The End!

...of Sale-A-Bration 2015 anyway...
And so, once again, I'm featuring three Sale-A-Bration products on this card! I used the Nacho Average Challenge for the sketch, and a new color combo I hadn't tried with these flowers before!

Supplies:
Stamps: Lotus Blossom, Simply Wonderful
Ink: Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Soft Suede
Paper: Crisp Cantaloupe, Soft Suede & Whisper White card stocks, Irresistibly Yours DP

And since it is the end of the promotion, here is the last Cards In The Mail I received this month, and it uses a Sale-A-Bration set in a really clever way!

Quick post today but be sure to come back tomorrow for the blog hop!!
And if you missed any Sale-A-Bration items you just have to have, you can always place an order at stampinup.com and choose me as your demonstrator!

Nope, I haven't stamped the entire week!! But this weekend we have another wedding reception and that means I needed a card! I got my newest stamp order so of course I had to play with that! *grin I have been eyeing this stamp set since it came out and I finally got it! I used the latest Mojo Monday sketch for the layout and threw in some gold sparkly, haha! But it really is a simple card...

Stamps: Choose Happiness, Simply Wonderful
Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Mossy Meadow
Paper: Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White card stocks, Gold Glimmer DP

And hopefully I can do some more stamping this weekend!

A Wedding Card

I realized this past week that we (my husband and I) are officially grown ups. Apparently we're old enough for parents to invite us to their child's wedding when we really don't know the bride at all, haha...
I threw this card together last minute Saturday, before we went to the reception, and managed to get enough light to take the picture, haha. I used the latest sketch from the Viva La Verve blog for the card layout. Mostly I was just happy it turned out as pretty in real life as it was in my head!

Supplies:
Stamps: Love Is Kindness, Simply Wonderful
Ink: Memento Black, Old Olive Blendabilities, Wisteria Wonder Blendabilities, Pear Pizazz marker, Soft Sky
Paper: Whisper White & Wisteria Wonder card stocks
Accessories: White Jute Ribbon, Stamping Sponge

A Sale-A-Bration card!

Happy Thursday to you! How is your week going? I think today has the least going on, so I'm going to fill it with errands, haha...
Today I'm sharing my Jan/Feb Cards In The Mail swap, which I am finally getting out!! I have a pretty card featuring all of my Sale-A-Bration products! I used the current Mojo Monday sketch, but I did make a couple adjustments...I put the sentiment on a banner instead of a circle, and I moved the location of said sentiment, but I think you can still see the sketch. These lotus blossoms use two 'shades' of Rich Razzleberry, and the final image is Blackberry Bliss.

Supplies:
Stamps: Lotus Blossom, Simply Wonderful
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake, Old Olive
Paper: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Irresistibly Yours DP
Accessories: White Jute Ribbon, Hexagon Punch, Stamping Sponge, Dimensionals

Have you seen this DP in action?? We had a DP like this a few years ago and I loved using it, so I was excited to get this package! It has a clear embossed pattern on each sheet, so you add your own ink to make it whatever color you need! In this instance I sponged Old Olive ink all over it. That means some areas are darker and some are lighter. Then you just wipe it off with a tissue and that makes the embossed pattern show up more boldly! Quick, easy and FUN!

And the White Jute ribbon from the Occasions Mini is so pretty! It's a little stiff, and a little thick, so I have the DP on Dimensionals, but so far it's staying put and looks good to me!

Finally, I cut strips for the sentiment, and then flagged the ends with the hexagon punch. So easy, and looks so great!

What are you creating?

For today's card, I used last week's Mojo Monday sketch. (I actually made it last week but I had lots to post last week too!) I didn't love how it turned out, maybe too busy? But I threw this Sale-A-Bration greeting on yesterday and it will be going out in the mail this week too!
