  • Sale-a-Bration KickOff Cards–Sweet Sorbet, Banners, & More

    You may have noticed that earlier this week, was the start of Stampin’ Up’s big spring promotion – Sale-a-Bration.  It is a really fun promotion that basically gets you free stuff no matter what you do!  You can

    So yeah, basically everyone wins!

    Anyway, I always like to throw a party when a new catalog comes out and at the beginning of Sale-a-bration.  It is a great excuse to hang out with friends, share samples I go at recent events, let everyone see and try out a TON of new products from the Occasions and Sale-a-bration catalogs, and STAMP!  (what kind of party would it be if there was no stamping? Winking smile )

    Wanna see what we made?  Here you go!

    This was the first card we made and inspired loosely by a card I saw from a German demonstrator named Ines.

    I’ll admit, when I saw Petal Parade in the Sale-a-bration catalog it looked a little boring to me, but let me just say I have been having a blast playing with it and think it may be my favorite stamp set from SAB!  Plus, got to add in that little detail with the cork and the twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessories bundle.

    Stampin’ Up Supplies Used
    Stamps – Petal Parade (SAB), Perfect Pennants
    Ink – Summer Starfruit, Baked Brown Sugar, Pool Party, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Canteloupe
    Paper – Whisper White, Baked Brown Sugar, Pool Party
    Accessories – Sweet Sorbet Accessories – Crisp Canteloupe twine & cork stickers (SAB)

    I also really wanted to use the Banner Blast stamp set and Banner punch and so we made this card:

    This card is a more direct CASE from my friend and look-alike, Julie Davison.  I made a few adjustments like changing up the sentiment, making it a standard size card, and using the Decorative Dots embossing folder for the starfruit trim.

    So cute, huh?!

  • Fringed and Fabulous Birthday Card

    Today, the design team over at Stylin’ Scrappin’ Inkspiration decided to do a post sharing ideas using the upcoming Sale-a-Bration items (if you have no idea what that means, Stampin’ Up has a promotion every spring – this time starting January 28th – where for every $50 you order, you can pick any item in this special catalog to get free with your order; which is what we are playing with today!)  And since I wanted to play along, I dug through my limited stash of Sale-a-Bration goodies to come up with a fun project to share. 

    So today I have another “Little bit of this and that” style card to share –

    It all started with the pair of fringe scissors on my desk and a vision of this super duper great fringed card that my downline, Stacey shared in our team facebook page.  I took the inspiration of layered fringing and started grabbing what was lying around on my desk. 

    This included a card base that got ink and spots on it at a recent card class:

    And the plan to use my fringes to cover it up… because darn it… it is still a totally usable card base!

    So, I grabbed some scrap paper and started cutting and layering.

    Then I needed something for the top – so Washi to the rescue!  Yup, I used the Gold washi tape and the Gingham Garden washi tape.  Mix and match away!

    Where is the Sale-a-Bration stuff you ask?

    All in the top of the card!

    First up, the super cute sentiment from a new See Ya Later stamp set (and yes, it has a sentiment that says “See Ya Later, Alligator”!  I had to color it in with markers because, well, I just did.

    And then see that flower and those diamonds?  More SAB goodies!

    These are the Sweet Sorbet self-adhesive cork embellishments.  I will warn you – this isn’t your kiddos adhesive.  I stuck one of those diamonds down and when I decided I wanted to move it, it was NOT going anywhere!  I had to carefully slice it out of my card using scissors to get it to move.  So, word to the wise, they are great embellishments, just make sure you have it where you think you want it before pushing it down.
