We Create Blog Hop: Sweet Deals

Can you believe we're already a month into this new year? Because I cannot....

But, a new month means a new blog hop, and here we are!

Today I'm featuring a couple great ways to get a "Sweet Deal" with Stampin' Up!
First- this great bundle with the postage dies and ten greetings! I am always in need of greetings. And I love postage, haha. I love mail, I love buying stamps, it's just fun for me! And this set has 9 sizes of "postage stamps", plus a few extra details! What's not to love?? The best part is that when you order a bundle, you're saving 10% right off the bat!

But also, I've said it before and I'll say it again- Sale-A-Bration is THE best time to place an order, or host, or join as a new Demonstrator! Why? Freebies, freebies and more FREEbies! And today I'm showing off one of the Sale-A-Bration exclusive sets - Detailed Dogwood. It is beautiful! And it's FREE with an order of $100 or more (before tax and shipping). That's about the cost of two great bundles!

SO today's card shows off the second biggest postage die, a lovely greeting, some pretty flowers, and for a bit of direction, I used the inspiration from TGIF Challenges to do a fun pink and red "watercolory" look.

Supplies:

Stamps: Perennial Postage, Detailed Dogwood

Ink: Memento Black, Sweet Sorbet, Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo

Paper: Very Vanilla card stocks

Accessories: Black Gingham Ribbon, Perennial Postage Dies, Dimensionals, big shot (retired)

I actually tried three times to get this background. Finally, I put the Flirty Flamingo ink pad directly onto the largest acrylic block, all over it. Then I dabbed the Melon Mambo ink pad randomly. I edged the block with the Sweet Sorbet ink pad. I spritzed it with water and laid the block onto some Vanilla card stock and this is what I got when I cut it out! I think it's pretty and unique, what do you think?
