Layered Petal Parade Birthday

 

This set is perfect for this layered card technique.  It looks far more complicated than it is.  You can see the Strawberry Slush and Whisper White cardstock are cut in graduated sizes.  To stamp the images, use a small amount of adhesive to stick the 3 white pieces together.  Stamp the images while the pieces are stacked.  It will look messy on the edges because it's not completely flat.  No worries - when you layer with the Strawberry Slush, those flaws are covered nicely. 

I used my new favorite color combination of Rich Razzleberry, Strawberry Slush, and Sahara Sand and the Sale-a-bration Petal Parade stamp set.  I paired it with Sassy Salutations which I recently learned is one of my customers' favorite set of words.

Banner Blast Food and Wine Festival

Last fall I went to visit a friend in Florida, and by coincidence I flew into Orlando on the last weekend of the Epcot Food and Wine Festival.  We decided to check it out, and I am so glad we did.  The weather was perfect and we spent the day eating and drinking our way around the world and having a great time.  In addition to the countries you can normally wander in and out of, they had kiosks set up and we had food and drink choices from 30 different countries. I ate way too much, but I must say everything was delicious, and I plan to go again someday!

I knew I was going to use the Sale-a-bration Banner Blast stamp set for a scrapbook layout, but these colors were unexpected.  I made a card with them and loved the end result so I decided to make it into a 2 page 12 x 12 layout.  They were perfect for the coloring on the sign and matched the festiveness of the day.

Live Happy

 

This Live Happy is from my Sale-a-bration You're Lovely stamp set.  It was an extra piece and I wanted to make a quick card with it instead of toss it into my scrap pile.  I fancied it up by running a piece of crisp cantaloupe ruffle stretch trim around on the back side and turned the piece I planned to mount it on perpendicular.

Petal Parade

 

I wanted to use a new Sale-a-bration set for last week's stamp-a-stack, and it was the perfect set to help beat the winter blahs with this springy card.  We used some of the newest in-colors and added a couple of butterflies.

You're Lovely Flower Pot

 

I saw these little flower pots and I knew the shape was perfect for the modern deco labels framelit.  Better yet, I could use the Sale-a-bration (starts today!!) You're Lovely stamp set to decorate the top.  I took the cardboard wrapper off and traced it on a piece from the Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper and reassemble for a few appreciation gifts for some of my stamping friends.

You're Lovely Birthday

Sale-a-bration starts Tuesday!  I have been using the You're Lovely stamp set a lot - one of my favorite sets!  Using a blender pen to color the flowers makes this a set with endless possibilities.  I also use the Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the occasions catalog to add some texture and interest to this card.
