January's Featured Manufacturers
Welcome to 2010! It's been a while for a new post here on the blog...and I've been creating some new cards, layouts, etc for you so I'm hoping to be able to blog a little bit more regularly now. Well, at least that's one of my goals!
Today I want to talk a little bit about January's TWO featured manufacturers! Starting with January 2010's manufacturers, you'll have 2 companies to choose from, PLUS instead of last year's 15% off...you'll get 25% off on all goodies from both of these companies!!
The first company that we are featuring this month is SEI. SEI has been around the scrapbook industry for quite a while now. They are consistently coming up with beautiful collections, and we have been carrying their company's products for a few years now.
The second company that we are featuring is Cornish Heritage Farms. This is a newer company to us, as we've just been carrying them since 2009. They have a fabulous collection of cling-mounted rubber stamps that we carry. The above card was created using a Cornish Heritage Farms stamp set! :)
The rest of the details about the card...I started with an olive green card base, and then I ran it through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots embossing folder. Doesn't look embossed you say?? Well...that's 'cuz it's not! :) I inked up the folder's dots and ran it through my Cuttlebug, and it just inked the little dots instead. Next, I took a bit of the Bella Boulevard Honey I'm Home papers and ripped a little bit off the edge. Next I took my Cuttlebug again, and cut out some Bazzill Swiss Dot embossed paper with the Nestabilities die. I actually took 2 different dies from Nestabilites and layered them with some foam tape. I used a bit of silk ribbon (available by the yard at the physical store) and I stamped my deer in Memento Rich Cocoa ink on my favorite cardstock for Copics. Next, I took my Copic markers and colored him in. I cut around my deer, and mounted him on the labels. Last, I stamped the sentiment on the embossed dot cardstock again, and rounded two of the corners.
Two great companies - love the choices and the new discounts, Lisa!
