Sneak Peak Sale-A-Bration-Friendly Hello

Here is another amazing set coming in January as part of Sale-A-Brations 2022! This is a set and paper combo and can be yours free with a $100 purchase beginning January 4, 2022.

Both of today’s cards began with a Pool Party card base. In this first card, I stamped the greeting directly onto the DSP.

Sale-A-Bration Friendly Hello

For our second card features the Friendly Hello Stamp set but instead of using designer series paper, I created my own stamped background.

Circle Fun with Textures and Frames

For every $50 you spend, earn a free set, pack of paper or die set. A free download of the SAB catalog is available on the side bar of this post, or if you are going mobile, it will most likely appear after the end of this post.

I guess you could say watching the Summer Olympics inspired this card. While these are not Olympic colors, I used four of the five new in-colors, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent. I began with a Basic White card and added a layer of Polished Pink, followed by a 3 3/4 x 5 layer of white where I stamped the circles from the Textures and Frame set.

Cutting Measurements

All Measurement=inches  CS=Cardstock DSP=Designer Series Paper  Landscape Position=Long side   Portrait Position=short side

Supplies

  • Basic White Cardstock – 5½ x 8½, 3¾ x 5, 2 x 3
  • Polished Pink Cardstock -4 x 5¼, ½ x 5¼
  • Textures and Frames ( Sale-a-bration Set)
  • Peaceful Moments
  • Fresh Freesia Ink
  • Pale Papaya Ink
  • Polished Pink Ink
  • Soft Succulent Ink
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive/ Liquid Glue

Then hardest part of this card will be cleaning your circle stamp in between colors. LOL The greeting is stamped in Soft Succulent and punched out with the Tailored Tag punch. TIP: The Shammy 147042 $8) cleans these stamps beautifully. Be sure you begin with a clean shammy. I hope you are crating and enjoying the Olympic games!

Art Gallery-Thinking of You Flowers

If you are like me then you love looking at the catalog for all the amazing card designs. Today my card, created with my crafting friend this past weekend, was CASED from the January – June catalog. If you are not familiar with the term CASE, it is what we crafters lovingly refer to as Copy And Share Everything.

While this card was not copied exactly, it is close. We used the Art Gallery Bundle. See if you can spot the difference.

Cutting Measurements

All Measurement=inches  CS=Cardstock DSP=Designer Series Paper  Landscape Position=Long side   Portrait Position=short side

Supplies

  • Basic White Cardstock- 5½ x 8½ (card base), 1×3, 4¼ x 5
  • Highland Heather Cardstock- 4 x 5¼
  • Highland Heather Ink
  • Gorgeous Grape Ink
  • Granny Apple Green Ink
  • Art Gallery Bundle
  • Parisian Flourish 3-D Embossing Folder
  • Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine
  • Stampin’ Seal Adhesive or Liquid Glue

Directions

  • Score Basic White cardstock in landscape position at 4¼.  Fold & burnish to create card base.
  • Use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to dry emboss the Highland Heather cardstock using the Parisian Flourish folder and attach to card front.
  • On the larger white panel stamp the floral images in Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Granny Apple Green and use the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine to cut out images with coordinating dies.
  • Layer the images along the right side of the card front.
  • Stamp the greeting in Gorgeous Grape ink on small white panel and cut out with die from bundle. Layer greeting across the floral images as shown.

I think the designers at Stampin’ Up! are amazingly talented, so of course I don’t have any problem copying them. After all the highest compliment is when someone copies your crafting right? When copying, always give credit where credit is due. Happy Crafting and Happy Casing!

Thanks for stopping by!
