Today I'm showcasing 3 different cards and looks using my favorite Sale-a-Bration sets. Enjoy!

DEEsign 1: Natural and Neutral with Bliss

DEEtails:

I started with a Crumb Cake base and stamped the flourish image from the Bliss stamp set. Then I added some Very Vanilla Seam Binding, which I pleated. I stamped t butterfly from the same set in Sahara Sand ink on Very Vanilla card stock and cut it out. I adhered the butterfly to my card with a glue dot, bent up the wings a bit and added a strip of Rhinestone Jewels. I wrapped some Linen Thread aroud my card a few times, tied it in a simple bow, then used my corner rounder to soften up the edges.

DEEsign 2: Soft and Sweet with Sweet Summer

DEEtails:

I started with a Naturals White base and stamped the leaf flourish from the Sweet Summer set with Pear Pizazz ink and the flowers blossoms with Blushing Bride ink. Then I took my blender pen and filled in the leaves and flowers. I cut out my flowers, added some Pearl Jewels and adhered them with some Stampin' Dimensionals. Then I stamped the sentiment from the Hostess Level 1 Because I Care set. I added some Pear Pizazz Seam Binding and a Naturals White mat before adhering everything to my Blushing Bride card.

DEEsign 3: Bright and Bold with Ice Cream Parlor


DEEtails:

Okay, so really this is two Sale-A-Bration sets, but I couldn't resist. I started with some playful patterns from the Ice Cream Parlor DSP, which I cut into 1 3/4" squares. I adhered them to a piece of Melon Mambo card stock, which I had punched a Scallop Border onto one side. Then I added my embellishments, some Scallop Circles punched out of the DSP, some Quick Accents, and a few bright buttons.
