This is the best time of year to get crafty as Stampin' Up! is in full swing with their Sale a Bration (SAB) promotion. What could be more fun then getting together with friends for fun, stamping, lots of laughs and FREE product!? For every $60 spent you can choose something free from the Sale a Bration Catalogue, and this year they are not only offering stamps and a few accessories. There are lots of different accessories including paper, brads, buttons, Big Shot Embossing Folders, and even some fabric!
Shelli Gardner Co-founder and Ceo of Stampin' Up! is hosting a SAB Creative Challenge this month on her blog so here is a quick and easy card using the FREE SAB Exclusive Elementary Elegance stamp set that will be one of the cards at my February and March Workshops:
This 3x6 card will fit inside Stampin' Up!'s Open Ended Envelopes. I started with a 6x6 square of Textured Basic Gray and folded it in half. Next I stamped the frame image in Basic Gray Classic Ink, because of the textured paper the image will not be perfect with gives it a nice vintage feel. A strip of DSP from the Twitterpated pack and some Cherry Cobbler Card stock that was punched using the Scallop Edge Punch adds a pop of colour. Of course I had to add one of my absolute favourite new products- Pleated Satin Ribbon in Blushing Bride. On either end of the ribbon I added a punch flower with a Pearl Jewel, and for the sentiment it was stamped in Basic Black Classic Ink then punched out with the Curly Label Punch (which happens to fit perfectly inside the framed image-gotta LOVE that!) To finish the card off I gave it a few spritzes with a Basic Gray Marker and Colour Spritzer Tool. In hindsight I probably would have done this before adding the ribbon:)
There you have it a quick and easy but elegant card! I would love to help you and your friends create this card and show you all the wonderful products Stampin' Up! has to offer. Be sure to contact me to book your SAB workshop or private class.
