2018 Sale-A-Bration – Teresa's Stampin' Spot

Flowers and Sunset

Hi! Today I have a card that I demonstrated on this past Tuesday’s with Teresa Facebook Live. The theme was masking using Die Cuts.

Flowers, Thinking of You, Wild About Flowers, Masking, Die Cuts, Stampin' Up!, SU!

I created a mask using an Oval Framelit and a piece of the white cardboard that is in the back of the Designer Series Packs of paper. Then I lay that over my Whisper White cardstock and sponged my background using Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive ink pads.

The flowers are from Wild About Flowers and stamped in Basic Black Archival Ink. The sentiment is from Heartfelt Blooms which is a Sale-A-Bration set which you can earn FREE by shopping in my on-line store. But hurry! This special ends March 31st and the set will no longer be available!

This stamped panel is mounted a piece of Basic Black cardstock. Here are the dimensions for each layer:

Whisper White stamped panel – 3 3/4″ x 5″
Basic Black panel – 4″ x 5 1/4″
Thick Whisper White Base – 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″

This is a simple technique with stunning results. To see the video, head over to my Facebook page and click Videos on the left hand side. It will be the video labeled: Tuesday’s with Teresa – Die Cut Masks.

Go For Greece Training Group Blog Hop

Hi! Today I am playing along in the Go For Greece Training Group Blog Hop! I joined this group this year to work on building my business and earn a trip to GREECE!! I still have a long way to go to earn the trip, but through sales, recruiting and team building, I am making some head way.

For today’s card, I am showcasing the Eclectic Expressions Sale-A-Bration stamp set.

Dragonfly, Thank You, Circles, Eclectic Expressions, Stampin' Up!, SU!, 2018SAB

I just LOVE this card – from the color combination to the layout – it is one of my favorites that I created for last Friday’s Sale-A-Bration Gone Wild class. For colors, I paired Fresh Fig, Rose Red and Smoky Slate. The stamps in this set are so versatile and can be used for all kinds of cards for young ones, old ones, males and females. I great set to have in your collection!

The stamped panel measures 3 3/4″ x 5″ and is layered on a Fresh Fig card stock layer measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″. The base is Smoky Slate, measuring 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side.

The Dragonfly is die-cut using the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlets from Basic Black card stock. He is then covered in Clear Wink of Stella for a sparkly look. Here is close up of him:

Dragonfly, Eclectic Expressions, Glitter, Thank You, 2018SAB, Stampin' Up!, SU

So pretty!!! The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black Archival Ink on a scrap of Whisper White card stock and the end is punched with the Triple Banner punch. This is layered on a piece of Fresh Fig card stock also punched with the Triple Banner Punch. I found it easier to punch my Whisper White sentiment panel first and then use that as a guide for punching the Fresh Fig layer.

Blossoming Basket

Hi! How are you today? I hope doing well! First, I want to say THANK YOU!! to all those that voted for my Wedding Wishes card for Kylie’s International Blog Highlights. I made the Top 10!! I’ll be hopping with the rest of the Top 10 in the beginning of April – so stay tuned!

On to today’s card. This card features the Blossoming Basket Bundle that is FREE with a $100 (US, prior to S/H and tax) purchase during Sale-A-Bration. We are down to our FINAL week – so hurry and get those orders placed so you don’t miss out on FREE goodies!

Mother's Day, Flowers, Blossoming Basket, 2018SAB, Stampin' Up!, SU!

This would make a beautiful Mother’s Day card. Went a little different by stamping my basket on Crumb Cake card stock and just coloring the flowers and leaves. I used the Berry Burst and Powder Pink 2017-2019 In Color markers for the Flowers and Old Olive for the leaves. The basket and sentiment were stamped in Basic Black Archival ink.

The Basket Weave Embossing Folder was used on Whisper White card stock for the background. The stamp set and embossing folder are bundled together in this FREE product choice.

I did use retired baker’s twine for an accent behind the stamped panel – but Basic Black twine which is current would look just as pretty.

