SALEABRATION STAMPING USING THE BLISS STAMP SET AND SWEET AND SOUR SPECIALTY PAPER

We had a really great gathering of our crafting friends last night.  Linda Murphy hosted us in her home for dinner and then we headed over to Sandi's to stamp.  One of the cards we made used the Bliss stamp set that you can earn for FREE from Stampin Up! with a Sale-a-bration purchase!  I love this stamp set.  We also used the SU! Specialty Designer Paper called Sweet and Sour!  I love the rose red and pumpkin pie combination.  Here are photos of all the different versions of the card and all of the ladies who stayed to stamp with us!  2 New friends - Rachel and Jackie - joined us for the first time.  They loved it and we loved having them.
This first photo shows one of the cards that I made using not only the Bliss stamp set but also the set Clearly for you!  It's a great set that compliments the Bliss set.  We made the card with a slight vintage feel by adding the SU! pearls and the music notes (see the hint of those on the card? - I learned how to put them on with the wheel from my colleague Kim Van Diepen who also showed me how to distress the edges of the card).  This card just screams color and spring!
This is another version of the card.  I stamped the butterfly in pumpkin pie ink on another piece of card stock and cut it out so it looks like it could fly off the page.  I also added crystal effects to these cards and dazzling diamonds and the rose red satin seam binding.  SU! now sells this great embellishment in several of SU!'s favorite colors! The flourish I stamped is from the Bliss set. It is such a great accent stamp or it can provide the focal point!
 This is our hostess - Linda Murphy.

 This is me!  Linda K took this photo of me.  Notice the envelope?  The butterflies are in flight!
