SheetLoad has teamed up with Caardvarks this week for an exciting cross promotion. Using ShortCuts products and the July Sketch at SheetLoad, the lovely ladies over at Caardvarks are making some amazing projects. You can take a look at their gallery here.
I have some of the awesome products from ShortCuts. If you haven’t had a chance to check these out you must. I love them. The clear cards are my favorite. You can play and play and never leave a fingerprint, which makes your cards so easy to do.
Here’s my take on the July sketch. I used one of the fabulous digital images from Squigglefly, and a Shortcuts transparent card base!

Make sure to stop by Caardvarks’ “ShortCuts Gallery” for tons of inspiration and eye candy.
If you would like to purchase ShortCuts products for yourself, there are lots of ways to save this week.

A bit about Caardvarks, in their own words…
Caardvarks is all about making cards and having fun doing it. We know many scrapbookers who have zero confidence in their card-making skills. Caardvarks is always there, offering up themes to give them a starting point. We host card challenges on the 5th and 20th of each month. We’ve been doing it for over two years! If you keep an eye on the blog, you’ll see that we occasionally throw in a micro challenge (24 hour down & dirty challenge) as well as celebrity and reader spotlights. There is always a prize up for grabs and fun to be had!
Make sure to head on over to their new challenge post to find out how you can play along and win ShortCuts goodies!!

Hello my friends! WOW! It’s July already! I can’t believe how quickly the summer is flying by! The July issue of Sheetload of cards is now ready for FREE download here!

This month’s issue is sponsored by Squigglefly!
If you haven’t tried digital images, you MUST! There are so many advantages to digi over rubbah! Don’t get me wrong…I will probably always want rubber or acrylic stamps, but the idea of digital is so exciting! You can resize the images, rotate them, etc., and print them out, and colour them just the same way you would with a rubber stamped image! AND, you could win some FREE digital images from Squigglefly, just by showing US your Sheetload! Click here for details!

Sheetload of Cards has added a new monthly feature to their already fabulous e-zine! It’s called “Simple, Special, Stunning”! The idea is to show you how you can take your cards from simple, to special, to stunning with just a few simple steps! Each month, one of the Sheetload of Cards’ artists will show you how you can transform your card creations! In other words, this new feature has been added to show you how each issue of SheetLoad can be adapted for papercrafters of all levels. Whether it is sticking exactly to the sketch, or adding some extra bling.
This month, the Founder of Sheetload of Cards, Alicia, has shown us how to take one layout, one stamp (Anya from The Greeting Farm! My personal fave!), and make 3 cards for 3 different levels of papercrafters. Check it out here! And, to make it worth your while, Alicia is offering you a discount on the fabulous Shortcuts products! Just click on over now to find out the deets.
That’s all for now. I will have some exciting news to share soon, though, so do check back!
