If one of the Sale-A-Bration items is on your wish list, be sure to order today so that you don't miss out! 

All of the cards I have to share with you today use one (or more!) Sale-A-Bration items.

Here, I used it with the Sending You Thoughts stamp set, also FREE with a $50 order. The greeting is mounted on paper cut with the Stitched So Sweetly dies.

Scrappy Strips

Since Bruno Bertucci introduced his scrappy strip technique a couple of weeks ago, the Stampin' Up! world has been crazy about scrappy strips, even Sara's (Stampin' Up!'s CEO) husband got in on the trend last week. So, I decided I'd better try it too. I combined the Country Club DSP with the Well Dressed stamp set (Sale-A-Bration Freebie!) and the Dinoroar DSP (currently FREE with a $50 order!) with the Dino Days stamp set. 

This technique is quick and easy! Start by cutting strips of DSP that are at least 4 1/2" long. You could cut them straight, but it's fun to cut the strips at an angle. Then, cut a piece of coordinating cardstock to be 3 3/4" x 5". Glue the strips to the cardstock leaving a thin gap between each strip. Go ahead and let the ends hang off your cardstock. After all of the strips have been attached and your glue has dried if you're using liquid adhesive, turn the cardstock over and trim the edges of the DSP strips to match the edges of the cardstock. Finally, adhered DSP covered cardstock to a 3 15/16" x 5 3/16" piece of cardstock in the same color and adhere it to your card front.

Once your background is finished, you can finish the card however you want. It can be as simple as adding a sentiment or you can add an image. I didn't have any large sentiments, so I chose to use an image as well. It's a quick and easy way to make multiple cards!

  • Night of Navy: 5 3/16" x 3 15/16", 5" x 3 3/4", 1 5/8" x 11/16"'

Tips: I stamped the tie with Poppy Parade ink on the piece of Whisper White cardstock that I had cut with the Stitched Rectangle die. Then, I stamped it again with Night of Navy ink on a scrap of Whisper White. I cut out the shirt color and adhered it over the Poppy Parade tie using mini dimensionals. The sentiment is also attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, I added a small blue rhinestone to mimic a tie clip.

Tips: To attach the Silver Metallic Thread, I put Stampin' Dimensionals on the back of the sentiment and peal the backs off. Then, I wrap the thread around 3 of my fingers 3 times. I slide it off, twist it and attach the twisted center area to one of the Stampin' Dimensionals. Then I attach the sentiment to the card front.

From Simple to Oh là là! Thoghtful Blooms

3/20/2020

Spring has sprung! Even though it doesn't feel like it yet here in Michigan. To celebrate, I made three cards using the Thoughtful Blooms Sale-A-Bration stamp set. From Simple using only stamps, inks, and paper, to Chic using punches and ribbon, all the way to Oh là là adding the Stitched So Sweetly dies. All of the cards use cardstock in Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, and Whisper White as well as Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, and So Saffron ink. 
Picture
Simple
This first card is what is often called Simple Stamping or a SIP card because all you need to complete it are stamps, ink, and paper. In addition to the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set, I used the Varied Vases stamp set for the greeting. I cut out a couple of the flowers and layered them. 
Cardstock:
Whisper White: 3 3/4" x 5"
Calypso Coral: 3 15/16" x 5 3/16"
​Petal Pink: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded in half
Chic
This second card uses a few more products including the Label Me Fancy punch and the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding. This punch is great because it includes the label as well as a small hole and a slot punch to make the holes in the label. The seam binding is wonderful to work with and easy to tie.
Cardstock:
Whisper White: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", plus scraps
Calypso Coral: 3 11/16" x 4 15/16", 1 3/8" x 3 11/16"
Petal Pink: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded in half

Oh là là
The last card steps up the design even further and uses the Stitched So Sweetly dies and the Layering Circle dies. I love the Stitched So Sweetly dies because they have fun shapes and a beautiful stitched edging that gives the die cuts a finished appearance.
Cardstock:
Whisper White: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", plus scraps
Calypso Coral: 3 11/16" x 4 15/16", plus scraps
Petal Pink: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded in half, plus scraps
