Yes, Sale-a-Bration is quickly coming to an end.  Only 2 Weeks left to get your Free Product because on March 22, 2013, Sale-a-Bration goes away for another year.

This is week 8 for the projects created with products from the Spring 2013 Catalogue and the Sale-a-Bration flyer.

This week, I have combined 2 stamp sets that go very nicely together to create a whimsical card, the  Rain and Shine stamp set and the Bootiful Occasions stamp set.  Ever since I saw the Bootiful Occasions stamp set, I knew I had to have it because there are 4 really cute stamps for several different occasions and you can just have fun creating with them.

This project also used the Masking Technique on the boots

4. Ink the rubber boot image with Melon Mambo and stamp on Whisper White card stock
5. Ink the rubber boot image with Melon Mambo and stamp on the Post-it Note.  Cut out the boot using your Paper Snips

7. Remove the Post-it Note and you can see two boots, one behind the other.
8. Stamp one of the umbrellas from the Rain or Shine stamp set on Whisper White card stock using Marina Mist ink and stamp the umbrella handle using Early Espresso ink.  Fussy cut both with your Paper Snips.
9. Using the Labels Collection Framelits and the Big Shot, cut out the 3rd largest label from Whisper White card stock.  Emboss using the Cloudy Day Embossing Folder and the Big Shot.
10. Cut a 4-3/4″ piece of the Marina Mist Striped Organdy Ribbon
    
11. Cut a strip of the Sunny and Sprinkles DSP – 1″ x 4″.  Cut the ends into a V shape.

Tip: An easy way to cut the V shape is to cut up the center of end to where you want you V shape to end and then cut from each corner, diagonally to the first cut.  In this way, you will get each side identical.
