LAST DAY OF SALE-A-BRATION BLOG HOP



Do you have a Sale-a-Bration flyer?  If you do not have a demonstrator, I would love to mail one to you.

For those of you who have a flyer, there is something I would like to point out.  I am the first to admit the flyer is a bit confusing.  It is in a different format than we usually see, so we have to search it very carefully so we don't miss anything.  It reminds me of the board game "CLUE".  You know, where Colonel Mustard used a knife in the ballroom.  ha   I first saw things I just HAD to get.  Then I went back and studied it more and saw some things I had not noticed before.  FREE ITEMS FROM OUR LARGE ANNUAL CATALOG. (page in annual catalog is included for your reference)

Ok, enough of business, now on to the creativity.


For this card I used very vanilla cs as the base and used  the FREE VINE STREET EMBOSSING FOLDER.  I then rubbed some Crumb Cake ink over the raised embossed images to help them show up more.

I used FREE SYCAMORE STREET DESIGNER SERIES PAPER along the bottom of my card, as well as FREE SYCAMORE STREET RIBBONS AND BUTTONS PACK.  L.O.V.E.  how all the colors coordinate with each product we use.


The FREE STAMP SET I used is called MADISON AVENUE STAMP SET.



I used mini pop dots to glue on the buttons on each flower.  I put a sliver of card stock into the button holes to make them look like they had been sewn.  Love the satin ribbon in pool party!!  The colors that coordinate with this DSP and what I used are:

ISLAND INDIGO
TANGERINE TANGO
POOL PARTY
RICH RAZZLEBERRY
GUMBALL GREEN


LOVE how the embossing folder and the stamp set coordinate so well, don't you?  

My next card is a minimalist card that packs a lot of punch:

 I LOVE bees!!  They are a symbol of industry, hard work and tenacity.  All the qualities that are good character traits to have.  Sorry for the lighting changing the color of the card stock.  It is DAFFODIL DELIGHT like this first photo.  The second photo makes it look like a different color and I am sorry for that.  My flash directly on the card is changing the color on my camera.

 The other thing I love about bees is HONEY!!  I love the taste of honey.  I love whipped honey, honey butter and honey candy.  It is so yummy, isn't it?  So this HONEYCOMB EMBOSSING FOLDER is perfect for this card with my little bees.  The bee is from the stamping set COLLAGE CURIOS in the SPRING CATALOG and they are small stamps to go with small punches, small spaces like the honeycomb, and small embellishments like the small POP CAPS.
Notice the awesome new ribbon?  It is NATURAL TRIM from the SPRING CATALOG.  It has a lot of texture and is very nice to work with.  I also used CRYSTAL EFFECTS on top of the bees on the HONEYCOMB EMBOSSING FOLDER for that shiny effect like they are inside their cell of the honeycomb.

  The sentiment is from CIAO BABY STAMP SET from the SPRING CATALOG and I used the FREE PETITE CURLY LABEL PUNCH from SALE-A-BRATION.  I also used the CURLY LABEL PUNCH from the big catalog as the back layer punched from FREE SYCAMORE STREET DESIGNER PAPER.

A closeup of my special detail of the small POP CAP, crushed on my BIG SHOT with a 3/4 INCH PUNCH glued on the top.  I punched a small hole with my 1/16 INCH HAND HELD PUNCH for my mini pin to go through to attach my embellishment to the trim.  Isn't that darling??!!  Do you like honey or bees?
