Amazing You and Celebrate You-Sale a Bration

 Have you ever started your day thinking it was Monday and realized Monday was already over?  That was me today.  So this card is the one I was going to post yesterday.  I like to start off the week with a simple card.  This uses items from the Amazing You stamp set and the Celebrate You thinlits.  These are my last Sale a Bration cards to share.

How did I get the Berry Blast color around the words.  You may already know this simple trick but in case you don't.

1. First, punch out your words.

2. Next punch out the color.

3. Cut the color in half and glue it on each side of the word and now you have an accent for your page.

The border is punched using our Decorative Ribbon border punch.

Today's card features the emboss resist technique.  

1. First I stamped the flower image using Versa mark.

2. Next I embossed the image using white embossing powder.

3. Finally, I brayed over the card front using Island Indigo ink.  When I finished brayering, I wiped the flowers with a tissue to take some of the extra ink off.

The final touch was the word Celebrate which is one of the thinlits.  This set of thinlits is free with a $100 order.  If you cannot place that $100 order this month, then wait till June because these thinlits will be in our new annual catalog that will come out in June.  Yeah!!!

Tomorrow I will feature a WOW card I made with these two sets.   Product List

Technique Tuesday-Brusho with Amazing You

  Do you like to go to Pinterest to look for new ideas?  Well, I have a Pinterest board that has some great Brusho ideas.  Click here to view the ideas I chose. Let me know which one is your favorite.

The technique I used today is the opposite of yesterday's technique.  Yesterday, I applied water and then Brusho.  So, as you can imagine today I applied Brusho and then water.

  1. First, I embossed a design from the Amazing You stamp set, a free Sale a Bration set you too can own with a $50 purchase. I stamped with Versamark and then embossed with White Embossing powder.

2.  Once the embossed image was dry, I added the Brusho.  I tapped the bottom of the Brusho container until several dots of color collected on the card stock.  Today, I actually used Whisper white card stock.  You do not need very much powder to get a really colorful look.

3. I then spritzed water all over the card stock.  I was gentle at first because I knew the color would spread, and that sometimes I overdo the spritzing.  I kept adding little squirts of water until the card looked like I wanted it to.

4. Once again, you can let this dry naturally or use a heat tool to help dry the card stock quicker.  

This card reminded me of fire works.  I can't wait to send it out to someone.

Tomorrow is WOW day and I have a stunning card to share with you.

Bubble Over Bundle-Occasion and Sale a Bration together

 Doesn't this look like a great card for a guy?  It has some of my favorite items in it.

1. I love the Wood Texture designer paper stack.  Whatever it goes on looks really good.

2. Framelits, they make cutting out a stamped image very easy.

3. A little touch of silver.  Notice the bottle caps.  I cut them out using the Silver Foil card stock.

  Are you wondering where the saying came from?  It is from a thinlit die set that is in the Sale a Bration catalog.  They were very easy to cut out with my Big Shot.
  This year there are two levels of free items in the Sale a Bration Catalog.  One level is the $50 level.  For each $50 you spend you can have those items for free.  This year there is also a $100 level.  These thinlits called Celebrate You,  are available for $100 in sales.  AND they will also be in the new annual catalog.
