Posted on February 12, 2024February 5, 2024 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Celebrate Sale-a-Bration Blog Hop where we are showcasing, you’ve guessed it…….. Sale-a-Bration product. I am showcasing the gorgeous Softly Stippled dsp and have used it to make a pretty card made for my niece who became engaged over Christmas.

Softly Stippled dsp – 12” by 5¼”

Scrap Basic White & Pool Party card

On the long side I scored the Softly Stippled dsp at 2”, 4” 8” and 10”. On the short side I marked at 2” down on both sides and using a trimmer, cut from the 2” mark to the second score line – 4” and 8”.

Taking the 2 off cut pieces, I trimmed the point off at the 2” score line and glued the pieces to the front panels with the co-ordinating pattern uppermost. I love that you see both sides of this pretty dsp.

The sentiment, from the Stippled Rose stamp set, was stamped in Pretty Peacock ink onto scrap Basic White card. I die cut the sentiment using the Nested Essentials Dies. I cut 2 more labels from scrap Pool Party card, I cut one of these in half across the middle and glued the 2 halfs to the back of the stamped label with a little peeking out at the top and the bottom. The remaining Pool Party label was glued to the back of the label and the whole piece was glued to the left side of the card front.

From scrap Basic White card, I die cut 2 circles using the Everyday Details Dies. On the circle I stamped the sentiment from the Color & Contour stamp set in Pretty Peacock ink.

The single rose was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto the circle. I coloured the rose in using Pool Party and Wild Wheat Blends Pens. The circle was the glued to the inside panel, roughly in the centre but not visible when the card was closed.

The panel of Pool Party card was adhered to the back of the central dsp panel. This gives the card more stability. The 5” by 3⅝” piece of Softly Stippled dsp was glued to the remaining piece of Basic White card. The panel was then gled to the back of the Pool Party layer.

The remaining die cut circle was glued to the back panel of the card. This will give me a place to write a message. I also stamped a 2^nd rose onto scrap Basic White card, coloured it in as before and fussy cut it out before gluing it to the card circle.

I stamped the smaller, squat bottle in Orchid Oasis ink at the bottom of the 4¾” by 3” piece of Basic White card, roughly in the middle. I stamped the image again onto a Post It Note taking care to position it largely onto the sticky part, and cut it out with scissors. I placed it over the stamped image and stamped the taller bottle to the left in Boho Blue ink and the squat bottle to the right in Tahitian Tide ink.

Leaving the mask in position I stamped the leafy spray in Parakeet Party ink and added the flowers in Sweet Sorbet ink. I removed the mask.

Using the Scalloped Contour Dies, I die cut rectangles from 5” by 3½” and 4” by 3” panels of Basic White card. I trimmed off the left side of the larger rectangle. Using a Blending Brush, I added Berry Burst ink, lightly around the edges of both of the scalloped rectangles. The sentiment was then stamped at the top of the smaller rectangle in Berry Burst ink.

The spray of flowers was stamped on scrap Basic White card, the stem and leaves in Granny Apple Green, outline flowers in Berry Burst ink and infill flowers in Bubble Bath ink. I stamped an extra flower and trimmed it out using Scissors.

The two scalloped rectangles were then decorated with all the die cut pieces.

The larger rectangle with the cut down side was then inserted onto the back panel. I didn’t do this correctly………. I didn’t actually watch Susan’s video to the end as I thought I knew what she had done……….. haven’t we all made that mistake. What I should have done was fold in the two outer pieces of the 3” by 2” panel and place them, folded side down, straddling the scoreline and adhering them with a strong adhesive. The rectangle panel should then be glued to the left had side.

The smaller rectangle is then added to the front piece with glue only on the left side.

The card was completed using a scattering of Festive Pearls.
