Farewell Sale-A-Bration - Flowering Fields


Breaking the Number of Years Bundle Series, I'm saying good-bye to Sale-A-Bration. Today is the last day to order and get free items from Sale-A-Bration for every $60 you spend. And don't forget to check the Clearance and Weekly Deals when ordering!

One of my favorite Sale-A-Bration items is the "Flowering Fields" stamp set which I used to create  a quick Easter card with. I didn't post it for Easter because I was saving it for today's farewell to Sale-A-Bration. I also used Sale-A-Bration's "Wildflower Fields" DSP.

I used Archival Basic Gray to stamp the image and my Aqua Painters to colour in the flowers.


Just one popped up layer, as you can see in the image below.


You will note that I used last year's stamp set for the sentiments. The only other Easter sentiment I have, that is current, was to small to use on this card, so I had to go to my retired sets. I love how the inside turned out!


If you don't have this set yet and would like to have it, today is the last day you can get it (with a $60 order). Below are links to the two Sale-A-Bration brochures.






Below is a list of product I used to make this card with.

Thank you for checking in today and hope that will have some time today to do a little stamping and creating!

VanIsle Stampin' Up! Meet & Share - Card Exchange

Attending a VanIsle Stampin' Up Meeting today and participating in a Birthday Card Exchange. Only current things are to be used in the making of this card, but I forgot that this Lost Lagoon ribbon is no longer available. I found out after making them and ran out not having enough to make a bow for all of the cards. So I immediately went to put it onto my next order, and that's when I learned they were all out and it was no longer available. I love this ribbon and colour! What to do? I used Silver Metal buttons on the last three cards.


The next photo shows you a closer look with a single card. The DSP is a Sale-A-Bration special which will end this month. So if you like this paper, or want to get more, you can get it for free with a $60 order before March 31.


I opted to used the flowers from the "Number of Years" stamp set rather than the flowers of the Flowering Fields set because it is solid stamp and not just the floral outline. But, I used the same colours and in the DSP (see below in the materials used).


The above side view shows only one popped up layer. And below you see the inside.


When I return form my meeting, in the next day or so, I'll share with you the cards that I received at the exchange.

Happy Stamping everyone!

Freshly Made Sketches #227 - Flowering Fields




More bright colours from me today, using the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge # 227, in Tempting
Turquoise and Daffodil Delight. I love the Sale-A-Bration stamp set "Flowering Fields". It is only available till the end of this month, and is free with a $60.00 order.

Instead of using my stamp pads for the flowers, I used my Stampin' Write Markers so that I could use multiple colours and just stamp once for each flower.

You can see in the sketch to the right that we can use any shape in the bottom right corner. I chose these punch ovals.




Does that foreground oval look crocked to you? Now that I see it in this photo, it looks so to me.



In the close up you can better see the stamping and colouring of the flowers.


The side view shows that I used one layer of dimensionals for the background oval, and two layers of dimensionals for the oval in the foreground.


I had to stamp a little something on the inside of the card too.


You can check out what I used in the making of this card, below. I encourage you to have some fun stamping using your Stampin' Write Markers. It's great fun! Oh and check out the design inspiration and the creations of the participants! There's some wonderful ideas and creations!

Happy Stamping!
