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!

Botanical Blooms - Part 4

This is the last card to show you for this class. I love how this one turned out, and the big thing about it's success is the Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum. You must get this before it's gone forever! The light printed patterns, so add to any project you may undertake. I have two pads so that it will last me a while.


In real life you don't really see the glue dots that keeps the velum on the front of the background stamping. I guess the lighting for the photo makes you see it a little more. The large sentiment is a big favorite for many stampers, and I heat embossed in gold onto the vellum.


Here is a close up to see the gold heat embossing and the printed pattern on the vellum more easily.


From the side view you can see that the background stamped piece and the vellum are exactly the same size, adhered together, and then popped up onto the card base with dimensionals.


I always have to do a little something on the inside. I prefer it over a blank interior. Even just a sentiment is not enough to me.


Thank you so much for checking each day to follow the cards that will be a part of a May class. For those of you that can't attend the class, hope you were inspired by these four cards. Check in tomorrow to read the details of this up coming class.

REMINDER: In nine days Sale-A-Bration will be over, so be sure you have all your free product and maybe extra as gifts for your creative friends and family members!


Happy Stamping!

Botanical Blooms - Part 3

For card #3 the focus is on background stamping. This can be as simple, or as complicated as you like. What do I mean by that? Well, there are two ways to approach this. One is really just simple random stamping, and the other involves planning ahead and executing the plan. There is no right or wrong way to to do this. Approach it in the way that you love to do this, and you won't go wrong!


For the Calypso Coral flowers I off stamped first, and then stamped them onto the background. I wanted a lighter and softer version of this ink colour. For the blue (Marina Mist) I stamped the flower center three to four times to turn it into a blossom.


From the side view you will see that the only thing that is popped up with dimensionals is the black sentiment piece. This makes the card much easier to mail.


And a little stamping on the inside. Do you see those faded bits of colour here and there on the inside? I have no idea how they got there. The only thing I can think of is that I had bits of colour on my fingers and didn't realize it until I was putting the card together. Does that happen to you too?


Below you will find a product list of things used to make this card.  If you need anything, you can order online at my store, or contact me. Have fun with your background stamping!


REMINDER: In 10 days Sale-A-Bration will be over, so be sure you have all your free product and maybe extra as gifts for your creative friends and family members before these items are no longer available!


Happy Stamping!
