Hello Fellow Stampers ~~
Well, we're only three weeks behind now -- LOL 😁😁😁
The regular Pals Blog Hop took place on January 10th (the 2nd Wednesday of the month as usual). Unfortunately, I was still not back in the saddle so to speak around here. We're making progress; and lots of fun and creativity is happening at the work table these days!!
This month's Blog Hop theme was "Sale-a-Bration" which is perfect timing for me as I am getting ready for my "Week of Sale-a-Bration" fun with all of you next week!! I hope you'll be looking forward to seeing fun and creative ideas to play with all your Sale-a-Bration goodies!!
There are so many pretty products in the Sale-a-Bration brochure this year, it's hard to know which one to pick first. I'm going to start with one that is very popular among my customer base, the Flight & Airy 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. This pretty paper screams Spring to me, and has lots of fabulous designs, making it easy to create with.
I love the "book binding" fold for its ease to make, and the unique style of card it creates. This card is cut from Misty Moonlight card stock, 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4", and then again at 5". Then you glue down the section between the 4-1/4" and 5" score lines to create the "book binding" fold.
I used Boho Blue cardstock as my "pop" coordinating color, using a strip on the "book binding", that I embossed with the Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder by simply laying the strip strategically between the larger embossed hearts in the folder, so that I would get only the small heart pattern.
The main front section of the card has a Boho Blue mat panel backing a pretty piece of Flight & Airy designer paper; this is overlaid with a piece of Vellum to soften the background.
Flight & Airy has a wonderful pattern in it that is various "larger" birds that are easy peasy to fussy cut out. Here is one of them that I fussy cut, then "sat" on a die cut leaf vine that you'll find in the Hooray for Surprises Dies. I used Boho Blue paper from the 2023-2025 In Color Luster Specialty paper which gives the leaves a lovely shimmer and luster.
Mister Bird is popped with dimensionals on a background heart that was cut from a piece out of the Holographic Trio Specialty paper, using another fabulous die out of the Hooray for Surprises Dies. I really love this heart with the dotted swiss holes in it.
The fussy cut sentiment is from the Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Softly Sophisticated, (one of the $100 level sets in the brochure) and is also popped with dimensionals, and tucked at Mister Bird's feet.
The card is finished off with a Orchid Oasis Baker's Twine bow, some die cut trio hearts from the Adoring Hearts Dies, and a few Iridescent Pearls Basic Jewels to finish off what is to emulate the "love song" this little bird is singing.
