These are great deals because they rarely go on sale. This is the perfect opportunity to stock up on the items you use most, and a great chance to grab the bundles that have been on your list. I used this sale opportunity to snag the Loveliest Tree Bundle, and it's been on my list since the catalog came out in May. Yay, me!
One of my favorite sale bundles, though, is the Labeled with Love Bundle...for a couple of reasons. First, you have a choice! You can either purchase the bundle with dies (3 are included!) or purchase it with a punch.
Both have its advantages. The dies allow you to cut three at once, which is a time-saver and allows for getting the shape further into the card, like the sample below.
The punch allows for quick and easy punching, whether punching out the frame from the stamp set or just punching shapes to put on your project. Punching lots quickly is the best when making multiples of the same card.
Several weeks ago I made a card using this punch bundle during What's Up! Stampers on my Facebook page. I used an exclusive Designer Series Paper that was only available for demonstrators to earn. I punched three of the shapes out of the Designer Series Paper, then cut them in half. I was going to use them as strips, but since they're too short to fit under my focal piece of Basic White, I cut them in half then spread them apart, giving the illusion that the shapes are longer than they actually are.
I stamped the focal piece with the butterflies from the Labeled with Love stamp set, then added the sentiment using Stampin' Dimensionals, along with a fussy cut butterfly that I think adds a lot to the card. After brushing on some Wink of Stella, you can imagine how beautiful the butterflies looked! Add some Pretty in Pink Shimmer Gems and some twine for a perfect finish. Fun card with one of our SALE bundles, right??
Grab the sale items while you can because they are available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST! You can shop the sale by heading to my online store.
Happy shopping!
