Sale-a-bration BEGINS TODAY!!!!! And I am so loving these Sale-a-bration 2013 goodies!!

Pretty Petites SAB and Wacky Wishes stamp sets
Tangerine Tango, Pool Party and Island Indigo FFIP
Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Pool Party and Island Indigo card stock
Sycamore Street DSP SAB
Petite Curly Label Punch SAB
Big Shot and Labels Collection Framelits
Festive Paper Piercing Pack
Piercing Tool (aka pokey doodle) and mat
Rhinestone jewels
Island Indigo Bakers twine
Stampin’ Dimensionals

This card is substantially CASEd from a talented stamper and I PROMISE I made a note of the image but it has evaporated!! I pinned it! I know I did! The pinner’s black hole must have eaten it up. I changed the background dsp and a few other minor elements, but this design belongs to someone else.

And isn’t it cute? If you tweaked the colors a little more it would be an excellent man-card, but I think it’s reasonably gender-neutral as it is. When you put it together, poke a small hole on the right side of the DSP and thread the Bakers Twine through without cutting it off. Tie a bow, then drape the long tail across the card front and secure it. Your sentiment will cover that end, and your Petite Curly Label punches can go on dimensionals right over it.

Now go make a card – any card!!

Only ONE You

This is my favorite sentiment from the Vintage Verses Sale-a-bration stamp set:

Vintage Verses SAB stamp set
Island Indigo and Primrose Petals FFIP
Very Vanilla and Island Indigo card stock
Primrose Petals Core’dinations card stock
Big Shot and Vine Street SAB TIEF
Sycamore Street SAB Ribbon and Button pack
Stampin’ Sanding System
Dotted Scallop Ribbon Trim punch
Little Labels punch pack
Dazzling Details

Is that Core’dinations paper amazing or what? So much fun to sand… if you get carried away, no biggie, there’s plenty more in the package – 12 sheets!! And time for a confession – you could color a regular Rhinestone Jewel with a pink sharpie to get this look, but these particular itty bitty jewels are from the retired die cut flowers set that recently hit the Clearance Rack – and promptly sold out!

Only two more sleeps til SAB – are you ready??

A glimpse of good things to come

I am THRILLED with all of the SAB options this year.
