I’m continuing with countdown to the end of Sale-A-Bration. Today I’m sharing with you a cute card using the Flowering Fields stamp set. I think it is probably my favorite from this years Sale-A-Bration collection. At least its been the one I’ve used the most. And it coordinates with the Wildflower Fields Designer Series Paper I used in yesterdays project. I love all the different flowers and being able to color them either with Stampin’ Write Markers or with an Aqua Painter like I did for this card.
Since the flowers are pretty delicate with not much coloring needed I was able to use just plain Whisper White card stock with my Aquapainter for the watercoloring. I used both the Tangelo Twist and the Hello Honey on the flowers.
My Stamper’s Club made this card this month and everyone was able to choose the word they wanted to use. The Expressions Natural Elements include three different 3D greetings – Congrats, Thanks and Celebrate. These wood veneer words are really fun to use and I just put them on my card with glue dots.
Don’t forget to decorate the inside of your card too:
And your envelope too!

Today I have the Party Pants stamp set. It’s a Limited Time set that came out in mid February as a supplement to the original Sale-A-Bration offering. It coordinates with the Balloon Bouquet Punch from the Occasions Catalog. Here is the cute card I made with it this weekend.
I used a sponge dauber to color the dots that were embossed with the Large Polka Dot Embossing Folder.
The balloons were stamped with Hello Honey – some are full strength and some are stamped off. I added the little confetti stamp on each balloon. You can’t really see it on the photo but I did put a little clear Wink of Stella on each of those dots. The balloons are tied with Linen Thread and floating through the clouds!
You need to spend $50 in product to get the Party Pants stamp set for free – for this card here is one idea – order the two punches, the embossing folder, sponge daubers, and Linen Thread – that’s $53 and you can choose the Party Pants stamp set as your freebie.
Don’t forget the Starter Kit offer – if you have a long wish list get the $99 starter kit and choose $155 in product.

Have you seen the new Sale-A-Bration products that were released in February? My favorite one is the Pedal Pusher stamp set. An adorable tandem bicycle with accessories to dress it up. Add a basket and fill it with flowers, bread & wine, or hearts. Add a flag and some cute little birds. Plus it has several cute little greetings with it. Here is a quick card that I created with it showing off the 2014-2016 In Colors which will soon be retiring!
The card base is Hello Honey and I die cut a large white circle with my Circle Collection Framelits. I stamped the bicycle on the circle, added the basket and some flowers and colored those in with the 2014-2016 Stampin’ Write Markers.
I used the 2014-2016 Washi Tape to add two strips across the bottom of the circle and stamped my greeting on a strip of Whisper White card stock – flag the ends with the little banner punch and add to the card with some dimensionals. I finished the card with some Linen Thread.
I want to remind everyone that you need to go ahead and order your ink refills for the 2014-2016 Stampin’ Up! In-colors. Also card stock, markers and any of the other coordinating products before they sell out. They will soon be retiring and these items tend to sell out quickly! My favorites are Hello Honey and Lost Lagoon.
Here is a full list of everything I used on this card:
Did you see the Party Pop-Up Thinlits Dies in the Occasions Catalog? They are on page 7. You can use the dies to make a pop up card or trim the pop-up shape to use as a fun element on a card front, scrapbook page or other project. For this card I did both – the Hip Hip Hooray! pops up on the inside and the Happy Birthday element was added to the front.
I got this card idea from one I found on Pinterest – it’s the best source for ideas and inspiration. Another fun element is the black dots – those are actually the White Perfect Accents colored with a Black Sharpie Marker. It adds a fun touch to this birthday card.
Here is a peek at the inside.
There is one change I would make to this card – I’d add a Bermuda Bay card stock layer on the inside of the card so it would show behind the pop-up. With the white behind it it just doesn’t pop enough. But I already had mine all glued down before I thought of that. The next one I make will have that.
You can purchase the Party Pop-Up Thinlits Dies and the Party with Cake stamp set as a Bundle and save 15%. I’ve been using them a lot right now to make birthday cards. I’m starting a birthday club in March – if you would like to be part of it and receive a real hand-made card from me in the mail – then email me with your birthday and mailing address and I will add you to my list.
here is a video from my Stamper’s Club meeting where I show them how to use the thinlits and make this card. I didn’t do any editing on the video – I think it turned out ok. I’m working towards posting more videos and to start editing them too. It’s a start.
Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll try to be back soon.
This card idea is actually very versatile and I’ve seen several of these online and in some swaps that I’ve received. It is a great idea for using up scraps of your Designer Paper. Pick your paper, coordinating card stock, a greeting and a fun little element to add as an accent. You could use this for all different occasions.
I created this one with the Love Blossoms Designer Paper Stack and Bloomin’ Love stamp set.
Use the 1″ Square Punch to punch out squares from the various patterns in the Designer Paper stack. Arrange in a grid on a piece of coordinating card stock. Add a greeting punched with the Decorative Label (or other) punch.
Here is another one that is a Thank You card:
This one uses the Pretty Petals paper stack from the annual catalog and the Endless Thanks stamp set. The flowers in the stamp set coordinate with the patterns in the paper.
I think next I’m going to create a birthday card in this same design. What kind of card do you want to make with your paper scraps?
