Sale-a-Bration Bloomin' Marvelous Card

I saw this great card made by fellow demonstrator Sandi MacIver and I just had to CASE (Create And Share Everything) it!  I loved the colors she used and the design; thanks so much for sharing Sandi!  To make the card, you'll need the Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set and the Vine Street Embossing Folder from the Sale-a-Bration brochure.  Colors of ink and cardstock are Summer Starfruit, Sahara Sand, Island Indigo, and Pool Party.  I'm going to be sad when the end of May comes and Island Indigo and Pool Party are retired!

I also used the new Bitty Butterfly punch from the Spring Mini Catalog to cut out the butterfly and I just used my Snips to cut out the flowers.  I attached the flowers using Mini Glue Dots then added some Rhinestones for BLING!  This card is great for mailing and just to look at; it's getting me in the mood for Spring!

Thanks for stopping by!  I didn't include details on measurements and item numbers because I figure mostly other Demonstrators visit my blog, but if I get comments from you saying you'd like me to start including those details, I'd be happy to.

Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set Samples from Leadership

I wanted to share these pictures of display boards from Stampin' Up's Leadership Event.  I didn't have a chance to go, so I love to see the display boards for ideas!  These boards feature 4 of the Sale-a-Bration FREE stamp sets.  I know they're blurry, but I got them from a friend, who got them from a friend; I don't know who the photographer was.  I just like to see the samples and I hope you do too - have a great day!

Stampin' Up Petite Pocket Die Bath Salts Pouch

Here's a cute Bath Salts Pouch a designer at Stampin' Up created. It uses some great NEW Sale-a-bration products!  I've included the step-by-step tutorial for it. Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: Loving Thoughts Stamp Set and Madison Avenue Stamp Set Paper: Island Indigo, Shimmery White, and Summer Starfruit Cardstock Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper Ink: Island Indigo and Rick Razzleberry Classic Stampin' Pads Accessories and Tools: Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder, Summer Starfruit 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon, Linen Thread, In Color Dahlias, Stampin' Dimensionals, Extra-Large Oval Punch, 1-1/4" Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Circle Punch, 1-3/4" Scallop Circle Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Big Shot, Petite Pocket Bigz XL Die, Vine Street Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Simply Scored, & Bath salts

Instructions:

1. Using the Big Shot and the Petite Pocket Bigz Die, cut two pockets from the Island Indigo Cardstock. Cut off the bottom flaps.  NOTE: I'm not sure about cutting the bottom flaps of both pieces; I think you'll need to fiddle with this part.  I'll call SU later to see if I can find out exactly what was done.
2. Using the Big Shot and the Vine Street Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, emboss the Island Indigo Cardstock. Punch an oval shape in the Island Indigo Cardstock using the Extra-Large Oval Punch. Assemble the pocket.
3. Punch a scallop circle in the pocket "handles" using the scallop circle shape in the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. Insert the bath salts package.
4. Thread the Summer Starfruit 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon through the hole and tie to secure the handles.
5. Punch two scallop circles from the Summer Starfruit Cardstock using the 1-3/4" Scallop Circle Punch. Set them aside.
6. Score Designer Series Paper strip every 1/4" using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. Adhere the ends of the cardstock together.
7. Holding the cardstock with two hands, twist one edge of the strip into the center to create a flower shape.
8. Adhere a Summer Starfruit scallop circle to one side of the accordion flower using a Glue Dot.
9. Stamp the sentiment in Island Indigo Ink on Shimmery White Cardstock. Cover the image with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set. Cut the stamped cardstock into a banner shape, fold it in half, and adhere it to the back of the Summer Starfruit scallop circle. Adhere the Summer Starfruit scallop circle to the accordion flower.
10. Punch a circle from Island Indigo Cardstock using the 1-3/8" Circle Punch. Set aside.
11. Stamp the wreath image in Rich Razzleberry ink on Shimmery White Cardstock. Cover the image with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set. Punch out the wreath image using the 1-1/4" Circle Punch. Adhere the wreath to the Island Indigo circle.
12. Stamp the four-petal flowers image in Island Indigo ink on Shimmery White Cardstock. Cover the image with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set. Cut out one flower using Paper Snips and adhere it to the center of the wreath image.
13. Adhere the In Color Dahlia to the four-petal flowers image. Adhere the Island Indigo circle accent to the Summer Starfruit scallop circle using a Stampin' Dimensional.
14. Punch a hole on the edge of the accordion flower using the 1/16" Circle Punch, thread Linen Thread through the hole, and tie it to the Summer Starfruit 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon.
