Textures and Frames- Sale-A-Bration time!

Hello fellow stampers, crafters, and friends!  Today I'm going to share a card with you using a stamp set that is in the current Sale-A-Bration brochure.  This stamp set can be used for so many things!  As it is a part of Sale-A-Bration, it can only be received (for FREE!) when you place a $50 (retail) order in my online store.  (Please be sure to use the hostess code for any orders under $150.  CODE: H6J4U9ZT)

Let's go ahead and get started.  Keep in mind, that if you watch my video, the directions here may be a bit different than in the video.  That's OK!  The order doesn't always have to be exact, depending on the project. 

How to:

The dimensions for the card are listed below.  Using those dimensions, cut and fold the papers needed. It is time to stamp!  Using the stamp that looks like a paint splatter, you will randomly stamp all over your medium sized basic white card stock, and along the edge of your largest piece of Basic white (I did the bottom edge, you can do any edge you like.) I started with my lightest ink color, which was Fresh Freesia.  I then used Polished Pink, then ended with Bermuda Bay.  On the smallest piece of basic white, I stamped the rectangular frame in Polished Pink, then stamped the splatter in the center of the frame in Fresh Freesia.  I did second generation stamping for that splatter!  I didn't want it to be too dark, as my sentiment is going to go here.  Now, stamp your sentiment in StazOn Black.  I used the You're so cool stamp from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set.  You can use whatever sentiment you have that fits!  remember that StazOn ink dries fast, so close your ink pad right away and stamp as soon as you have inked up!

Now that all the stamping is done, let's put the card together.  Adhere the sentiment piece to its Bermuda Bay mat, then adhere that to its basic black mat.  Now place some dimensionals on the back and set aside.  Adhere the largest basic white piece that you stamped only along the edge to the inside.  Adhere the middle sized basic white stamped piece to its black mat.  

Now, using the black baker's twine from the essentials pack, wrap around the large outside stamped piece three times.  Adhere the twine to the back to keep it in place and space the twine apart a bit on both sides.  (See picture or video.)  Now, adhere the whole piece to the card base, then adhere the sentiment piece to the center of the twine.  

Your card is complete!
