From the New Mini Catalog comes wonderful new products. Today’s card is a quick one using the Splendid Thoughts stamp set paired with the Sale-A-Bration cards and envelopes.
This fun card was a CASE of a card I made from one of our Stampin’ Up! online events for demonstrators. It is a bit different from my normal card layers. And if was fun to step outside of my box. So I decided to CASE my own card. Here is the card i made during the event, which was made along with the presenter.
Bundle
Both cards were made using the same stamp set. It is the Splendid Thoughts set. There are dies included which are the Splendid Stems Dies. These can be purchased as a Bundle for a 10% discount!
Looking at the second card, you will see a Soft Sea Foam Ribbon. It is included in the Splendid Day Suite of products. The Suite includes the Bundle, Ribbon, Trinkets, and gorgeous Splendid Day Designer Series Paper.
On the first card, I stamped the leafy stem and it’s filler stamp using Old Olive Ink and Soft Sea Foam Ink. There is a die for this, but I didn’t think about it??? Duh! I just grabbed my Paper Snips and snipped away.
Punch
The Sending Hugs sentiment is a treasure. And I wanted it to stand out, but not cover all of the background. This was accomplished by using the Rectangle Postage Stamp Punch. It is a perfect size for a smaller layer and still has some definition to it.
Background
To begin with the card base, it is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item. Instead of me using cardstock, I went with these cards and envelopes. They are the Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes. The best part is the price! They are FREE with a $50.00 order during this SAB. Here is a picture of the card and the matching envelope.
Don’t you just love the white detail on the envelope? Plus there are 20 cards and 20 envelopes! That is an awesome deal for such pretty cards.
The second part of the background is the White layer. It is colored using the Pool Party and Soft Sea Foam Stampin’ Blends. Simply take the light of one and “squiggle” it from the top to the center. Then do the same with the light of the other color going from bottom up to the center. For a bit more color, take the dark of each and from the center go a little bit into the lighter of the same color. When they are dry they blend together and create a pretty and quick background. It is more noticeable on the second card due to brighter colors.
