Stampin' Up! Lovely Lattice Stamp Set

I was looking back over cards we've made in January classes and I realized that I hadn't posted this card on my blog. It is such a fast, simple card to create that you'll want to give this one a try. And the best thing about this card is that you can earn the Lovely Lattice stamp free as a Sale-A-Bration selection with a $50 order. The papers are from the Occasions catalog and you can view all of the free Sale-A_Bration Selections in the Sale-A-Bration Brochure.

I used a basecard of Thick Whisper White cardstock. Then I lightly laid the strip of Daffodil Delight Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper on the left side of my card so I would know where to stamp the Lovely Lattice image. I stamped the Lovely Lattice image in Tuxedo Black Memento and colored it with Light and Dark Daffodil Delight Blends Markers,. I used a Dark Mango Melody Blends Marker, a carry-over from the Holiday catalog, to deepen the color in the center of the larger flowers.

I then stamped the sentiment from the Butterfly Gala set in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto the lower portion of the card front.

A free Sale-A-Bration pick with a $50 order makes a beautiful card

The strip of Daffodil Delight Gingham Gala 6 X 6" Designer Series Paper was then added to the side of the card after wrapping the tails of the Daffodil Delight Organdy Ribbon onto the back side of the gingham ribbon.

The Organdy Ribbon Combo Pack (item 149623) was one of the most popular Sale-A-Bration items ever, with thousands of packages selected as free Sale-a-Bration items by both demonstrators and customers. In fact, it has exceeded Stampin' Up! forecasts. Although Stampin' Up! is filling back orders already placed with a second large shipment of the Ribbon Combo Packs, no new orders can be placed until sometime in March. Once it is turned on again, it will be available while supplies last only. I'll post an alert as soon as its available. Until then, here's what I suggest. Use the 1/8" Sheer Whisper White Ribbon (144172) pp 201 of the annual catalog, and color it with your Daffodil Delight Blends. You'll have a beautiful ribbon to match your card.

Just a quick reminder, Sale-A- Bration runs from January through March 31, and because of the fabulous sign up special for new demonstrators along with the wildly popular products introduced with the introduction of the Occasions catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure, we're seeing a few more back orders than normal. However, Stampin' Up! has large quantities arriving to fill most of these back orders, so feel comfortable placing an order, even if it is on back order. Most of the back ordered items are arriving in early to mid February, giving you plenty of time to use them on your Spring cards and projects. There are a couple of punches -- the Cake Builder Punch and the Butterfly Duet Punch-- that are sold out with estimated availability TBD. However, both of these punches will carry over to the new Annual Catalog in June. As soon as we hear something definite about availability of these two punches, I'll let you know.

As always, if you like something you see, order it as early as possible to ensure it doesn't sell out. Also, Stampin' Up! will introduce several new Sale-A_Bration selections. Demonstrators can pre-order these new items February 1, which is another great reason to consider signing up to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator today!

Need to place on order, today? Remember that each $50 order earns you a free Sale-A-Bration selection. Today's Lovely Lattice stamp set would make a great, free Sale-A-Bration selection with your $50 order.
