Blending Brushes - My New Best Friends

If you haven't tried our new Blending Brushes ... well, you just really must try them. 

I used to try so hard to get a good, smooth background using one of our sponges and I had minimal success.  I felt like I might have been sponging impaired:)  These new brushes are amazing!

Here's one of the cards we'll be making at my next class.  We'll use a die to create a mask, create a beautiful blended background and then add some magical finishing touches.

About my card:

I cut down the front of one of our Hand-Penned Memories and More (Cards and Envelopes) to use for the top layer of my card.  I used the part I trimmed off for the inside of my card.  I used the back of the card to cut the oval die cut piece.  Therefore, no waste at all and a totally different look for the card.  Love it!  The photo doesn't really do it justice because, as you probably know by now, Wink of Stella and/or Shimmer Mist do not show up in photographs.  I used the negative piece from the oval die cut to mask off all but the  actual oval and then spritzed it with my Champaign Shimmer Mist.  I love this and will never quit using it.  We don't carry it any more but you can get it on Amazon.  It's just too pretty to give up using it.

EXCITING TIMES ARE IN STORE FOR OUR FUTURE!

I know you may be overwhelmed by all the recent changes with SU and all, but stay with me and I'll help you through it all.  First up --- On August 3, a new Sale-A-Bration will begin.  That means for products you order from the regular catalogs, you can qualify for free Sale-A-Bration products.  As if that's not enough, you can soon order from our Holiday Mini Catalog.  If you don't have current catalogs, please contact me to stop by and get yours.  They're free for all my customers!  But wait!  There's more!  We'll be having a Part 2 soon for our Sale-A-Bration.  I'll keep you up to date on all the info you'll need to know. 

Sale-A-Bration Part 2 is coming!

Well this is really exciting. We are getting a 2nd wave of Sale a Bration this year!

In the past, this has been an annual promotion for 3 months at the start of the year, but we have changed it up a bit.

We had a 2 month promotion in January and February, and we have a 2nd wave for August and September!

All the same great perks – free products when you shop, free stamps when you place a larger order, amazing joining offer – but this time, they’re seasonally perfect for Winter and pair perfectly with the new catalogue that launches at the same time.

I will have more specific details as we get a bit closer to the time.  I just wanted to give you a heads up now.  So ... get ready for lots of fun and excitement.

And check out the close-up on this gorgeous free paper. It’s a WOW!

Check back with me soon.  I'll be sharing some 'Christmas in July' projects.  I really hope to get going on all my Christmas cards and projects earlier this year than in the past.  Wish me luck!
