Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - featuring Mini Catalog/Sale-a-Bration Brochure Products

Hey Friends!  Today I am joining the Stamping with Friends  Blog Hop featuring projects from the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration Brochure.

I chose the Notes of  Nature stamps and Nature's Sweetness Designer Series Paper DSP).  You can find them on pages 40-43 in the Jan-Apr Mini Catalog.  This card has a quick and easy layout that would work well for making multiple cards at once and it focuses on the DSP -- my favorite crafting product!!!

Card Details:

• Stamps
• Notes of Nature
• Paper
• Copper Clay Cardstock
• Nature's Sweetness 12" x 12" DSP 
• Ink
• Copper Clay, Pebbled Path
• Tools/Embellishments 
• Adhesive-Backed Cork Rounds
• Countryside Corners Dies 

I used Copper Clay ink to stamp some dots at an angle on the top layer to step it up a bit.  Tone on tone stamping is a great way to add a bit of pizzazz to your cards.   Make sure you stop by my stamping friends blog to see more Jan-Apr Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration projects.

Stamping With Friends Blog Hop - January 2023 - Sale-a-Bration Favorites

Hey Crafty Friends!  Today I am Stamping with Friends in the bi-monthly Blog Hop featuring a favorite Sale-a-Bration product. Of course I choose the Designer Series Paper - again this year the Sale-a-Bration DSP does not disappoint.  Hope you find some inspiration here. 

Card Details & Measurements

• Paper 
• Fresh Freesia card base - 11" x 4 1/4", score & fold at 5 1/2"
• Basic White liner - scrap for sentiment
• Favored Flowers DSP -  3/4" x 5 1/2", 3 3/4" x 5", 3.4" x 3 3/4" (cut 2)
• Stamp
• Charming Sentiments
• Ink
• Rich Razzleberry 
• Punch/Dies
• Sentiment Silhouettes Dies
• Embellishments
• Pastel Pearls  
• Tools 
• Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Liquid Glue, Stampin' Dimensionals

For this card I used the  Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Sale-a-Bration Brochure. I focused on the DSP and only stamped the sentiment using the Charming Sentiment Bundle.  I fussy cut the flowers and placed it over layers of DSP with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Lately I have been using DSP for layering and I am loving it.  With minimal stamping this card layout is great for mass production.
