Citrus Blooms Mediterranean Tile Card

Capri is Calling

It’s CATALOG PREMIER DAY and I am doing the happy dance! Do you have a favorite suite of products? Or pretty paper you can’t resist?

My top pick will be no surprise: The Mediterranean Blooms Suite reminds me of the island of Capri, Italy and that’s where my inspiration came from for this card…plus, I have a tutorial for you!

Lemons are plentiful in Capri, and while I chose to use Peach Pie Stampin’ Blends to color my citrus fruit, it still feels like the island, with the blue & white tiles that reflect the ocean.

I’m still enjoying the sun in another beautiful part of the planet, so I’ll update links when I return, but you can start shopping today at my Stampin’ Store!

Meanwhile, print out this tutorial and be prepared to answer the call of Capri- by mailing a little sunshine this summer:

Water(color) Melon for Sale-a-Bration

Many of our 2024 Sale-a-Bration freebies coordinate with a new product in the January-April mini catalog, so today I’m showing you how the Watercolor Melon SAB stamp set (an option you can choose free with a $50 order) coordinates with the Modern Oval punch, and that punch *also* matches the Filled with Happiness stamp set!

Let’s say you purchased the Modern Oval punch and Filled with Happiness stamp set and a set of Stampin’ Blends markers, NOW you qualify for a free Sale-a-Bration product…like the Watercolor Melon stamp set!

Hey look! They work interchangeably!

Let’s get a close-up look at these two similar-but-different cards:

Lay down your card stock strips and stamp the “It’s a Good Day” stamp on the white layer BEFORE you emboss it with the Sweet Citrus Hybrid 3-D Embossing Folder.

Stamp the same image again, color in with Stampin’ Blends and punch out the center with the Modern Oval punch to lift up in the center with dimensionals!

Moving on with a similar idea…

Use the slices and wedges of watermelon as your background, then turn your card stock stripes vertically. Use the full watermelon (punched with the Modern Oval) as the place to put your sentiment, which came from the Filled with Happiness set! Isn’t it nice how they all coordinate for bright and beautiful card making?

I guess you could call this one a “Thanks-a-Melon” card! Remember the inside- stamping a little slice of melon with seeds carries the theme through the card.

What are you waiting for? Choosing something free NOW with your qualifying order gives you time to order AGAIN before Sale-a-Bration ends on February 29th, and everyone loves a gift-with-purchase!
