Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop

Happy New Year to you and welcome to today's Sale-A-Bration blog hop. Sale-A-Bration begins on Tue Jan 5th! If you aren't sure what Sale-A-Bration is let me fill you in on the details: for every $60 or $120 Canadian before shipping and taxes you earn a free Sale-A-Bration product! Your order can be items from the Annual or Jan-Jun Mini Catalogues (psst the Jan-Jun Mini catalogue starts the same day - Jan 5th!). To create this card you would need to place a $120 order to receive 2 Sale-A-Bration items: the Approaching Perfection stamp set and the 6" x 6" Oh So Ombre designer series paper.

The first card is Bermuda Bay and the second is Granny Apple Green. Both were created using the same cardstock dimensions but in different orientation. You'll need a card base measuring 8.5" x 5.5", scored on the long side at 4.25". Cut your designer series paper to 4" x 5.25" - since the ombre design starts off dark on one side and goes very light on the other decide what part you will trim off to achieve the look. For both cards the lighter side was trimmed off. Next cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock to 2.5" wide x 2.75" height. Stamp the candles 3 times across the top of the cardstock then stamp them again 3 times along the bottom of the cardstock. The sentiment piece will cover the bottom candle's flames and will make your candles look longer! Since the candles aren't straight in the stamp image if your stamping is off on the bottom no one will notice.

Finish the card with a piece of either Bermuda Bay or Granny Apple Green measuring 3.75" x 1.5". Stamp your chosen greeting from the Approaching Perfection stamp set with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Pop this strip onto the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The final project! The Oh So Ombre designer series paper also has the bubble design in Blackberry Bliss and Rococo Rose. This designer series paper pack also includes a different design, a solid full colour that transitions to very light colour in each of the 4 colours.
