Zinnias in Black and White

With yesterday’s launch of the Online Exclusives, I shared a bright and beautiful card with the trio of Zinnias in the Simply Zinnia Bundle. If you missed that card, you can see it here. While I was preparing that card, I stamped and cropped two zinnia images in case my coloring was a bust. I tossed the leftover image on a pile of “to file” papers, which included a black-and-white pattern from the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper – and a card was born! Here’s the card I made:

I’m so excited for this new product release – the zinnias are a hit! Here’s a look at the Simply Zinnias Bundle – such gorgeous images with a clean, modern design:

I love the sentiment that says “words fail to express my gratitude.” I isolated the large “gratitude” and layered it on a panel of Basic Gray as a tie-back to the card base. Here’s a closer look:

While it makes sense for the me to share the gorgeous, colorful patterns in the Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (they are delicious!), here’s a look at the black-and-white patterns in the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper:

I sprinkled my card with Basic Gray dots from the Classic Matte Dots – such a great collection of neutral tones when you need them.

Join Me for a Stamp-a-Long

As I shared over the weekend, I’m hosting an Online Exclusives Stamp-a-long to showcase some of these new products and make some projects with you – so I’d love for you  join me. On Friday, March 22, I’m hosting a two-hour stamp-a-long for all of my customers who purchase one or both of the Suite Collections from me during the first week of the launch (to give you time to receive your products in time for the call). Fun, huh?

To qualify for the 2-hour event, all you need to do is purchase one (or both) of the following from me before March 12:

• A Little Latte Suite Collection (#163466)
• Flowering Zinnias Suite Collection – unfortunately, the embellishments in this suite are not available at launch, so you can qualify by purchasing the Simply Zinnia Bundle (#163480), Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper (#163469) and Zinnia 3D Embossing Folder (#163337). It’s the same price as the collection without the sequins.

When you purchase one or both of the Suite Collections listed above from the Online Exclusives launch before March 12, I’ll send you a little packet for the cards we’ll make on the call, along with a list of the supplies you’ll need to make the cards on the call. This is going to be so fun!

Thanks for stopping by today!
