Hello Friends,
I just wanted to pop in and let you all know why I haven’t been able to blog the last couple days…and maybe not for a few more.
I had to take an urgent trip to Asheville, NC to be by my dad’s side while he’s in the hospital. I’m not sure how things are going to turn out and he and I could sure use any prayers you can send our way.
Here’s a picture of me with my sweet daddy!
Hope to be back with you all soon!
Hugs & Smiles,
Angela
Today I’ve got a bright and cheerful card for you, friend, to drive those winter blues away. At least it’s been cold and snowy where I’m at! I could use a little sunshine and happiness right about now. This card should do the trick!
This card features some fabulous product from the Occasions Catalog! It starts off with the Fruit Basket Bundle. That stamp set is where our “Hello Friend” sentiment and those cute pineapples came from. The pineapples were stamped as well as punched out with the Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack and the stem layered on top of the stamped image with a mini dimensional. A fun way to make your card pop!
We get more fun with the Tutti-frutti Adhesive-Baked Sequins scattered on the card. There’s nothing better than having your sequins already have adhesive on them! Am I right?!
Want to use some of these products on your next card? Here’s a great $50 bundle idea to get these products in your hand as well as qualify for a Sale-A-Bration FREEBIE!
Next, I took a piece of vellum and ran it through the Big Shot with the Scattered Sequins embossing folder and layered it on top of Daffodil Delight card stock. Under half of the vellum I put a piece of the Bubbles & Fizz DSP (a Sale-A-Bration level 1 freebie) because you can never have too much of that Lemon Lime Twist color!
To finish off the card, I put down some Lemon Lime Twist 3/8″ mini striped ribbon and on top of that, used my Big Shot and a die from the Sweet Cake Framelits Dies which I stamped my sentiment and pineapples on. Tie it off with some Whisper White Baker’s Twine and you’re on your way to sending a card that’s sure to brighten your friend’s day!
Don’t forget, if you want to get your hands on some FREE Tutti-Frutti Adhesive-backed Sequins, simply use my January Hostess Code with your order! You will get these adorable sequins for free with a $75 order!
Also, don’t miss out on the NEW Reward Levels this year with Sale-A-Bration. Check out my post talking about it HERE!
And finally, don’t forget to leave a comment to be entered into a Daily Drawing! Winners for each day will be posted in Sunday’s post!

If you’re still needing to get some Halloween cards made for the little monsters in your life, have no fear! I’ve got a quick and cute card for you today!
This “spooky” cat doesn’t seem so spooky with all those cute polka dots, huh? Not only do we have polka-dots from our Spooky Night Designer Series Paper, but we’re using the Polka Dot Embossing Folder as well.
This card comes together so quick with all our handy punches. See the list below of all supplies used.
To get that black speckled look, just flick black ink from your Basic Black Stampin’ Write marker onto your paper using the large end of the marker and the cap.
Use the Banner Triple Punch to punch the end of the DSP strip.
Don’t forget about those Mini Glue Dots! They’re perfect to adhere the Linen Thread triple bow!
Smiles & Hugs,
Angela

If you’re looking to “step” up your card making, then look no further. I’ve got a card for you today that’s easy, but is sure to impress!
Are you ready to learn how to make it? Here we go!
Start by placing Garden Green card base on paper trimmer with 4-1/4” edge along the top at the 1” mark. Place cutting blade at 1” and cut down to 6-1/2”. Flip cardstock and repeat on the other side.
To score, place card base on score board with 11” edge along the top. Score all the way across at 1” (will intersect with the 1” cut line). At 2”, score only to the cut edge on each side (do not score center section). At 5-1/2”, only score center section. At 6-1/2”, score all the way across. Fold all score lines the same direction except the 2” score lines on either side of the center section.
Don’t forget to apply Wink of Stella to the tree for added shimmer! Everyone needs a little shimmer in their life, right?! 🙂
If you haven’t had a chance to get your hands on the Be Merry DSP yet or just want to stock up for next year, then you’re in luck! It’s part of our Buy 3 Get 1 Free DSP sale! Act fast, as the sale ends 10/31! Click on the graphic to see a list of all the DSP included in the sale!
