Hello there! I hope you’ve had a great weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful 65 degree weather we had yesterday and aired out the house. After the past few weeks, this was a very welcome change.
Today’s card showcases the Lots of Lavender stamp set on Page 8 from the Sale-A-Bration Brochure that you can receive for free with a $50 qualifying order. This is a fabulous 2-step stamp set that you can use the coordinating images with or color them in with Stampin’ Blends. I must admit that there’s some very exciting stamp sets in the new Occasions Catalog and Sale-A-Bration Brochure, along with other fantastic products that are so much fun to play with and you will absolutely love them all!
Please note that I forgot to include the Petal Palette stamp set from the Occasions Catalog that I used for the sentiment.
This card measures 3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ and the instructions are provided below. This card is from the Brochure, but I added my personal touch to it to show you just how easy it is to make this pretty and feminine card in minutes. The images line up almost perfectly to give you the splotchy watercolor look that is so on trend right now. I think the latter 2 pictures show more of the true colors of this card as I’m still having lighting issues. It’s the weirdest thing, but I think you get it.
If you need any catalogs, brochures or other information about Stampin’ Up! and joining my team of The Creative Stampers, just give me a holler through the Contact Me form in the Nav Bar. And, don’t forget about the Perennial Birthday Project Kit Giveaway that I currently have going on and get your comments in. There is a direct link on my Sidebar to go shopping at my online store too.
Thank you so very much for stopping by to visit me today and God bless.
