Is it a Bloomin’ Mix Up?

It is a bloomin’ mix up; of sorts! It was an intentional mix up of mixing the new with some old, however! I don’t do that very much. I really don’t like showing you something that you are really going to like, feel like you must absolutely have, and then find out that you can’t get it. It just seems so mean! However, the Bloomin’ Hearts dies are so pretty and the “love” from the Expression thinlits that we had was so perfect as a non-stamped image underneath the heart for a Valentine’s Day card that I just had to! I.Really.Am.Sorry! If you didn’t get the Expression dies while they were available, you will have to find something else to use in place of the “love.” With the pretty Bloomin’ Heart as the focal point of your card, there is no way it will not be a gorgeous card! The Bloomin’ Heart dies are currently on backorder so if you really want them, I suggest you order them as anything in the Occasions Catalog is not guaranteed to be available after May 31st. I know, May seems like a long way out, but it will be here before you know it! Besides, if you purchase them during Sale-A-Bration you are halfway to a $50 order and a FREE Sale-A-Bration item!

For your convenience I’ve placed pictures and links to my 24/7 online store of most of the items used to make this simple but beautiful card! Don’t forget to check out the Weekly Deals and Clearance Rack while you are there! Thanks so much for stopping by!

The Journey Begins…

Another Sky is the Limit swap card that I have fallen in love with! And it came at an appropriate time! I have a new journey beginning here in Le Mars, Iowa today! I am participating in a huge EXPO here in town this weekend to get myself known in the community! This neat card was created by fellow demonstrator, Olive Barnes. Not only is it a great looking card but it reminded me of this technique we did way back in the day with all the sports cards that I did when I had teenage boys at home. It’s a great technique for showing movement and it is easy to do. Just a little lift and move and repeated stamping of the image without reinking the stamp; that’s all there is to it! Next week when the expo is over I am hoping to get my Adobe Photoshop set up on my computer as part of the restoring process. Trying to crop and watermark on my phone is doable but challenging on such a small screen! There are only 10 more days left to get your $50 Sale-A-Bration order in to get this fantastic Sky is the Limit set for FREE! Click the Shop Now tab above to go to my 24/7 online store and get it done today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Is The Sky Really The Limit?

This may be my favorite swap with this stamp set! I think it is the richness of the Blackberry Bliss with the neutral colors that gives it a nice masculine feel that appeals to me. This set is only available for FREE with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration until February 15th. Posting is still a challenge as I am still trying to restore my computer to some semblance of pre-crash!

Don’t delay! Click the Shop Now tab above or one of the products show below to be taken to my 24/7 online store to get your order placed to secure this stamp set its place in your collection! Thank so much for stopping by!
