Leadership Banner Blast Thank You Card

So on this card I wanted to show the not so used Sahara Sand which is one of the colors in the Sale-A-Bration Sweet Sorbet DSP. I used the flag punch with the Banner Blast Stamp Set and Silver Glimmer Paper. I also punched Crisp Cantaloupe with the Pennant Punch for a background banner layer. Looking at this now...wish I had just used the flag punch on that color instead. I love the dotted pattern of the DSP too! SO FUN! This is an easy layout for a card and you could use all types of color combos to make a great card.

I hope that you like my card and can use it to inspire you! Check back soon for more Leadership display samples! Just a few more to share now!

Leadership Hearts Banner Blast Card

Today's card was alot of fun to create! I used the Hearts Collection Framelits to cut the large heart negative. I backed it with a piece of Sweet Sorbet DSP. I used the heart stamp with Crisp Cantaloupe ink and did several hearts stamped in multi tones. I used another piece of the DSP and cut the Amperstand from the Typeset Alphabet die. I used the Banner Blast Stamp Set for the flags. I stamped the "you" and "forever" with the Fabulous Phrases Stamp Set. I stitched my flags in place.

Do not forget! Sale-A-Bration ends March 31st! So if you want these stamps, DSP or embellishment to create these cards for yourself, get them now!

Leadership Banner Blast Chalk Name Easel

I found these little wood easels at a local craft store and was planning to use them for an event. So when I started working on the Leadership samples, they were nearby and I thought I could alter it to be WAY cuter! I cut a piece of Basic Black cardstock to fit the frame. I used regular chalk to make it look more like chalkboard. Then it was just stamping the Banner Blast flag several times in Coastal Cabana, Summer Starfruit and Crisp Cantaloupe. The stitching was a little more tasking. I had to add the flags in a line on the end of the piece of scrap cardstock with adhesive. Then run the ends of them in my sewing machine. I added the name using the Chalk Marker but you could always add a stamped saying to it as well.

I hope that you like my place setting chalk easel and can use it to inspire you! Check back soon for more Leadership display samples! Much more to share!

Leadership Hello Banner Blast Card

This little cutie was one of my favorites that I created for the Leadership Display Sample Boards. I have even found it cased by my fellow demonstrators on here: http://www.jillsink.typepad.com/jills-ink/2014/02/banner-blast-birthday-card.html

 by Jill Franchett and here: http://www.stampyourartout.com/stampyourartout/2014/02/200-card.html by Rachel Tessman. I love how she called it the $200 card due to several free Sale-a-Bration items you would need to earn for free to make this card. Thank you both!  I find it a complete honor to be cased and I greatly appreciate that you like my card enough to case it for your customers. I hope they like it too! Given that I am just showing my card now and no one knowing who's card was what on the boards, giving only the Artisan Design Teams list of names, then I understand why proper credit is not always given in these situations. Hope they will now. ;)

The card was super easy to make given that the Banner Blast stamp set matches the flag punch in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. I used Summer Starfuit, Crisp Cantaloupe and Coastal Cabana inks. The twine is from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Kit. I used the Decorative Dot Embossing Folder. Lot of dimensionals where involved as well! I made it in mind for our demos out there as they saw the boards at Leadership to give them ideas for card buffets and such. I think it worked! 

I hope that you like my sweet caseable card and can use it to inspire you! Check back soon for more Leadership display samples! Much more to share!

Leadership Petal Parade AWESOME Card

This card was instant inspiration when I saw that arrow image in the Petal Parade stamp set. The first thing I did was to draw diagonal light pencil lines onto the Whisper White cardstock. Then I stamped the arrows in four ink colors: Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistacho Pudding and Summer Starfruit. Then I ran the card piece thru my sewing machine using black thread and zip zag stitch on 2. I just followed the lines and erased them when done. To finish, I added the cork diamonds from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Kit.

I think it was one of my top 5 favorite cards that I made for the Leadership Display.

I hope that you like my arrow card and can use it to inspire you! Check back soon for more Leadership display samples! Much more to share!

Leadership Petal Parade LOVE Card

This card was created from those letters laying on my studio table. I was going to use them on this scrapbook page HERE but it was just not working out. When it came time to create other card for the Petal Parade stamp set, I pulled them front and center. 

My favorite things on this card:

The colors of Crisp Cantaloupe, Coastal Cabana and Sahara Sand.

The stitching across the letters and small heart punch.

