As promised, here are the cards we'll be making this month using all new papers and stamps from the Jan-June and SAB (Sale-A-Bration) Mini catalogs. Hope you like them!
The upper left card shows off just one of many wonderful scenery designs from the
New Horizons DSP and the
On the Horizon stamps and dies bundle. Each of the 12 double-sided designs is such a beautiful watercolor blend of hues, you'll find it easy to make up many stunning cards! And you'll only need a little stamping or die-cutting to do that, with many different possibilities coming to mind. Your creations will all look very "artsy", like you did all the painting yourself, and everyone will be amazed including you!
On the upper right is a Tower Pinwheel Card, which should rightfully be part of a Fancy Folds Class but I really wanted to do 4 cards this month, so will just give you the simple how-to's in class. This fancy-looking, very dimensional card has 4 sides to decorate or write on, yet still fits in a regular card envelope. The card may look complicated, but only requires some simple scoring and gluing of layers to come together. I've used the Sunshine and Rainbows DSP which is FREE with SAB and coordinates perfectly with new Rainbow of Happiness Bundle in the Mini.
The lower left card show off two really nice Designer Papers,
Simply Marbleous which is FREE with SAB and Ever Eden which was part of last year's promotion. The flower on the front is stamped with
Flowing Flowers, a beautiful stamp that I cut up. Yes, you can do that! The image would normally need to be colored with markers to make green leaves and a colored flower, but I decided to simplify things. Cutting the leaves from the flowers allows me to use ink pads (so much faster & easier) and the
Stamparatus tool for exact alignment. Duplicates of this two-colored image can now be made super quick, you'll love it!
The last card is with Chinese New Year in mind, which is coming up Feb. 1. While it is the Year of the Tiger (and there is a tiger in the Wild Cats stamp set), I've decide to go with the lovely new Crane of Fortune Bundle and Symbols of Fortune DSP instead. A tri-fold screen card seemed like a good way to use three of the pretty paper designs, and the large flower is cut out with a matching die, so easy! I'll show you how to cut the "legs" and top cut-outs with unrelated tools that align perfectly through all three layers.
