Here you go…another Clean and Simple card for your Wednesday inspiration!!!
I think this is crisp, fun and I adore the colors of a bold pink and grey together! WOWZERS! What is the not to "love" about this card….I think I will use it for a Breast Cancer Card next month!
Before we get to the card….I need to say that you all made me smile yesterday with all of the comments of your favorite color of paper and adhesive….seems like I have "twisted many arms" with using the Multipurpose Glue….it is the BEST BANG for your BUCK!!!!
So…what do you think of the Sale-A-Bration Catalog and the free products!?!?!!! I think that Stampin' Up! really outdid themselves this year! Today's card is showing (3) of the FREE products that you could choose!
Everyday, I am going to give you a suggestion of an idea of a "collection that YOU could put together" to meet that magical dollar amount of $50.00 so you can pick a FREEBIE!!!
Let's get to the card….and then I will share with you "my collection" for today after you see the "in's and out's" of why you popped by!!!!
- LOVE the color….Smokey Slate is the card base in a regular A-2 card size (4 1/4" X 5 1/2") My NEW favorite (well one of them) color – Rose Red (5" X 3 3/4")….it is bright,cheery and FUN!
- Did you notice the embossing folder….it is a WOOT-WOOT embossing folder in my opinion and it is part of the Sale-A -Bration collection and it can be yours FREE with a $50.00 order! I love the texture…the sheer image of "dots" just makes me smile! A quick run through the Big Shot was a breeze!
- The Whisper White is 4 1/4" x 3" and did you notice what I did….out came the Simply Scored and I scored at 1/4" all the way around….doesn't it give you a great effect….remember….SIMPLE WORKS! (Click on the picture to make it larger)
- Banners are HOT….Banners are EVERYWHERE in the industry…..but this little banner is super cute…and surely will bring a smile to your face..again…SIMPLE WORKS! This is another Sale-A-Bration FREEBIE and with a POP from the Banner Punch….another FREEBIE…..(wowzers – aren't the sale-a-bration items fabulous! It is called Banner Blast – one cute stamp set!
- Did you notice the bakers twine? How did I get that color?….well confession of an honest stamper…I need to give YOU some tips so you will not be frustrated! Patience is not my best quality….and I had this great idea….take the white bakers twine and run it over the smokey slate ink pad and make your own twine!!! Well, it works – but let it dry and then run it through a paper towel to get any excess….I know I am a bit "type A" and that's ok – I had some "smears" so let it dry and you'll be good to go!
- I have to STOP and ask you ….isn't this so simple yet so cute!?!? Using Stampin' Dimensionals under the banners is the perfect lift to make this simple card come to life!
- Remember yesterday when it came to the envelope?!?! Today is another example of why I LOVE the Paper Stacks! This liner is from the Regals Designer Series Paper Stack and it is such a "no-brainer" not to have to think about what works…what looks good…all of the guess work is done!
Well…now I ask you….who would not LOVE to receive this card! So fun and uplifting…this is why I know the volunteers are going to LOVE to put this together next month for my Breast Cancer project that I do….I can already hear the "wow's and this is soooo cute".…it is so rewarding and I will look forward to next Wednesday!
Now to the Susan Bundle for today!….Ready?!?!?…Do you remember that yesterday I did a" p.s." about a new product?
Well, YEP – it is already ordered and Stampin' Up! is so "on top of it" as I had a confirmation that it is on it's way to little Williamsport, MD…..it is the Textured Boutique Embossing Machine…..why is it super cool ?
- It is portable
- It is light-weight
- It is small
- The "price is right"
- It is NEW and we all like things that are NEW…..(it will be in the annual catalog but it is onle available now at limited quanities)
Here is my Bundle for the day: $53.80!!! WOOT-WOOT!!!!!
You're done….well….not yet – Go pick a FREEBIE! Remember you can CLICK HERE and order in your jammies!!!
I thank you for your time in popping by and I thank you for your comments!!! Remember, pop by my blog posting yesterday – I have some BLOG CANDY for YOU….click here and view it and YOU can win the blog candy (fingers crossed)
Tomorrow will be another clean and simple card for you….it is super easy and is super cute! Have a FABULOUS day and….
Until tomorrow!
Very nice Susan. I must remember the twine-dying technique. 🙂
Cute card ! And that adorable Banner Punch is my “freebie” pick ! Can`t you just see someone`s name spelled across the card on those cute banners ? As always a fun early morning blog visit !
Well my first order got me six freebies, and the second order got me two more, loaded up on paper punche, folder, and stamp sets, I’m happy, now to play:). Mr Brown will love me, two deliveries in a week. Of course, we are still in Yuma, in the motorhome, and my hubbie is wanting to know where I’m going to put all the new stuff, LOL I’m sure I ‘ll manage somehow:)
Love this Susan!! Gonna have to CASE it! Did you use the Bitty Banners framelits for the smaller banners?
What a fun card!!
Susan, What a cute card. Simple and clean. If you wanted you could put any sentiment on the card or just leave it blank like you have it. You are so amazing. You come up with the cutest cards. I love the banner set and the great tip on the line . Happy Stamping, Ellen Hinds
I hope to get the banner punch too as my freebie. If I had kiddos at home a big banner would be fun but for now, I think I will keep my banners on a card. Popping them up on dimensionals makes it more fun. Did I miss the rationale for how you put the gray ones on one side instead of alternating? Just curious and it probably doesn’t even matter but I was curious. Very cute and loved the colors you chose!
No….I used the NEW FREEBIE punch from Sale-a-bration! It is great!
Hi Chris…I did get you email from the class….sounds like a fun evening! I am not sure what you mean about the grey ones?
Like a pink banner then a gray one, pink, gray on down instead of keeping the two gray ones on the right side and the pinks on the left. Just wondered if it was your personal preference in grouping the colors or what. Just nosey! My mind would have said pink, gray, pink, gray, and pink to display them.
