Sale-a-bration with Fresh Vintage

There is still time to take part in Sale-a-bration or get that Stamp Set or Paper or other special freebie!  The sale ends March 31st so contact me today or order online!  It is also a great time to sign up or buy the starter kit too, everything is on sale with more freebies! 

The card below uses the Sale-a-bration Stamp Set called Fresh Vintage, this is my favourite set and goes perfectly with the Everday Enchantment Designer Paper as well as the Brad & Ribbon Bundle.  I used the Designer Paper below to create a fun background behind the flower image (coloured with Stampin' Write Markers)

It is hard to tell in the picture but there is a slight shimmer to the card.  By mixing Shimmer Paint with Rubbin Alcohol you can make your own spritz to give a shimmery effect to any card.  The Poppy Parade Layer was also sponged with our Stampin' Sponges to give a bit of texture to the card.

Finally, have to finish off with a bit of ribbon and greeting of course, this one is from Elementay Elegance which is also a Sale-a-bration Stamp Set.  Again, not too late to take advantage of this great sale!

Enjoy and Happy Stamping!  Heather

Vintage Vogue Friend Cards

My Mom asked me to do a small package of cards for her to bring to a friend she is staying with next week while she is in Sunny Florida.  I did a variety and also brought out and re-did some cards I did last year using Vintage Vogue.  I have to use this set more often because it is a good one for sure, very versatile.  I actually submitted the second one to Stampin' Up! for a contest and received a free stamp set because I came in second place, I have to enter more of those so there will be plenty more posts to come.

The first card it might be difficult to see in the picture but the background was stamped with En Francais, Vintage Vogue & of course sponged, before it was adhered to the cardbase it was spritzed with a mixture of alcohol & the Champagne Shimmer Paint (the Frost White Shimmer Paint works well too)  As well, the original idea came from another talented demo.

The second card which was my crowing glory last year, even though it was second place, was very excited.  The background is the coordinating Jumbo Wheel "Very Vintage"  I stamped the Friends Stamp in Pretty in Pink first and then on scrap in Rose Red so I could cut out & pop up the "F" as well as the flowers, I love dimension!

Enjoy!  Tomorrow is the Sale-a-bration Kick Off Open House & Garage Sale so I will be posting our make & takes and then more pictures next week.

Happy Stamping!  Heather
