We're nearly done with Sale-a-Bration--EEEK! If you haven't snagged your FREE items yet what are you waiting for?! This is our second to last Sale-a-Bration Sunday and I have loved sharing this years Sale-a-Bration offering with you! Today I'm sharing FOUR Sale-a-Bration products! I'm featuring the Pick A Season Stamp Set today but I'm also using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies, the Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set for my greeting and the Purple Sequins. All choices FREE with a $60 qualifying Sale-a-Bration order. I'm sure today's card will have something you love! After a couple weeks of over the top projects this week I thought we'd go with a more simple, layed back card. That doesn't mean we're sacrificing on cuteness or techniques. There's no shortage here. I have a fun technique for the background, we have some fussy cutting and die cut glimmer paper. What's not to love!
The background is made with bubble wrap. Yep just your run of the mill bubble wrap. I have a small stash of bubble wrap that I keep for this technique, if some of the bubbles are popped that's just fine, it adds to the texture. I carefully ink up the bubble wrap then gently place my cardstock over the ink, pull off and you have an incredible background. Don't worry too much about making it perfect-the imperfections make it perfect!
For my tree I inked up the leaves in Granny Apple Green then I used my Stampin' Write Markers to ink up the eggs. I colored each egg a different color and stamped them on the tree. The Stampin' Write Markers are different than our Stampin' Blends. DO NOT attempt this technique with your Stampin' Blends. The reason it works with our Stampin' Write Markers is because they're waterbased and the same ink that's in our ink pads. So it works. The Stampin' Blends are alcohol based and won't work to stamp. Now is a great time to JOIN MY TEAM and grab TWO color families of Stampin' Write Markers FREE in your Starter Kit. This join offer ends with Sale-a-Bration so don't wait to join! After the tree is stamped you'll fussy cut the top of the tree and the trunk.
The letters are die cut with the Alphabet A La Mode Dies, FREE Sale-a-Bration option, with some Glimmer Paper. To make adhering the letters easy and mess free I put an Adhesive Sheet on the back of the Glimmer Paper BEFORE die cutting. Then the letters are simple to stick down, it's peel and stick!
I used the 'happy' from the 'Happy Birthday' stamp from the Beautiful Butterflies Stamp Set-also a FREE option during Sale-a-Bration! The card is finished with some Purple Sequins-our fourth FREE Sale-a-Bration option.
