Wacky Watercooler February Sale-A-Bration Blog Hop

 

Oh, yes!  It's time for another Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop.  Don't you just love 'em!  I do.  There are so many wonderfully creative projects and no two ever seem to be alike.

For my first card I managed to use a bit of product from all of the current catalogs.  At my last Stamp Club, the ink smeared on the original center layer so I didn't finish the project and just took the parts home with me.  When I committed to the hop, this immediately came to mind.  I changed it up a bit and this is the final product.  I love these colors look together.

Stamp Sets:  Petite Petals, Trust God; Inks:  Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana and  Summer Starfruit, Tuxedo Black (Memento); Card Stock:  Sahara Sand, Basic black, Summer Starfruit, Whisper White, Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper; Accessories & Tools:  Scallop Edge Border Punch, Petite Petals Punch, Pearl Basic Jewels, Stampin' Dimensionals(Stampin' Up!)

The Sweet Sorbet Designer Series Paper is from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog and is one of the free choices you have when you place a $50 order with your Demonstrator.

For my second card, I went bright and cheerful.  I made this card on what would have been my mother's 88th birthday.  Instead of making it a birthday card, I went with a Mother's Day card because I love this sentiment from Delightful Dozen.  She was a wonderful mother and she loved butterflies and flowers.

Stamp Sets:  Petite Petals, Delightful Dozen; Inks:  Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral; Card Stock:  Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight Polka Dot Parade Designer Series Paper; Accessories & Tools:  Labels Collection Framelits, Petite Petals Punch, Beautiful Wings Embosslits, Decorative Dots Embossing Folder, Pearl Basic Jewels, Stampin' Dimensionals

Well, what do you know!  Again, I used product from all of the current catalogs.  And, no, this was definitely not planned but I'm on a roll!  Will it carry through for my final project?

For my third and last project, I decided to do something a wee bit different, a mixed media canvas.  As you can see, I wasn't able to carry through with a product from each of the current catalogs.  I just couldn't figure out how to use the Decorative Dots Embossing Folder and make it look good on the canvas.  At the moment, it's the only Sale-A-Bration product I have until my next order gets here.  So, here is the end result.  I love those blue flowers!

And here is a close up of the sentiment.  If you look closely at the Soft Sky flowers, you can see that I added just a bit of sparkle to the center of the flower.  Thank you to Jackie Topa for the great punch art tutorial for the cute flowers.  I will definitely be making them again!
