Blooming Basket Bundle - a new Sale-A-Bration section just added by Stampin' Up!

  • Blossoming Basket Bundle
  • Get More during Sale-A-Bration Second Release
  • Free Sale-A-Bration item with $50 or$100 order

Sale-A-Bration Second Release begins today



Today's the day!  The second release of Sale-A-Bration selections you can earn with a $50 or $100 order is here!  Scroll down to find the download link to see all the new items available.  I've been using my advanced demo order of some of these items, and I must say, Stampin' Up! has outdone themselves with these new items.  I can't stop using these new products.  

I'm again using the Blossoming Basket stamp and the Basket Weave Dynamic Embossing Folder.  This set begs for Blends Markers, where you can control the shading and highlights.  

  





The basecard for today's card is Sweet Sugarplum dry embossed using the Basket Weave Dynamic Textured Impression Folder.  I then used a Rich Razzleberry layer behind the Whisper White Image block.  

To color the flower images, I used the Light Rich Razzleberry and then I used the Color Lifter to add lighter highlights.  The leaves are colored with the Light Old Olive Blends.  The basket was colored with the Ivory Blends Marker.   The butterfly was colored with the Light Daffodil Delight.

The sentiment is from the Heartfelt Blooms Sale-A-Bration set.  The butterfly is from the Blooming Basket set.  The sentiment is die cut using the Layering Circles Framelits.   In addition to a general Birthday or Thinking of You card, this set is also perfect for Easter or Mother's Day. 

The ribbon is the 3/8" Sweet Sugarplum Striped Grosgrain Ribbon.

Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up!

  • Springtime Foils is a free selection in SAB 2nd release
  • Select a free Sale-A-Bration item with $50 or$100 order

Sale-A-Bration Second Release begins Feb 16



I'm so excited to share today's card with you.  It uses the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Sale-A-Bration second release of free selections.  You can begin selecting additional Sale-A-Bration item on February 16.  I have to admit, I almost missed this paper pack in the Sale-A-Bration Second Release flyer.  It just looked like a mostly white set of printed Designer Series Paper -- not very exciting.  However, the more I looked at it, the more possibilities came to mind.  I thought to myself, "this looks perfect for coloring with Blends alcohol-based markers."  And it was!  

What sets this item apart is that these 12 X 12" sheets are printed in gold or silver foil.  And the flower print is AMAZING!  Take a look at the photos below.  I used Blends to color one of the flower images, then fussy cut it and mounted it on another background paper with the gold foil dots -- another pattern in this Designer Series Paper pack. This paper pack includes 12 sheets of 12 X 12 papers, 3 each of 4 single-sided designs.  Look at the way the gold outline catches the light!  This was so hard to photograph, so I took extra photos to try to capture how beautiful this paper becomes when colored with Blends.  I'm definitely going to be ordering more of this Free Sale-A-Bration collection. 

  
This flower is one of the prints in the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper, one of the Free Sale-A-Bration selections in the Sale-A-Bration Second Release beginning February 16, 2018


The dotted background paper also includes gold foil dots.  It is another pattern from the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.



Today, I began with a Pink Pirouette basecard.  The punched boarder is in Sweet Sugarplum, and then one of the backgrounds from the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper. 

I selected one of the gold outlined flowers from the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper and colored it with Light and Dark Pink Pirouette Blends Markers and Light and Dark Old Olive Blends Marker.  showing this set with an extra technique for the flower centers.  The fussy-cut flower is mounted on dimensionals.


  
One of the free selections from the  Sale-A-Bration Second Release





The Sweet Sugarplum boarders are punched with the Decorate Ribbon Boarder punch.  

The Pink Pirouette metallic gold edge ribbon?  I used the Dark Pink Pirouette Blends to color the Very Vanilla 3/8" Gold Metallic-Edge Ribbon to match my card.  I love how the ribbon compliments the gold bling on the rest of the card.  

The sentiment is stamped in Berry Burst on a die cut created with a die from the Petals and More Thinlits Dies.  I matted the Whisper White sentiment with a small piece of Rich Razzleberry.  I love how Stampin' Up! colors compliment each other so well.
