Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, our blog hop theme is Sale-A-Bration! We hope you will be inspired by all the beautiful creations the Pals made for you! As you hop from blog to blog, we would love for you to leave a comment. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
It’s an Adorable Owls Sale-A-Bration! These little guys are so cute, so I just couldn’t help but to use one of them for the Pals monthly hop.
I paired the owl with the Alphabet A La Mode dies from the new Jan-Apr 2023 mini catalog. They are extremely versatile and a must have in my opinion.
For the color combination, my inspiration came from another Sale-A-Bration item; the Dandy Designs designer series paper (DSP). It is also being shown right below the sentiment.
The owls can be earned FREE with a $50 purchase and the DSP with a $100 purchase.
Now, on to the card.
To make the card
- Begin with a 5 ½” x 8 ½” piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock, score and fold at 4 ¼” to form your card base.
- Sandwich a 4” x 5 ¼” piece of Basic White cardstock in the Brick & Mortar embossing folder and emboss.
- Lay your embossed piece on a protective surface and splatter it with Coastal Cabana and Fresh Freesia ink. Do this by removing the cap from your Stampin’ Write marker and keeping it in your non-dominant hand, about 1 1/2″ above where you want it. With the marker in your dominant hand, insert the tip of the marker (just a small bit) into the cap and flip it against the inside edge of the cap.
- Apply a small amount of Stampin SEAL down the bottom left corner of your piece and attach a 5 ½” piece of Fresh Freesia Open Weave ribbon as shown.
- Attach the piece to your card base using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Time to stamp the Adorable Owls Sale-A-Bration owl
- Stamp your owl on a piece of Basic White cardstock and your sentiment on a ½” x 2 ¼” piece of Fresh Freesia using Memento black ink.
- Color your owl with the following Stampin’ Blends; Balmy Blue, Bermuda Bay, Crumb Cake, Fresh Freesia, Pumpkin Pie, and Soft Suede.
- Fussy cut the owl and snip the ends of the sentiment diagonally. (fussy cut means to cut out with your Paper Snips)
- Adhere the sentiment to a ¼” x 2 ¾” piece of Dandy Designs designer series paper (DSP) (cut diagonally) and attach both to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Apply a Foam Adhesive Sheet to some Coastal Cabana cardstock, crop with the Alphabet Al A Mode dies, spelling the word “hoot” twice, and adhere to the card.
- Attach three Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems as shown.
