This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is “Celebrating Sale-A-Bration”. Last week we showed off our favorite SAB stamp set with the “Loving Sale-A-Bration” blog hop. This week we are showing off our favorite PRODUCT, not including stamp sets, from the SAB collection!
RAINBOW OF HAPPINESS
Rainbow of Happiness is a bundle in the new January-June 2022 Mini Catalog, but the coordinating designer paper is a FREE Sale-a-Bration Level 1 Selection! I love the patterns and bright colors in the DSP, so have to choose it as my favorite product!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pool Party cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 2-7/8 x 5-1/4 piece of the Navy rainbow pattern was added to the left side of the base card and the reverse side was cut to 1 x 5-1/4 and added towards the right side, leaving a small gap.
- A 3/4 x 2-3/4 piece of Pool Party cardstock was added to the front.
- Some Silver Simply Elegant Trim was wrapped in a circle and added over the Pool Party piece.
- The greeting from Rainbow of Happiness was stamped with Night of Navy Ink on Basic White, the hearts with Magenta Madness Ink, then cut with the Stitched Rectangles Die and added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Yep! That’s it! SUPER fast card to make because the DSP does ALL the work! OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
