Sale-a-Bration 2011

 

Sale-a-Bration (SAB)  is here again and this years offerings are just fabulous.

Isn’t this just gorgeous?  It’s called Sweet Summer and it’s just one of this years Sale-a-Bration sets.  I love it!

The following card was made using the Sweet Summer SAB stamp set and Perfect Punches stamp Set from the main catalogue.

It’s so fresh and cottage garden looking in Early Espresso, Whisper White, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue and Rose Red.

I used Early Espresso satin ribbon across the middle of the card with the Happy Birthday raised on Stampin’ Dimensionals. The dot on the ‘i’ is accented with one of the fabulous Basic Rhinestones found on page 99 in the Idea Book & Catalogue.

Don’t forget there are 3 easy ways of earning the stunning SAB sets.  If you would like to know more on how to earn this and other fabulous sets for free please get in touch.

Card Swap - Punches

I recently took part in a “Card Swap” with other Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators.  A card swap is where a number of you agree to make a card or just a card front using specific colours, accessories, tools or technique.

The swap theme was punches, and as this was the first time I had ever done this, it seemed like the perfect theme to get into.  After all I have a ton of them!  So I made up enough card fronts with the “ingredients” on a label on the back for everyone involved in the swap, and sent them off to Pat who organised it all.  When everyone had sent theirs in, Pat kindly sorted them all out and sent us all our set of wonderful, varied and inspiring card fronts!

This is my card front:-


Cardstock – Old Olive, Pretty in Pink and Rose Red
Inks – Old Olive, Rose Red
Stamp Set – One of a Kind
Punch – Boho Blossoms
Accessories – Gold Brads, Crystal Effects, SNAIL & Stampin Dimensionals

Here are all the cards I received back including  my own.


Who knew you could do so much with Stampin’ Up Punches?



If there are any cards on here that you like the look of and would love to duplicate them, please get in touch and I will be happy toadvise you on what was used to make them and to assist you with your order for any items that you will need.

See you soon
