Stampin Stray Ducklings Summer Sale-A-Bration!

Welcome to our monthly Blog Waddle! It’s July and Sale-A-Bration just began on July1st! It runs through August 31st!! You may have arrived here from Lori Helvick’s blog.  Following me is Kim Baker’s blog.

I picked the Wonderful World Bundle (#159918) which includes the Wonderful World stamp set and the Wonderful World 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (DSP). All of this is free with a $100 order during Sale-A-Bration! The card base is Melon Mambo cut with the fun-fold corner-flip. The front and inside of the card feature the Wonderful World DSP. The square on the front is cut from Mint Macaron with the largest square from Stylish Shapes Dies (#159183). It is stamped with the leaves from the stamp set in Mint Macaron. The flower is colored with Stampin’ Write Markers on Whisper White and cut out with Layering Circles Dies (#151770). The sentiment from Happiness Abounds (#159238) is stamped in Melon Mambo on Whisper White and punched out with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch (#152883).

Here’s the inside of my card!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop – Celebrating Birthdays!

Welcome to our 1st Paper Crafting Blog Hop of 2022 with Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the world! Each demonstrator is featuring projects for birthdays!

You may have arrived here from Sandra’s blog. She had a great project! My card features the Friendly Hello Bundle – yes BUNDLE – from the 2022 Sale-A-Bration brochure – yes Sale-A-Bration – meaning it’s free with a $100 order!! The bundle includes the Friendly Hello photopolymer stamp set and the Friendly Hello 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (DSP).

The card base is Basic White with a layer of the DSP on it. Then a smaller piece of Vellum Card Stock (#101856), stamped with images in Jet Black Stazon Ink (#101406) was added. This is the ink you want to use on porous surfaces, like vellum. Then I stamped the bird on a branch image in Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708) on Basic White and colored it lightly with alcohol markers. The sentiment from this wonderful SAB set is stamped in Pool Party. All images were adhered carefully with the adhesive hidden behind the solid pieces of the card. Three Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels were added for a little bling!

We are 2 weeks into Sale-A-Bration, time to look through the annual and mini catalogs and order what you must have and earn free products!
