As Sale-a-Bration wraps up next week, I’m feverishly using my products to show you how awesome they are and (perhaps) persuade you to place one more order before Sale-a-Bration wraps up next Thursday (that’s ONE WEEK FROM TODAY). Today’s project showcases a stamp set and pack of papers that can be earned during Sale-a-Bration.
The greatest compliment a card maker can receive is the feedback that a design made them feel something. Who doesn’t love to make someone feel happy or comforted or celebrated?! Who doesn’t like to make someone else smile? Here’s my card:
The sentiment at the heart of my card says it all. If I can make you smile, then I’m a happy guy. The In Your Words stamp set is FREE with a $300 purchase (before shipping and taxes) during Sale-a-Bration – you add it to your order ON TOP OF all the other Sale-a-Bration benefits. Yay! Here’s a look at this incredible stamp set of sentiments suggested by Stampin’ Up! demonstrators:
The sentiment is cropped with the Tasteful Labels Dies (I’ve been reaching for that set of dies A LOT lately) – it’s quite amazing!
The backdrop of my card is created with the black-and-white Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper that can be selected during Sale-a-Bration with a $50 order (before shipping and taxes). The 12″ x 12″ pack of papers includes 12 sheets (4 each of 3 designs), making it perfect for your next mass production of beautiful cards. Here’s a look at the colors and patterns in the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper:
“Wait just a minute, Brian!” I can hear you say. “But your panel is so colorful and beautiful! How is it from this black-and-white pack of papers?” Well, thank you! ♥ I’m so glad you like it. I simply added color to the black-and-white pattern with Stampin’ Blends. I colored in the space around the flowers with Pale Papaya and Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends:
The band across the center of the panel hides the split between the two panels. To add a little extra “umph” I layered a small strip of vellum cardstock behind the black band – it’s subtle, but it’s there:
Stamp Sets: In Your Words Papers: Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper, Basic Black, Vellum Cardstock, Thick Basic White Inks: Memento Tuxedo Black, Stampin’ Blends (Pale Papaya, Fresh Freesia) Accessories: Tasteful Labels Dies, Stampin’ Dimensionals
Thanks for stopping by today!

Nice pop of color and use of B/W DSP!!
Love the color for this pretty paper! Diggin’ the sentiment, too!
I like when you feverishly use your products! Cool coloring and card!
Your color blending for this card is GORGEOUS.
It does!
Leave it to you, to show us yet another great card! I love how you colored the background; most of us would probably color those flowers instead. Great inspiration…another winner!
