Thank You Thinlits
12/29/2018
It's time for THANK YOU cards!! This is a challenge I received from #DeniseWaddell, my Team Leader from California. Denise sent me an envelope with pieces of the adorable ALL MY LOVE Designer Sereis Paper#148576 from the upcoming 2019 Occasions Catalog. Directions: make a card and post it! I needed a Thank You card for a new customer so paired the designer paper with the THANK YOU THINLITS #146832! Perfect!
I love petite print papers because they are easier to use than big splashy designs.
I hope this makes the recipient SMILE!!
GET READY!! The 2019 Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Promo begin Jan. 3rd!! It's the BEST time of year!

How to Select Colors for Uninked Spectrum Pad
08/22/2018
What is BETTER than a Spectrum Ink Pad??? An UNINKED Spectrum Pad!! Build you own color combos for any season or occasion! How???
To select FIVE colors for your uninked pad, cut strips of cardstock colors and play till you find a combo you love and that fills your needs. I chose: Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist, Pineapple Punch, Mango Melody and Flirty Flamingo. Then grab your reinkers in those colors and create your color combo. BE SURE TO RECORD YOUR COLORS FOR LATER RE-INKING!! I wrote right on the back of the pad.
The cover of the pad has an indented slot where I added cardstock using Tear & Tape to label the colors, also. Colors at a glance!
For this card, I left the Spectrum Pad separated and place white cardstock on top of the pad. I rubbed the back of the cardstock till I started to detect the colors soaking into the cardstock from the backside. I stamped the sentiment and details from A BIG THANK YOU Stamp Set #147377 in Jet Black Momento Ink.
Lastly, I topped the layer with vellum. I love this card! Try it!!
Abstract Impressions Bundle

This gorgeous butterfly die is part of the Bundle. Bundled products save you 10%!
The wing tips are not attached and slightly curved up to show a "peekaboo" of the designer paper!
This unique corner die is cut from the same designer paper as the envelope flap. There is ENDLESS versatility when you purchase an entire "suite" of products that the professional artists have designed to coordinate!!
