Wednesday's Kit Class- Sale-a-bration Summer Shadows Dies

 

Wednesday's Kit Class with the Sale-a-bration item, Summer Shadows Dies. You can only earn these by ordering $100 worth from my online store. The really cool thing is that they coordinate with a stamp set from the Annual Catalog, Shaded Summer.  However, you don't have to have that stamp to make beautiful cards with just the dies. I paired the dies with another Sale-a-bration stamp set, the Delicate Dahlias but you could use any stamp set you have to finish these cards. These cards show how to have different layouts with 1 flower, 2 flowers, and even 3 flowers. 

Order $35 worth from my website between Wednesday the 15th through Friday the 17th and get this paper kit of items for FREE! Just shop with the Hostess Code (Fw7qksfq) or the link below.

This card with 2 flowers turned out so classy and beautiful by using the gold foil to outline the flowers and leaves. However, in my craft room we treat gold foil like gold and use it sparely and not waste it! Be sure to watch my video and see how created a frame of gold allowed me to die cut out the gold details with ease.
