Fast & Fabulous Friday - Sale-A-Bration Sneak Peak Petal Parade

Hi there friends

Any card-maker who buzzes around the internet knows that Sale-A-Bration is about to begin...on Tuesday Jan 28, no less!  
 

Island Indigo Card Base

And I'm finally getting around to posting some SAB sneak peaks for you.   Here's one that I 'whipped up' tonight after supper using the blossoms from the Petal Parade stamp set (FREE with a qualifying SAB purchase) and a sentiment from the See Ya Later set (also FREE with a SAB order).

Actually, to be honest I started off with a solid Rose Red card background (see the 2nd card) but when I was finished, I realized it needed the Indigo mat behind it.  So I cut and glued to alter it to be how I wanted it .... so in truth, this card is still Fabulous but ultimately wasn't quite as "Fast" as most of my F&F Friday offerings are.

Hope you'll forgive me?!

Rose Red Card Base

Just as a side note - I especially like how cool it looks when I stamped the bloom multiple times then punched out the images with successive scallop circle punches and layered them together.  You probably can't tell that the Rose Red bloom at the bottom of the card has 3 layers (just like the Indigo bloom at the top)?  But it does.  Honest.  I wouldn't mislead you! 

I'm keeping this post very short since I have LOTS more to do in the few more days before SAB formally begins.

I can't wait - and I hope you are excited too!  If you need a catalogue, let me know!  Any order of $60 (before s&h and HST) gets you your choice of SAB item for FREE!  And I can ship to anywhere in Canada.  Remember that!

So - if you want a SAB catalogue, or if you want to place a SAB order, or if you just want to order a few more need-to-have-them craft supplies, contact me and I'll be happy to help you!

In the meantime, have a wonderful weekend and God Bless,      ~Cynthia    <><

Fast & Fabulous Sale-A-Bration - Bloomin' Marvelous

Okay My Friends

I think I might just have made the fastest card I have ever made.
No.
Really.
Ever.
I wanted to use Sale-A-Bration products for my Fast and Fabulous Friday...and this card just sort of 'made itself'.  I swear that this particular piece of designer paper pretty much called out and said "use me".  Honest it did!  And the buttons and ribbons?  Well they sort of just jumped onto the card of their own volition.

Look here and you'll see what I mean:

Supply List (Spring catalogue or FREE SAB products)
Stamps - Bloomin' Marvelous (Free with SAB)
Paper - Whisper White (100730), Pool Party 122924), Rich Razzleberry (115316), Tangerine Tango (111349), Sycamore Street Designer Paper (Free with SAB)
Ink - Rich Razzleberry (126950)
Tools and Accessories - Sycamore Street Ribbon - Tangerine Tango (Free with SAB), Sycamore Street Buttons (Free with SAB), Large Rhinestone Basic Jewels (129324), 7/8" Scallop Circle (129404), dimensionals (104430), glue dots (103683)

This really is the fastest card I have ever made.  And almost all of it uses free Sale-A-Bration items.  Which, I suppose, also makes it one of the most economical cards I have ever made.  Yet it is still cute.  Bright.  Cheery.  Bloomin' Marvelous if you ask me!

I hope you are ready to place your Sale-A-Bration order in 4 days, because these images, colours and patterns are just too good to miss.  Remember, every $60 worth of merchandise gets you a free SAB product.  Contact me and I'll help you get your favourites now.

Have a wonderful weekend.  An absolutely Bloomin' Marvelous weekend!  
And if you get a chance, take some time to stamp!     God Bless,       ~Cynthia      <><
