Sale-A-Bration Coordination Promotion - Artisan Design Team Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to another Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! We are all excited to share some amazing products that are premiering and are available to order for demonstrators today! These products will be available for customers starting March 1st. So now would be a great time to join the Stampin' Up! family. Not only could you get these items a month earlier, you can take advantage of this amazing opportunity with bonuses to your personalized Starter Kit only available during Sale-A-Bration.

There are several great products being released that coordinate perfectly with existing Sale-A-Bration product rewards and a few new SAB offerings as well. I was lucky enough to be chosen to work with the More Than Words Stamp Set (150069) and Story Label Punch (150076). I am a little bit obsessed with rainbows lately so I decided to utilize the 2018-2020 In Colours. These colours just make me happy!

I created both a card and a little treat bag with a tag created using the featured Story Label Punch.

Here you can see some of the many sentiments that come in the More Than Words Stamp set. I chose to just use this set and combine the "Birthday" with the "Wishes", but there are many phrases in this set that perfectly coordinate with several current Sale-A-Bration offerings, like So Hoppy Together and Hello Cupcake.

To create the fun rainbow background I used Glossy Paper, Versamark Ink, all 5 In Colours and Sponge Daubers. I first stamped the wishes using Versamark ink on the Glossy Paper several times to create a background. Then I used Sponge Daubers, one in each colour of ink. Next I swiped and rubbed the ink across the paper in rainbow order. The cool thing about using Versamark on Glossy Paper then inking over it, is that the versamark words or images resist the colour. This creates a ghosting effect and is a really cool easy technique to share. I would suggest definitely using the Sponge Daubers and not just sponges, for me that was a disaster, lol. I had inky fingers for days! Also I suggest you take a piece of paper towel after inking to remove any extra ink from the background.

For the card sentiment I stamped the "wishes" in Blueberry Bushel Ink then stamped the wishes bottom portion image in Tuxedo Black Momento Ink on top. Lastly the "Birthday" was stamped using Whisper White Craft Ink. For the treat label I used the Sponge Daubers again with the inks and swiped them across the Glossy Paper. The sentiment was stamped using Versamark but this time I heat embossed it with Whisper White Embossing Powder. Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots were added as a finishing touch.

Now it's time for you to visit the next blog on the hop. Kaylee van Es is amazingly talented and I am sure you will love what she has created.
