Birthday Whimsy

Yesterday I sorted out 48 cards for a demonstrator card swap. Each participant sent in a certain number of identical cards (depending on the number of spots they sign up for) and gets different cards back! It’s such a great way to get different ideas. This swap was featuring cards made with the Sale-A-Bration stamp sets.

It was so fun to see what people came up with. The next few days I’m going to feature some of these cards.

Here are 3 cards using the BIRTHDAY WHIMSY stamp set. This set has 5 different stamps great for any birthday card or scrapbook pages!

Wedding Invitation Ideas

I had a great time on Sunday attending a Wedding Invite Class held by 2 of my downline- Trina and Sherida. They created this FANTASTIC class for demonstrators so that we could have samples to show our customers.

It is so fun to go to a class without having to prepare anything! Here are a few of the projects we made.

If you’re a bride wanting to select supplies for your invites- make sure you plan ahead and contact me today to schedule your Wedding Consultation!

So Many Scallops

This Sale-A-Bration (SAB) stamp set is so so so fun!!! You get 4 different stamps that are the perfect size to be punched out by the scallop circle punch. No more cutting out flowers with this stamp set!!!

With this card, I also used one of the greeting from the Stem Sayings set. In case you can’t read it, it say’s "What can I say? You made my day." Such a sweet card, don’t you think?
