If you just want to take advantage of the deal, that’s fine and dandy.


Let’s see a cute card that I made with the fabulous “The Gang’s All Meer” stamp set that you can get for FREE with a $50 purchase. Seriously, this set is totes adorbs!

I started by stamping the cactus at the bottom of a 3-3/4″ by 5″ Whisper White Card Stock panel in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and coloring it with Light Lovely Lipstick, Light and Dark Mint Macaron, and Light Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. Then I embossed it with the Subtle Embossing Folder. I adhered a 1″ by 5″ strip of Petal Pink polka dot Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper and then adhered everything to a 4″ by 5-1/4″ Basic Black Card Stock mat. I wrapped a length of Whisper White 1/4″ Crinkled Seam Binding around and then adhered everything to a Crumb Cake Card Stock card base.


I cut a Whisper White Label with one of the Stitched Nested Label Dies and used my Stamparatus to position the sentiment perfectly. It’s stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used the same ink to stamp the cute meerkat onto Whisper White Card Stock. I colored him with Light and Dark Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends and then fussy cut him with my Paper Snips. I adhered the label to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals and the meerkat to the label with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.


To finish the card, I added three Petal Petal Pink Basic Adhesive-Backed Sequins. It was a breeze to use the Take Your Pick Tool to remove the sequins from their backing and apply them to the card just where I wanted. 


Have a wonderful weekend and I’ll see you again on Monday for another quick and easy card for Manic Monday!
