February 16, 2016 By Connie | 1 Comment

I LOVE that we are getting some new items with Sale-A-Bration, but sad that a few of them went away, too! Here’s one of the new ones available TODAY…I splurged and got it early with my hostess credits. The theme this time on SUO Challenges is showing off SAB products…so the timing was perfect!

Here are the details:

The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Real Red, folded in half.
A layer of 4 x 5-1/4 Basic Black is layered on top.
On the 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 layer of Whisper White, the “grass” was stamped with the Kinda Eclectic image twice across the bottom with Wild Wasabi Ink, then sponged to fill it in a little.
The sun from Kinda Eclectic was stamped with Daffodil Delight in the upper right corner.
The background was lightly sponged with Soft Sky and a sponge dauber.
The bicycle from Pedal Pushers stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black Ink,, then colored with Real Red, Smoky Slate. The basket and food were also stamped with Tuxedo Black, then colored with Crumb Cake, Real Red and Perfect Plum Markers.
I’m Here for You from Pedal Pushers stamp set was stamped with Tuxedo Black, then punched with the Tree Builder Punch to make the cloud, the added to the front with a Stampin’ Dimensional.

OK, that’s it…isn’t that a fun, new Sale-A-Bration set? And you can get if FREE just by ordering $50 or more thru March 31st! Yeah! OK…check out the rest of the SUO Challenge Team to see what they did showing off SAB products!

CCMC Saturday Blog Hop SAB Tags

January 30, 2016 By Connie | 3 Comments

Welcome to the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop! The theme this week is Sale-A-Bration tags! Honestly, I’m not much into using tags except on Christmas packages, so I wanted to make a tag that I could just pop onto a card or gift bag and it would be good to go! This one using the SAB set, What I Love, came together VERY easily!

Here are the details:

The base is the largest Lots of Tags Framelit cut from Mint Macaron cardstock.
On top is a 1-1/2 wide strip of Birthday Bouquet DSP, cut to the width of the Framelit.
A 1/8″ strip of Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper was added to the bottom of the DSP.
At the top a 1/8″ Circle was punched for the Whisper White Satin Striped Ribbon, then tied with Calypso Coral Thick Baker’s Twine in a bow.
The flower from What I Love stamp set was stamped 4 times with Calypso Coral Ink for the outline image, then Blushing Bride stamped off once for the larger filler image and full strength for the smaller filler image. Two were cut out by hand completely, and two the centers were cut out then placed on top of the full images with Stampin’ Dimensionals. In the center are the yellow It’s My Party Enamel Dots. The two flowers were added to the front of the tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The leaves image was stamped three time with Mossy Meadow Ink, then cut out and adhered behind/around the flowers.
Finally, the Know What I Love from the stamp set was stamped with Mossy Meadow under the DSP at the bottom of the tag.

I think it turned out really pretty! OK…next up is Mary Brown…her tag will be fabulous, of course! You can also go backwards to Melissa Davies’ blog! Enjoy all the SAB tags our Create with Connie and Mary Design Team has for you!

Here's a card I did a couple months ago for a downline meeting swap! I've been holding it until this week to show it off. It features one of the Sale-A-Bration sets you can get FREE…Bloomin' Marvelous! It also has several of the new Spring Catalog products on it.

Here are the details!

The base card is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Melon Mambo, folded in half.
I layered on 5 1/4 x 4 Whisper White, embossed with the new Honeycomb folder
The new Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Paper is 2 x 4, placed along the left side.
I punched 3 Postage Stamp punches from Pink Pirouette cardstock and adhered going across the front.
The little butterflies from Bloomin' Marvelous are stamped in Melon Mambo, Lucky Limeade and Pacific Point, then punched with the new Bitty Butterfly punch. Each body has a rhinestone jewel in the center.
Finally, I stamped the greeting, Bloomin' Marvelous, in that same set with Black Stazon on a 1/2 x 3" strip of Daffodil Delight and cut the end in a flag point. I tucked the left edge under the Designer Paper.

Isn't this a fun card? I love the bright colors of the Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP!
