Welcome back! This month, we wanted to show you some of the great products that are available outside of our traditional catalog. Sometimes these fun offerings are overlooked, but they are too awesome to miss out on!
My projects use a few products from our Sale-a-Bration catalog that you can earn for FREE for every $50 you spend this month. Yep, for every $50 you spend, you get to chose a FREE item from the SAB mini catalog! (check out the sidebar for more info!)
I started with a simple outline, inspired by Pinterest.

| The banner "string" between pennants was simply drawn in with the Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write marker - easy! |
This simple, cute card uses the Banner Blast set and coordinating punch from the SAB catalog, as well as one of our new totally clear photopolymer stamps. The photopolymer stamps take some getting used to, but they do give a super-sharp image, as you can see above with the "Thank You." A little Cherry Cobbler baker's twine and a "string" (drawn with the Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker) finish off the card. Love!
Then I moved on to a more-involved card. This one uses the same stamps and punches as the first, but I also used our super-fun Envelope Punch Board! You can use the punch board to make a custom envelope in pretty much any size, and it's so easy!
As you can see, I also added some DSP to this card, as well as using the polka-dot Textured Embossing Folder from the SAB catalog. I LOVE that the embossing folder coordinates so well with the pattern on one of the pennant stamps! (The orange one on the right end). I went through about 5 different color/paper/texture combinations before finally settling on this one, so now I have a bunch of itty-bitty envelopes laying around -- oh darn! ;) The layout for this card, and the instructions for the custom-sized envelope, were found over on Julie Kettlewell's blog.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Be sure to check out the rest of the ladies in the Hop, and don't miss out on all these great products!!
Oh, shoot, extra little envelopes? What is one to do? hehehe! Really cute cards!
ReplyDeleteI love the sweet banner on the first card, and the envelope with the banner piece is a really fun idea! Such pretty creations- thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun little envelope on the card. I love the rhinestones connecting the banner!
ReplyDeleteVery Cute! I love that CAS look in that first card - and fun idea with the envelope
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of the envelope on the front of the card. The banner punch is so versatile and so much fun to use. Great job.
