Love this colour combination! This congratYOUlations card features some of the Sale-a-Bration product you can choose for free with qualifying orders!
Love the clean feel of this grey and pink combo – it may pull me out of my “blue” project phase….at least for a while! Basic Gray (using Stampin’ Up! spelling there LOL), Blushing Bride and Melon Mambo are the shades used for this card. It uses one stamp set – Thoughtful Blooms (also available in a French Version, Fleurs Attentionnées)- which you can select for free with a $60 CAD product order, and the coordinating Small Bloom Punch, which you can select for free with a $120 CAD product order. I love the Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up smaller shapes – like these flowers.
My hint for this card? Stamp the sentiment first. That way, if it’s not “perfect” you can flip the cardstock over. Once the sentiment is in place, it’s also easier to place the rest of the elements! The leaf sprays were stamped next, then the dots, then the little pink flowers. (OK maybe the flowers and dots were in reverse order, I can’t exactly remember now…). Stamp the flowers on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock, punch out with the punch (use it upside down so you can centre the image in the punch) and adhere with the Mini Dimensionals.
Demonstrators are able to preorder product before it’s available to the “general public”. For Sale-a-Bration items, demonstrators can actually purchase the items ahead of time, so to get a “jump” on creating with the products. (it’s the one period that these items can be purchased). It’s one of the fun perks of being a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator (see more here! shameless plug haha). I personally like to pre-order a few items and then get the rest for free once they are available with a qualifying purchase!
I think I’m going to make a few extra of these CongratYOUlations cards to send to some of my demonstrator team to celebrate their accomplishments over the past month, and keep some on hand in my card stash for future celebrations!