I added a pearl to my sentiment panel and used the Triple Banner Punch to add interest to the opposite end.

The base of the card is Crumb Cake and a layer of Berry Burst card stock is adhered on top of that. A relatively straight forward card with just a few special touches for that someone special.

Just a few reminders – now is a great time to stock up on the 2016-2018 In Colors as they will be retiring at the end of May and if you stock up now, you also get to take advantage of Sale-A-Bration!

Time for Love

Hi! Today I am participating in Kylie’s International Blog Highlights! Our theme this month is LOVE and I am also continuing my series on the Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper!

I’d love your vote on my card! You can vote here.

Wedding, Love, Springtime Foils, Rose Wonder, 2018SaleABration, Stampin' Up!, SU!

The Springtime Foil paper is so elegant all on its own! I decided to use two of the sheets to make this Wedding card. No altering of the paper needed – just perfect and elegant all on its own. For this card, I chose to use the silver stripes and the Silver and Gold leaf prints. The dimensions are 3 3/4″ x 3″ for the leaf print and 3 3/4″ x 2″ for the stripes. A piece of the Silver Trimmed ribbon balances the two different papers. I paired the Rose Wonder stamp set and coordinating dies from the Annual Catalog to complete the card. The sentiment and border is stamped in Basic Black Archival ink and die cut with the coordinating framelit. The leaves are die cut in Old Olive. It’s a little hard to make out in the picture, but the leaves are covered in Clear Wink of Stella to give it a little glimmer as well.

The Designer Series Paper is layered on Basic Black card stock that measures 4″ x 5 1/4″. The base is Thick Whisper White and measure 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″. This could easily be changed into a 25th Wedding Anniversary card by changing out the sentiment.

I love the simplicity and elegance of this card and paper.

For the Boys…

and for the Girls!

I have two cards today, first up… for the boys!

Boys, Teens, Epic Celebrations, 2018Sale-A-Bration, 2018Occasions, Brushos, Stampin' Up!, SU!

For this card, I spritzed the Copper dotted Springtime Foil sheet with water and sprinkled on Brilliant Blue and Yellow Brushos then spritzed again to mix the colors to create my background. These Crystal Colours are so much fun to play with – and if you like to paint – I highly recommend adding them to your collection. You can find them here.

For the sneakers, I combined the same two colors in a little paint palette and added a little water from an AquaPainter to mix the two colors together. The sneakers are embossed in White Embossing Powder on Whisper White cardstock, then painted with the brusho colors. These were then cut out by hand and popped up on a Basic Black 2″ circle. This is layered on a piece of Copper Foil punched with the Starburst punch. The sentiment is stamped in Basic Black Archival ink and punched out with a 1 1/2″ circle punch.

The base of the card is Thick Whisper White cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2″ and scored at 4 1/4″. A piece of Basic Black cardstock measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″ is matted behind the Springtime Foil piece which measures 3 3/4″ x 5″.

This same design and layout can also be turned into a card for girls by changing up the Brusho colours!

Girls, Teens, Brushos, Epic Celebration, 2018SaleABration, 2018Occasions, Stampin' Up!, SU! The same technique, punches and layers used for the boys are used here. The only difference, the Brusho colors. For the background piece, I sprinkled Brilliant Blue, Brilliant Red and Yellow brushos. For the sneakers, I mixed Brilliant Blue and Brilliant Red to create my purple.

Two great cards that can be used to celebrate a birthday or even graduation!

A Little Squirrelly

Hi! Today I am kicking off a little series featuring the Sale-A-Bration Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper! I just LOVE this paper and will be sad to see it go this month. You can choose this paper FOR FREE with a $50 (US, prior to S/H and tax) purchase – but only through the end of this month!

Squirrel, Hedgehugs, SpringtimeFoils, 2018SAB, Stampin' Up!, SU!

The squirrel and sentiment are from the Hedgehugs stamp set found in the Occasions Catalog. The images in this set are just adorable! I stamped teh Squirrel in Chocolate Chip and the sentiment in Pool Party. This was punched out with the 2″ circle punch and layered on a piece of Calypso Coral punched with the Starburst punch. I layered the Striped pattern from the Springtime Foil paper over a thin strip of Pool Party. A piece of the Calyspo Coral shimmer ribbon (also a FREE item for Sale-A-Bration) was wrapped around the foil before attaching to a layer of Whisper White card stock.

The measurements are:

Base – Pool Party Card stock – 4 1/4 x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
Basic Black Card Stock – 3 7/8 x 5 1/8″
Whisper White – 3 3/4″ x 5″
Springtime Foil Stripe – 1 1/2″ x 3 3/4″
Pool Party Strip – 1/2″ x 3 3/4″

For the final touch, 3 Pool Party Heart Enamel Shapes were added.

Isn’t it such a cute card? Love how it turned out – and used my favorite colors!

Just a reminder about Sale-A-Bration – as we get closer to the end of the month, I expect consumable products – such as the ribbon and Designer Series Paper on this card, will be “While Supplies Last!” So don’t delay in placing your orders and earning those FREE Sale-a-Bration products!

Ombre Foils

Hi! Hard to believe this is the last day of February! That means there is only one month left to take advantage of all that Sale-A-Bration has to offer! Yikes! So many awesome products you can earn for FREE!!

Today I have a card featuring the Springtime Foils Designer Series Paper that was released as a Sale-A-Bration product on Feb 16th. This paper is just gorgeous on its own – but I decided to show what else you could do with it in today’s card.

Brayer, Ombre, 2018SAB, Springtime Foils, Stampin' Up!, SU!

For today’s card, I used one of the foam brayers to make an Ombre look on this paper. Starting at the top of the foil paper, I applied Night of Navy ink using the brayer. More ink was brayered at the top of the foil paper and less ink near the bottom to give it the Ombre look. After applying the ink, use a paper towel to remove the ink over the foil pattern. The foil Designer Series Paper is layered on a Night of Navy mat.

The flower is from the Perennial Birthday stamp set and is colored with Pink Pirouette, Old Olive and Night of Navy markers. This was punched out with the 1 3/4″ circle punch and layered on a 2″ Night of Navy circle punch. The Silver Trimmed ribbon was wrapped around the foil DSP.

The base is Thick Whisper White card stock.

This paper is one of the FREE products you can choose with a $50 (US, prior to S/H and tax) order. I highly recommend it – it is so pretty and adds an elegant look to cards and projects.

In Color Blooms

Hi! Today I am showcasing the Sale-A-Bration set Heartfelt Blooms with the 2016-2018 In Colors!

Thanks, Cards, DIY Papercrafting, Heartfelt Blooms, 2018SAB, Stampin' Up1, SU!

This stamp set is just gorgeous and I had fun using the Triple Time Stamping Technique to make these cards. If you aren’t familiar with the technique, see below for some pictures to help you.

The 2016-2018 In Colors are retiring at the end of May. I highly recommend stocking up on card stock and re-inkers soon! Take advantage of Sale-A-Bration and earn FREE products while you can!

Here is a closer look at each color:

Dapper Denim:

Thanks, Cards, DIY Papercrafting, Heartfelt Blooms, 2018SAB, Stampin' Up1, SU!

The ribbon for this card was colored using a sponge dauber and the Dapper Denim ink pad. I hold one end of the ribbon with one hand and drag the ribbon across the pad pushing down with a Sponge dauber. I then flip the ribbon over and repeat on the other side. This Silver trimmed ribbon is just gorgeous and love that I can color it to match my card.

Emerald Envy:

Thanks, Cards, DIY Papercrafting, Heartfelt Blooms, 2018SAB, Stampin' Up!, SU!
For this card, I only stamped in the two corners – leaving a little bit of white space on the card. The ribbon was colored with the Dark Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends! It is so easy to color AND you only need to color one side as it goes all the way through! Not much drying time needed either!
