Elementary Elements – Sale-a-Bration ends today!
Today is the last day of Sale-a-Bration 2012! This cute 3″ x 3″ card with coordinating envelope was made using a few of the items that you can earn free. The envelope was made using Everyday Enchantment Designer Series paper (126154). In case you missed my previous post that shows you how to create an envelope with theSimply Scored tool and Diagonal Plate just click here.
The 3″x 3″ card base is made from Pool Party cardstock with a 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″ layer of Calypso Coral cardstock. The image from the Elementary Elements stamp set (125120 w/ 125122 clear) was stamped with Island Indigo and Pool Party ink onto a 2 1/2″ x 2 1/2″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.
**A tip for using the Elementary Elements stamp set:
When you assemble your stamp set make sure the keep the center punch out from your main image. You can then use it to create a color block inside of your main image like I did on the card above.
Paper Doily Sizzlits Die
There is just over a month left for the Occasions mini catalog from Stampin’ Up! One of the most popular items from this catalog has been the Paper Doily die (125592). Today I am sharing a great video by the Stampin’ Up! home office featuring Carrie Cudney. I love attending Stampin’ Up! events such as Convention and Regional seminars as Carrie is usually one of the presenters. She is so knowledgable and I always love her tips and tricks! In this video Carrie demonstrates a really fun card using the Paper Doily die. Enjoy!
