Celebrating Sale-a-Bration, Day 5

 Still on a roll with all the Sale-a-Bration products!  Since SAB is coming to an end at the end of the month, I've been featuring many of the FREE products available during this special time of the Stampin' UP! year, when every $60 purchase enables you to choose a FREE item of your choice!

Today I've made a card almost entirely out of SAB products. 


There are 3 FREE items here:  Starstruck embossing folder, Fruit Salad designer paper and (this one is not to be believed!) Alphabet A La Mode dies!  Yes!  FREE alphabet dies!  


I started with two pieces of the Fruit Salad DSP.  Although the front sides of the pages in this pack feature fruits, the back sides of many have patterns, like these polka dot and red patterns.  Fun to mix and match!

Then I took a piece of Basic White, ran it through my Cut & Emboss machine with the FREE Starstruck embossing folder, and wrapped it in ribbon.  


And then those dies!  Such a classic letter shape!  Just a piece of Adhesive Sheet on the back help to easily adhere them to all your projects.  


Sale-a-Bration will be ending soon.  So if you haven't picked up your FREE products, don't wait!  I'd hate for you to miss out!  And be sure to check out these additional FREE products!

Simple Scoring

Want to see a really cool, easy, fast and sophisticated technique that will take your cards to the "next level"?

Check out the score lines on this card:


 When your entire focus of the card fits into a small section, add some score lines above and below.  This draws the eye towards your focal point, and takes up a little of the blank space without detracting from what you want to say.


I started with a piece of Basic White cardstock, 3-3/4" x 5".  I knew what stamps I was going to use and laid them out on my paper (not yet stamping them).  This just gave me an idea of how much room I needed to take up.


Then I flipped my cardstock upside down and used my paper trimmer to score at 1/8" intervals at the top, (1/2" from the top) and at 1/4" intervals from the bottom (1/2" from the bottom).  When I turned my cardstock right-side-up, the lines were popped out.

The greeting is from a new stamp set, Happy Little Things, that will be available on March 4th through the OnLine Exclusives.  I used my Misty to line up the inside "CELEBRATE" and stamped it with Lost Lagoon.  Then I lined up the outline, and stamped it with Pretty Peacock.

My little cake is from Hooray for Surprises.  I used my Stampin' Write markers to color the top with Calypso Coral, the middle with Melon Mambo, and the cake stand with Pretty Peacock.  Then I used the coordinating dies to cut it out.


The little candle/flame was stamped directly on the cardstock and the cake was popped up on Dimensionals.  The background DSP is from the Hello Irresistible paper pack.  

So the next time you need to take up a little space on your card front, try scoring it!


Sale-a-Bration is nearly over - just two more days to catch some FREE stamps, paper, accessories and even Stampin' Write markers with every $50 purchase.  Don't lose out!
