Epic Celebrations stamped set from Stampin' Up!

  • Epic Celebrations
  • Only days remain to place orders for free Sale-A-Bration selections

Sale-A-Bration Fun


Today's card uses one of the fun, free Sale-A-Bration Sets called Epic Celebrations.  It includes headphones, an electric guitar and these fun tennis shoes.  This is a great set for boy, girls, women or men depending on the colors you choose for your card and accents.  I also used elements from another Sale-Bration-Set, called Amazing You, which includes the fun starbursts I used on this card.   You can earn either of these sets free with a $50 order before March 31.            





I used a basecard of Dapper Denim, then a layer of Marina Mist, then a layer of Whisper White.  Then I stamped the starburst from Amazing You under the Whisper White banner with Dapper Denim ink.  I then used a gray watercolor pencil and lightly shaded the inside of each starburst lines to give the starbursts some depth.       

I stamped the sentiment from the Epic Celebrations set in Marina Mist on to the Whisper White Banner.  I stamped the shoes from the Epic Celebrations in Marina Mist and fussy cut them out of Thick Whisper White.  

I added a ribbon using the Pacific Point 1/4" Stitched Edge Ribbon.  I popped the shoes up on dimensionals and glued them to the banner.  I then added a few Glitter Enamel Dots from the Dapper Denim selection.  Fun!      

I keep looking at the card and keep thinking about things I could do differently.  I'll likely try a version coloring the tennis shoes.  I might try silver embossed star bursts.  I might try a Pacific Point basecard.  I love looking at my cards and know that I can try all kinds of different versions due to colors that coordinate across the Stampin' Up! line.

Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit helps you make cards in a flash

  • Speedy Card creations with Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit
  • Six more days to place orders for free Sale-A-Bration selections

Embellishment Kits make cards in a Flash


Today kind of got away from me.  I looked up and realized the day was gone and I hadn't made a card for my blog.  Looking to put together a card in a flash, I decided to beak open the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit to see if there was anything I could quickly use.  I found this wonderful vellum, silver foil flower.  I didn't even wait to look at all of the other items in the kit.  This was so beautiful, I rushed it to my work table to put together a card to show it off.         





I used a basecard of Thick Whisper White, then a layer of regular Whisper White.  I used the Petal Pair Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to create the texture on the left.       

I selected one of the words form the Celebrate You thinlits and cut  the word "amazing" out of a piece of Silver Foil.  I cut two more "amazing" words out of Whisper White to layer under the Silver Foil word and mounted them all together to give the word "amazing" some depth and help it stand off the card.  

I glued the vellum, silver foil flower element to the card, and added a 3/8" Silver Metallic-Edged Ribbon to the edge of the card and then glued the word "amazing" over the front of the card.  Done!      

If you need a fast, yet elegant card, look through the elements in the Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit from the Occasions catalog.  You're sure to find elements to make your next card stand out.
