Today we're Creating with All Zipped Up Dies - a New Online Exclusive. This is a super cute set that can appeal to all generations and for guys as well as the ladies.

Here's the die set (we're using today)

Here's the stamp set that is part of that bundle

This is today's creations...

with a bi closer look...

Our base card is Thick Basic White cardstock which peeks through the unzipped part of the sweater. The sweater is cut from Boho Blue & using the zipper die.  After die cutting the sweater was run through the Dashing Designs embossing folder to give us that cute nubby texture.

The zipper tab is die cut from Silver Foil as well as the greeting (Wanted to Say). 

We built the necklace using the silver cord (Gold & Silver cord) and a tiny heart die cut also from the silver foil. We embedded a large Basic Rhinestone Jewel in the heart for that added sparkle.

Stop back next week to see which Online Exclusive we'll be designing with then.

Today we're Creating with Painted Stripes an Online Exclusive product. This is an stunning full card background stamp that appears as if it were painted with a paint brush giving the stripes a beautifully "paint-like" texture.

This type of image works well with small pieces (as with today's card) or as a total background image. You can make it startlingly bright with lots of contrast or you can make it subtle as with todays card.

Here's the stamp

& this is our card for today...

The new beautiful Lovely Garden Designer paper was layered on Garden Green cardstock base. A smaller central piece of Soft Seafoam cardstock was used for our focal point..

Stamping the Painted Stripes in Soft Seafoam ink gives us a lovely soft background. We then layered the leaf die cut in Garden Green over which we adhered the gold foil "Celebrate" die from the Wanted to Say Dies.

We added a touch of sparkle with the Opal Rounds in yellow which pulls in the bit of yellow in the designer paper background.

Today we're Creating with Arched Wishes a New Online Exclusive! Isn't it fun to get a whole new set of products every other month! And...best part is that this one coordinates with the Everyday Arch dies already online.

Here's the stamp set....

& this is the Everyday Arches a coordinating set of dies that are already available online.

Here's todays creation using both...

& a bit closer look...

We selected the Full of Life Desinger Series Paper for our background since it was very lively and filled with tons of bright and cheerful color. This was layered onto a thin border of Coastal Cabana and then onto the card base of Daffodil Delight. 

Since the greeting is arch-shaped...it was an easy step to position it on the white die cut arch just where we want it to fit...then lay the cupcake on the white arch beneath it. Now lay the clear block on top of the stamps...this way you can stamp multiples at the same time without having to position each time!

We added a few "sparkles" with the new Spoked Sequins in the center to really create a party atmosphere.

2. Cut Coastal Cabana cardstock 4 1/8 X 5 3/8; adhere to card front.

3. Die cut Basic White cardstock with largest arch (Everyday Arches):

    *Position the greeting & cupcake stamps on the arch; lay clear block on top; ink up with Memento ink and stamp
    *Color images with Blends: L/D Daffodil Delight & D Pool Party; use Wink of Stella on icing.
    *Stamp 3 "sparkles" around the cupcake---see sample for placement & add 3 large Daffodil Spoked Sequins to centers.  Add large Rhinestone to candle flame.

Today we're Creating with Toadstool Gardens Designer Series Paper. This set of cute papers is a Sale-a-bration freebie with a $60 purchase through the end of February-- so only 3 more days!!!

Here's the set of papers...

Here's our card for today

& a bit closer

This set of papers is very whimsical and lots of fun colors to play with.  For this card I selected the Bubble Bath background highlighted with Melon Mambo tones and a touch of Gray Granite.

This design is based on having something of a pictorial background.  We cut 6 squares of 1 1/2 X 1 1/2--two across and 3 down keeping them in order so the design remains intact.  The pieces are mounted on a black rectangle which really maked the design pop. Then another layer of Gray Granite mellows out the overall design.

We used the Feel Better Soon detail die with Melon Mambo and Bubble Bath for the underlay--this makes the Melon pop out but doesn't detract from the pictorial design.

Of course, a bit of bling rounds it all out with 3 small Melon dots from the Sunny Day collection.

Today we are Creating with Sale-a-bration Freebie Bloom IMpressions Designer Series Paper. This is one of my favorite free items during Sale-a-bration when spending $60 in product. 

Here is a sampling of this beautiful set...

You can see all the wonderful spring colors in the "blooms" side and those stunning coordinating colors in the "watercolor wash" side....what a delight in creating cards with these papers.

Here's today's creation using this paper:

This card fairly glows with the gorgeous Daffodil Delight blooms in the background.  We've nestled the Countryside Corners die cut of the designer paper on the Daffodil Delight top layer embossed with the Starstruck embossing folder. This is also one of the freebies you can obtain with a $60 order during SAB.  

As our focal point we're using a tree stamp (trunk/leaves) die cut using the Twisted Tree bundle in the Spring mini catalog.  

We've stamped the trunk in Early Espresso & the leaves in Garden Green--then die cut for that perfect image.

The greeting is from one of our very useful sets, Simply Said Mix & Match stamp set.

We only have a couple of weeks to nab these wonderful SAB free items! Grab yours while they are still available.

Note: Due to some unforeseen issues I'll be posting on Wednesdays only for awhile. When all gets back to normal I'm hoping to go back to Tuesdays & Thursdays. Thanks for sticking with me for a bit.
