Today we have my fourth and final (for now) post featuring the Embossing Paste and the Pattern Party Decorative Masks, but first I want to share a special that’s going on in the month of July!
Last year was the first year Stampin’ up! did this kind of promotion and it was wildly successful so I know you’ll want to take advantage of it again this year. For every $50 (before shipping & tax) you order between July 1st – July 31st you’ll get a $5 Bonus Days Coupon from Stampin’ Up! that you can use August 1st – August 31st!
Ho, ho, ho! The Christmas in July promotion makes it easier than ever to sign up to be a demonstrator! As a new recruit, you’ll will receive a FREE Essentials Gift Pack including Paper Snips, SNAIL Adhesive, Grid Paper, two D Blocks (one for you and one for a stamping friend!), and a Bone Folder. That’s an added value of $52 and to give you a taste of the perks of being a demonstrator, Stampin’ Up! will also include the Carols of Christmas Stamp Set from the holiday catalog (you can see the bundle below, but only the stamp set is included in the starter kit) for FREE ($20 value)! With so many basic items provided for you, you’ll be able to get your brand, new business off to a fast start—and spend your Starter Kit dollars on things like your favorite stamp sets and accessories! Let me know if you may be interested and I can answer any questions you might have.
Okay, now back to today’s featured card….
I put a little embossing paste on waxed paper and added a couple drops of Sahara Sand Reinker to color the paste. Next I spread a thin coat of it over the “brick” mask. I love the thought of being able to color the paste any color I want. It opens the door to so many possibilities.
Today’s Color Palette
After falling in love with the Night of Navy Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon (you can see that post HERE), I knew I wanted to play with it a bit more, so today’s card has the same ribbon in Berry Burst. The watering can and the bouquet of flowers with the sentiment comes from the Grown with Love Bundle, which features the Grown with Love stamp set and the coordinating Garden Grown Framelits. I mean really, how adorable is this?…and the fact that you can save 10% when you purchase the bundle really makes it a winner!
