Hello Fellow Stampers ~
Oh My! While my car is in the shop getting some MUCH needed repairs, we are hanging out in the DDS Studio and doing all sorts of fun creative things; while the hubby works on a puzzle across the way in the TV/Library room. It's all VERY cozy -- LOL 😁😁
We're back today with another installment in my week of Sale-A-Bration fun, showcasing the different wonderful goodies you can earn with your minimum purchases during January and February Sale-A-Bration 2021!! Sale-A-Bration is the Best Time of the Year at Stampin' Up! With every $50 in product you order, you may pick a FREE Sale-A-Bration item from the Sale-A-Bration brochure!! I LOVE Sale-A-Bration!!
Today I'm showcasing Two (2) Sale-A-Bration stamp sets; one a fabulous sentiment set, and one an image set.
The Corner Bouquet stamp set is one I think is getting passed over as maybe "not interesting" or too simple or something along those lines. I'm not sure; but I do know this is a wonderful little stamp set, and one you should not miss. When paired with any sentiment, it makes for a wonderful and easy card design.
I have created two cards today using Corner Bouquet to showcase some options for you! Let's take a closer look at each card design.
I haven't made a "square" card in awhile; so I'm breaking the mold for a little bit and creating a finished 5" x 5" card for this design (cut your cardstock 5" x 10", score @ 5").
I tapped the gorgeous new Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Designer Acetate in Highland Heather, and backed it with some Daffodil Delight cardstock for a really pretty effect. I emulated those colors when I stamped the larger corner bouquet (using my Stamp-a-ratus). I colored each area of the stamp using Stampin' Write Markers (Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather and Daffodil Delight), then used the "huffing technique" to re-moisten all the inked areas and stamped the image. I love how this turns out!
I finished off with Clear Wink of Stella on the flowers, some fabulous new Pastel Pearls.
I also created one of my favorite "looped" bows in the new Gorgeous Grape 3/8" Sheer Ribbon.
This pretty card paired with the wonderful sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamp set, will make the perfect sympathy card right when you need it!
On the inside of the card, I stamped the corner bouquet again, in Smoky Slate, stamped off once first, to achieve a soft image that sits in the "background" so you can write your message right over it; and added the sentiment near the bottom from the same Heal Your Heart stamp set.
Here's an alternative that would make a great "masculine" thank you card.
This color combination in this design is soft and subtle - Early Espresso, Basic Black, Soft Suede, Gold Brushed Metallic, and Very Vanilla.
The measurements for the panels on this card are as follows:
Basic Black - 3-1/2" x 4-3/4"
Soft Suede - 3-3/8" x 4-5/8"
Gold Brushed Metallic - 2-5/8" x 4-1/8"
Very Vanilla - 2-1/2" x 4"
I also embossed the Soft Suede panel with the new Painted Textures 3D Embossing Folder; then overlaid a Square Vellum Doily for added extra texture and interest. This also allowed me to offset the top panel, which is popped with dimensionals.
In this design, I used the smaller corner bouquet image from the stamp set, stamped in Soft Suede and then embossed it with Clear embossing powder. I added the sentiment from the Heal Your Heart stamp set, and did the same thing. The whole thing was finished off with a combination of Matte Black Dots and Champagne Rhinestones.
It's a really nice little card!
I finished off the inside of this card very similarly to the other one, using Crumb Cake, stamped off once, for the bouquet.
Two fabulous options for these two stamp sets. Don't miss out -- you can earn both of these sets with a minimum $100 order.
We'll be back as we continue to play with Sale-A-Bration products!!
