Summer Sale-a-bration 2022 – Amazing Phrasing and the Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards and Envelopes (Day 4 & 5)

2 Comments July 6, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

It’s the BEST time of year to shop at Stampin’ Up! – SALE-a-bration!!! For every $60CAD you spend you can earn FREE SAB items!

Today’s post actually shows you 3 cards. (I got busy with summer activities (paddle boarding, badminton and camp fires) yesterday and did not have time to post).

All three of the cards I created loosely follow the great card sketch from Global Design Project (#GDP350)

My Tuesday card was created using a new bundle and a Sale-A-Bration item! The Ringed With Nature bundle and the Amazing Phrasing SAB stamp set.

The SALE-a-bration brochure also has a bunch of Amazing Phrasing ideas for you!

To see all the details of how I created this card, check out this video. You will also find a full supply list below.

My Wednesday cards were created using the Happiness Abounds bundle and the Pool Party and Soft Seafoam Cards & Envelopes SAB item.

The SALE-a-bration brochure has some samples using these cards and envelopes – paired with the Splendid Day Suite.

The first card I made was the Soft Seafoam card – featuring some Water Colour blooms – since it is World Water Colour Month.

The second card used Stampin’ Blends and was inspired by Creative Colour Challenges (CCC#44)

Happiness Abounds – Colour Challenge card

Leave a comment June 29, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This Wednesday I created with the Happiness Abounds Bundle – a set I am featuring since I am also hosting a Hues of Happiness Stamp Camp with my team in July – see all the details and register HERE or through the link below.

Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge # 392 – Sketch Challenge

1 Comment June 28, 2022 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

This week’s Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge is a versatile Sketch Challenge. Take a look at all the beautiful cards created by our design team and then join the challenge.

I used a wide range of pinks to create this card. Blushing Bride cardstock, Melon Mambo Ink, Polished Pink Opal Rounds, and Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon. Not to mention the Flirty Flamingo blooms cut fromt he Hues of Happiness DSP. The stamp set I used for the sentiment was Happiness Abounds from the brand new 2022-2023 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue.

To add some interest to the background of this card I applied Melon Mambo Ink in a small circular motion using a Blending Brush – then I Picked up some Melon Mambo Ink with a Water Paper and splattered it across the embossed and inked background piece. The ribbon and opals add just the right amount of sparkle to the painted blooms.
