SAS4Kids: June "Jems"

Hello, fellow crafty friends!  

June's gallery showcased a wonderful variety of cards, including some great cards for tweens and teens. Our thanks to everyone who played along with us last month and/or shipped cards for our SAS4kids kids. Thank you so very much!

Now, it's time for a few SAS4Kids shout-outs. Here are three cards that caught our DT's eyes.

#1 Deanne

Personally, cards for tween/teen boys are the most challenging for me. 
And Deanne's card is a perfect tween/teen boy card. Perfect!!!

#6 Leona B

Q: What do you get when you combine a humorous sentiment with amazing coloring?
A: Leona's fun fry-inspired card!!!
There's not a teen around that wouldn't get a chuckle from this clever card.

13. Maria Giselle

Maria Giselle's card is an absolute showstopper.
Her gorgeous background is equaled only by lots of amazing texture. 

Congratulations, ladies! Great job!!! Thanks for sharing your amazing talents with us.

SAS4Kids: Christmas in July 4 Kids

Happy Saturday, everyone! Here's wishing everyone here in The States a happy holiday weekend!   

This is the time of year that most everybody in my neighborhood is thinking of swimming pool parties, steamy beach reads, and summertime barbecues. But this is also the time of year when, here at SAS4Kids, our DT starts thinking about holiday cards. And, from the looks of things, quite of a few of us have Santa on our minds.

Here are a few cards holiday cards that would be perfect for our SAS4Kids kids.

SAS4Kids: May Marvels

Hi, everyone! Happy Saturday!

Great guy cards can be hard to come by... and that makes the Dad/Guy cards in our May gallery even more special. Card themes ranged from typical guy things like tools and guitars to... some unexpected fudgesicles. Yes, fudgesicles! How fun!

Here are three cards that caught the eyes of our Design Team gals.

1. Arlene R

Arlene's fun card has the two cutest fudge pops we've ever seen...
and we loved her clean, crisp CAS design. Great job. Arlene!

4. Epie

Epie's card is sure to get a Dad's engine revving on his special day.
We could almost feel the energy generated as this VW races down the road! 

5. Karen

This "Right Angles" stenciled background is fabulous...
and the bold palette is perfect for Karen's groovy card. Rock on!

Congratulations, ladies! Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with us.
