Sale-a-bration: Time to Re-Stock Consumables.

Sale-a-bration is nearly here!  That means its time to take inventory of your stamping supplies and re-stock on consumables. Are you familiar with this event?  Sale-a-bration?   Stampin'UP! followers eagerly await this yearly event.  Each $50 purchase allows you to choose a free item from the Sale-a-bration brochure.  And this year there are 19 options to choose from.  Do you have your Sale-a-bration brochure? Most of my customers have already received theirs in the mail.  Contact me if you need one. Are you loving the Sale-a-bration choices?  Many of my customers use this event to stock up on the stuff they use all year long. You always need white paper,  and envelopes and adhesives.   I couldn't craft with out  Glue Dots and Dimensionals. I love adding the pearls  and rhinestones . . . And matching ribbon is a must. The Designer Papers make a beautiful background. And you can use them for some darn cute other things too, like this dress. Are you wondering what the dress and boots have to do with Sale-a-bration? They're here because they show off lots of consumable items. If you want to read how this card was made then check out this post.

Its amazing how quickly you can put together a $50 order,
just with stuff you already use on a regular basis.

And - (YAY!) - not only will you earn Sale-a-bration items,
you'll also still be getting my Customer Rewards Points.  You can't beat that!

Bootiful Dress Template Card

A Dress Template Card . . . I've been wanting to try one of these for a long time.  And its so simple really. I was also playing with a new stamp set called Bootiful.  This set has 4 different boots in it: the cowboy boots you see here, a gorgeous furry winter boot, a cute garden boot and a wonderful witch's boot.

The boots on this card are black embossed on black paper.  I wanted the stamped stars to really "shine". The self-stick rhinestone helps to bling it up too.  The 1/8" black and white taffeta ribbon also really adds to the whole ensemble. And given the cowgirl theme I decided to use the woodgrain background stamp on Crumb Cake paper. How to make the dress: just use the Scallop Circle Die. Count over 4 scallops for the bodice and 10 for the skirt hem. I cut out the waist part with a scissors.To help with that you can create a cutting guide by laying a circular object (a coaster in this photo) over the die cut to trace a cutting line. Then comes the hard part – deciding which gorgeous Designer Paper to use!  If you click on the photo to the right you should be able to see the details a little more clearly.

 Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you are inspired to make some "bootiful" cards of your own.
