Soft Seedlings with the new Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes


On yesterday's FB Live I shared 3 cards featuring the new Soft Seedlings stamp set.  The first two featured the new FREE Sale-a-Bration cards & envelopes too.  

These Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam cards & envelopes are a free choice from our new Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here.  I love SAB when we can all get something free with our orders!  Spend a minimum of $50 and pick something absolutely free!  

These cards & envelopes are one of my top picks in the catalog. You can use them for lots of cards in the future! 

The package includes 20 envelopes and 10 each of Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam card bases.  Today's project features the Soft Sea Foam card base. 

You might wonder how I achieved the two-toned look of the leaf. I stamped it first in Soft Sea Foam and removed a bit of the ink on the edges with a sponge dauber.  Then I added Pool Party ink to those same areas. Huff and stamp!   Watch the video here to see how it's done. 

There is a vellum leaf on the stamped leaf for both texture and shimmer.  I sponged the punched leaf (Bough punch), sponged a bit of color and curled the leaves.  Lastly I added Wink of Stella to both leaves for a pretty shimmer effect.  

I trimmed off 1" along the bottom edge of the card base and adhered it to the inside. 

Then I cut a white scalloped edge using the Contour Scalloped dies.  I textured the 1 1/4" Pool Party card stock strip with the Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder seen here.  I LOVE this folder!  I attached the embossed layer to the scalloped White trim and then adhered to the card front.

The 'hello' is stamped on a die-cut from the Tea Cup dies and added over two bows; one with Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon and another with White twine.  

Click on the video below to watch how it's made along with two other cards using this stamp set.

  • 3 unique techniques on these pretty swap cards


    I'll be sharing our July Flowerbug Team swaps this week and next.  Our theme was to create our own backgrounds.  They came up with some amazing ideas.  I absolutely LOVE seeing their creativity and style.  

    First is a monochromatic card by Annette. I bet you'll never guess how she did this special background…..

    She used Orchid Oasis and Boho Blue ink spots and dragged the ink across her white card stock. One color in each direction.  I was shocked at how pretty and evenly colored it is. I think it looks like denim. It's the perfect way to highlight the pretty die-cut. I'm going to try this myself soon! 

    Her greeting is heat embossed with White embossing powder on a die-cut from this bundle.  

    She used the Wonderful Thoughts bundle seen here.

    Next is a pretty card that Monica made with the Color & Contour stamp set & Scalloped Contour dies. 

    She created a blended and masked background using Orchid Oasis and Daffodil Delight.  She added a bit of Pool Party on the flower and the card base too.  I love these colors together!

    And lastly today is a unique technique by Lori. I'm not sure I've done this one! Can you guess how she did it….?  

    She first scored her White card stock about 1" apart, on the diagonal. Then she folded the card stock on each score line and sponged Balmy Blue ink on each fold.  I know I've never done this one; at least in my memory I haven't.  So cool and very precise too!  

    She used the Circle Sayings bundle for her greeting & punch. The bird is water-colored with our watercolor pencils. 

    She used the new Bird's Eye View stamp set seen here.  She also stamped her envelope.  

    Stop back in for more Team swaps tomorrow!
