Sale-A-Bration Spotlight – Most Adored DSP

Sale-A-Bration Spotlight – Most Adored DSP

I can’t tell you how sweet the Most Adored DSP really is! While the primary colors are Real Red, Flirty Flamingo and Gold – this paper isn’t just for Valentine’s Day. I love the gold foil detail too. Today’s card is a card I made recently at an Online Retreat held by a fellow demonstrator which I loved because it also highlights the Hooray for Surprises bundle that I’ll be using in my upcoming retreat.

This is a great layout to use your scraps, which is why I wanted to share it with you today. It’s a really simple layout that can be used to mass produce cards for any occasion. I’d love to see what you do with this layout. Share your card on my Facebook page HERE.

  • 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ Real Red Cardstock scored in half for card base

Sale-A-Bration Spotlight – Jungle Pals

I’m excited to highlight Jungle Pals with you this week! This week, I am away on a very much needed girls trip with two of my best friends and this weeks Sale-A-Bration highlight fits perfectly with where we are at. Today’s card goes right along with my very favorite attraction – The Tiki Room. You guessed it, we are away at Disneyland! I could sit in the Tiki Room all day and eat Dole Whip.

I started off by stamping in a diagonal pattern the yay sentiment from the Happy Labels stamp set in Crushed Curry Ink for a bit of interest. I just made sure to offset each time I started a new row when I stamped the word. I colored in the Toucan with Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends and Basic Black Stampin’ Blends.

  • 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Crushed Curry (scored in half for the card base)
