ICS Blog Hop....Sale-A-Bration

Hello and WELCOME to the Inspire, Create & Share Blog Hop!

Our theme for this month is anything SALE-A-BRATION!  The new Mini Catalog and SALE-A-BRATION are live on January 3rd.  You're gonna love both publications and you are gonna LOVE the inspiration you find in this evenings Blog Hop! 

You'll also LOVE getting to choose FREE product from the SALE-A-BRATION brochure for every $50 you spend January 3rd through March 31st!

I chose to use the Kerchief Card Kit. This kit makes eight cards and comes with four each of two designs of printed card bases & envelopes; diecuts. gold foil and vellum accents, twine and printed sentiments.  Here's what the cards look like put together the way the kit suggests!

When I saw the kit I thought country and frames!  I can't wait to play with them some more, but LOVE what I came up with for tonight's hop!  I hope you're inspired to choose this kit as a FREE item during SALE-A-BRATION!!

I cut the center out of the card base with my Stitched Rectangle Dies.  I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped it in Night of  Navy Ink with the Buffalo Plaid background stamp. I attached it to the inside of the card (under the framed front) with dimensionals.  I think this look is SOOOOO COUNTRY!  Next I used the Painted Poppies stamp set to stamp the sentiment onto the Night of Navy oval that is in the kit.  I heat embossed it with VersaMark and White Embossing Powder.  I added the flower and the foil leaves from the kit and tied a piece of Night of Navy Twine (from the Country Club Twine Combo Pack) around the frame, fraying the ends.  I also tied a bow around the frame with the twine that comes in the kit!  

I created this card with the piece that I cut from the center of the card base.  It's super simple. Just add a tree cut with the Majestic Mountain dies and glue it to the center piece and adhere it to a Whisper White card base.  My tree is cut from Shaded Spruce cardstock.  Next, cut a frame from Night of Navy cardstock with the Stitched Rectangle dies and attach it over the tree image on the card base with dimensionals.  Add a sentiment...mine is from the Label Me Bold stamp set and is stamped in Shaded Spruce and cut out with the Classic Label Punch.  Again, I added some twine that was in the kit, tying it into a knot and fraying the ends.  It's a GREAT masculine birthday card! 

Now hop on over to Deb's blog to see how she used the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Paper!  You'll be happy you did!
