Still Counting Down Sale-a-Bration

Here is another card made using the wonderful Sale-a-Bration products.  This idea was cased from another SU! demonstrator, but I don't remember who.  If it's you, please let me know so that I can give proper credit.

It starts with a piece of 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Crumb Cake card stock.  One 5-1/2" edge is punched using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch, placing the scallop in the middle.  Trim the excess card stock, then score from the trimmed edge at 1" and 4-3/8".  Decorate with Designer Series Paper (here I used Sweet Sorbet) and an embellishment.  I used flowers punched using the Petite Petals and Pansy punches.  They were embossed using the Sizzix Big-Shot and the Decorative Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  (Thanks to my friend Kathy Howes for the flower.)

Here is the inside of the card.  It closes with a small velcro dot.  The finished size measures 5-1/2" x 3-3/8".

Thanks again for stopping by!  Don't miss out on your chance to get these wonderful products.  Check out my online store!

Another Throw-back Thursday

It's Thursday, so that means another throw-back, Stampin' Up! style!

Here is a card I made back in 2006.  The image is from one of the hostess stamp sets at the time,  Baskets Full of Fun.

To re-make the layout, I chose a 2014 Sale-a-Bration stamp set, See Ya Later.  It's available starting this next Tuesday, January 28th!

I didn't have any Melon Mambo ribbon, so I made my own using a piece of Whisper White 3/8" Taffeta ribbon, some Melon Mambo re-inker, rubbin alcohol, and an Aqua Painter.  It's a quick and easy way to color ribbon!
