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.

  • Bright Borders fun fold with Bloom Impressions DSP


    We made these pretty cards at my Clubs in January.  I featured the Bright Borders stamp set with the To the Point punch and the Sale-a-Bration Bloom Impressions DSP. 

    Unfortunately the To the Point punch is out of stock and isn't expected to be back until April!  I was worried about this when I saw it was in low inventory. 

    The gorgeous Bloom Impressions DSP is a free choice during Sale-a-Bration and is also in low inventory.  If it does run out it's possible they'll turn off the item number if they cannot get more in stock before the end of February.  So grab yours here now! 

    This is a fun fold card – sometimes called a 'back-fold'. The far right inside is scored so it can bend backwards. The greeting layers are adhered to that side and hold the card closed.  It's a great way to show off our coordinating colors in our beautiful designer papers.  


    You can get the measurements in this free project sheet.  Also watch the video below. Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Jan 2025 Bright Borders back fold

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another special fun fold.  I'll share the other card & free project sheet tomorrow. I hope you watch it and don't forget to subscribe to my channel!

  • Spring Corners fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    I totally enjoyed making this neat fun fold card.  It shows off this neat stamp set wonderfully! 

    I wanted to highlight the flower image as well as the neat greeting. I used Stampin' Write markers to color my image before I stamped. 

    Tips on coloring stamps with markers:

    • always us a water-based marker (never a Blends 'permanent' marker)
    • color with the lightest color first so you don't contaminate your tip with a darker color
    • huff on the image before stamping to moisten the inks – this gives a brighter image

    This neat fold starts with an 11" X 4 1/4" card base with a small fold back on the front. Then the DSP layer is added behind it.  

    My colors include Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss or Granny Apple Green and White. The DSP is the Toadstool Gardens and the ribbon is the Fresh Freesia seam binding ribbon – both are from our free Sale-a-Bration choice.
