The card today is made from the fabulous new Textured Notes Suite of products. I did not use everything, but came close. If you like texture, then these products are for you.
STAMPBUNDLE
The Textured Notes Bundle is one of the new Online Exclusives that dropped yesterday. This is definitely a favorite. I first was drawn to this bundle because of the Dies. They are rectangle, layering Dies with different detailing around the edges of each. You can see the detail on the cane weave DSP layer as well as the sentiment layer.
Then after getting the stamp set, I was really drawn to the different images of texture and the simple floral. That doesn’t even take into account the sweet sentiments. There are a couple of different ones that have this fun scripted font. You can also see a different detail on the sentiment layer. I added the little floral to the sentiment layer by fussy cutting it. It was not difficult or time consuming to do. The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso Ink with the foliage tone on tone with Pecan Pie.
PAPERS
These different papers may be the star of the card actually. They are both part of the Woven Textures Designer Series Paper. The images are so clear and detailed that you want to run your fingers across them to feel the texture! The cane weave is beautiful, but I also love the linen look on the sentiment layer. And it is actually the opposite side of the cane weave. All of the sheets are as vibrant as these.
The card base and layer are colors I saw in the DSP. For the card base I went with Pecan Pie and then Crumb Cake for the layer. These work very well together.
SPECIAL TOUCHES
The most stand out of the card may be the bottom layer. This cardboard looking layer is made using the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder. The detail and depth of the design is fabulous. Even though it is simply a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock, it looks like much more.
There must be bling. Although with the more rustic scene, I felt shiny bling would be out of place. So the new Neutral Matte Dots fit the need perfectly. Actually I did not realize the Pecan Pie was even one of the dot colors. There is a trio of them scattered around.

You are getting a couple of sneak peeks of upcoming Online Exclusives. I have gone a bit overboard on the demonstrator pre order on this upcoming release. It is fabulous. The card I am sharing is a case of the sample card when this goes Live next month.
STAMPS
These trees are from the upcoming Online Exclusive stamp set Wooded Acres. I love the simple tree textures. However there is almost the exact stamp, but with full leaves, included in the set. It is a two stamp set. And after this card I am really excited to play with it even more.
The trees are stamped using Pebbled Path Ink. I believe it gives it the far off in the distance look without being too bold. If you look at the trio of trees on the bottom right and add them to the edge of the left side, that is the length of the stamp. So you can see how I stamped it off the paper with every inking.
The sentiment is from another of the preorder Online Exclusives. It is from a large Suite of products. This sentiment is from the Textured Notes stamp set. And like I said, it is a large Suite that you will fall in love with if you like natural and texture.
PAPERS& INKS
There are no special papers today. I used Berry Burst cardstock as the base with Wild Wheat cardstock for the narrow layer. Then I created the stamped background with inks and blending brushes. In my mind, it is a sunset view in the mountains.
The bottom section is a light coloring using Wild Wheat Ink. Next is the sunset using Berry Burst Ink. Finally the sky is Misty Moonlight. All of the colors were done fairly lightly.
EXTRAS
To tie in all of the ink colors I added the Natural Tones Linen Thread in the dark blue. I had used the other two ink colors with matching paper. But had not used a blue paper. So a wrap around and a bow took care of the blues.
The final touch is the bling! I used the Sale-A-Bration Purple Adhesive Sequins scattered around. There are different shades of purple/pink sequins in the package. I used three different shades to go along with my color shading.

I have matched the Citrus Blooms set with the fun Sale-A-Bration Fruit Salad DSP. They are perfect pairing for a sweet card.
Speaking of SAB, have you seen the new February additions? Oh My!!! There are several from Current catalogs in the list. Just remember that there are different product numbers on the SAB sheet for these products. If you use the catalog number they will show up as a price and not Free. Here is the flyer.
Now here is the focus of today’s post.
STAMPS& DIES
The Citrus Blooms stamp set from the Annual Catalog seemed a great pairing to go with these fun papers. Plus I just love the fruit images. And I love to color. This orange is colored with Stampin’ Blends to look somewhat like an orange.
Those little stars, I believe they are supposed to be little flowers, are from the matching Die set. I think they make a great addition of color and texture for the card. And the sentiment is from the set as well. I think it is an especially nice sentiment for a friend or as a Thank You.
PAPERS
These two different DSP pieces are from the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper pack from Sale-A-Bration. The color are what made me look for a piece of fruit to pair with them. That and the Fruit Salad name of course! I paired Lemon Lime Twist for the card base with Basic White between the DSP layers. The addition of the Daffodil Delight stars ties everything together easily.
EXTRAS
There are actually a few Extras today. First is the punch for the sentiment. This is the Labeled With Love Punch. It is a great size and I really like the touches on the ends for a little more detail. The stars probably count as some extra. But I still had to add some bling. So there are a scattering of Gold Textured Adhesive Dots to add some shine.
MEASUREMENTS
To give you info on the layers, I have the measurements for you. The card base is 4 1/4 X 11, folded at 5 1/2. The first White layer is 4 X 5 1/4. And the yellow DSP is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8. The second White is 3 1/4 X 4 1/2 with the green at 3 1/8 X 4 3/8. You all know how much I love layers!!

