Today I am going to share with you three cards I made using the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue.  From January 3rd till 31st March,  you can earn product from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue based on what you spend in one order.  So for a spend of $90.00 you have a wide selection of seven stamp sets, designer series paper, thinlits dies, card bases, a card kit, ribbon pack and a Memories and More card pack.  Two of these items are only available when your sales reach $180.00 – the Happy Wishes stamp set and the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies.  However, the Celebrate You Thinlits Dies, unlike the other items in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue, will also be available in the next Annual Catalogue, so this is a great item to have in your stash ready to go with the new items in the next Annual Catalogue and it’s free.

Anyway, onto my cards – for the first card I embossed the top two-thirds of Whisper White card using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.  I stamped the greeting from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set onto the lower right hand corner of the embossed card using Bermuda Bay ink.  I wrapped the card just below the embossing using the Bermuda Bay ribbon from the Shimmer Ribbon Pack (available in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue) and tied a knot.   The embossed card is attached to scored and folded Bermuda Bay card.  The floral image from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set stamped onto Whisper White card using Bermuda Bay ink.  The image panel is attached to Bermuda Bay card and then the card front using dimensionals.  To decorate the inside of the card, I attached a narrow strip of Bermuda Bay card behind one long edge of  Whisper White card which is embossed using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.  The panel is attached to the bottom of Whisper White card.

For the second card, I once more embossed the top two-thirds of Whisper White card using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.  The card is stamped with another of the greetings from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set using Smoky Slate ink.  The card is wrapped with the Smoky Slate ribbon from the Shimmer Ribbon Pack and tied in a knot.  The embossed card is attached to scored and folded Smoky Slate card.  The floral image is stamped in Smoky Slate ink, attached to Smoky Slate card and then to the card front with the bottom of the image panel tucked underneath the ribbon.  The inside is decorated in the same manner as the first card, but his time, I attached Smoky Slate card behind the embossed panel.

The third card has, once again, the top two-thirds of Whisper White card embossed using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder.  I stamped the third greeting from the Heartfelt Blooms stamp set below the embossing using Calypso Coral ink.  The card is wrapped with the Calypso Coral ribbon from the Shimmer Ribbon Pack and tied in a knot.  The embossed card is attached to scored and folded Calypso Coral card.  The image is stamped in Calypso Coral ink onto Whisper White card, attached to Calypso Coral card and then the card front using dimensionals.  The inside is decorated in the same manner as the other two cards using Calypso Coral card behind the embossed panel.

I love how detailed this stamped image is just using one colour.  I think I am going to have to play with this one a little more to realize its full potential.

Bye for now,

Kris
