Party On -- Continuing the Sale-a-bration Stampers Dozen Hop

Hello Stamping Friends,

It's time for another great blog hop with the Stampers Dozen group. This time we are Partying on and continuing with our Sale-a-bration. We have just two weeks left in this years Sale-a-bration. Get those orders in soon. You don't want your favorite item to sell out before you get it. 

I absolutely love Fruit Salad designer series paper pack from the Sale-a-bration offerings. Of course, any one that knows me, knows that I am always crazy for the fruit stamp sets, punches, dies, or papers. I just need to have all of them. I have no idea what it is about them that makes me want them, but it's a pretty strong "NEED" when I set my eyes on them. (LOL)

For this card, I let the paper do all the work for me. With great paper like this, the real question is: Why wouldn't I let the paper do it's magic?  The orange and lemon are cut from the paper and added to the card with dimensionals. It is the perfect finishing touch. 

I used the Lifelong friends stamp set for the greeting. I felt a saying that says "picked" for a fruit card is the perfect match.

All Things New

Hello Stamping Friends,

Remember me?  I know, I know, it's been too long since I have last visited it with you. But it's a new year and I'm going to make it a goal to blog more often. I miss sharing with you. I hope you will keep coming back for more inspiration. Don't forget I always welcome your comments on each post. 

It's time for a Stampers Dozen blog hop tonight. The theme is All About the New. We have a new mini catalog with great new stamps, papers, and accessories. Plus, we have the Sale-a-bration catalog. You know the drill something FREE with each qualifying order. Place those orders early before your favorite Sale-a-bration item is out of stock. 

For the sake of easing back into blogging, I choose to make a quick and super easy card. I actually didn't pick up a stamp to make this birthday card. The ephemera packs are like my new best friend. They are always there for me when I need them. (LOL)  This card uses the Birthday Treats Mix & Match Ephemera Pack. 

I also used the Timeless Plaid 6x6 designer series paper for the background design and color. I love a good patterned paper (polka dots, stripes, plaids, I'm not picky).  There is a strip of gold open weave ribbon on the left of the card to add some texture. I also used some antique pearls to finish the card. And no, not antique because I had a birthday this week either. HAHA

Although I didn't stamp anything I love how this card came together and I know I would love to receive it so why wouldn't anyone else?

Don't forget to keep hopping by clicking the links below. Also leave each blogger some love by commenting on their creations. 

Happy stamping. See you soon (that's a promise)!
