Painted Seasons - SAB Free Products #1

This week I'll be featuring some projects using the new Sale-A-Bration offerings from the Painted Seasons Bundle (150349), which includes the Painted Seasons Stamp Set and the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper (DSP). This bundle is FREE with a $100 product purchase. I'm also using the Country Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (DTIEF) (149698), which is FREE with a $50 product purchase.

I used the colors in the DSP to inspire my card. The card base and layer is Petal Pink cardstock (146985) and I watercolored with an Aqua Painter (103954) over the embossed flowers using Petal Pink (147169), Grapefruit Grove (147181)and a drop of Early Espresso (119789) Stampin' Ink Refill for the flower centers. The stamped flowers were created with the Grapefruit Grove (147142), Poppy Parade (147050) and Early Espresso (147114) Stampin' Ink Pads. The leaves are stamped with a Color Me Clover Stampin' Pad (147139) onto Color Me Clover cardstock (146969).

Paper Pumpkin - February 2019

If you saw the hints, you knew this month's Paper Pumpkin kit would have a succulent theme. Succulents have been big the past year or so in gardens and for home decor.

As always, I had to take the cards to another level. I prefer cards with some dimension so here's what I did with two of the pictures. Unfortunately if you don't like cutting by hand, you probably won't want to attempt these cards but, I think they're worth it!

I cut the cups out of a second image and popped them up on the front.

For this card I went with the popular eclipse card design and popped up the "succulent letters".

Here's a short video explaining the basics for these cards.

A few more alternatives I came up with.

I needed to do something with the black and white stripe so I turned it into a mod checkerboard. Added a pop of Lovely Lipstick from the January Paper Pumpkin kit.

Here I took remaining pieces, cut some down and collaged them onto the front of two envelopes that I had attached together.

I thought it would be fun to slip a note in one pocket and perhaps a packet of seeds in the other.

If you haven't extended your month-to-month subscription and purchased a 6-month subscription you're missing out on a FREE Sale-A-Bration product. Here I've used the new Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper (DSP) that became available on the 15th. When you place a minimum $100 you can choose the Painted Seasons Bundle (150349) that includes the DSP and the Painted Seasons Cling Mount stamp set. The cup is one of the stamps from this month's kit and I've colored it with Watercolor Pencils (141709) using the Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, and Early Espresso pencils and a Blender Pen (102845). The design on the sentiment was stamped with the Grapefruit Grove ink that came with January's Paper Pumpkin kit.
