SAB Free products - You're Lovely

This is a very pretty stamp set that includes five images: two large stamps that can be die cut with the Deco Labels Framelits, two small greetings and one floral border style image.  As you can see from the samples below, you can use a variety of small greetings to make the images suit your needs.

I have tried to showcase cards that range between very clean and simple to the more "fussy" cards with lots of details.  There is something for everyone's style!

This is such a fun stamp set!  There are 4 large stamps in this set.  Each greeting has a small image to go with it.  You could easily use "parts" of each stamp by mounting it differently or by using markers to ink the parts you want.

Below are some cute projects showcasing the set.  Many of the projects showcase other exclusive SAB products, including the Banner punch, the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, the Sweet Sorbet DSP and Sweet Sorbet Accessory pack.

SAB Free products - Good As Gold Kit

There is a fun card kit available as one of the free SAB items this year.  It is called Good As Gold.  Although I am actually not much of a "gold girl" (silver is my favourite metallic colour), it is a really fabulous kit!

This pictures shows the contents of the kit.

You can click here to view a sweet "Treat Box" that Dawn Olchefske designed using the kit.  The card box tutorial starts at about 2:27 into the video.  

Here are some pictures of cards and other projects made using the kit.

These projects were made by Diane Barnes.
  You can click here to go to her website and see how she "altered" the card to make a post-it note holder.   

This card, made by Amanda Burditt, shows how you can cut the card bases apart to make other projects.
You will be able to STRETCH your kit out if you do things like this.

Hope you enjoyed this quick peek at the Good As Gold Card kit!

Peachy Keen!

Hi everyone,

This video was designed for Demonstrators to view/use - but I think it shows some great ideas you can make with these cute coordinating products.

Check it out here!

Please note that there have been a lot of questions about the stamp set and die, so here is some information for you about these products.  This info is written "for" demonstrators, but it has good tips for all of us!

Enjoy your day!

PEACHY KEEN STAMP SET AND THE ON FILM FRAMELITS DIES

January 31, 2014

The occasions catalogue is full of beautiful products for all of your springtime creations. One exciting new set that has generated a lot of buzz is Peachy Keen. We posted a catalogue correction note concerning this set and the On Film Framelits Dies (page 18 of the occasions catalogue) explaining that the camera image in the stamp set doesn't coordinate with the camera die in the Framelits set. But the image and die seem to coordinate, right? While the image and the die are similar, the camera die is meant to create its own, unique embossed image-it was never meant to cut out the stamped image. (The same is true for the instant photo die-it's designed to emboss and cut, not to coordinate with a stamped image.) As such, we will not re-design the die or the stamp set. 

There are some fun ways for you and your customers to get the most of the Peachy Keen/On Film combo.

First, there's the traditional route. You can cut out an embossed image with the camera and instant photo film dies. Technically, this functionality makes them Thinlits, meaning they do not create a frame around a coordinating image like Framelits dies, but cut around something, like a stamp image, and can be used for layering. Thinlits are intended to stand alone and not coordinate with a stamped image. So, why did we name the Framelits pack "Framelits" if there are Thinlits included in the pack? Naming standards passed down from Sizzix naming standards require us to give the name "Framelits" to any pack of dies if the pack has more Framelits than Thinlits.

If you want an embossed, inked camera image, ink the camera die before running it through the Big Shot (see the Peachy Keen card on page 3 of the occasions catalogue). One big difference between Framelits and Thinlits is how you feed it through the Big Shot. Thinlits are more intricate than Framelits and should go through the Big Shot cutting edge up. Since they are not intended to coordinate with stamps, there's no image to line it up with. If you add some ink to the die, however, you can stamp, emboss, and cut all at once!

And, last but not least, we've discovered a way for you to cut out the camera image from Peachy Keen with the camera die from the On Film Framelits Dies-after you emboss the camera die, flip it over and stamp! One of our concept artists demonstrates this technique (and shows off more samples!) in the video.
