Stampin' Up! Uk - See Ya Later

Stampin' Up! Uk - See Ya Later 

Today's card is Sale-a-bration product heavy! I can't believe that Stampin' Up!'s biggest promotion ends tomorrow (31st March 2014) - the cut-off time for orders is 10pm so don't miss out!

So to the card - I embossed a piece of Whisper White with the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder. I am so pleased this item will be available again in the NEW Annual Catalogue (Due out on 1 July 2014).

I inked up the alligator image from the See Ya Later stamp set using Stampin' Write Markers (Old Olive and Soft Suede) and cut it out so it would mat on a label cut using the Apothecary Accents Framelits. The "Love" image from Banner Blast was stamped and punched out using the Banner Punch (another item returning in July!).

I wound Summer Starfuit Twine from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack round the embossed card, added the sentiment piece and finished it with a flower cut using the Floral Fusion Sizzlits and a cute In Color Dahlia in Summer Starfruit. These will definitely retire in June as we will be getting new "In Colors" in July - exciting!

Stampin' Up! Uk - The Open Sea meets High Tide DSP

Stampin' Up! Uk - The Open Sea meets High Tide DSP

I have been struggling to use the High Tide Designer Series Paper so went back to basics with this one and pulled out The Open Sea stamp set as well.  I love the way Stampin' Up! tells us which colours coordinate with the papers - it makes crafting so much easier. I used Calypso Coral, Pacific Point, Smoky Slate and Soft Sky in this card. 

I stamped the ship image onto Whisper White card and also a Post-it Note (other sticky papers available!) which I cut out to create a mask of the ship. I covered the stamped image with the mask and stamped the inventory over it. When the mask is removed you are left with the inventory image surrounding the ship.

The sentiment is from the Four You stamp set - I trimmed the card to 1.5cm and then used the Banner Punch (available for FREE in the current Sale-a-bration promotion with purchases over £45) to shape the banner as shown below:

The edges of the stamped pieces and papers from High Tide were sponged with Soft Sky ink and matted on various co-ordinating cardstock.  The card was finished with Baker's Twine, shapes from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and Calypso Coral Candy Dots.
