Awesome Sale-a-Bration Team card swap samples


We held our monthly Team swap and meeting this weekend.  As usual my gals created fabulous cards to share with each other.  

First is a rainbow of carrots card made by Karen.  She used the Thanks a Bunch stamp set.  It's a free choice during our Sale-a-Bration promotion; yours with any $50 purchase of Stampin' Up! products. 

Rainbow carrots are one of the fun food trends right now; she did it proud!  She used the Stamparatus to stamp her carrots, repositioning the card stock on her mat each time so the two step stamps lined up perfectly.  Genius!  I plan to share her technique soon.  

She used the new Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here, new Pastel Adhesive-Backed sequins, the Deckled Rectangle dies and the new Happy Labels Pick a Punch for her greeting.

Ginny made this pretty card with the Beautifully Happy stamp set; also from Sale-a-Bration. 

It's a beautiful 2-step stamp set that is also distinktive; which means it gives two tones of ink on one stamping.  My favorite types of stamp hands down! 

Her colors are Fresh Freesia, Old Olive and Black. She added that soft layer of Vellum too!

Measurements are: 

Card base 4 1/4" X 11", White – 3" X 4 1/8", Black 3 1/8" X 4 1/4" and Vellum is 3 5/8" X 4 3/4"

Jane brought this cute card to share and I had to show you.  She used the Adorable Owls stamp set; another Sale-a-Bration choice that's free with a $50 purchase from now through February 28th. *see everything free here

Can you see what is so unique about it?  

The Owl tag is loose and can be removed from the card front.  It is caught on the horizontal greeting banner that is only anchored at the outer edges.  I love this idea!  You could add a bookmark in the same way.  

Her colors are Calypso Coral with Fresh Freesia.

  • Honey Bee with Golden Honey Designer Paper


    I know some people do not like yellow but I always have.  When I was young I chose to a yellow and orange them for my bedroom!  (The walls were yellow and the only orange were in accents so it wasn't too garish!)

    When yellow is paired with Black and White it's a happy and striking color combination in my opinion!  

    Here I used Daffodil Delight with the pretty Golden Honey Designer series paper.  It's one of the free choices during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  I was thrilled to see another black and white designer paper in the offering this year!  You can pair it with just about any color!  It also has gold foil accents on many of the sheets.  click here to see it.

    My gals made this card at my New Catalog Stamp a Stack this last Saturday.  The new Honey Bee bundle coordinates with this paper beautifully.  

    Measurements:

    • Daffodil Delight main card – 5 ½” X 8 ½” scored at 4 ¼”

  • Fun Latch Fold card with Music From the Heart


    I had to use my friend Dawn Olchefske's new stamp set for January club. It's the set she designed for her million dollars in sales achievement!  It's a fabulous music themed set called Music From the Heart.  Look!

    Look at this fun latch fold card!

     

    The Classic Label punch is perfect to create the 'latch' for this card closure.  We did have to widen the opening a bit by punching off to the side an extra 1/4" on each side as I wanted a larger front layer than the punch allows for.  If you watch the video below you'll see what I am referring to.  

    I decided to offer a choice of card themes for my gals; Valentines, Anniversary and Birthday.  I used the Heart to Heart set for the Valentine's greeting. This pretty foiled paper is called From the Heart specialty designer paper.  You can see it here. 

    Did you know that you can 'play or stamp' Happy Birthday with the individual notes in this set?  Isn't that the best idea ever?! Although creating a 'guitar' from two stamps in this set is even more clever! If you have a musical person in your life you need this set! 

    Be sure to watch my video to see how to make this fun fold card.  It's amazingly easy! 

    Measurements:

    • Real Red 4 1/4" X 8 3/4" scored at 5 1/2"
      White inside 4" X 5 1/4", front and inside flaps 2" X 3 3/4"
      Black 2 1/4" X 8" scored at 4"
      From My Heart Specialty DSP 3" X 4"

  • Sponge Brayer on an embossing folder? Cool effect!


    Have you ever used a sponge brayer?  Did you even know we carry them?  We do!  On page 181 of the annual catalog. Click here to see them. 

     

    I used Pool Party ink and the sponge brayer to add ink to the flat side of the Parisian Flourish embossing folder seen here.  Then I inserted my card stock or envelope flap into the folder and ran it through the machine.  Super easy!  Then just rinse the ink off your embossing folder when you're done.  Our ink colors are water based so it comes off easily. 

    Click below to watch the video; it's at the end of this one below:

    I used another 'stitched heart' on the front of this card using the Heart Doilies seen here. The few die-cuts are from the Stitched Be Mine set of dies in the annual catalog. See those here. 

    I shared how to do this stitched heart doily in a previous FB live video.  Click here to see it.  It took me about 8 minutes to stitch and I do NOT stitch by hand much at all. Maybe once a year.  That should tell you it's easy!
