Happy Thursday! Back in December I posted this Z-fold card as a sneak peek of the new Stampin' Up! Spring Mini catalog. This is a stamp and PUNCH bundle which is great for new stampers who may not have invested in a die cutting device or even those who want to craft while traveling. A punch is pretty easy to take.
Last week I had a workshop where we made several cards using this suite of products. I typically don't use a whole lot of patterned paper on my cards but this paper is too darn cute and really makes for some great designs.
I used the sketch I made for Tuesday's challenge at CAS Colours & Sketches. It is a wonderful "two-fer." Because of the way you cut the paper it is super easy to make two cards at the same time. Click here to see Tuesday's post. I used a directional pattern paper so my two cards are mirrored.
The fourth card we made was one I CASE'd from the catalog. I almost made another but I decided to show the stampers an example of what NOT to do and what to do if it happens. I had this card laying near my baby wipes (what I use for stamp cleaning) and a dirty one dropped on it! This is now an embellishment opportunity and I'll use some hearts or flowers from the suite to cover up the stains.
While this card is simple looking I did learn a few things (beyond where not to put my wipes!) to make it easier to construct.
The Spring Mini Catalog is now out and Sale-A-Bration is going on through the end of February. With Sale-A-Bration you can earn FREE

For every $50* you spend with me I will send you a retired stamp set or die set from my stash ($100 earns a bundle while available!) Some of my sets are lightly used, but many are brand new! Spend at least $200 and I will also include some retired DSP. This is while supplies last so act now!
