Melinda Leftwich

Here is a card I made at the Shoebox swap a couple of weeks ago. Melinda used the adorable Patterned Occasions Stamp Set. I love the colors in this card and the framed and embossed coffee mug is pretty neat! I got this embossing folder FREE from last year's Sale-a-bration event and never used it until the shoebox swap. I don't know why I waited so long to use it!

I always try to use Daffodil Delight but can never seem to design a card where it just works - Melinda did an awesome job with this project! These colors scream baby shower to me but can also be used for spring or just a card to say "hello". This is another Sale-a-bration stamp set (free with a $50 purchase) called Pretty Petites. You can also get the NEW coordinating Petite Curly Label punch for FREE during Sale-a-bration with any $50 order - but if you miss out you can still purchase it afterwards as it will be available in the 2013-14 Annual Catalog - yay!!! As you can see in this card there is a full sized Curly Label Punch so you can layer these 2 punches together! The background stamp is the Distressed Dots.

MORE Single Stamps – thru March 31, 2013!

As promised - here is a little more detail on the NEW Single Stamps!
