Let's take a walk through the Sale a bration brochure

The very first free stamp set in the SAB brochure is the ADORABLE OWLS

I am having so much fun making cards with these adorable owls. I already shared a bunch of samples with you, but here are a couple more.

I love the black and white theme on this first card. This card was inspired by Leanne Miller (no blog)

Products used: Dots & Spots Die, Stylish Shapes Dies, Layering Circles Dies, Stripes & Splatters Embossing Folder (twin pack - I used the Splatters one), Scalloped Contour Dies, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Black & White Gingham Ribbon, Versa Mark & White Embossing Powder, Stampin' Blends

Card #2 will end up being a card that will be out for one of my Tuesday classes. It was inspired by Terri Bright. It is a fun fold that could be made horizontally like shown or vertically.

Other Products Used: Dandy Designs DSP, (also a FREE SAB item), Glimmer Paper, Inspired Thoughts Stamp Set, Stylish Shapes, Stampin' Blends

Card #3 - so cute and fun!! Inspired by Erin

Other products used: Better Together (retired stamp set) for the branches. - There are a couple sets that are current that have a branch stamp & die, but I haven't purchased the Nested Friends Bundle and the limb from Perched in a Tree doesn't have leaves (and I really wanted leaves on my branches.)

Also used: Playing in the Rain Dies (grasses), Conversation Bundle (mini Catalog), Stampin' Blends

Technique: sponging for the background in Balmy Blue and Crumb Cake

In these next few cards you will see me using the Picture This die

This cute Valentine card was inspired by Rachel Merrick

Other Products Used: Country Lane Designer Paper, Country Bouquet Bundle, Country Gingham 6x6 DSP, Pastel Sequins, Linen Thread, Stampin' Blends

the Dandy Designs Designer Paper (FREE with a $100 order) has 48 - 12x12 sheets - what a great deal. This card and the next two were inspired by Karen Hadler

Other products used: Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon, Stylish Shapes Dies, Stampin' Blends

This one was made using the circles that get cut out when you cut out the Picture This Die.

And this third one, I just added some greenery from the Forever Fern Dies. The greeting banner is from a retired die set

This is card #8 - and uses yet another pattern from the Dandy Designs Designer Paper.

Inspired by Wendy Lee

Other Products Used: Give It A Whirl Dies (clouds), Conversation Dies, Stampin' Blends

I just love this card that I saw on Pinterest, but I do not know the originator.

Product used: Heart Punch, retired small heart punches, Timber Embossing Folder, Versa Mark & White embossing powder.

The vines are from the Dainty Flowers Dies

I think this would be so fun for an anniversary card.

This next item was one of the table decorations at our Mid-Winter Retreat (and yes I did fussy cut all those little leaves out from the Celebrate Everything Hostess Exclusive designer paper from the July-December Mini Catalog.
