Epic This and That and Bombs Away

 I am so in love with the new products from the This and That line!  I just can't get enough of the fabulous Epic Day DSP and coordinating Washi Tape!!  I used both to create the first sample for this month's sketch inspiration.  First of all, here is the sketch:

April's inspiration sketch

and here is my first sample:

Thank you card featuring the new Epic Day DSP and Washi Tape as well as the Round Array and Essentials stamp sets

What's not to love about these products?  I chose to showcase the DSP on this card using a bit of just about every pattern in the package!  We made this at my Team meeting this week and my team agree that This and That is where it's at!  The best part is that they - and you!- can order the entire bundle of products from the This and That line at a 15% discount until the end of April.  Sa-weet!!

Now for another great new product announcement!  Introducing the latest addition to Stampin' Up's Photopolymer stamp line:  Bombs Away.  Check out the fun images in this set:

Sent with Love Birthday

Happy Monday!  It is a REALLY happy Monday in our household because it marks the first day of March Break!  No school for anybody...woohoo!  I'm looking forward to a week of checking jobs off my To-Do List and my son is planning a week of playdates!  Not sure how both are going to happen, but we'll see.
Today I have another card I designed using the Sent With Love Bundle that is currently on promotion.  I am so loving this fun DSP...it is terrific for making masculine cards.  Check this one out:

Birthday card featuring the Sent With Love bundle and sentiment from  the Essentials set

We made this card at my team meeting last week and it was a hit!  Everyone loves the DSP and this card really showcases it well.  I used a stamp from the Essentials set, which is a great font and the perfect size for this design.  I embossed the card base using the Houndstooth TIEF, leaving a portion at the bottom smooth for interest.
On another note, if you LIKED my Facebook page this month, be sure to stop by later today to see if you the lucky winner to a free month's subscription for Craft Project Central.  If you are, I'll be in touch soon with the details about your subscription!

More Clockworks Manliness

I am so on a roll with the Man-cards this week!  I mentioned last week that I am working on a new Kit-to-Go that features the Clockworks set.  Today I'd like to show you a card I designed based on this week's sketch challenge over at The Paper Players.  It's a great sketch with so many possibilities...have a look:

Here's my manly take on it:

Inside view

I just love this stamp set!  It is so much fun to just play with.  For this card I completely omitted the actual pocket watch image and stuck to just the gears and backgrounds.  This design will most certainly make it into the line-up for my Kit...stay tuned for more previews.  The kit launches Feb. 1st!
Speaking of February, have you RSVP'd for my Sale-a-bration Extravaganza yet?  It is coming up this Saturrday afternoon.  It is a FREE event, but I need to order food, so please confirm your attendance by Wednesday, January 30th.
