th! If you would like to receive a free Sale-A-Bration catalog, please contact me here with your mailing information and I will get one out to you as soon as they are available!

EZ Peasy Design Tips:

• The envelope is lined with more of this yummy paper...remember the Envelope Liner Framelits Dies are on sale through Tuesday, January 14th only! You will love them!

• I used the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die to quickly create a perfect focal point with the pretty patterns as the star.
• The rolling font on this sentiment adds just the right amount of decoration to the card.

• Stamping on the inside of the card adds a sweet touch. These delightful blooms are part of the Petal Parade stamp set (This stamp set is exclusive to Sale-A-Bration and available for a limited time).

Here'a a close up of this sweet, sweet designer series paper. A tiny button adds the perfect finishing touch. Now to get this card in the mail! I made this quick card for a friend who is recovering from surgery, just to let her know I am thinking of her!

Language of Love - PPA 187 Color Challenge

These new Circle Card Thinlits Dies sure make it easy to whip up a fabulous card! And it's time to start thinking about how to celebrate those we love with colors inspired by the Pals Paper Arts Design Team. They keep the creativity flowing! This week they have a color challenge for us:

This wonderful color combination made creating this Valentine's Day card so fun!

EZ Peasy Design Tips:

• Pre-cutting and attaching a 3" x 5 1/2" piece of designer series paper to your base layer prior to cutting it with the thinlit die makes the circle cut out inside a breeze
• The 2 1/2" Circle Punch fits perfectly inside the circle on the base card
• The scallop circle shape on the inside of the card is included in the Circle Card Thinlit Dies set and makes a perfect spot to leave a personal note
• The large heart image here is from the Language of Love Stamp Set and is designed to be used with the Full Heart Punch - ez peasy
• The small heart, cut here with Red Glimmer Paper, is also included in the Circle Card Thinlit Dies set
• The zig-zag was easily created using the Bigz XL Tasteful Trim Die
• The little banner is stamped with an image from the Love You to the Moon Stamp Set and provides not only a wonderful sentiment but also balances the card out
• Isn't the lined envelope a wonderful touch? It add such a heft to the envelope that you just know there is something special inside! The Envelope Liners Framelits Dies are on sale this week!
