Happy Saturday! It’s time for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop and our theme this week is Last Chance Sale-a-Bration. Can you believe there is only a few more days to take advantage of the BEST sale of the year?
THOUGHTFUL BLOOMS
I think this Thoughtful Blooms stamp set was the first SAB I picked and I have used it the most! I love the Stone Embossing Folder in the background that is also a FREE SAB item!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake was embossed with the Stone (FREE SAB) Embossing Folder.
- A 1-1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Pleased as Punch DSP was added across the front with a 1/4 x 5-1/4 strip of Granny Apple Green cardstock under it.
- The Stitched So Sweetly label was cut with the Dies from Whisper White cardstock, and the lattice image from Thoughtful Blooms was stamped in the center with Coastal Cabana Ink. Congratulations was stamped with Memento Black Ink towards the bottom.
- The flowers were stamped with Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Inks on Whisper White cardstock and punched with the Blooms Punch (FREE SAB). Some Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots were placed in the centers and they were popped up with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The leaves were stamped with Granny Apple Green and hand-cut, then tucked around the flowers.
