Simply Send a Happy Hello

HELLO, Happy Stampers! Today I’m featuring a super-simple card I made using the Happy Hello Simply Sent kit – available ONLY for Sale-A-Bration (Jan 22nd-March 22nd). This kit is one of your FREE items you can choose when you place a qualifying order, or host a qualifying workshop!

Happy hello card
I copied the card exactly how it appears on the front of the Happy Hello package! All the supplies are included, so it took me only about 5 minutes to put the card together. I think most of that time was attempting to tie the baker’s twine into a bow that looked halfway decent! Also, I lvoe the color combination used in the kit – I’m not sure I would have used Baja Breeze, Basic Gray & Daffodil Delight together!

The Happy Hello Simply Sent kit contains:

  • 8 card bases (4 of them have the “Hello” printed on them, 4 do not)
  • 8 adorable matching envelopes
  • 8 pieces of baker’s twine
  • 8 rhinestones
  • 8 sets of die-cut stickers (gray strips & 3 flower pieces)

Making the card the way it is shown on the package is only ONE of MANY ways you could put this card together. Use your imagination, and throw in any other coordinating supplies you might have, to really personalize the cards you create!

Happy (Simple) Card-Making!

Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper

This new Everyday Enchantment designer series paper in the upcoming Sale-A-Bration catalog is BEAUTIFUL!  It's my favorite DSP in a long time!  I had the opportunity to get my hands on some of it early, so I'll be showing some samples to you.  Here is my first:

Bird-CASE-Elaina
I copied the idea for this card from a similar one that my sister made over Christmas break while we crafted together.  I made a few changes to it to make it my own!

The card has a little bit of stamping, only on the banner in the middle – a VersaMark flower from the new stamp set in the Occasions Mini Catalog called Mixed Bunch (125535 W, 125537 C).  I also used one of my all-time favorite stamp sets, Sincere Salutations (115068) in the Idea Book & Catalog.

One thing that sets this card apart just a little is the bit of shimmer on the flower punched piece.  The flower is the new punch in the Occasions Mini called Blossom (125603).  Before adding the bird on top and adhering it to my card, I curled up the edges of the flower and spritzed it with my Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz (118772).

Sale-A-Bration is the ONLY time you will be able to get your hands on the Everyday Enchantment DSP, so visit my SAB info page to see how to get it.  Sale-A-Bration begins on January 24, 2012!  Contact me to pick a workshop date, to earn the exclusive Sale-A-Bration Hostess tote bag!

If you need a copy of the SAB catalog, let me know.  Or view it online by clicking on my "Catalog" page on my website!

Happy Crafting!
