Promotion Commotion with Stamping Symphony

Hello! It's the 15th of the month, so that means another Blog Hop with some of my Stamping Symphony friends. Today we're celebrating the "Sale-A-Bration Coordination" items (available until March 31st, 2019, or while supplies last). As if Sale-A-Bration wasn't exciting enough, this promotion has added extra commotion... and what a commotion this promotion has been! Many items have already sold out, but I'm here to showcase some of the awesome products still available! ;)

I focused my project around this BEAUTIFUL, hand-painted paper. One side has bold images focusing on the four seasons and the other side has a repeated pattern. As you can see from the picture above, the two work perfectly together!

The detail on the stamps from the Painted Seasons Stamp Set (the leaf image above) gives such realistic impressions with just one colour of ink. This is a Stampin' Up! exclusive technology called Distinktive. It's amazing! On the card above, I used the freebie wooden elements from Sale-A-Bration, but since those are no longer available (they were super popular!), I just thought I'd mention that you could get a similar look with the Frames Elements, you can find the link below.

To create the sentiment element, I used the More Than Words Stamp Set and the Story Label Punch. I added a few tiny leaves from the Painted Seasons Stamp Set for added interest.

Now you know I can't leave the inside untouched. I added similar elements as the front, with the addition of some additional words from the More Than Words Stamp Set.

Pop by again tomorrow to see some additional projects with this suite of products. If you're loving the paper, it can be yours for free with a $60 order. BUT, if you step up your order to $120, you can get the paper AND stamp set for FREE. Don't forget that the coordinating dies & additional products I used are only available until the end of the month, or until supplies last.

You can find a list of all the products I used below. If you don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator &/or you have a question or two, don't be afraid to reach out HERE.

Now, don't forget to hop along to all the other awesome people below. ;)

You Send Me Soaring

Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you're spending the day with loved ones. I'm readjusting back to the cold temps here in Canada. I just returned from sunny Florida and I think I might be hibernating in my studio for the next week. ;)

Today's card features the ever-popular The Sky is the Limit stamp set from Sale-A-Bration - only available until tomorrow - it's a limited time set (SAB runs until March 31st though!). I paired it with Timeless Textures from the Occasions Catalogue, and the little heart from last month's Paper Pumpkin kit, Cute Conversations.

I started by stamping in Real Red and when I got the look I was after, I stamped the plane in Basic Black. The sentiment was punched using the Decorative Label Punch, but I trimmed off the top and bottom piece so that the Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper that I punched with the the same punch would pop through.

On the inside, I simply created the same border as I did on the front.

Until next time, stay crafty!

The Sky is the Limit

Today's card is simple, but I really LOVE how it turned out! It's a congratulatory card, fitting for a graduation. Check it out:

I started with a piece of watercolour paper and inked up the stamp from Work of Art using a select number of Stampin' Write Markers that resembled rainbow colours. Before stamping that on my piece of watercolour paper, I spritzed it using a Stampin' Spritzer that I filled with water. A couple good spritzes should do the trick. This gives the image a softer look and the colours blend together as they would in a rainbow.

I punched a few cards from Whisper White Card Stock and sponged the edges with some Pool Party ink. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Grey and then I traced around the letters with my Pool Party Stampin' Write Marker to give it a softer look.

On the inside, I stamped the sentiment from the Sky is the Limit freebie you can currently earn for FREE during Sale-A-Bration. It's a limited time only stamp set and will be around until February 15th only. Behind the sentiment, I stamped the plane image, making sure to stamp off once.

You can earn this set for free by buying all the supplies I used to create this card, or anything you desire for $60 before taxes and shipping. Contact me for details!

Until next time, stay crafty!

A New Year

A brand new year means great things for Stampin' Up! - a new Occasions Catalogue and Sale-A-Bration begins! I'm so excited for the many new awesome products and now that I'm feeling better, I've had some time to play with them.

                                         

This card features many products from one of my favourite suites - It's My Party. I pulled colours from the Washi Tape (Crushed Curry and Black) for my card base and layers. I embossed the Whisper White layer with the Confetti TIEF and then added a few strips of washi in the center. Did you know that you can stamp on top of Washi Tape?? Well, you do now! I stamped a sentiment from Party Wishes stamp set.

                                

I love the Baker's Twine Combo Pack, but for this card, I pulled the colours apart (and then apart again) to get two separate (and thinner) colours. I really like how that turned out. On the inside, I added a few pieces of Washi again.

                                    

Until next time, stay crafty!
