Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop - Sale-a-Brate Friendship

 It's the first Sunday in the month of February, which means it's Creation Station Design Team Blog Hop time!

Thankyou for joining me. Our theme this month is 'Sale-a-Brate Friendship'... get ready for some amazing projects as you get hopping with the rest of the talented Design Team at the bottom of my post.

SALE-A-BRATION

*For every $90 and $180 you spend, you’ll earn an exclusive Sale-A-Bration item for free! 

Depending on the amount you spend, you’ll be able to mix and match the Sale-A-Bration items you earn. There is a stunning variety of stamp sets and Designer Series Paper for you to choose from.

Now through 29th February.

It all started with a 'Balmy Blue' gift box...

I have used 2 *Sale-A-Bration products; 'Flight & Airy 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper' and the 'Softly Sophisticated Embossing Folder'.

The NEW 'Hooray for Surprises Bundle' also makes an appearance.

I coloured 'Basic White' cardstock with 'Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends Markers', to create an ombre effect, and die cutting with the heart shaped die.

*The heat embossed gold sentiment was stamped prior to die-cutting.

This little blue bird was fussy cut, and I added a second wing to create a 3D feature.

I have added some 'Balmy Blue' ink with a 'Blender Brush' to the edges of the embossed 'Balmy Blue' cardstock.

A few 'Rhinestone Basic Jewels' coloured with 'Dark Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends Marker are added at the end, and the 'Balmy Blue/White 1/2" or 1.3cm Varigated Ribbon is a stunning finish.

 INSTRUCTIONS for the Gift Box:

Cardstock measurement: 6-1/4" x 8-1/2" or 15.9cm x 21.5cm

  Score on all sides of card base 3/4".

Flip cardstock onto short side and score 3-7/8" & 4-5/8" 

 Fold score lines, cut to form a box with tabs that fold into each other.

 Next up is Sara Nell Langland with her fabulous creation...

Thankyou for visiting, and I hope you enjoyed my creation?

Looking forward to seeing you next month for our March hop. D x