The Flag Punch doubled up. So glad the punch will be in our next catalog!

I hope that you like my card and can use it to inspire you with the scraps on your table! Check back soon for more Leadership display samples! Much more to share!

Leadership Petal Parade Treat

My favorite sweet treat to buy at Cracker Barrel are these lemon candy sticks! So I wanted to share my favorites with friends in a special package and this is what I came up with.  
I took the Tag a Bag Gift Bags and cut it in half. Then I stitched black thread in my sewing machine to make a smaller pouch. You could just use sticky strip as well.
I used the Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper to make some flag banners. Stamped the Petal Parade images on Whisper White. Added an In-Color Boutique Details button and each of the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Kit Twine in a bow. 
My favorite thing:
The arrow! I stamped the images and then free hand cut it out. I used the Flag Punch to add the Coastal Cabana tail to it.

LOTS OF FREE SALEBRATION ITEMS USED ON THIS! Do not miss out on them!

I hope that you like my lemony treat and can use it to inspire you! Check back soon for more Leadership display samples! Much more to share!

Leadership See Ya Later Gift Box

This was so fun to make! I love the idea of shaker anything even on a box!
I first cut a piece of Window sheet with the Circle Collection Framelits just a little larger than the circle window of the Decorative Window Gift Box.  I placed the 1/2" circle punch pieces of Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock and Gold Foil Sheet in between them. I then took the another circle framelit and cut the Paper Doily. I placed it right on top which then hid the seam of the window sheet. I used Staz-on Black Ink to stamp my image from the See Ya Later Stamp set right onto the Watercolor Wonder Designer Washi Tape. I used the Crisp Cantaloupe Twine from the Sale-A-Bration Sweet Sorbet Accessory Kit. Added a little washi tape flag onto a toothpick and glue dot into place.

I hope that you like my gift box and can use it to inspire you! Check back soon for more Leadership display samples! Much more to share!

Leadership See Ya Later Scrapbook Page Love

Today's leadership sample is one of the fun scrapbook pages that I created. Very simple to make this one! Just cut several sheets of different designer series paper into 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 and punch with the Full Heart Punch. I used almost each pattern of the Sale-A-Bration DSP called Sweet Sorbet! Add some gold foil small hearts scattered around the page. I sewed some of the hearts with black thread and put others on with dimensionals. I inked up the See Ya Later stamp image with Basic Black and Crisp Cantaloupe markers. 

That photo makes me laugh! How young we were! That is the very weekend that my husband and I fell in love. (yes, I tried being a blonde once) Very fitting for this day of love!

Happy Valentine's Day! May you find love in all that you do!

Leadership See Ya Later Card 1

Moving on to another great stamp set called See Ya Later from the Sale-A-Bration Special! I so wanted to make a scrapbook page with this image from the stamp set. One of my daughter's Allison nickname is "Alligator" but the creative mojo was just not flowing to get it done BUT no worries, it WILL happen! It is a perfect stamp for her!

Some of my favorite things on this card:
The gators going up the slant edge of the paper. Under the paper is the other part of the stamp set but you can not see it.
The cork strip is from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Kit. I just cut a strip of it off.
The texture of the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder under the chevron border punch.
The Sweet Sorbet Accessory Kit Crisp Cantaloupe Twine ties with the knots at the ends.

I think this was my favorite sample that I turned in. I really wish I could have kept it!

Some of the favorite things:

The layer on top of layer look even with the chevron paper gift bag

The vellum to tone down the splatter

The stitching (took me twice to get it perfect)

Unraveling the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Kit Twine

That picture of my daughter was perfect for the page! (Luv her smile!)

Leadership You're Lovely 3D Muslin Bag

I am back today with a Leadership Display Sample. This time it is a 3D project using the Salebration stamp set called You're Lovely.  I thought it would be a great idea to use our muslin bags as a fragrant pouch. Remember those? You would place them in your clothing drawers to freshin your things. OR you could use this just as a great gift bag for Mother's Day too!

I used Staz-On Black ink pad to stamp the images on Whisper White Cardstock and the mini muslin bag itself. I added a banner of the FABULOUS Salebration DSP called Sweet Sorbet. I removed the regular twine tie and replaced it with the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack Pool Party Twine. Just used a large safety pin to thread it through. To finish, I stuffed a Paper Doily into the top of the bag and used a few glue dots to hold it in place.

I hope that you like my project and can use it to inspire you! Check back soon for more Leadership display samples! Much more to share!