I love making little treat holders to hand out to the nice people I encounter regularly. The ones I have to share today have been around for some time. Actually I had a lady message me asking exactly how it went together. So after playing with it to help her, I decided I should make some to hand out. It is a Double Treat Holder. I have used it for Ghirardelli Chocolates and Tea Bags. This one has gorgeous DSP to make it extra special.
I have the directions at the bottom of the post. They are pretty simple to score and fold.
STAMPS & DIES
This sweet stamp is is from the Mixed Labels Bundle. And the adorable Die cut shape is made using one of the matching Dies. I love the stitching with detail around the edge. Plus the new shape is wonderful. On The opposite side of the treat holder I added a little note card. The sentiment from it is from the fabulous So Sincere stamp set. It is definitely one that is a keeper for some great sentiments.
The the opposite side of the treat holder is the exact same size as the front. You could add a second treat there in place of a note. Here is a view of that side.
PAPERS
This gorgeous paper is the Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper. It is back in stock now so Woohoo!! The gold marbling is on one side with red, cherry cobbler, pretty in pink, white, and gold. The stamping was done on good ol’ Basic White. So a simple supply project as well.
EXTRAS
The Cherry Cobbler and Gold ribbon used to hold the sides together is from Holiday Catalog that just went out. It is still available but with low inventory. For the bling I used the Gold Textured Adhesive Dots. There are three different sizes and I used the middle size to add a touch of gold to the main sentiment.
DIRECTIONS
The treat holder uses a 6X6 piece of DSP. Use your Simply Scored Scoring Tool. I have drawn a line down the center of mine from the 6″ mark using a Black Sharpie. This makes the steps for this project much easier. So….place the DSP on the scoring tool with a point at the 6″ mark and the other lines up in the 6″ line. You have a diamond shape. Score at 4 1/2 and 7 1/2. Make a turn in either direction and score at 5 1/4, 6, and 6 3/4.
Fold and burnish on all of the score lines. Decide which paper you want to be on the outside front folds, like where my sentiment is. Now fold the two side score folds towards the center. They overlap a bit and that is perfect. Then fold the three center scores with the center one making a mountain. Fold the other two so they meet to make the shape. There is no adhesive needed! Here is a view of the side so you can see those center score lines as they need to fold. Let me know if you have any problems.

Today I have a quick card using two complimentary Pear products. That is not something I would normally think of as a having a starring role. However they work wonderfully together.
STAMPS
The Penciled Pear is focal layer of the card. I have always liked it for a plain card with a pop. It is sort of a subtle stamp. And it has great sentiments included in the set. For this card I used the Direct To Rubber Technique using Stampin’ Write Markers. Granny Apple Green is the body, Old Olive is the leaf and the shadow, and Early Espresso is the stem. The set does not include matching Dies. So I fussy cut the pear to layer here.
The sentiment is one that I mentioned is included in the stamp set. I believe it is such a sweet way of saying Thank You. Having these type cards ready to go when someone is extra special, or for a friend, is always nice.
The Stampin’ Write Markers used in the Direct To Rubber Technique only are available in a color family pack. Now is the perfect time to get two packs of these. The current Sale-A-Bration Starter Kit Special includes 2 packs of Stampin’ Write Markers as a Bonus!!! Additionally you receive a special Stamp Set plus the regular $125.00 in products of your choice for $99.00. And did I mention that shipping is FREE!!! If you are interested please reach out to me.
PAPERS
This fun Pear paper is actually from the Sale-A-Bration DSP named Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper. The pack has almost any fruit you can think of included. I was surprised when I saw the pears and immediately thought of the Penciled Pear to “PAIR” with it! LOL!!!
To add a bit more to the sentiment and focal layer, I fussy cut a pear from the edge of the strip I had cut away from the sheet. It tucks perfectly under the Penciled Pear. And to help the pears stand out I layerd them on an Early Espresso circle.
EXTRAS
The circle behind the pears is the first of the extras. This was made using the 2 3/8″ Circle Punch. I love circle punches for quick focal layers. To add some texture, I used two different products. Beneath the circle I added a twisted bow using the Natural Tones Linen Thread from the last Mini Catalog. And of course some bling. This bling is not super shiny. It is the Earthtone Shimmer Gems which are in a few different colors. I used a trio of the green to highlight the green pears.

The card I have to share today is a mix of new OnLine , Sale-A-Bration, and Mini Catalog products. This octagon shape is the star.
STAMPS & DIES
This focal octagon shape is from the Memorable Blooms Bundle in the Mini Catalog. There is another smaller Octagon that fits inside this one. That Die has a floral design included. For this card all I needed was the plain shape. For the inside of the shape I used one of the Elements of Text stamps that is a new Online Exclusive set. This is the long, skinny text stamp. There is a larger, more square, one also. It is stamped as the background using Smoky Slate Ink.
The pretty floral stamp in the focal layer is from the Memorable Blooms Bundle as well. It is stamped using Tuxedo Memento Black Ink and then colored using Stampin’ Blends. My colors for the entire card are Berry Burst and Lost Lagoon. That is what I used to color the floral. And the simple, yet bold, sentiment is from the stamp set as well.
PAPERS
To create the background of this card was as simple as choosing this sheet of paper from the Beautiful Bokeh Designer Series Paper. This sheet is what inspired the card colors. And the strip of the sentiment is the reverse side of this splattered sheet. I wanted to use it but was afraid the ink would not show very well on the Berry Burst darker color. However with the boldness of the stamp it worked just fine. I love stamping on DSP!
The card base is Berry Burst with layers of Lost Lagoon. The little strip beneath the sentiment layer was all it needed to give it some grounding.
EXTRAS
To have some additional of the berry color, I turned to one of the Free items from Sale-A-Bration. These are the Purple Sequins. Products are Free with a qualifying order. These sequins are a couple of different shades of pink. They fit perfectly with my card today.
