Nature's Harvest Fall Challenge Tower Pinwheel Card

Hello there! I have an awesome card for you today.

My Upline, Linda Bauwin, has contests for us with the release of every new catalog. She sends us certain products from the new inventory and we are to use at least some of it to make a contest card to send back to her for judging. We have an opportunity to earn $25, $50, $75 or $100 in product if our card is chosen! It's a great incentive to get those creative juices flowing and do your BEST work!

This was my most recent submission. I had a lot of fun making this card and seeing some of the new products that I hadn't purchased - yet ;) LOL! Lemme just tell ya, that cork paper...I had no desire to buy it -until I saw it/worked with it in person. Holy cow!!! It is AMAZING! It really POPs on the projects. I love it so much, I ordered 2 packs for myself!

And...like in my last post, I'm making Purple Coneflowers again with the gorgeous Nature's Harvest stamp set. Can you tell that I love it?! It's hard to see in the picture but behind the stamped image is the Gold Glimmer Vellum. It's subtly elegant!

Linda sent some pieces of Nature's Meadow DSP, Blackberry Bliss Ephemera Pack and the Gold Shimmer ribbon too. I had lots of items to decorate all 4 panels of my tower card.

I really think the one thing that sets this tower card apart from others is that I used the Basic Border dies on every layer. It was so fun to mix it up just a little from the original tower cards and it certainly added a touch of elegance, IMHO.

All that 3D effect and it folds nicely into a regular A2 envelope!

Cool huh? Would you like to join us? Now is the perfect time! You can choose $125 in product PLUS any one of the following bundles for just $99

August Stampin Stray Ducklings Blog Waddle

Hi Friends!

I share my passion for stamps, ink & paper with a special flock of ladies called the "Stampin' Stray Ducklings". Whenever we're together, feathers fly because of all the fun we have! Today, my feathered (or notsomuch! LOL) friends & I are featuring Sale-A-Bration and the new Holiday Mini.

Can you believe it's Round 2 of SaleABration for 2021? I think this is almost as good as Christmas!

We made this card in my class today & it was a big hit!

We used the Nature's Harvest stamp set. I love Purple Coneflowers so this set does not disappoint me! We stamped the Coneflowers in Early Espresso on a piece of crumb cake that had been die cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies. Then we colored the image with our Watercolor Pencils. We used the Blender Pens to blend the color. After our image was all colored, we ran it through the Bark 3D embossing folder. Such a cool effect!

We adhered 2 strips of the Be Dazzling paper (which you can choose FREE with your $50 purchase!) on the sides.

Just look at how shiny those Bedazzles are! They remind me of a disco ball!

And there you have it! Please make sure to check in with the rest of my duckling friends. Next up is Sheryl Diemer or you're welcome to waddle back to visit Sue Boerner
