Sale-a-bration: Snow You Make My whole Face Smile!!

Woo hoo! Can you believe how much it has snowed over night!! I have absolutely NO intention of leaving the house today - i'm planning to stay in the warm, catch up on loads of TV and of course do a spot of crafting!!

So if you're trapped in the house because of the snow today why not get your craft stash out and get creative and if you've got a little bit of time why not have a browse through the catalogue, mini catalogue and sale-a-bration leaflet and jot up a wishlist... you have until the 31st March to get your sale-a-bration orders in and earn your FREE stampsets and paper!!

So it's no suprise that at the moment my blog is completely devoted to the Stampin' Up! Sale-a-bration promotion and at the moment i'm sharing with you cards that have been made using the fab 'Sprinkled Expressions' set. So here is todays card and it features my most favourite sentiment of the set: You make my whole face smile! Who wouldn't love a card with this sentiment on!:

This card started life as a 'Very Vanilla Card base. I cut a strip of 'Soft Suede' card and then edged it using 'Scallop Edge Border Punch' and ran this along the edge of the card.

Next i punched three 'Fancy Flowers' from 'Soft Suede' card and three 'Fancy Flowers' from 'Baja Breeze' card and layered them ontop of one another. On a piece of 'Very Vanilla' card i stamped the flower stamp twice and the 'You make my whole face smile!' sentiment and then punched them out using '1-3/8" Circle Punch'.

I just love the images and sentiments in this stampset - don't you?!

Sale-a-bration: 'Sprinkled Expressions'

I'm so excited about 'Sale-a-bration'! And i'm planning to share with you my excitment by showcasing each stampset in turn! So far i have shared eight cards made with the 'Elementary Elegance' and 'Fresh Vintage' stampsets - if you have missed these then make sure you visit back over the last couple of weeks of post to look over them...

Now it is time to placed the  'Sprinkled Expressions' stampset in the limelight:

Now i have four cards to share with you all over the next four days featuring this stampset, here's a sneakpeek for you:

So here's card number one for you all:

This cardbase is from the 'Brights' collection and is the lovely 'Tempting Turquiose', on which i stamped the 'Dots, Dots' Dots' background stamp on the crease of the card using 'Tempting Turquoise' ink. Next i ran some 'Real Red' 'DSP' through the 'Big Shot' using the 'Circle #2 Die' and glued that over the dots. On a piece of 'Whisper White' card i stamped the sprinkled star stamp using 'Versamark' and then 'Heat Embossed' it using 'White Embossing Powder' and then using a 'Sponge Dauber' i rubbed 'Daffodil Delight' ink all over it - this technique is called 'Resist Embossing' - i then punched this image out using the '1-3/4" Circle Punch'. Finally i stamped the 'You did it! Congratulations' sentiment in 'Old Olive' ink onto some 'Old Olive' card and punched it out using the 'Scallop Square Punch'.
