March 17, 2018

There is still time to enjoy all 30

of the amazing free Sale-a-Bration gift offerings!!

All Sale-a-Bration gifts available with your online orders of $50 or more through 3-31-18!

You can view them all here! My personal favorite? The Springtime Foils paper!! I have paired the paper with the Southern Serenade stamp set and used my Stampin' Blends markers to color the floral images of these beautiful handmade cards! Wouldn't these make great Easter cards?

When you select this pack of 12x12 designer paper as your free gift during Sale-a-Bration, you get 12 sheets of this gorgeous heavy-weight foiled paper!! 3 each of all 4 of these designs! Be Still My Heart! This is gorgeous!

I stamped the flower image from the Southern Serenade stamp set (pg 49 in your 2018 Occasions catalog) in Memento Black ink onto Whisper White die cut Lots of Labels framelits (pg 214 in the current annual Stampin' Up! catalog), then colored them with my Stampin' Blends markers. I decided to create one image with each pair of light and dark Stampin' Blends.

To my surprise, I REALLY loved the Rich Razzleberry image.. it surprised me because I am not a pink/purple person.. but this is so lovely!!

Tips!

Stamp the Southern Serenade flower image in Memento Black ink, and color with Stampin' Blends.
Stamp the lace image from Southern Serenade in Crumb Cake ink .. stamp off first if you want a lighter image.
If you don't have a ribbon to match your card, color it with Stampin' Blends - SEE THIS POST.
Color each of the flowers with both the light and dark Stampin' Blends, and color the leaves with the light and dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends.

I created the actual card base from the striped piece of Springtime Foils paper, but you could also just put a piece of Springtime Foils paper on top of a folded Thick Whisper White card base. I also added a piece of a contrasting Springtime Foils paper to the bottom 1/3 of the card, then added coordinating ribbon to each card.

You can make these too! All the Stampin' UP! supplies I used are listed at the bottom of this post.. click on any product image to go right to my online store!
