Last one... Punch Bunch & Ice Cream Parlor

Last day of Sale-a-Bration! I hope you took advantage and got all the free stamps you wanted!

I created this window card featuring the owl from Punch Bunch and the Ice Cream Parlor DSP & ribbon. The owl peeks through the window at the bottom (check out the inside below):

Stamps: Punch Bunch, Say it Simply

Inks: Old Olive, Pacific Point

Card stock: Pear Pizazz, Whisper White, Garden Green

Punches: 1 3/8" Square, Two-Step Bird, Two-Step Owl, Modern Label

Other: Ice Cream Parlor DSP, Ice Cream Parlor ribbon, Brights Brads

Flower for All Seasons

This card features Flower For All Seasons, one of the main catalogue Sale-a-Bration choices. It's a cute little set with four different flower images.

I stamped the flower image on Glossy White cardstock and coloured it with Stampin' Write Markers. I punched out the image and mounted it on a Scallop Circle. I created the banner by punching one end of a cardstock strip with the corner of a square punch. I love the Woodland Walk papers, and just inked the edges before adding them to my card.

Stamps: Flower for All Seasons, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Inks: Chocolate Chip, Jet Black StazOn
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Glossy White, Wild Wasabi, Naturals White
SW Markers: Poppy Parade, Peach Parfait, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Soft Suede
Punches: Corner Rounder, 1 3/8" Circle, 1 1/4" Square, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle
Other: Woodland Walk DSP

My favourite SAB stamps...

This card features my favourite Sale-a-Bration set this year... Bliss.

I stamped the butterfly with Melon Mambo craft ink and embossed with clear embossing powder before stamping the swirly image over top. I love the First Edition DSP because it is so neutral and can be used with any colours and inked to add a little extra. The Tasteful Trims Big Shot die was in the Holiday Mini, and is currently on the Carry Over list (and still available to purchase). The yellow label in the top corner is a sneak peek of the Four Frames stamp set that will be in the next catalogue (July), but is available for purchase during April (and you can get it free with a qualifying party). All the stamps co-ordinate with my favourite punch--Decorative Label.

Hope you like my card! If you want a Bliss stamp set of your own, it's not too late... you can get it for free until March 31st!

Fast & Fun Friday - Clearly for You

On Fast & Fun Fridays, I share something quick & easy to make.

This is a 3x3 card I CASE'd from the Occasions Mini Catalogue (pg 29) for my Team Shoebox Swap this week. I did change the colours a bit, and I inked edges instead of adding another layer of cardstock. The stamps on this card are all from the Clearly for You stamp set, and the Dotted Scallop Ribbon punch is the perfect detail for this card. A button from the Neutrals pack with some embroidery thread is just the right finishing touch.

Stamps: Clearly for You
Inks: Perfect Plum, Rose Red, Baja Breeze
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Perfect Plum, Crumb Cake
Other: Neutrals Buttons, Dotted Scallop Ribbon punch
