Good Morning and Happy February! I wanted to make a vintage style card with the Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy Sale-A-Bration photopolymer stamp set and so I looked at cards from 10 to 15 years ago. Boy, was that fun seeing all the old favorite stamp sets and designer series papers! I decided to make it with layers of Regency Park 6″ x 6″ designer series paper and use a sponge dauber to distress the edges. You can find the supplies I used at the bottom of my post along with the sizes of cardstock used.
I used a sponge dauber to apply Crumb Cake ink around the edges of my panels of Regency Park 6″ x 6″ DSP. I picked a floral Petal Pink pattern for the front background and inside trim and a Petal Pink polka dot pattern for the vertical strip. I embossed the front background and inside trim papers with the Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder and adhered the background panel to the front of a Soft Suede card base with liquid glue. I adhered the vertical strip to a Soft Suede mat and adhered it to the card front with liquid glue.
I stamped the large floral bouquet from the Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy stamp set in Early Espresso ink on a Basic White panel. I stamped the flowers in Petal Pink and the leaves in stamped off Mint Macaron. I stamped the spatter stamp around the flowers using stamped off Crumb Cake. I then used my sponge dauber to apply Crumb Cake ink around the bouquet. I adhered the panel to Soft Suede and Petal Pink mats and wrapped it twice with Crumb Cake baker’s twine and tied a bow. I colored the flowers with Wink of Stella to give them some sparkle.
I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy stamp set in Early Espresso in Petal Pink and adhered it to a Soft Suede mat. I adhered the label over the baker’s twine with dimensionals and adhered the layered floral panel to the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with iridescent gems.
For the inside of the card, I stamped the little flower from the Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy stamp set in Crumb Cake ink in the lower corner of a Basic White panel. I trimmed the bottom with the Regency Park 6″ x 6″ distressed and embossed DSP strip and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.
The Stampin’ Up! Beautifully Happy Sale-A-Bration stamp set is a gorgeous two-step stamp set with pretty flowers and wonderful sentiments. It is one of the items that you can get for free with a $100 order (before shipping and taxes). It was fun to make a vintage style card and I didn’t use a single die!
