I have a number of my Kreative Jewels Team members that are celebrating their Stampin' Up! anniversaries during SAle-A-Bration so I needed to get some cards ready to send out. Sale-A-Bration is the best time to join Stampin' Up! You will receive an extra free stamp set from Stampin' Up! You will also receive a free stamp set from me, this is in addition to the welcome gift that I give all new members of my Kreative Jewels team. And did I mention that Stampin' Up! has a sale on the starter kit right now? Stampin' Up! is offering the Starter Kit at 15% off during Sale-A-Bration. Wow, what a deal!!! For more information please see my Information Page
For the cards I choose the new Urban Oasis Designer Series Paper as my starting point. I used only two colors from the pack, Basic Black and Kraft. I also used some of the brand new Taste of Textiles Specialty Papers. OMG, these are absolutely stunning! I wanted to have a little splash of color on the cards so I used some Sticky Cut numbers. These Sticky Cut shapes, letters and numbers are so awesome. You can add lots of bling with Stampin' Up!'s glitters and bead assortments. Here, I used the Red Glitter from the Fine Galaxy assortment.
For this first card I used the Celebrate Everything set. This is a great little set, perfect for all your celebration cards! The flower came from a new set, Garden Greetings. We were given this set at Managers Reception at this years Leadership in Orlando! It is quickly becoming one of my favorites!
For the next two cards I used two of this years Sale-A-Bration sets, Polka Dot Punches and Congrats. You can earn one of these sets for free with a $60.00 order, get both for free with a $120.00 order. Please call or email me to earn your free sets today, or you can order online here.
I did all the stamping on these three cards using Basic Black Craft ink, which I then embossed with clear embossing powder. I added the white gel pen to add a bit of dimension to the cards.
