Lovely Lilly Pad - Sale-a-bration Sunday

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you a card I made featuring the Lovely Lilly Pad stamp set, matching dies and a little bit of the matching designer series paper. All of which are part of this years Sale-a-bration offerings. This year Sale-a-bration starts on January 3, 2020 and there are a lot of great FREE items that you can earn starting right off the bat. I wanted to take a little time today and showcase some of those items along with some items you can order to qualify for some freebies. Here's a look at my card.

I picked my colors for my card from the Lilly Impressions Designer Series Paper: Impressionistic images in rich colors make the Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper an excellent choice for elegant backgrounds and accents on handmade cards and scrapbook pages. I used the following colors for my card; Lovely Lipstick, Gorgeous Grape, and Granny Apple Green as the main colors for my card.

Stamp beautiful water lilies, lily pads, and more with the Lovely Lily Pad Stamp Set. This stamp set is a Reversibles** set, so stamps are two sided with an image on each side of the stamp for more creative options. Earn this stamp set FREE with a qualifying purchase January 3–March 31, 2020, during our Sale-A-Bration promotion! Ask your demonstrator about other coordinating products you can also get FREE. **Patent Pending. I cut the lilies and the detailed die cut with the matching Lily Pad Dies which allows you to create custom die-cut water lilies, lily pads, and other fun paper cut outs for card making and scrapbooking.

My sentiment came from the I Say Hello Stamp Set from the 2019 Annual Catalog. I thought it was just the perfect little sentiment for my bright and cheery card. I did mat the designer series paper in Very Vanilla cardstock which mixed with the Whisper White are actually a fun little mix on the card. I embossed the Granny Apple Green cardstock with the Beads and Baubles Embossing Folder. I thought that the use of this embossing folder and the lilies was a perfect match.

Gorgeous Grape Cardstock: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2
Granny Apple Green Cardstock: 4 x 5 1/4
Whisper White Cardstock: 4 x 5 1/4 (inside) scrap for the lilies, pad, and sentiment

Lasting Lily Tufted Card

Hello and welcome to my blog; today I am going to share with you this super cute simple card with just a little bling. I cased this card using the Lasting Lily Stamp Set that's a Saleabration 2nd level reward. Speaking of Saleabration there are still 11 days left to take advantage of the Biggest Promotion Stampin' Up! offers each year.

If you are ever looking for inspiration you should look no further then your own catalog and Saleabration brochure. I actually CASEd this card from the Saleabration Brochure. If you are wondering what I meant by CASE it means Copy and Share Everything or Copy And Selectively Edit. You're catalog and brochures are not only places to get products but card ideas, layouts, and great design elements as well.

This is the card I used for inspiration for my card today. I didn't change a lot of what Stampin' Up! designed. I did change the embossing folder from the lace dynamic textured impression embossing folder that they used to the Tufted Dynamic Textured Impression Embossing Folder. Everything else I pretty much kept the same.

For my version of their card I used a piece of 4 x 5 1/4 Old Olive cardstock for my embossed piece. Then I added that to a piece of 4 1/4 x 11 Old Olive that was scored at 5 1/2. Then I added the piece of whisper white with the stamping. The Lasting Lily stamp set is just a wonderful all around stamp with Distinktive images and loving thoughts. This set will help you with the moments you can't always put into words. The Lasting Lily set will allow you to craft the perfect message of comfort and peace.

I really wanted to share with you that you can find inspiration from places right at your fingertips. Sometimes you don't have to look any further then your front door. Thanks for dropping by today. Remember you can earn the Lasting Lily Stamp Set free with a $100 order in my online store. You will find a list of the supplies I used on my card below.

Happy Stampin'
