The Coronavirus has been dominating the news and if anyone needed cheerng up, then as crafters, we ALL do!!!! Imagine my surprise when Stampin’ Up! added MORE choices to the mix in a Sale-A-Bration Third Release!
The Shimmer Detailed Laser cut Specialty Designer Series Paper (SDSP) was in my box and hadn’t even been opened yet and I forget how long ago that was! This is one of your choices with a qualifying purchase.
I set myself a challenge and made all these cards with just one sheet – there are two patterns as pictured below and you can use the shimmery layer, which is the side I used for all the samples above, or you can flip it over to the reverse to use the Whisper White side. These papers make card making so easy – as the laser cuts are pretty enough on their own without too much stamping.
As the 2018-2020 In colours will be retiring soon, I used the whole colour range to make my cards. The Lovely Lipstick cards are 3″x 3″ and I simply white embossed the words directly onto the card stock. I punched out the butterflies with the Butterfly Duet punch, also one of the Sale-a-bration 3rd release choices. The sentiments are from the Beautiful Moments stamp set.
The Blueberry Bushel card “Sending Healing Hugs” used the Stitched So Sweetly dies and Blueberry Bushel 1/8″ grosgrain ribbon. The Blueberry Bushel floral one used the “Label me Bold” cling set to simply stamp “happy birthday” in Blueberry Bushel ink.
Bottom left was in Pineapple punch and the bees were fussy cut from the “honey bee” paper, I think that’s out of stock and won’t be replenished, unfortunately. I also used the Ornate Border dies with this one.
Call me Clover is such a vibrant green. For this card I used the Free as a Bird stamp set, stamped and coloured the flowers with Call Me Clover stampin blends combo, Pineapple punch combo and Call me Clover ink.
Lastly, the large oval aperture lent itselt to being stamped on and I used Beautiful Moments Cling in Grapefruit Grove colours.
Thanks for visiting. Hope you’re all safe and are staying home.
