Sale-a-Bration and Rub-ons



I love the colors and look of this card! My favorite part is the use of rub-ons on the ribbon (thanks Kathy for thinking of this!). I used the chit-chat rub-ons on the ribbon. The chit-chat rub-ons are a great price for the many sayings you get in it. They come not only in the white which I used here, but also chocolate chip (my fav color!). This card is VERY quick to make. I used the whisper white Note Cars that SU! sells. These come pre-scored and are a fun size at 5 x 3 1/2". The flower is made by using only one ink color, Riding Hood Red and punches -easy peasy! I broke down and bought the Bella Rose designer paper. It is bright and cheerful. Remember that sale-a-bration ends March 31!


Supplies

Stamps: Polka Dot Punches (sale-a-bration)

Ink: Riding Hood Red

Cardstock: Riding Hood Red, Pink Pirouette, Kiwi Kiss, Bella Rose designer paper

Accessories: Chit Chat rub-ons, brads, riding hood red taffeta

This is a cute and easy "bag" to make using the Top Note Die. It would be great for a gift card, candy or hostess gift. The Yummy sale-a-bration is used on them which was made to fit the top note die perfectly. The chocolate chip and pink piroutte felt flowers give this tote a soft look.

Ink: Chocolate Chip
Cardstock: Pink Pirouette
Accessories: felt flowers, Big Shot top note die, large oval punch, chocolate grosgrain ribbon, small gift bags (non SU!)

Top Note Birthday

This card uses the top note die. I LOVE this die! I stamped the polka dot background stamp on whisper white and then ran it through the Big Shot using the top note die. The top note is raised using stampin' dimensionals and the Happy Birthday flag is made by using a square punch, placing it at an angle to get the v-cut.
Supplies

Cardstock: Whisper White, Pink Passion
Ink: Pink Passion, Basic Black
