It's that time of year! Have you taken advantage of Sale-a-Bration? With every $50 order, you can choose a FREE gift...choose from a dozen options! Below are samples of my top three favorites:
Such a sweet bag...no? Sweet Sugarplum is a top selling color these days at Stampin' Up! I LOVE it! And I thought it would pair oh so well with the valentine heart from the Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set My Hero. Stampin' Up! donates $3 to RMHC with every purchase of this set.
You'll notice quite a few accessories on this treat bag, including the Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon and the Glitter Ribbon from the combo pack in the new Holiday Catalog. There are quite a few more than I usually use on one project, but Valentines are the perfect projects in which you can go overboard with accessories!
Don't forget...September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Help me raise money for this cause! Purchase the Ronald McDonald House Charities My Hero stamp set or any gold accessories this week and I will donate 20% of those sales to a local organization, GiveBonnieStrong77, which helps families dealing with childhood cancer. Use Hostess Code: HRRD2J2W when you checkout. Don't delay, order by Friday, September 30!
Have to say... that my Affectionately Yoursclass was a success! I hope those ladies who attended will agree with me;) This is another of our cards we created. It started with a "card map" which used punched hexagons of patterned paper...I swapped in images from the Love & Affection stamp set. And it was easy to pick the colors to use...the ones featured in the Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper (a.k.a. DSP). See below for the colors we used.
On the card base front I trimmed off a 1/2" from the bottom. On the inside of the card, I adhered a 3/4" strip of the DSP at the bottom. The Whisper White layer measures 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" so that's how you get the little strip of Cucumber Crush at the top of the card.
