Hello There Softly Sophisticated

When I saw the Softly Sophisticated bundle in the Sale-A-Bration catalog I knew it was a free product I was going to work to earn.  It is just beautiful, the stamp set is really nice and has some great sentiments but that 3D Embossing Folder is beyond amazing.  I could not wait to play with it so when my order arrived it was the first thing I wanted to play with.   

Here is what I came up with…

This bundle can only be earned as a free product during Sale-A-Bration it is not an item that can be purchased.  Just a quick reminder that Sale-A-Bration is only once a year and will end on February 29^th.  I save all year long and use this time of year to stock up on basics like cardstock (especially basic white), adhesives and other consumable products so that I can qualify for as many of these great free products as I can.  Now onto the card.  

The card base is Bubble Bath cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I then cut a piece of Vellum cardstock to 4 x 5 ¼” and embossed it with that amazing embossing folder.  Once that was done, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock that was also 4 x 5 ¼” under it to really make it pop.  (Here is a hint on adhering vellum and not showing the adhesive, I take some of the Multipurpose Liquid Glue and put it on my Silicone Craft Mat, then I take a sponge dauber and sponge the glue onto the cardstock thinly and then lay the vellum down on it and it is invisible).  I adhered this layer directly to my card base.  Next, I die cut a piece of Basic White cardstock using the largest of the dies shown on the card from the Thoughtful Expressions Dies.  I stamped my images from the bundle using Bubble Bath Ink for the flowers and Parakeet Party Ink for the foliage.  I also die cut another label the same size out of Bubble Bath cardstock and cut it in half, I placed each piece so that it stuck out from behind the white about 1/4” and adhered it to the white.  I wrapped a piece of the Bubble Bath colored Sheer Ribbon from the Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack around this layer and then attached the whole thing to the center of the card.  I stamped my sentiment “hello there” from the bundle onto a Basic White cardstock label from the Stylish Shapes Dies (remember you can use any die or punch you have on hand to make these sentiment labels or just stamp them onto a rectangle of paper) using Bubble Bath Ink.  I cut an additional flag label from Bubble Bath cardstock and cut it in half and attached it just like the previous one.  For my final additions I added a bow made from that same ribbon I used to wrap the die cut and five of the Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins. 

I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making it.  As always you can find the supplies to create this card and more on my website at https://www.stampinup.com?demoid=2206796 or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog or the link to the supplies listed below.  Be sure to follow me at:
