Stamp Review Crew: Sale-a-bration 2024 #2

 


 

Hello and welcome to a Stamp Review Crew Bonus Hop!  We have regular blog hops the first and third Mondays of the month but are adding an extra hop this month!  We are departing from our usual format of highlighting one stamp set and instead are showcasing the current Sale-a-bration selections. 


I have two cards made with the super cute Trusty Toolbox Designer Series Paper. 



First is a humorous birthday card with a phrase that I added using the Mini Alphabet dies.  
 

Inside is a middle layer attached to an accordion fold with the fussy cut saw popped up on dimensionals.  


It is fun that the Designer Series Paper from the front of the card peeks out on inside.



   
Card base:  Cut 4 1/4" x 11".  Score at 3 1/2", 4 1/2", and 5 1/2".  Accordion fold and seal with adhesive.
Front DSP panel:  4" x 5-1/4"  Middle panel:  3-1/2" x 5-1/8"  Back panel: 3" x 4-3/4"

The second card front is CASED from the Sale-a-bration flyer.
The drawers are popped up on Dimensionals.  I ran a black Stampin' Marker
along the edges of the handcut tools to make them stand out.


Inside I accordion folded a 12 inch piece of the ruler patterned paper

 
and added the words from the Perennial Postage stamp set.

Stamp Review Crew: Notes of Nature



Hello and welcome to the latest Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop!   Our international crew highlights one Stampin' Up stamp set on each blog hop.  Hops are the first and third Mondays of the month and are a great way to get lots of ideas for using a set!   

If you click on the banner below you will be taken to the Stamp Review Crew website which has a complete list crew members and you can see all the past hops as well.

Our stamp set this time is the Notes of Nature set.  This set reminded me of my first class as a college freshman.  It was a very hands-on entomology class with a wonderful professor.   We spent lots of time outdoors collecting specimens and making notes in our field journal.    Fun memories!  

The coordinating dies, cork dots, and faux leather trim add lots of textures.


 

The card front is scored 1-1/4" from the edge and folded back
so the DSP peeks out on the inside edge.




I'm so glad you have visited today!  Please click on the buttons below to see more ideas for using the Notes of Nature stamp set.  Have fun hopping!
