Sneak Peek Sale-A-Bration Lots of Lavender, Cake Soiree, Sweet Cake, Lots of Labels - Best Wishes Card

It was -3 degrees last night and our high for today is only 13.  I checked the long range forecast and it doesn't even get into the 20's until a week from this coming Sunday.  Yup, I'll definitely be in hibernation!!!

My share for today is a Best Wishes Card.  Let's take a look:

My Card Base is Berry Burst Cardstock cut at  4-1/2" x 5" and scored and folded at 2-1/2" for a side opening Card.

Using SU's Lots of Lavender SAB Stamp Set, (Free with a qualifying order), I stamped my Lavender Bouquet with Basic Black Archival Ink onto a panel of Shimmery White Cardstock and trimmed it out to measure 2-1/4" x 4-1/4".

I then stamped my Lavender Bouquet in Berry Burst Ink, the Leaves and Stems in Old Olive Ink and the Bow in Pool Party Ink.

I cut a length of SU's new 3/8" Berry Burst Metallic-Edge Ribbon as shown in the picture above, tied a length of SU's new Silver Baker's Twine around the center and into a Bow and adhered it to the base of the Lavender Bouquet with Mono Mulit Purpose Glue.

I adhered the panel to my Card Base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

  

For the inside of my Card:
Using SU's Lots of Labels Framelits Dies, I die cut out a Label from Whisper White Cardstock.

I took a scrap of Shimmery White Cardstock, inked up my small acrylic block with Berry Burst Ink and stamped it on my scrap piece.  Using SU's new Cake Soiree Stamp Set, I stamped the Small Flower in Berry Burst Ink onto the scrap piece, die cut it out with the coordinating Sweet Cake Framelits Dies and adhered it to the top of the Label with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.  

I then stamped the Berry Stem in Old Olive Ink twice and my Sentiment in Basic Black Archival Ink toward the top of my Label as shown in the picture above.  I used my Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blend Marker to color in the Berries.

I adhered 9 of the small Glitter Epoxy Shapes randomly to the Lavender Bouquet.

Using the Bud Stamp from Lots of Lavender Stamp Set, I masked off one Bud and stamped the single Bud 5 times in Berry Bust Ink and adhered the same Glitter Epoxy shapes over the single Buds.  So, you can stamp any color ink, put a Clear or Glitter Epoxy shape over it and it becomes the color of the Ink.  How cool is that!

This size Card fits into SU's new Whisper White Narrow Envelopes.  You would have to call your local Post Office to see if this size can be mailed.

Stamparatus

The Stamparatus is a new product from Stampin' Up!  I was one of the unfortunate ones to miss the first reservation window.  I love this new product and my FAVE feature of the Stamparatus is the double doors!

Change in Stamparatus Reservation Windows

The results are in! The first Stamparatus reservation window reached its maximum number of reservations in just 15 minutes, which provided us with some very important information: You LOVE this new stamping tool! We couldn’t be more thrilled; in fact, your response was so amazing that we’ve decided to make some important adjustments to the reservation process.
As was previously announced, the second reservation window will remain open from December 5–30; however, during this reservation period we will take as many orders as we receive (yay!) and not close the window until December 30. So whether the total number of reservations is 100 or 100,000, the window will stay open!
Please note the following changes:

• Beginning March 19, we will ship Stamparatuses in the order the reservations were received (first in, first out) and continue through the next few months and beyond as product arrives in our warehouse. Because shipment dates are based on manufacturing lead times, not all of the reservations made during the December 5–30 window will ship on March 19 (as was previously announced).
• In order to accommodate demand, limits have changed as follows: one reservation per customer and one per demonstrator.
• Because we are not limiting the maximum number of reservations for the second window, we will not offer a third window. This is the last chance for you and your customers to reserve a Stamparatus before it becomes available in the 2018-2019 annual catalog.

Please note what has not changed:

• If you reserved more than one stamping tool during the first reservation period, that number will not change; you will still receive the same number you reserved.
• If you reserved one or more stamping tool(s) during the first reservation period, you may still order during the second window.
• The reservation window will open at 2:00 PM (MT) on December 5. 

We can’t wait for you to get your hands on your very own Stamparatus and look forward to seeing the projects you’ll make with this incredible stamping tool. Look for additional details on the Stamparatus product page as the second reservation window approaches.
