As you know, Saleabrations is here. I thought I should show you a few ideas for using these free products. Free Products? You didn't know?
Saleabrations is held this year during the months of February & March. You as a customer can purchase $50.00 of merchandise (prior to tax & s/h) and you will get to pick one free item out of the Saleabration's mini catalog. What a great deal! In fact, you can pick 1 free item for each $50.00 purchased.
This card was almost 100% cased from someone out on the Splitcoaststampers website. It uses the Free Stamp set called Polka Dot Punches. I also used our 5- Petal punch to punch the blue & green flowers out along with a square punch to punch out 4 different pieces of the Delicate Dots Designer Series Paper. This paper is another of the Free Saleabration products you can get free. Last but not least is the Certainly Celery twill tape which is part of the ribbon bundle you can get free as another Saleabration item. The words came from a Level One Hostess stamp set called Sweet Little Sentiments.
I don't believe I have ever made a St Patrick's Day card in the 6 years I have stamped. Over the years I have seen many hearts used to make a 4 leaf clover so decided it was my turn.
I started with one of the Stampin' Up! Background Texturz plates that put swirls on the background white cardstock. I then stamped 4 hearts using the Saleabration stamp sets called Polka Dot Punches. These would normally be punched with the Full Heart punch which I thought I had purchased but found out I didn't so had to cut them for this card. The punch would have been quicker & easier. I then took a rectangle of Glorious Green cardstock & used the Wide Oval punch along each side to make the stem. Last I took the 3/4 inch circle punch & put it under the middle of all the hearts to put it together. What do you think?
This card is also partially cased from the Splitcoaststampers website. I used the the Big Shot with the Top Note Die. I inked up the bottom part of the one of the stamps from the Yummy set. This is another Free Salebration set. I then used words from the Level 1 Hostess set. The flowers are from an Embosslit Die called Stampin' Up! Simple Flower that is used with the Big Shot. It embosses & cuts the cardstock or in this case the Delicate Dots Designer Series Paper at the same time. I also used the Certainly Celery twill tape from the ribbon bundle.
This last card uses the Saleabration stamp set called Botanical Blooms. I also used the middle of the Frame, Oval Scallop which is a new die for the Big Shot. I also used the So Saffron ribbon from the Saleabration ribbon bundle. Hope I have given you some fun ideas.
