Sneak Peek Sale-A-Bration 2018 Lots of Lavender & Heartfelt Blooms, Fruit Basket, Lots of Labels, Classic Label - Thinking of You Card

The sun came out today and it sure looks nice outside.  NOT!  It may reach 20 degrees today if we are lucky.  The wind is so bitter cold it seems like it goes right through you.  UGH!

We just got all the chlorine pumped out of our water and they should be here today to take samples and have them tested.  Crossing my fingers and toes that they come back good and we can drink our water again!

My share for today is a Friend-Thinking of You Card.  Let's take a look:

My Card Base is Sweet Sugarplum 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 Sweet Sugarplum Ink and the Bow in Pool Party Ink.

I colored the Leaves and Stems with my Old Olive Light and Dark Stampin' Blend Markers.

Using the Bud Stamp from Lots of Lavender Stamp Set, I stamped the Buds a few times in Berry Burst Ink.

I cut a length of SU's 3/8" Sweet Sugarplum Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, wrapped it around the top of my Card Front Panel and adhered it with Mono Multi Purpose Glue in the front center where I knew my Bow would cover the glued seam.

I adhered one of SU's 2017-2019 Adhesive Backed In Color Bitty Bows in Berry Burst over the glued seam.  

I then adhered the Card Front Panel to my Card Base with Mono Multi Purpose Glue.

Using SU's new Fruit Basket Stamp Set, I stamped Friend on a scrap piece of Shimmery White Cardstock and punched it out with SU's Classic Label Punch.  I turned the punch over so I was looking at the bottom of the punch, put the Label back in the punch and punched off both ends to make a shorter Label.

I stamped both ends of the Label with the Lots of Lavender Bud Stamp in Berry Burst Ink and adhered two of SU's new Glitter Epoxy Shapes to each end of the Label.  I then adhered the Label to the Lavender Stems with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

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

Using SU's Lots of Lavender Stamp Set, I stamped the Flower Bough at the top of the Label in Basic Black Archival Ink. 

I colored the Flower and Buds with my Sweet Sugarplum Stampin' Write Marker and my Leaves with my Light and Dark Old Olive Stampin' Blends Markers.
  
Using SU's new Sale-A-Bration Heartfelt Blooms Stamp Set, (Free with a qualifying order), I stamped my Thinking of You in Basic Black Archival Ink.  

 
I hope you can come back tomorrow when I'll share my Envelopes and the Lots to Love Box with your!

That's all I have for today.  Thanks for stopping by my blog.
