Madison Ave – A Stamping Journey

I can’t believe there is only 5 days left for Sale-A-Bration. Where has the last 2 months gone??? I can’t believe it. There is still so many cards I want to make with these stamps. Some I haven’t event inked yet! I am running out of time. To mark the end of Sale-A-Bration though I thought I would show you a card to countdown to the end.

Here is Day 5 Card. The other week I played around with the new Soda Pop Tops. I think this card is inspired by a card I saw on SplitcoastStampers.

I have used the Vine Embossing Folder but de-bossed it. I think it gives it a different look. The DSP flower is from ‘Patio Party’ and punched with the Blossom Punch. The centre flower is stamped in Raspberry Ripple and the small centre flower is in Midnight Muse. They are from one of the Free Sale-A-Bration sets, ‘Madison Ave’. See the centre of the flower though??? I have used the Soda Pop Tops. This one was flattened in the Big Shot. I will explain this just below. The greeting is from ‘Fabulous Phrases’ and stamped on Whisper White and I have flagged the ends. Some Raspberry Ripple Satin Stitched ribbon finishes off the card.

Flattening the Soda Pop Tops in the Big Shot is easy – and fun!!! You might have seen how to do this elsewhere in Blogland but I will tell you what I did. Here is the recipe I used for the Big Shot.

Platform – No Tabs.

Cutting Plate.

Scrap Card

Soda Pop Top (faced Down)

Cutting Plate.

Run all this through your Big Shot. It is quite easy to turn. I have used scrap card because it saves the soda pop top sticking in to the cutting plate. Many blogs I have read haven’t done this step but I think it saves digging it out of the plate. Then again maybe it is OK.

There is still a little time to get your orders in for Sale-A-Bration. For every $100 order you get to choose one of the great products FREE! There is so many fantastic choices so don’t miss out. Also, if you love the Stampin’ Up! products so much why not get a discount all the time. Join the Stampin’ Up! family and during Sale-A-Bration get 25% more in your kit. Pay $169, get $294 of Products. How good is that! BUT you only have until Friday. So, hurry up!!!

Stop by tomorrow when I will show you another Sale-A-Bration project.

I can’t believe how fast Sale-A-Bration has flown by. Only 10 days left. How can that be!!! There is still so many wonderful products I haven’t played with yet!! This is one card I created the other day. Yes, I have CASED Shelli! I first found this card on the U.S. Stampin’ Up! Website. You can find the card here on Shelli’s Blog. Here is my version.

I don’t think mine is as good as Shelli’s. I used Crumb Cake instead of Sahara Sand and I think the DSP pennant at the bottom is not right. I love the way there is that little strip of embossing using the Vine Embossing Folder along the bottom of the White tag though. There is lots of Sale-A-Bration goodies on this card: Vintage Verses and Madison Avenue Stamp Sets. The Sycamore Street DSP, Vine Embossing Folder, Pool Party ribbon and button. All on one card. I couldn’t have come up with so many of these on the one card, so Thanks Shelli!!!

Just before I go, have you checked out the Sale-A-Bration Catalogue yet?? There is a link in the Right Hand side bar so head over there now to check it out if you haven’t already. There are Free Stampin’ Up! products for you as a Customer, a Hostess and/or as a new member to our Stampin’ Up! Family. You can’t miss it out. So hurry up time is running out!! If you want more details then head over here to an earlier post I did and that will fill you in on all the details. There might not be a lot of time left for an In-Home workshop but did you know you can have a Catalogue Party. Pass the Catalogue around to your friends and collect their orders. If they total $300 or more you still receive all the wonderful Free products that you would have for a $300 party. How cool is that!!! So come on, pass the Catalogue around to your friends and get back to me- very soon though!!

Thanks for stopping by. It is nice to have you visit. I look forward to you visiting again soon.
