Hi Stampers, I have lots to share with you today new card, draw winners, and blog candy!, whoo hoo….I love exciting days like this. Lets start with the card, I used one of the stamp sets you can receive for free with a $50. or more purchase, called KINDNESS MATTERS, LOVE this stamp set and I love going "vintage" with it, and today is no exception, tee hee…. I was reading a magazine yesterday and I saw this layout and thought wow, that would work awesome with that stamp set!.
and I don't know if you will recognize the Designer paper? It's the Everyday Enchantment, also available for free with a $50. or more purchase! Of course, I have it slathered in Soft Suede Ink, Gold Embossing powder, and I have overstamped it with the EnFrance background stamp, and some of the stamps from the FRENCH FOLIAGE Stamp set.
I embossed the butterflies in Black, then I colored them with my Pool Party Marker, then I covered them with Crystal Effects, so they really POP off the card
SO – On to my Winner from January – CORGI CLUB – Shopping Incentive Draw – the winner gets!

O ya – luv this one !!!!
Love your card today. I qualified for 3 SAB's that are arriving tomorrow. I can't wait to play with the Fresh Vintage Stamp set–it is just so my style–love anything floral.
I like the Elementary Elegance Stamp set
Sandi,
My favorite SAB item is hard to identify since I love all of them. But, if I have to choose, I will pick the Everyday Enchantment DSP since I am drawn to the vintage look for most of my cards. I feel that the colors which go with the new "in colors" produce a great option to all of the other items/stamp sets in the SAB this year. Great product! Thanks for is wonderful opportunity to win a set of your beautiful cards. Linda
Oooh, I have a couple of favorites. The Sprinkled Expressions set, Fresh Vintage set and the Outlined Occasions set. Hard to choose just one! The Sprinkled Expressions set I love because it would make awesome gift tags throughout the year. Fresh Vintage set, well, really, is there any explanation necessary?! And the Outlined Occasions I like for its sweet whimsy. It adds a whole new, fresh flair to cards. Thanks for the chance to win!
Nice card. Love your Apothecard Art cards also. My favorite set is "Elementary Elegance".
I love "Language of Friendship" stamp set 'cuz I love birds and flowers almost equally. Thanks for this opportunity to get some of your beautiful cards!
Love your finished cards. I would love to win them! I love everything in the Mini, my fave would be the Twitterpated DSP.
My FAVORITE FREE ITEM is the Enchantment DSP. Love the vintage look to it.
My favorite set is Fresh Vintage.It looks like a very versatile set. Do love the Apothecary set in the Mini!
My favorite SAB item is the Sprinkled Expressions Stamp set, I've seen so many cute cards made with this set!
My favorite SAB item is Fresh Vintage (is that an oxymoron?)…and the dsp that goes with it. And I would LOVE to have even just one of your gorgeous cards!
Sandi, what a beautiful card! I love all your creations!! Would you mind sharing how you did the sprinkles of gold embossing? So pretty!
I 'm in Canada but will answer your question anyway, my fave SAB free item has to be the Everyday Enchantment paper…love it!
Hugs -Judy
Oh my! how to choose a favorite? I love the Everyday Enchantment DSP. It is not my "usual" style, but I sure am having fun with it. And I love the embossing folders, and the Kindness Matters stamp set. Come to think of it….I love EVERYTHING! thanks for the chance to win!
I'd love to win these beautiful cards. My favorite item from the SAB catalog is the Fresh Vintage stamp set. Hoping to get it soon. Thanks for a chance to win.

My favorite item for the Sale-A-Bration would have be the Outlines Occasions stamp set – or – the DSP – or . . . I love it all!
Wow! This is fabulous! The butterflies look like real specimines…wonderful!
I'd love to have your cards. I admire your work so much! My favorite item(s) are the Very Vintage stamps set and the Everyday Enchantment DSP because I really love vintage themed cards. I just got my order today so I haven't had a chance to play yet. :(
My favorite of the sale-a-bration free products is the designer paper. I think it is awsome!
The Everyday Enchantment DSP is my absolute Fav SAB free item because of the colors and the small print patterns. I don't think I will ever tire of the different combinations and results I will get this usinjg this DSP. I would LOVE to win your Apothecary Arts Class cards, esp since I wasn't able to do your class this time. Your cards are always the BEST!
It will be hard to decide between Fresh Vintage or Outline Occasions. I just received both today and I can see using both of them a lot. If I just had to pick one, I will go with Fresh Vintage.
I think Everyday Enchantment, as I already own, have used and love "Kindness Matters." Kindness Matters is perfect for 3 x 3" thank you cards. I have used it as much as any of my bigger stamp sets since I got it several months ago. Everyday Enchantment seems like it will also be great for 3 x 3" cards, which is what I use for customer thank-yous with each order.
My favorite item in the Sale-a-bration catalog is the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set. Thank you for a chance to win your beautiful cards.
Love your cards!! I love SAB too!!! Free stuff?!?!? Who wouldn't love that!!! Hard to pick only one fave but if I had to pick I would choose Everyday Enchantment DSP. I love the style and the colors. It's simply beautiful!
Love the card. hope to be able to get that set with my next order. I love checkingout your blog and getting inspired. Thanks for that. Am a fellow demo as a hobbist. I lvoe the Everday Enchantment Ribbon and brads. They are just SOOOOO cute!!! Keep up the great work!!
Your cards are just lovely, Sandi!!! There are so many things in the sale-a-bration catalog that caught my eye. I really love the vintage look that is out there these days. I would say my most favorite is the Design Frames Textured Embossing Folder. Because you can use it for vintage cards and then turn around and use it on other cards.
I simply love the Everyday Enchantment DSP. All of the patterns are so beautiful. Your Apothecary Arts Class cards is one of the reasons I want that stamp set. Your cards are amazing and beautiful.
Hiya
My fav is Fresh Vintage Stamp set. If I had my way, I would have one of everything.!
Sharon and Tessa
Sandi
Just so you know I would rather have the cards you have made. They are so special.
S and T
Thanks for sharing your fabulous projects ! I love looking at your blog. My favorite in the SAB catalog is the Elementary Elegance stamp set. The punch that fits inside is my favorite punch to put the sayings on ~ so this is a fun set for me !
Thanks, again,
Cindy
I positively LOVE the Everyday Enchantment DSP. I think it is my favorite SU DSP of all time – so far. Love all the cards, etc. that you do. Sorry I live half-way across the country and can't come to your classes!!!! lc
I love the apothecary cards you have designed. I would love to win them… yes!!! My fav from the sale-a-bration isKindness Matter s and I hope to try your embossed idea w/pool ink – beautiful.
Love your cards and as others have said it is so hard to pick a favorite from the Sale-a-bration catalog because everything is so nice but i would probably pick the paper it is really nice.
beautiful cards as always. From the Sale a Bration I like the Language of Friendship set
Hi Sandi, I just wanted to tell you tha I just admire all of your paper arts. My favorite would have to be the Everyday Enchantment DSP. I belong to an organization that has what is known as Card Angels. This smply means that I send cards and letters to a person assigned to me that is suffering from cancer. We are required to send at least two cards/letters per week. Your cards are so beautiful. They would be so perfect for me to send along to someone who needs more of a lift and some happiness in life than I can even imagine. Thank you Sandi for all you do for the papercrafting world.
My answer is Easy Sandi.
The Fresh vintage Hostess Bundle of course!!! Makes it very easy for a new paper crafter to put together many items that will all look great. The stamp set, Papers, and ribbon/brads are all color coordinated so everything will match.
Thanks for a chance to win. Keep on inspiring me and Darrel Sandi!
Okies Sandi – I'm typing for Darrel (Alzheimer's).
He says that his favorite item is the Everyday Elegance Simply Sent Card kit. he said that it's easy to add some stamping or an embellishment and makes nice cards when you need one quickly. OH – He just said that he really likes the cut out scallops on the edge of the card. Lol.
BTW- Darrel says "Hi" and he's still creating from your tuts Sandi.
LOVELY as ALWAYS! My favorite SAB item is the Enchantment DSP and the ribbon and brad pack…
I love the Everyday Enchantment DSP. I think it's very versitle & so colorful! It looks so beautiful w/ the new Apothecary stamp set & the new Framlits. Love them all!!
