ICS BLOG HOP-LET'S SALE-BRATE!

Here we are in 2016 in our first ICS SALE-A-BRATION post!!!  Welcome to another month of the 

Inspire, Create, Share Blog Hop!!! 

I know you'll find some amazing ideas to use your 

FREE 

items from 

Sale-A-Bration 2016!!!

Here's what I came up with:

I used one of the great 3-step stamp sets that Stampin' Up! comes up with! This one is exclusive to the SAB catalog. It's called What I Love!  

I designed this as a little set of 4 note cards that I needed as a gift for someone. They will get the 4 cards & 4 matching envelopes in a clear envelope!  They are not too busy as she is not that type! Prefers the Clean and Simple cards I make. But these have enough going on that there some "pop" to them! 

I used the 2014-2016 In-Colors. I have a lot of the materials that go with those colors & want to be sure to use them before we get our new In-Colors in May!!! I like the way these go together-and they make me think of spring!!! Can't get here fast enough!!!

The fancy little corners were made with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch!  That's a nifty little tool for when you need just that special something on the edges!  Easy to use too!!! 

So how go hop over to Terri's blog & keep going!!! You can either click on her name or on the picture below! Be sure to leave a comment when you visit! We love to hear from you!!!!

Until next month!!!!

Happy Stamping'!

PLUNGING ON THIN LAYER!!!

Over at 

The Paper Plunge 

this week we are creating cards with only 1 layer! Now for many of us that's really tough! So much to play with!!! But I actually LOVE 1-layer cards!!!

Here's mine:

It's a simple card, yet I think it packs a punch! There are 3 stamp sets used here! Bordering Blooms, Feel Goods, and Kinda Eclectic!  It's an upbeat, positive, cheery card! I used my Stampin' Markers to color the flowers! 

See some colors you don't recognize? There are new In-Colors there!!! Next week you'll be able to order your own!!!! They are so pretty this time! And they coordinate so nicely with all our current colors!

By the way, I stamped this on one of our Note Cards! They come in 

Whisper White & Crumb Cake & with matching envelopes! A bit smaller than a normal card, but they are perfect for any sentiment! I used them frequently!!

So now head over to The Paper Plunge and see what the rest of the Design Team has in store for you! I've seen some & they're really cool! Be sure to visit their blogs! Oh, and get creative! Add your own creation!!!! All are welcome! Just must be Stampin' Up! products!!! Have fun! Can't wait to see what you come up with!!!

Happy Stampin'!
