CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Favorite SaleABration Product

 Good Morning, Stampers!

The Create with Stampin' Friends team is excited

to share some of our favorite Sale-A-Bration 

items with you this week! 

I was so excited to see the Starstruck embossing folder as 

a FREE item! I love adding texture to my projects and these little

star explosions are perfect for any celebration! I added a few 

balloons, ribbon and bling to really get the party started!

To create the background, I blended a little color onto 

a piece of  Basic White cardstock using a blending brush.

Then, I placed the piece into the embossing folder and ran

it thru the machine. Finally, I swiped my Craft White ink pad

on the raised areas and allowed it to dry completely.

You can see from the finished card how

it highlights the details in the raised areas!

SU!pplies:

Stamps: Filled with Fun

Ink: Tuxedo Black, Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Craft White

Paper: Basic White, Azure Afternoon, Basic Black, Bright and Beautiful DSP

Accessories: Black/Vanilla checked ribbon, Starstruck embossing folder, Filled with Love dies, tinsel Gems

rubberFUNatics Weekly Challenge #325

 Good Morning, Stampers!

(click photo to enlarge)

Thanks so much for joining for this week's

rubberFUnatics Weekly Challenge! 

I love the heart in the sketch - it can be used as

2 layered hearts or as a framed heart - giving you many

possibilities! Which do you prefer??

I combined some old with some new for this card.
First, I stamped the background using the NEW 
Elements of Texts stamp set from the Online Exclusives
Collection. I then added the heart frame using the Hearts
of Elegance dies. The flowers are from the Spotlight on
Nature stamp set from the Annual catalog and sentiments
are from the Keeping Tabs bundle also from the Annual 
Catalog. I love how well they all work together!

SU!pplies:
Stamps: Spotlight on Nature, Elements of Text, Keeping Tabs

Ink: Craft White, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso

Paper: Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Regal Distressed DSP

Accessories: Hearts of Elegance dies, Keeping Tabs die, Cherry Cobbler/Gold ribbon

Stampin' Blends: Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow

Thanks so much for joining me this week!
