Hello Fellow Stampers ~
Happy Tuesday! We're kicking off our week of Sale-a-Bration fun here at DDS Studios. I'm finally getting a chance to pull out and ink up some of these fabulous stamp sets, and play with other products from Sale-a-Bration.
I've been itching to play with some of these fun products, especially the Watercolor Melon stamp set that's the focus of our creative fun today! I took inspiration from our catalog/brochure, and online, and came up with this lovely design.
The adorable Watercolor Melon stamp set is on page 4 of your Sale-a-Bration brochure (and there are some fun samples there to inspire you). The set is a 2-step stamp set and the images have lovely "variegation" to the stamping to give a realistic look. You can earn this set FREE with a minimum $50 USD order.
This card is cut from Thick Basic White cardstock, 4-1/4" x 11", scored at 5-1/2".
The background layer is comprised of Garden Green and a cute piece of Diagonal Gingham Plaid from the Glorious Gingham 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper.
The focal layer is matted with Garden Green again, and the Basic White has been embossed with another wonderful Sale-a-Bration product.
The Softly Sophisticated Bundle can be found on page 14 of your Sale-a-Bration brochure, and is one of our $100 level selections. For a regular order of $100, you can choose this stamp set and embossing folder bundle as one of your FREE products.
The Basic White layer on this card front was stamped with the sentiment from the stamp set in Pretty Peacock, and the layer was then embossed with the Softly Sophisticated 3D Embossing Folder. This is such a pretty embossing folder.
The layers are all put together as normal and attached to the front of the card base.
Then I cut a strip of Basic White that is 1-1/2" x 4-5/8", stamped the cute leaf image from Watercolor Melon in Parakeet Party, Garden Green, and just a little Pretty Peacock classic inks. The strip is wrapped with a piece of 1/8" Lemon Lime Twist ribbon, and attached on the left-hand side of the front panel.
The adorable watermelons are stamped out using Garden Green and re-stamped using Parakeet Party - you wouldn't believe how "authentic" this makes the watermelon rind look. The wedges are stamped in Sweet Sorbet, the rinds in Garden Green and Parakeet Party, and the seeds in Memento Tuxedo Black. Did you know the new Modern Oval Punch, will punch out your full-sized watermelon? Whoo hooo. The wedges are an easy peasy fussy cut!!
Everything here is popped with dimensionals and layered.
It's all finished off with a Lemon Lime Twist bow, and embellishments from the Petal Pink & Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems.
The stamping of the leaves from the front is echoed on the inside of the card . . .
And on the flap of the envelope! I also created this same look across the left-hand corner on the front of the envelope. "No Naked Envelopes" !!! LOL
