Weekly Deals For Wednesday 21 January 2015


The Weekly Deals are up!
Love that there is such a variety of goodies on offer this week!
I will be re-stocking up on the Bakers Twine in Basic Black and Tangerine Tango.
The Deco Labels Framelits Dies are an awesome tool to have in your craft kit - love them!
The Stampin' Blendabilities in Skin Tone are very versatile, as they can be used for colouring hair, think of the soft brown of Mocha, with highlights with Blush added, along with colouring birds etc.
Love the Beach House Washi Tape - so cute!

This week we made two cards, the first card is a Chalkboard Easel Card, and features the Sale-A-Bration rewards of “Best Year Ever” Designer Series Paper, and stamp sets “Big Day” and “Simply Wonderful”.





The second card I took inspiration from a Pin on Pinterest by Christyann Rothmel, but added my own twist!
My version featured the stamp sets “Groovy Love” and “Yippee-Skippee” + the “Ampersand” Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.

You are now at Blog Hop #14, and may have just come from visiting with Sharon deVos, to check out Narelle Hoggard’s project, back at #1 click here.

For my project, I have deceived on a Chalkboard Easel Card, and features the Sale-A-Bration rewards of “Best Year Ever” Designer Series Paper, and stamp sets “Big Day” and “Simply Wonderful”.


Crumb Cake cardstock, measuring 4”x 11” is scored at 5 ½”, and folded in half. Both sides {one side at a time though!} are stamped with the Hardwood stamp and Versamark, and embossed with the Heat Tool and Clear Stampin’ Emboss Powder.
The “Squares Collection” Framelits are used to cut the lower part of the card, to form the Easel.
The 3”x3” chalkboard is made with the new “Chalkboard Paper” {#137786 $16.95 for 10 sheets}, and embossed with the Heat Tool and White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, and then coloured with the Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, and Melon Mambo Blendabilities {selected Blendabilities are also available in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue}.
The Chalkboard it then adhered to the Crumb Cake cardstock with Tape {or your choice of adhesive}.
The Banner/Swag is created using the Banner Punch {#133519 $22.95} and the “Best Year Ever” Designer Series Paper, and is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals, Early Espresso Bakers Twine is knotted and adhered with Glue Dots, to hang the Swag from.
On the reverse, a cute little bow is made with the new “Bow Builder” Punch {#137414 $35.95} and more of the “Best Year Ever” Designer Series Paper.
Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim is added for a bit of bling!


For the card insert, Naturals White cardstock {3”x3”}, is framed with Soft Suede cardstock 3 ¼ “x 3 ¼ “, and the “Simply Wonderful” stamp set is coloured with the Early Espresso, Melon Mambo and Old Olive Stampin’ Write Markers.


A frame for the sentiment is in Soft Suede cardstock, and cut with the Circles Collection and Deco Labels Collection Framelits and adhered with Tape.
The finishing touch is the Linen Thread which has been knotted and attached the easel, which gives it a realistic effect and functions so as to keep the easel upright.
Wah-lah … Chalkboard Easel Card done!

Happy craftin',
Kathe.
