a bit closer...

Card cu

Our card base is Bubble Bath with a layer of the same embossed with Exposed Brick.  The awesome colorful designer paper is actually another one of the Sale-a-bration Freebies--Toadstool Garden Designer Series Paper... doesn't it just make you want to kick up YOUR heels?

Our dancing couple is colored with Blends--Granny Apple Green, Fresh Freesia, Melon Mambo & a bit of Smoky Slate.  They are backed with a slim layer of Granny Apple cardstock to pop them out!

Wondering where to get those gems? These are the Iridescent Foil Gems colored with the Blends in order that they coordinate with our dancing couple  the colorful DSP--this means that you can always have matching gems!

Creating with Sale-a-bration Friendly Seagulls Stamp Set

Here's the stamp set...

Stanp set

This is our card today...

Espresso

And a bit closer look...

Cu

Since we are using a beachy scene we decided to use neutral colors for our pallette on this card. We're using an Early  Expresso base with a top layer using the new Sale-a-bration embossing folder, Starstruck...really a very cute design with an all over pattern.

Next we used the Timeless Plaid desisgner paper that coordinates well with the Expresso with a base of Gray Granite. The Perennial Postage die gives it a playful and interesting edge.

We kept the stamped imaged in black and white except for a few touches of color with Gray Granite on the winkds and a bit of Peach Pie for the bills and feet.

The simple greeting is popped up on the gray granite label.

Come back by next Tuesday and see which Sale-a-bration Freebie we're using then!

and here's today's creation...

 

RedWith a bit closer look....

Red cu

As you can see we focused on Valentine's Day or an anniversary for today's creation.

We used the heart side of the Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper today--just perfect to coordinate with the heart inserts. Of course, we used Real Red ink for the hearts and Garden Green for the tree leaves.

We've added a fence in the background in Pecan Pie and a triple bow from the Gold Twisted Thread (and Online Exclusive product).

We "shined" up the focal point with 2 strips of Gold Foil tucked behind the focal point on both sides. Last but not least we added a dragonfly (Birds & Dragonflies embellishments) which is just perfect flying above the fence.

Come back by next Tuesday and see which Sale-a-bration Freebie we're using then!

Creating with Sale-a-bration Pick a Season Stamp Set

Today we are Creating with Sale-a-bration Pick a Season Stamp Set. During Jan-Feb when you purchase $60 in product you can select a freebie from the SAB brochure and this set is one of them!

Here's the Pick a Season....

StampThis is today's card...

Melonand a bit closer...


Melon cu

Before we get into the design I want to thank Tracie Clarke for inspiring this card design!

The stamp set has multiple "inserts" for the tree to address many occasions....hearts, flowers, leaves, shamrocks and Easter eggs! Great options for your coming year.

Our card begins with a Melon Mambo base with a gorgeous piece of designer paper from the Marbeled Elegance set. You may remember the reverse side  displaying swirled "paint" in white, gold, red and pink.  This side has lovely red roses that coordinate quite nicely with our rose inserts in the tree.

The tree trunk, a separate stamp, is in Early Espresso and the leaves are in Garden Green. We stamped the roses in Melon Mambo to match the base card and designer paper.

We're using the greeting from another Sale-a-bration Freebie (Day to Celebrate)--we stamped on Pretty in Pink and hand cut the label.

The final touch are two of the gold birds that are simply elegant flying above our tree.

Stop back on Thursday to see another creation using this stamp set!

This is our card for today....

Melon

and a bit closer...

Melon cu

 

Today we're actually using two of the Sale-a-bration Freebies...the background uses the Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper that is free with a $60 order. The stamp is from the Corner in Bloom stamps we used on Tuesday.

We cut 3 strips of the Melon Mambo floral design to use as our background--we layered this on white and used a Melon Mambo cardstock base.

The focal flower is stamped on white and then layered on Melon Mambo and another layer of white. The flower is stamped in Mememto because we're using our alcohol markers (Blends) to provide the color.

The white & silver bow gives the base of the flower and extra pizazz and the sprinkling of pink sequins adds some interest around the flower.

Stop back by Thursday to see another creation using another freebie.
