Sale-A-Bration Saturday-Heartfelt Blooms



Hey Y'all!
Have you ever had one of those moments where you felt like the spotlight should shine and you hear a choir singing "Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh".  I had one of those moments when I made this card.  
Now I am going to be honest with you.  I almost didn't get this stamp set.  It wasn't on my list.  I don't know why, it just didn't jump out at me.  But I had an order that I earned some Sale-A-Bration products, and I had already ordered the things I wanted, so I added it.  And I am so glad I did!! The pictures do not do this stamp justice.  This is a patent-pending technique called "Distinktive" (isn't that just cool how they did that, DistINKtive) that adds different layers of ink to a stamp giving it that amazing look of depth.  

  

 That image is stamped just one time, y'all.  And guess what I stamped it on!  A piece of that absolutely gorgeous Wood Textures DSP! (No rush, but the 2017-18 Annual Catalog goes away May 31, and that paper will probably be going as well.  If you want it, you better get it and get it soon! Don't say I didn't warn ya....) And y'all know me, I hardly ever make a card without an embossing folder being involved, and the Pinewood Plank did the trick!

I stamped the image with Crumb Cake Ink all around the perimeter of the Crumb Cake layer, then ran it through the Big Shot to emboss it.  I also did a third-generation stamp of the image (third-generation is just fancy talk meaning I stamped off on a scrap piece of paper 2 times) then stamped the image on the tag.  I love the rustic look of this card!  And that Gingham Ribbon just sets it off.  
Nina's Cardmaking Rule: The inside of a handmade card should be just as beautiful as the outside!

Here are the measurements to make this card:
Card Base- Crumb Cake 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
1st Layer-Crumb Cake 5-7/8 x 4-3/8
Night of Navy Mat-4-1/4 x 3-1/4
Wood Textures DSP-3 x 4
Whisper White for Inside of Card- 4 x 3-1/4
So I made a short video showing you how I used the Everyday Label Punch for both pieces of the tag, it shows you how to stretch your punch and get more out of it!  Here it is:
