It's time for a Sale-a-Bration

Good morning my crafty friends! It's time for the Stampers Showcase Blog Hop! YAYA!!! I always look forward to the last Monday of each month because this group of creative designers always has such beautiful projects to share with us!

This month's theme is all about Sale-a-Bration (SAB). It's going on RIGHT NOW and it's worth being excited about! There are some absolutely FANTASTIC items in the SAB brochure (while supplies last) and they are the topic of our hop today!

I'm using a couple of items from the Sale-A-Bration brochure, because...... Why not?! The Special Moments stamp set is full of absolutely INCREDIBLE sentiments! It's FREE with a $100 purchase!

LOTS of terrific sentiments, right?! LOVE IT!

And then, I wanted to use the Daffodil Afternoon 12"x12" Designer Series Paper (FREE with a $50 purchase), because it's so pretty and I am IN LOVE with the coordinating Daffodil Daydreams Stamp & Die Bundle in the 2022 Spring Mini Catalog. It's a gorgeous bundle and I really enjoy building daffodils with the dies and coloring them with the stamps and Stampin' Blends.

Today's project uses the flower cluster stamp and some coloring with Daffodil Delight and Mossy Meadow Blends. If you've not yet tried coloring with Stampin' Blends, you don't even know what you're missing! Trust me, they're incredible!

I love that the Daffodil Daydreams Bundle has dies that match my beautiful colored stems. It makes cutting and layering them so easy.

For this project, I also brought in one of my GO-TO die sets "Stitched So Sweetly". I love all the choices for sentiment pieces as well as background layers. In this case, I used the 2nd and 3rd largest of the scalloped rectangle dies to create the layers behind the daffodils. So pretty! The Ornate Frames dies came in handy for the sentiment piece on the card.

With a Pear Pizzazz card base, these daffodils look so bright and cheerful! Add the layers of scalloped rectangles and the die cut daffodils and you've got a beautifully fun card!

This one has more dimension than I would normally recommend for a card going in the mail. But this one is going to be hand delivered to a special friend. So bring on the dimension!! :-) However, join me LIVE this evening at 8pm EST on The Stampin' Chic Dana Sullivan Facebook page and I'll be doing a more USPS friendly version.

I hope you enjoyed my card. I really enjoyed sharing it with you! There's still time to earn these Sale-A-Bration items too! See the supply list down below.

Valentine's Day Blog Hop with the Crafty Collaborations Crew

*music plays* "I'm in the mood for love, simply because you're near me!" *hum a little hum*

Oh! Good morning friends! How are you today? Ya know what? It's nearly Valentine's Day! The day for love, hearts and chocolates!

Well, I don't have any chocolates just now, but I do have plenty of love and hearts to share!

Today, the Crafty Collaborations Crew are doing a Valentine's Day Blog Hop to get you in the mood for love! Or at least, to give you some ideas for your Valentines this year! haha.

My card is all about love! Love in layers even! I'm using the Sweet Talk Collection of products in the Spring 2022 Mini Catalog and I just "LOVE" them! So sweet, and beautiful, and full of "LOVE". ;-)

Ok ok! Let's get to the details shall we?

I'm using a Blushing Bride Card base that measures 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and is scored at 4 1/4". I've then layered a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Blushing Bride Cardstock (embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder) onto the front with Stampin' Seal.

The next step is to attach a 3/4" x 5 1/2" strip of the striped Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper (DSP) near the right edge of the card base.

I added a little sparkle from the new Supple Shimmer Paper Pack, using the Scalloped Heart from the Heart Punch Pack. Then, I punched a heart full of hearts out of the DSP using the coordinated Smooth Heart from the pack. The two smaller hearts are die cut using the Sweet Conversations Stamp & Die Bundle. The larger one is from DSP and the smaller is Real Red Cardstock.

The little Happy Valentine's Day banner is a 2 3/4" x 3/8" strip of Basic White Cardstock that I've cut dovetails out of the left end. It's stamped with Memento Black ink and then attached with Stampin' Dimensionals. I also attached the little red heart with a Dimensional as well.

I finished off the card with a few Iridescent Rhinestones. It's nice to have a little bling on Valentine's Day!

There's lots of fun textures on this card front!

On the inside, I attached a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Basic White Cardstock and then stamped "Happy To Have You In My Life" in Memento Ink. I also used the 3 heart stamp from the set and stamped that just under the sentiment in Real Red ink.

And, because I always say "NO NAKED INSIDES AND NO NAKED ENVELOPES", I stamped those hearts across the bottom front of that too. Now I've got a beautiful card and decorated envelope ready to send out to someone special!

I hope you enjoyed today's card. The brick background is one of my absolute FAVORITES. It fits so many themes perfectly! Definitely a MUST HAVE embossing folder!
