Summer Sale-a-Bration 2022 – Rings Love DSP card

Leave a comment July 8, 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 card was created using the Rings of Love DSP (FREE with a $60CAD purchase) and the Cup of Tea bundle.

I used Blender Pens to create a soft, faux watercolour look on the teacup and stamped off the ink on the sentiment and flowers to get a softer colour as well.

This FREE Rings of Love DSP has a wide variety of images for all seasons. Stampin’ Up! has also created a lot of samples in the SAB brochure pairing it with the Ringed With Nature bundle.

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

Summer Sale-a-Bration 2022 – Making Plans Silver & Gold DSP card

Leave a comment July 4, 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 card was created using two SAB items! The Silver & Gold 6×6 DSP (FREE with a $60CAD purchase) and the Making Plans stamp set (Part of the Making Plans Collection that you will receive for FREE when you purchase the Starter Kit for only $135CAD). It was inspired by the TGIF Colour Challenge (tgifc375).

These soft colours mixed with the Silver DSP made me think of a pastel watermelon. I love this combo – it is great for a hazy summer day. This card is also a great one to have on hand – especially if you are hosting your first Stampin’ Party with friends and family 🙂

Here is a close up of the Silver & Gold 6X6 DSP. Use it as is, or add some colour to it with your blending brushes. The metallics are a great added detail to any card.

This is the full Making Plans Collection that you will receive for FREE in your Starter Kit, along with $165 in product of your choice, a past Paper Pumpkin kit, catalogues, and business supplies. Even if you just want to be a Savvy Shopper not run a business, this is an incredible deal! Plus you’ll get 20% off your future orders and during Sale-a-bration demos can earn SAB rewards AND product credit for their sales/purchases. Contact me for more info or Join Now.

As soon as I saw this colour combo I thought of the fantastic Waves of Inspiration stamp set that Stampin’ Up! just released. I paired it up with the limited time only Waves of the Ocean 12X12 DSP and since the beautiful Waves Rhinestones are sold out – I used my dark Bermuda Bay Stampin’ Blends to colour some of our Basic Rhinestone Jewels.

I love the way those coloured rhinestones sparkle on the card front.

Although you can find the Waves of Inspiration stamp set in our up coming Annual catalogue – the DSP is limited edition and will be going away on May 2nd! Make sure to grab yours now!
