The Sale-a-bration paper called, Irresistibly Yours Specialty Designer Series has been a huge hit this season and we only have 6 days left to take advantage of this goodie. (I know that I have a stash of it as wowzers – it is so fun)
Today's card is a super fun, festive and quick card that come together in no time and it is just one fun technique – I hope that you try it. The inspiration came from a video that Patty Bennett has on You Tube and I was excited to try it!
The best tip that I can give to you is to use a stamp set that gives you lots of ink coverage. Today I am using the Build A Bouquet Photopolymer Stamp Set. The (2) flowers that I used were nice and big so it allowed lots of ink to saturate onto the paper and then I used a sponge to burnish the ink in.
This is a really BIG stamp set and "background" style stamps are fun….I am going to play with them next to share a project with you! I let the sentiment today be the focal point!
The best tip I can give you is to have fun experimenting with all sorts of colors. I am really finding that I am loving Calypso Coral, it really gives you a fun pop of color. The other color I used was Crushed Curry…it always produces a bold, strong color but it is still bright (hope that makes sense)
Isn't this sentiment beautiful. I think that the font is fabulous and the little heart at the end is so special! I popped it out with a 2 1/2" circle punch and off set it with another one….I think that makes a quick POP.
Another product that I adore is the seam binding ribbon. I was thrilled that Stampin' Up came out with more colors….we now have 12 colors of this great ribbon! For a bow challenged person, this is your dream! I will be offering a Paper and Ribbon Share with the new catalog once it is unveiled!
Carrying out the theme of the card, I did the same treatment to the back flap of the envelope! To me it is a perfect finishing touch and please have no worries, the ink will not smear. I just used the mono glue to place it and once it dried, I cut away the excess!
There are butterflies all around this year in the craft world and I think that this little guy is very cute and wow – it is super easy to fussy cut out. A "glue dot" does the trick….again!
I know that it has been super hard to keep track of all of the Sale-a-bration products, but below you can click here and see everything in one place (I love being a PAL – so much talent out there and I appreciate this piece)
I would love for you to be on this fun journey with me, how about a test drive..I have never met someone that doesn't love and appreciate a sale….$125.00 of products for $99.00….free shipping….2 free sale-a-bration items….what's the not to love?
Please feel free to email me about the fun or if you have any questions about today's card….or if you are ready to click here….I say go for it – you'll love the fun we have – the PALS are the best and we would LOVE to have you in the family!
Until tomorrow….
p.s. – here is the card/stamper that won the personal challenge this week! Soooo cute! It is a great and safe way to create a fun and classic card…just use the same shape in multiples – you just can't go wrong!!!

Susan, thanks for sharing your great ideas. Does the paper that you adhere to the back of the envelope flap get damaged in the mail? Thanks!
Another beautiful card Susan! Love the colors! I just discovered Calypso Coral and I am loving it.
What a eye-catching card! I love this technique. Thanks for the idea.
So surprised to see my card on your blog; made my day for sure, Susan! Thank you for your talent and challenges each week! I love the way you created this card by stamping and sponging the dp! What a neat idea I hadn’t thought of! I also like the off-set partial circle under the sentiment~
