Here's what you can make with your Free Sale-A-Bration Selection

        

  • Friendly Hello Stamp Set and Designer Series Paper
  • A tip for getting the most out of the Friendly Hello Paper 
  • Ways to earn more free Sale-A-Bration selections 
I've been playing with the Friendly Hello Stamp Set and the coordinating Hello 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper, which is one of the Free Sale-A-Bration Selections, and I've learned some things I wanted to pass on to help your create with this wonderful selection. This is a longer post than usual, so enjoy!

I found that several of the elements in some of the prints in the Designer Series Paper can be enhanced using the coordinating stamp set.  How cool is that!  In the print I used on today's card, I stamped the flower images, branches and other elements.  I fussy cut the the largest flower and leaves image from one of the Granny Apple Green prints and then stamped in Shaded Spruce and Granny Apple Green.  I was trying to case one of the cards shown on page 13 of the Sale-A-Bration Brochure, that had several sample ideas for using this paper and stamp set, and after closely inspecting the sample, I realized that adding stamped images to the preprinted paper enhanced the images considerably.

The print I chose from the Friendly Hello 12" X 12" Designer Series paper pack had the flowers and leaves on one side and the colorful stripes on the other side.  I added a rectangle of Vellum Cardstock and included a piece of 3/8" Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon.  I used the Circle Dies to create labels for one of the sentiments from the Stamp Set.  Read more about Sale-A-Bration below.

The basecard for this card is Fresh Freesia, which you can't see, as it is covered by a layer of the striped print from the Friendly Hello 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  Then a layer of Vellum Cardstock Die cut using one of the rectangles from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.

The floral image layer is fussy cut from one of the prints from Friendly Hello 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper.  I used the twigs and leaf stamp and the small three buds stamps and added stamped images on top of the printed images.

I also found that the two flowers from the Friendly Hello stamp perfectly over the flowers in the print I fussy cut.  I think it look great both non stamped and stamped, but I love the depth that the stamped image adds to the print! I used Granny Apply Green ink to match the paper.

I then stamped the sentiments onto a die cut Basic White label.  One card uses sentiment labels cut with the Layering Circles Dies.  The other card uses a sentiment label cut with the Stitched So Sweetly rectangles. Both sentiments are included in the Friendly Hello stamp set.  I also added 3/8" Fresh Freesia Open Weave Ribbon and a few 2021-2023 In Color Jewels.  I used the jewels to hide the glue dots under the cardstock to help hold the vellum cardstock in place.  I can't wait to try stamping on some of the other prints in the Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper pack.  I'm also anxious to try stamping some images in Gold Embossing Powder to give the paper a classier look for very special occasions.
