This is it: The Final day of Sale-a-bration 2017

Stampin' Up! Avant Garden stamp set, Sale-a-bration 2017, Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack, Stampin' Studio

Sale-a-bration started on January 4th and today, March 31st, is the final day.  Since Sale-bration started and especially over the past 10 days I’ve been sharing many creations using the fabulous Sale-a-bration items that can be earned.  Today I’m sharing one of the most popular Sale-a-bration items: The Avant garden stamp set.  This 10 piece stamp set has beautiful stemmed flowers, flowers that you can build piece by piece and some wonderful sentiments.  I’ve also paired it with the Metallic Ribbon, which is also a Sale-a-bration item, and comes in a combo pack of silver with white (as shown on this card) and Vanilla with Gold.

Let’s take a Closer Look

Stampin' Up! Avant Garden stamp set, Sale-a-bration 2017, Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack, Stampin' Studio

The first stem for this card was to attach the Metallic Ribbon around the Whisper White cardstock.  next I layered various circles which were die cut with a variety of sizes from the Stitched Shapes Framelits and the 2″ Circle Punch.  Next, I stamped the flower image in Stazon, first directly on the Whisper White background and then again on a circle I die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits.  After coloring the flower in this the Wisteria Wonder Stampin’ Write Marker and the stem in the Pear Pizzazz marker, I added dimensionals to the back of the circle image and popped it up of .  The final step was to stamp the sentiment.

Stampin’ Studio Tips

  • Tip:  Keep with a simple theme (in this case circles) to make for an interesting layout.  I used Statches Shapes Framelits, The 2″ Circle Punch and even a circle shaped embellishment from the Regals Enamel Shapes.
  • Sizes: Elegant Eggplant cardstock base is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″.  Whisper White cardstock is 4″ x 5-1/4″.   I also used scraps of Elegant Eggplant card stock, Whisper White Cardstock and Elegant Eggplant Floral print from the Regals Designer Series Paper Stacks for the various circles.

Let’s Hear it for the Graduates!

Stampin' Up!, Reverse Words stamp set, Sale-a-bration 2017, B.Y.O.P stamp set, Stampin' Studio

Graduation time is just around the corner, so why not get ahead by creating your graduation cards early.  My town’s school colors are Red, White and Black, but you could easily change out the colors to fit your school colors.  I used the Reverse Words stamp set (a FREE Sale-a-bration choice with a $50 order) for the “hooray” image, while the other sentiment comes from the B.Y.O.P stamp set, which stands for “Buy Your Own Present”.

Stampin' Up!, Reverse Words stamp set, Sale-a-bration 2017, B.Y.O.P stamp set, Stampin' Studio

The Hooray from Reverse Words is stamped in Real red ink and the “white word” is actually the white cardstock showing through.  Notice the little Silver stars I added for a bit of bling.  These are the Metallic Enamel Shapes which come in silver and gold and have stars, hearts and 2 sizes of circles.  I finished off the card with some of the Sending Love Ribbon Combo Pack since it comes in our school colors – how perfect.

Stampin’ Studio Tips

  • Tip:  The placement of the stars from Metallic Enamel Shapes adds a bit of interest and contrast to the straight lines of the ribbons on the left side of the acrd.
  • Sizes: Real Red cardstock base is 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″.  Basic Black cardstock is 4″ x 5-1/4″.  Whisper White cardstock is 3-3/4″ x 5″
