Only 2 more weeks to get your FREE Sale-a-bration stamp sets and Designer Series Paper for 2022 January/February Sale-a-bration! I have always loved Sale-a-bration in January and February! It’s such a fun thing to get gifts and surprises in the dead of winter, after Christmas! It’s a nice perk me up!
This week I wanted to focus of Friendly Hello stamp set and 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper…..it comes together FREE with a $100 purchase. I’ve been waiting to use it for our Birthday Stampin’ Blitze coming up February 26th! I love the card we’ve designed for Stampin’ Blitz with this set but thought I’d let you see a simple card I made today with it. You’ll see all the Birthday Stampin’ Blitz cards on February 27th here on the blog.

So, I got a little carried away with stamping this afternoon. It’s all quiet at my house and a little dreary outside. I enjoyed myself stamping and feel really good that I made, wrote, and addressed 3 cards!!! That’s quite a record for me. Writing is not my forte as you can tell by my blog. So I’m quite happy with my accomplishment this afternoon!
Here are the other versions of this template. I had to use the purples! And one of my favorite techniques, although I don’t use it all that much is to emboss with a stylus on vellum.
Today, we had a little technical challenge with the video Elizabeth has prepared for you….I will post it in the next day or so. Stay tuned….it’s such a cute technique to use with the Driving By VW looking van! I had a lot of fun making it. Below is a sneak peek of the card
Please check back within a couple of days for video. You know you can also go directly to YouTube to view all of our videos anytime.
I have 3 more openings for the Birthday Stampin’ Blitz!!!
