Sale-A-Bration 2013 Bloomin' Marvelous Card

Well, how quick did that arrive!  There I was doing a nice little countdown to Sale-A-Bration & look at that it is already here.  I have heaps of samples to show you so there will be quite a few more posts using these products.  It arrived a lot quicker than I could type up posts!

Today I thought I would show you a card I made using the Bloomin' Marvelous Stamp set available FREE during Sale-A-Bration to anyone who places a $100 order.

For a bit of added texture I used the Vine embossing folder which is another item available during Sale-A-Bration.  I also used the Petite Curly Label Punch, Sycamore Street DSP,  Button & Ribbon.. well yes, those too are all available exclusively during Sale-A-Bration.  With so many great things to choose from what will you choose?  

Oh and see those little butterflies, well they were made with the Bitty Butterfly Punch available in the new seasonal catalogue due to be released February 1st.  

Stamp Sets:  Bloomin Marvelous (SAB).
Paper:  Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Sahara Sand, Summer Starfruit, Pool Party, Sycamore Street DSP.

Ink:  Island Indigo, Summer Starfruit, Pool Party.

Cool Tools: Bitty Butterfly Punch ( Seasonal Catalogue), Glue Dots, Sale-A-Bration Tangerine Tango Ribbon & Button, Petite Curly Label Punch ( SAB)

Sale-A-Bration 2013 Countdown Week 2: Patterned Occasions Gift Card Holder

How cute is that little elephant! He is certainly my favourite stamp in the Patterned Occasions stamp set on offer during Sale-a-bration 2013.  I use a lot of gift cards and thought this stamp would lend itself quite nicely for this purpose.  The Leadership boards had so many ideas & this card is based on one I saw in a photo of those recently.

Sale-A-Bration 2013 Patterned Occasions Gift Card Holder

The Sycamore Street DSP has a Pool Party swirl pattern that looks just like clouds.  I added a little itty bitty punch flower to the image & a tiny pearl.  

Inside the gift card holder

The inside was punched using the word window punch and stamped with the little flower from the Madison Avenue stamp set also available during sale-a-bration.  The "Thanks" sentiment is from the Sale-a-bration stamp set  Vintage Verses.

Sale-A-Bration 2013 Countdown: Week 1 - Madison Avenue Card

I have been lucky enough to meet some friendly & very creative ladies as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, not just team members, or customers but also long distance blog visitors & demonstrators as well.   As a demonstrator we have access to the Stampin' Connection forum that enables us to talk and share ideas with other demonstrators all over the world.  I met Lisa from Michigan, USA recently on Stampin' Connection.   Her recent blog post using the Madison Avenue stamp set (click her name above to see her card) from Sale-A-Bration 2013 has inspired me to get my own set out and try to create something worthy of your eyes.

I must say I have found this stamp set a bit of a challenge & have looked at it sheepishly of late, often pushing it to the side in favour of all the other sets on offer during saleabration.  Today, after creating not one, but 20 of these cards, we have become good friends this Madison Avenue stamp set & I.

I did find it hard to photograph this card.  The colour I used on the base is actually Summer Starfruit, however in these photos it is coming up a mustard looking colour.  

Stamp Sets:  Madison Avenue(Sale-A-Bration).

Paper:  Naturals Ivory Cardstock, Summer Starfruit, Pool Party, Sycamore Street DSP.

Ink: Summer Starfruit, Rich Razzleberry, Pool Party.

Cool Tools: Pool Party Sycamore Street Ribbon ( Sale-A-Bration), Fancy Fan embossing folder.
