Paper Crafting Blog Hop – Sale-A-Bration!

So happy you are checking out our February Paper Crafting Monthly Blog Hop with Independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator has created projects using Sale-A-Bration products! Below my card is a list of links to all of the participating bloggers. Here’s a little preview of my card:

My card features the Flight & Airy DSP (#162977)! The card base is Bubble Bath with a layer of Masterfully Made DSP (#161192). Then a slightly smaller piece of Vellum Cardstock (#101856) embossed with the lovely embossing folder from the Softly Sophisticated Bundle (#162947). Then a piece of the Flight & Airy DSP (#162977) die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183). I cut a scrap of Basic White with another die from the Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183) for the sentiment. Did you know you can adjust the length of a die cut to fit the sentiment you want to use? I stamped the sentiment and then cut one end with the die and then went to the other end and adjusted the placement of the die to make it equal to the other end. Then I added a Bubble Bath adhesive-backed dot from the Rainbow Adhesive-Backed Dots (#162758). I finished my card with a bow from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack (#155475)
