The first two Sale-A-Bration cards

Hi everyone, as you know we were making a card with every Sale-A-Bration stamp set at class this week. I know you've had a sneaky peek but here are the first 2 cards in detail. Here's the first one using the Fresh Vintage stamp set:

I am trying to use some different colours combinations so for this card I used Cajun Craze and More Mustard with Very Vanilla. I used Cajun Craze ink and my favourite Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch. The sentiment was punched using the Word Window punch and the Modern Label punch. A strip of designer paper completed the card. As you can see all the colours and papers coordinated beautifully, taking all the hassle out of card making. Here's a bit of a close up. Sorry it's on its side:

Now for the second card. This one uses the Sprinkled Expressions stamp set:

This time I used a white card with Melon Mambo and Concord Crush. I stamped the flower and sentiment in Melon Mambo ink and used the scalop circle punch with the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" circle punches to create the sentiment flower. One of the flowers from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch pack was used to create the 3 small flowers, finished with a rhinestone in the centres.

Here's the close up:

SAB to see you go

Hi everyone, today I'm showing you a card I made for work, as a colleague was leaving our team. I've used Calypso Coral for the base card again (seems to be becoming a favourite). I also couldn't wait to play with the Sale-A-Bration FREE papers - Everyday Enchantment, so have used them for this card:



I cut the flag 'freehand' using my trimmer and die cut the letters using the Big Shot and the Timeless Type Junior Alphabet. I was trying to think what word I could use on the flags. Thought of saying 'Goodbye' but it was a bit long, thought of 'Leaving' but it's the same number of letters so ended up with 'Miss U', which I quite like. The sentiment at the bottom has been printed on the computer.

The flower on the flag was created using the Boho Blossom punch and the little flowers in between the flags are punched using one the punches from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack. I used some of the other In Colours that match the papers to create these - Pool Party, Lucky Limeade and ofcourse, Calypso Coral.

Finally, I stamped the inside using the matching FREE Sale-A-Bration set Fresh Vintage, to create a border in Calypso Coral ink. By the way, the paper the card is lying on is one of the sheets from the FREE  Everyday Enchantment designer paper set.
