Jan 30, 2012 | Cards, Occasions Mini 2012, Sale-A-Bration 2012, Thank You |
One of the stamp sets that all the Leadership Attendees received was called Mixed Bunch. I used it to create this card.
I wanted to use the little butterfly brads that are in the Brad Pack that you can get free during Sale-A-Bration. There are five different brad designs in the pack and my favorite are the little Soft Suede butterflies. This card has a Soft Suede card base and then a Crumb Cake layer. On this layer I stamped the flower images from the Mixed Bunch stamp set and the small medallion. I also used the splatter from the French Foliage stamp set. everything was stamped in Soft Suede ink. The flowers were colored in with a Crumb Cake Stampin’ Write Marker. I added the butterfly brads to the center of each flower. On one flower I added a Jewelry Tag with the “thanks so much” from Tiny Tags stamp set. And finished the front panel with a piece of Very Vanilla Seam Binding that I tied in a bow.
I’ll be back tomorrow.
Jan 20, 2012 | Big Shot, Designer Series Paper, Sale-A-Bration 2012, Stampin' Up! Events |
I made up some quick treats to give to my long distance friends that I will see at Leadership. Through Stampin’ Up! I have been able to meet people from all over the US, Canada and other parts of the world – so I have friends in lots of places. Most of them I may get to see only once a year at a Stampin’ Up! event, but we get to email each other and stay in touch through blogs, yahoo groups and facebook when we don’t get to see each other. So I wanted to have something to give to some of my friends so I made up a few of these.
I used some of my Sale-A-Bration accessories for this one. I wanted to create something to wrap around these cereal bars. I used the largest label from the Labels Collection Framelits Dies to cut a piece of Everyday Enchantment Designer series paper. I used the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch to punch a Very Vanilla flower – which I embossed with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions folder (you can’t see that in the photo but it’s there. Then I punched the solid flower with a coordinating card stock for the paper – either Lucky Limeade or Calypso Coral. In the center of the flower is one of the Everyday Enchantment brads and I also tied a piece of the Organdy Ribbon around each flower. During Sale-A-Bration you can get all of these for free – Designer paper, the brad and ribbon pack and also the stamp set that coordinates with these – you can get all three for free as a hostess bundle option with a $400 workshop or choose one for each $50 that you spend. Sale-A-Bration starts on Jan. 24th and runs through the end of March.
I hope my friends like these little treats.
