Today’s card was created with two of my favorite Sale-a-bration items: Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set and Summer Shadows Dies. If you look at the items in my Product List below, you’ll notice the price is $0.00. That’s because they are FREE with a $100.00 order! Don’t you love free stuff?

The first thing I did for this clean & simple, sympathy card, was cut five flowers from Vellum, using Summer Shadows Dies. 

Dalias Sympathy

I just used two of the dies, but look at all the dies you get in the set!

Next, I decided on a background of a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, topped with Expressions In Ink Designer Paper, 4″ X 5 1/4″. Before gluing the designer paper to the card base, I stamped “sending heartfelt sympathy,” from the Delicate Dahlias Stamp Set, in Shaded Spruce Ink.

To avoid making a mistake on my pretty designer paper, I stamped the sentiment using the Stamparatus, a great positioning tool. It was also helpful that the Delicate Dahlia stamps are photopolymer, because you can see through them.

Lastly, I secured the large flower with Liquid Glue around the center, leaving the petals free. The four smaller flowers are on Mini Dimensionals, with strategically placed Artistry Blooms Sequins. Sneaky way to cover Dimensionals, huh?

I was inspired by TGIF.

My September Host Code Gift

Thanks so much for stopping by. I appreciate you!

Time is running out; Sale-a-bration is coming to a close on September 30. 

Just for fun, I totaled the items in my Product List, and if you ordered everything, you would get BOTH Sale-a-bration items for FREE.  Plus, you would have the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Stamparatus that every paper crafter needs!

P.S. Not to confuse you, but the two sets featured today are not meant to coordinate. The dies go with a set in the Annual Catalog, the Shaded Summer Stamp Set.
