Free Stamps!! during Sale-a-bration

Who loves free goodies?!! Well, get ready for January 5th because Sale-a-bration starts!! For every $50 of purchased Stampin’ Up! merchandise, you get to pick from a catalog of goodies! I’ve used Corner Bouquet & Heal Your Heart for these cards, and are both from the Sale-a-bration catalog & free!! Isn’t the text font divine ? Book a party and you can get even more free goodies!! These items are available free while supplies last, so don’t delay!

For the Sorry For Your Loss card foliage, I used the larger of the corner bouquets from Corner Bouquets. Instead of an ink pad, I used the Stampin’ Write markers in Blackberry Bliss, Garden Green, Old Olive and Early Espresso. Like with the above card, I use the small leaf foliage stamp and small blossom from the set to fill in areas that were blank. I used Blackberry Bliss ink for the verse using the Heal Your Heart set. The card’s top white layer is 4”x3-1/4”; the Blackberry Bliss layer is 4-1/4”x3-1/2”, and the Garden Green layer is 4-1/2”x3-3/4”. For the white layer embossed with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder, it is 5-1/4”x4”.

This beautiful Thank You card is using the new FREE Corner Bouquet and Heal Your Heart rubber cling stamp sets. I used Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green ink pads for the verse and foliage. I used the smaller of the two corner bouquets, and then used the small leaf foliage stamp and small blossom from the set to fill in areas that had open areas.

I used the 2-3/4” square Stitched Shapes dies for the small white square. I then used a 2-7/8” square in the Garden Green cardstock, and a 3” square in Blackberry Bliss cardstock. Lastly I used the Subtle 3D embossing folder for the 4”x5-1/4” piece. The White ribbon is from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack.

The card to the left is featuring the same two stamp sets and utilizing the new wonderful Blender Brushes! These brushes are absolutely amazing and making the ombre effect super easy to do!!

After inking the foliage with Memento Black ink, I used Old Olive ink with the blender brush. Above it, I used Misty Moonlight ink with the Blender Brush. For the highest area of the sky, I used the blender brush with Blackberry Bliss ink. I used the small blossom with the black ink to fill in areas I wanted to fill in. I used the little dragonfly from the Field Of Flowers stamp set.
