Summer's Calling!

Good Afternoon!

Each month my downline and one of my sidelines run a swap, where we made 3 cards around a theme and swap 2 of them with each other so we have 1 of each card of the theme (if that makes sense).  
December's theme was 'Summer'.

Here is my take on a Summery card!



Ice Cream was the 1st thing I thought of when I said the word Summer!  What do you think? What do you associate with Summer?

Materials Used are all Stampin' Up!

Card Stock & Paper:
Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper
Rich Razzleberry
Island Indigo
Whisper White
Naturals White (Ice Cream Cone)
Early Espresso (Choc Scoop)
Very Vanilla (Vanilla Scoop)
Regal Rose (Strawberry Scoop)

Tools:
Pennant Punch
1 1/4" Scallop Circle Punch
Simply Scored Scoring Tool


Until next time
Keep Smiling & Happy Stamping!

More SAB Cards

Good morning everyone!

As you saw yesterday, if you 'hopped' around the Artful Stampers Blog Hop, was lots of wonderful Cards and Papercrafting using the new Sale A Bration products! (if you didnt have a go yesterday, what are you waiting for?? Hop around and check them all out! The samples are amazing!)

Today I have 2 more cards that are a slight variation on the last card I showed yesterday (the Summer Starfruit and Naturals White Card with the Ferris Wheel on it).





Both cards use the Naturals White Cardstock as the base and have been accented with a different colour.  The Ferris Wheel Card has used Raspberry Ripple and the Penny Farthing Card has used Midnight Muse.
I have used my Colour Spritzer with my Stampin' Write Markers to get the speckled look in the background using the same colour and the ink and ribbon. 

Both cards feature the new Sale A Bration Stamp Set "Feeling Sentimental" which is yours FREE if you place an order of $100 or more during Sale A Bration (22nd January - 22nd March).

If you'd like to order any of the products I have used just give me a call or email me.

Until next time
Keep Smiling

To whet your appetite for all the goodies you can earn it's time for another Artfull Stampers Blog Hop!! You may have hopped here from Nicole’s Blog.  I’m stop # 7 on the Hop and I’m glad you're here sharing in the fun!!


Here are my creations to share with you!

All 3 cards have been made using the stamp set 'Feeling Sentimental' which you can earn FREE by simply placing a $100 order during Sale A Bration!





Using Whisper White and Early Espresso, I have created an aged look to go with the image on this card.  I think any older generation person would love and appreciate this Penny Farthing Card. Simple yet effective :)



This second card is made using Midnight Muse and Whisper White. The English Telephone Box (usually red in colour) is very 'in' right now so this card will also appeal to many people. 



And finally, who doesn't love the fair?? This simple card has been made using Confetti White Cardstock and has been teamed up with Summer Starfruit.
