We are about to say Goodbye to the Happy Birthday Thinlit

It is with great sadness that I say good-bye to this particular thinlit! 
I have used it countless times to make simple but elegant cards.

Make sure that you get this into your stash before June 3rd if you do not already own it.

One of the ways I love to use it is to place it over the beautiful, but busy paper.

It can be a challenge to figure out how to use some of the prints that you really do not want to cover up.

This post is from April 2018 so this paper is retired.

But look into your designer papers.  You have a collection, right!!! Pull out the busy prints and put the Happy Birthday on top!

Here is another card using the same idea.  This card uses Petal Promenade paper, which is still current.

On this one, I cut two Happy Birthdays.  A white one is underneath to make the pink one pop!

And here is a simple masculine card using the same idea with the Wood Textures Designer Paper.

This last card uses the Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder in the background.

The April host Code is JKAJ9NG9.

Please add this Host Code to the box that says "HOST CODE" to any order with a subtotal of less than $150.

When your order subtotal gets to $150, then you get to use the hostess benefits yourself.

Focus on Masculine Cards with one of my Hostess Clubs!

On Wednesday, twelve of us got together again and we focused on masculine cards.

Here are the amazing group of ladies who got together!

Left to right:

Pat, Kris, Arlene, Pam, Janet, Richele, Tracey, Roxie (left before we took the picture), Terri (yikes!  We can't see her!), Gloria, Shirley, and Gloria!!!

Here is the card that we made for our hands on project.

The Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder (also in the new 2019-2020 catalog) adds so much texture to the card!

The rest of the card is simple layers.

• Early Espresso layer:  2 1/4"x 5"
• Black layer:  2"x 4 3/4"
• Wood Textures Designer Paper:  1 3/4"x 4 1/2"
• Crumb Cake:  4" x 5 1/4"

• I have listed below the products that you will need to complete this project.

The April host Code is JKAJ9NG9.

Please add this Host Code to the box that says "HOST CODE" to any order with a subtotal of less than $150.

When your order subtotal gets to $150, then you get to use the hostess benefits yourself.

Geared Up Garage

Here is an idea from Brian King.

The surprise with this card is that the car is not stamped! 

You use the Garage Gears Thinlits to cut the car out of the Classic Garage 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper!

• Here are the layers:
• Crumb Cake:  8 1/2"x 5 1/2"
• Black: 3 7/8"x 5 1/8"
• Crushed Curry:  3 5/8"x 4 7/8"
• Black:  3"x 3 3/4"
• Designer Paper:  2 7/8"x 3 5/8"

• I have listed below the products that you will need to complete this project.

Painted Seasons - Two Cards in One

Yesterday I posted some masculine cards using this idea for getting two cards out of one piece of designer paper.

Today I'll use the retired Sale-a-Bration Painted Seasons designer Paper to created two cards.

The first card has a little twist to it.

I accidentally used a Stitched Rectangle Framelit that was too large so my border around the card was skinnier than I wanted.

So, I put two framelits together to created the Early Espresso Framelit (I used the third to the largest and the fifth to the largest Stitched Framelits together to get the Early Espresso Frame.

I cut out two Espresso and one Poppy Parade greeting with the Well Written Framelits.  Three are stacked up on top of each other to give the card some depth and interest.

Use the Daisy Punch for the flower and the Bitty Blooms Punch Pack punches for the center of the flower.

After I looked at the cards with the Poppy Parade top layer for a day, I decided that I might prefer the Petal Pink for the top layer.  Sure enough.  I love it!

With the designer paper that I pulled out of the center, I made the card below. The greeting is from Healing Hugs.

Then as I was talking to my good friend, Carol Wheeler, last night, she asked if there was a Stitched Circle Framelit that would work with this greeting.

WaLa! Just what the card needed!!  Now it looks finished!

Postcard Pals - It's Your Day!

Here is a really fun technique using the new Stitched Rectangle Framelits!

You get TWO CARDS out of one piece of designer paper!!

This is the Wood Textures 6 x 6 Designer Series Papers.

• I used the largest Stitched Rectangle Framelit to cut a frame out of the Wood Textures Designer Paper that was 5 1/4"x 4".
• I wanted to have an 1/8" border around the outside of the frame so that the main card would show a little bit..  That is why I didn't start with a 5 1/2"x 4 1/4" piece of designer paper.
• Next, I took the designer paper that was cut out of the inside and made the next card that you see below.
• I used the Stitched Shapes square for the Early Espresso and the Layering Squares Framelits for the white square.  If you do not have these, you can simply cut out a 2 5/8" square for the Early Espresso and a 2 1/8" white square for the pelican.

Isn't this the greatest idea!!!

Retiring Products

It's time to retire some products to make room for new products in the 2019-2020 Annual catalog coming out in June.

 

I know we hate to see some of our favorite products retire. But we also can't wait for the new products. Make sure to look at the list closely and get any ink and cardstock you may want. Especially the In-Colors which usually sell out fast.
