Hello! Today starts the beginning of one of the most
exciting times of the year at Stampin’ Up!, Sale-a-Bration! Yes, I love
Sale-a-Bration! Where else can you get something free just for spending $50?
Especially, when you were going to spend the $50 any way? The Spring Occasions
catalog is to die for, so many beautiful stamp sets and accessories for
birthdays, Easter, Mothers Day and Fathers Day, and of course, just because. I
love new catalogs! It means, fresh, new ideas and brand new products to spark
creativity. Today’s card is just an example of what you will find in the new
catalog. This uses the brand new stamp set, Birthday Blooms. It’s so pretty and
so feminine. I just love it.
What do you
think?
To create this card, I cut a card base from So Saffron CS, 8
½” x 5 ½” and scored it at 4 ¼” and added a piece of So Saffron DSP from the Subtles
DSP pack, cut at 5 ¼”x 4” with Fast Fuse. I then cut a piece of Whisper White
CS 4 ¾” x 3 ½” and stamped the large floral image from the stamp set into the
bottom left corner using Momento Tuxedo Black ink. I framed the image using the
same ink and the loopy border stamp from the “Tin of Cards” stamp set found in
the Annual Catalog. I proceeded to color the flowers, using the blending pen
and So Saffron ink and outlined them in Hello Honey ink. I colored the leaves
using the Pear Pizzazz ink and outlined them in Old Olive ink, also with the
blender pens. I added a sentiment from
the same Birthday Blooms stamp set and added the panel to the card base, using
Stampin’ Dimensionals. A very easy card with a lot of punch, don’t you think?
And to add a little something extra special, I added a little clear Wink of
Stella to the flower petals and that put this card over the top as a WOW card!
You really need to see it in person that’s for sure. The shimmer is just
amazing.
If there was just one product I could buy from this new
catalog, it would be Wink of Stella! That just takes your simple projects and makes
it look like an amazing, wow project. If
you have never tried it, I would say this is a MUST have for your stamping
arsenal.
Ok, well I’m off to see what else I can do with the goodies
from this new catalog release. Be sure to browse through the catalog and see
what wonderful goodies you find that you must have and feel free to leave a
comment below to let me know your thoughts about today’s’ card and the new
catalog offerings.
Happy Stamping!
