Hello There

Sale-A-Bration Reminder

I wanted to start with a Reminder! Sale-A-Bration only has today and tomorrow left for this year. We were treated to one extra day with the leap year. There are some great products to add to your inventory. And in case you forgot, there were additional products added this month that have great value. There is a flyer at the bottom of the post. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.

Additionally, there is a wonderful join promotion included in SAB. You have the choice of additional product, or a fabulous glass craft mat. I was able to purchase the mat and it is really nice!! And I would love to have you join my team.

Hello There card

Today’s card is showcasing one of the $100.00 SAB stamp sets. I have used it once before, along with the awesome Embossing Folder. This is the Softly Sophisticated Bundle.

Stamps

The stamps used are all from the Softly Sophisticated stamp set. This set has some of the best sentiments included. And they are in beautifully scripted fonts. I will keep it in my stash for those sentiments. The flowers used are all from the stamp set as well. I stamped repeatedly the stems in Lost Lagoon and then the flowers in Highland Heather. To have some depth, I additionally stamped a couple of times with Gorgeous Grape Ink on scrap paper. These were fussy cut and then added over top of two of the flowers and then as an addition to the sentiment layer.

Papers

The Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper is, in my opinion, the most beautiful of Stampin’ Up Designer Paper. I love the mix of purples, but also the greens with the Crumb Cake background. So I used a couple of different pieces for this card’s layers. The multiple floral piece was my first choice. Next came the plaid piece.

Then I decided it needed some more dark color. So I found the deep purple strip in scraps of that pack. (I keep all of the scraps associated with DSP. You never know when a scrap is exactly what you need to finish a card!) And the card base is Shaded Spruce that really helps the first DSP layer to pop! The stamped layer is cut intentionally at an angle. So your eyes are not messing with you! LOL!! It was an idea that didn’t really pan out but I just continued on.

Finishes

To get more texture and to highlight the sentiment, I added a faux bow using the Pretty Peacock and Gold Metallic Ribbon.. It is very soft and does not fight against the sentiment layer. The sentiment is die cut using a die from the Delicate Forest Dies. I wanted a pretty but simple shape. This die perfectly fit that bill! And to complete the card is bling. I added a trio of the Purple Shimmer Dots. Two are on flowers and one on the sentiment layer.
