Party Pandas vs lavender for sleep vs pineapples = hospitality

 When I try to write a catchy headline for posts, I try to be fair to all the cards, I want everyone to take a peek, so today I have the weirdest headline ever, but all 3 cards get a mention!

The Party Pandas set in the Sale-a-Bration brochure are sure to be the #1 most popular set of the month. They are darling, easy to stamp, easy to fussy cut and there are about a zillion samples to copy online! So be sure to shop the new Occasions catalog so you can earn the Pandas free!

Also looking very good is the Lots of Lavender set, also in the Sale-a-Bration brochure. We used one stamp to create our background, another for the focal point and left it with  no sentiment so you can make it a sympathy, birthday or get well card. And if you have been partying with the pandas, you may need a get well card, right?

These 3 beauties were the cards we made in January Stamp Club, all showing a fun technique or demonstrating something new.

The pineapple card features a new bundle, Fruit Basket bundle, with a darling stamp set and 4 little punches. Here we stamped the pineapple on the sentiment panel AND on scrap paper, then punched them out and layered them over the panel pineapples. The new punches cut INSIDE the stamped image, so there is no white border on your fruit. Then, when you layer them, you get a nice dimensional look, because the panel pineapples peek out from around the punched pineapples. Very cool.

The panda card is all heat embossed in copper. I know pandas aren't copper IRL, but on the card they are darling.

The lavender card let us practice our ribbon tying, which nearly everyone struggles with. Just about every card had a different ribbon treatment, which is fun to see all our options! Do you see the new Tinsel Trim in Powder Pink? It adds a hint of glimmer and texture to our card, just the perfect amount!

Anytime you would like to get in on the fun, just let me know. We are here the first Wednesday of every month and new members are always welcome and encouraged to try-it -- no commitment required!



Happy Stampin'
